Chapter 1-A Wish That Could Never Be Granted
Erin was walking down the hall of her school. it was her first day of being in 6th grade. all of a sudden,
she heard a group of kids down to the right of her having a conversation to a boy she'd never seen before. then
she heard the name Brett. she'd never heard the name before so she thought it must've been the new kid. as she
walked towards the crowd, the boy just stood there swarmed by kids he'd never met before. at that moment, Erin
thought she actually kind of liked him, and when she got to know him even more, she actually thought he was
kind of cute, nice, smart, and funny. he had blue eyes, freckles, was skinny(but strong), was just a bit taller than
Erin, had reddish-orangish hair, owned the most wonderful smile, and had the cutest laugh you ever did hear.
Erin on the other hand had short, dark, brown hair, hazel eyes, was the skinniest person in her class,
sounded and looked like a boy, her teeth were a little crooked(only on the bottom,
and her smile was, okay. Brett loved to play the guitar,Erin wanted to, but didn't know how. he liked heavy-metal
rock that said cuss words, Erin normally never listened to that, but she listened to christian rock.
his parents were so cool, on the other hand, Erin's parents weren't so much. she liked to
draw animals, he liked to draw graffiti and things like that. at first they were best friends, then a girl named Eric
came along. she was blonde, and Brett literally fell in love with her. so he left Erin in the dust and followed
Eric. they became best friends of course. Brett hadn't talked to Erin for 3 weeks, Erin thought he'd forgotton
all about her, until one day they were walking down to the computer lab for their class, and Brett caught up with
Erin. he plainly said, "You've been really quiet lately. it seems like you've been avoiding me.". the nerve of him!, she
thought. she'd been trying and repeatedly trying to get him to notice her again, but he was always with that Eric
girl! and he thought she was avoiding him! huh! "Whatever," Erin said coldly. they both walked quietly down to the
computer lab without saying a word to each other. the next day, was a happy day for Erin, because Eric was sick
that day. Erin loved it when Eric was sick! the reason why is because Brett's locker is right next to Eric's locker, and
Eric's locker is right next to Erin's locker! which means Erin could freely talk to Brett now without Eric there! Erin
liked Eric, but sometimes she could get annoying when it comes to Brett. yes, that day it was actually Brett who
talked up a storm and tried to impress Erin, not the other way around! Erin had never gone out with any one, but
one boy named Brandon, it was in 4th grade, but he cheated on her so she broke up with him. since then she had
never liked a boy again. she had other friends though, lots of friends. there was Carmen, Adam, Angie, Sadie,
Elissa, and Kim. see what i mean? she had tons of friends. she didn't need some boy coming into her life, even
though Adam was a boy, kind of, but that's off subject. my point is, she was happy just the way she was. she didn't
need no stupid boy with her! and that's what she thought too, thank god. Erin actually started to get over him, until
Erin began to have dreams about. six in a row to be exact, but who's counting? certainly not me. anyway, after
that, she new she still liked him, just a little bit in her heart. because on the outside, she actually kind of ignored
him. soon that all changed, when Eric and some other girls closed in on him. they were like all over him like
bats and a bucket of blood. the girls were the bats, and Brett was the blood they were going to feed on. Brett had
no problem with it it seemed, he embraced them, he welcomed them, i guess you'd say he was a player. through
out almost all the year he'd had six girlfriends. talk about cupid in human form! everytime someone dared him to
ask Erin out they both yelled "GROSS!" or "EEWWWW!", and that's just the way they both reacted when
something like that happened. even if one or both of them liked eachother. so Erin's wish never came true, or in
her mind, the fairy godmother never came and granted Erin's wish. i guess it just wasn't meant to be.
