So, after not being able to write for months now(laptop didn't work... very annoying) I finally am able to again and started this story now. I really hope I will get to a point this time and end the story for the first time in my life.
Whatever... As for the story I had the idea already quite a while ago and just had to write it. If you find grammar or spelling mistakes, please tell me, since I'm not an english native speaker this can happen and I really want to improve my style.
Okay, enough talking, here you go :)
Who doesn't know the annoying feeling of boredom? When you wish your life could be just a little bit more interesting and you would probably give anything for that.
Trust me, you really should be more careful with your wishes, because if you're really unlucky, they could become real...
"Come on guys. I know it's late, you all want to go home and everything, but we have to finish this one exercise. Please, we're almost through now..." Yes, our maths teacher was the passionate kind. He was absolutely convinced that his subject was the most important of all and we would never be able to succeed without maths- not that that wasn't normal for a teacher, but he exaggerated the whole thing.
This time, his clock was wrong and the bell rang before he had even finished his sentence and the whole class was gone just a second later, including me and my friend Mandy.
"He will never give up, right?" I asked Mandy ironically, while walking out of the school building and we both had to laugh about it. "I guess even the hope that he will ever change is wasted time." She answered. "Hey, do you have some time? Maybe we could drink a hot chocolate or something in the mall?" I asked her when we reached the schoolyard. "Sure thing. If you pay." She answered smirking. I rolled my eyes and smirked too, while heading to the shopping mall two blocks away.
"Oh, they set up the Christmas decoration, sweet!" Mandy had always been a geek when it comes to Christmas. "Come, maybe they already have the gingerbread coffee they have every year." I rolled my eyes while being pulled in the direction of the coffee shop right in the middle of the mall.
Actually Mandy's beloved gingerbread coffee was available already and so be both took one and sat down on one of their red couches that were scattered across the shop.
When she had drunk about half of her coffee, Mandy looked at her wrist watch and jumped out of her seat. "Oh my... Gosh, I totally forgot I have to be home in... Well, now... You know my family, there's always something up and... Uhm, I'll give you the money for the coffee tomorrow, alright?" She looked at me and waited for an answer. I smiled quickly and said: "Sure thing. Now go, we don't want your mom to start picking you up from school again, right?" We both chuckled, hugged each other and Mandy ran out of the shop and disappeared.
I quickly finished my own coffee took both cups back to the counter and paid. It was when I left the shop when I saw the woman the first time.
It was an old woman, at least 70 years old, she was wearing a long, dark skirt with a weird pattern and a blouse in a similar style, just not matching at all. Her fingers were covered in huge colorful rings. I was immediately thinking of these weird old ladies on fun fairs who claim to tell the fortune and everything.
"You're kidding me..." I murmured when I saw what was written on a banner that was attached to the booth she was sitting behind; "I shall make your dream come true."
I was about to walk away, but that woman catched my eyes with her look. Her green eyes locked with mine and didn't let me go. Like I was in trance, I stumbled in her direction.
"Hello, what is your wish? Tell it to me." She said when I stood in front of her. "I... I don't kn..." I stuttered, but the woman interrupted me. "We both know you have a wish. Do you really want it to be true? Is it what you really want?" She asked, still having my eyes tightly locked into hers.
She was right, I did have a wish, but it was more the kind of wish you don't think about so much. The thing is I couldn't say it. It was too childish, too hilarious to dare and express the wish.
"Girl, I don't need to hear the wish, just you to admit it. If you wish it, I will make it come true, as long as it is your one true wish, of course." The woman said. Now it was me who locked eyes with her, I wanted to see something in her eyes that could tell me that she was kidding me. But there was nothing. Her eyes were 100% honest.
"Yes, I admit I have a wish. But... It's just too... It's too ridiculous. Just leave me alone!" I turned around was was about to walk away as quickly as possible and already had the plan to forget about this, when I felt a tight hand around my wrist holding me back. "Too late, honey. You admitted the wish and it will become true." Right after her last word my vision became blurry and my head was turning. Before I realized what happened the ground was coming closer, I didn't even feel the impact before losing consciousness.
