The rest of the day was as dull as it could get, my English teacher clean forgot about me after class so I followed Ginny to our last lesson, PE was a doosy, our team won at tennis 16-2, easy victory with hot-headed Ginny and me holding the rackets, we were cheered by the rest of our team as we headed for the changing rooms. The bus ride home was also dull, kids from year 7-9 attacked each other and many got hurt, it was nothing new.
"I'm home" I called out to Bella
"I don't care!" she yelled back, I sighed, sisters over 20 SUCK!
The afternoon went by really slowly, I snacked on at least six packets of crisps before I had my salad and I played on my computer games for the better part of an hour, I even drew some characters from a program called Death note! But finally, as it often does, the time came when Ginny knocked on the door.
"Door!" Bella yelled
"I Know!" I snapped, opening the door and allowing a very wet and tired Ginny inside.
"You look like a wet dog!" I laughed
"The tossers next door threw water balloons at me" Ginny grinned.
"Lol" I giggled
"Lol" she repeated
"I got a new book!" She grinned
"Ooh, what's it called?" I asked, Ginny took off her shoes and shook her hair, water splattered everywhere, she laughed
"Ewww!" I complained
"It's called Darren Shan-Cirque Du Freak!" she grinned
"You finally got it!" I jumped for joy "now I can talk to you about it, it's a great book!" I laughed
"Actually, you're gonn'a read it to me, remember" She probed
"Oh, right... you can't read, sure thing I'll read it to you!" I grinned and told her to come into my room, she trudged after me and sat in the middle of my carpet, I sat on my sofa bed and opened the book.
"Ok..." I coughed to clear my voice and began to read
"I've always been fascinated by spiders. I used to collect them when I was younger. I'd spent hours rooting through the dusty old shed at the bottom of our garden, hunting the cobwebs for lurking eight-legged predators. When I found one, I'd bring it in and let it loose in my bedroom..."
"... I stared at him. You told me I'd be safe as houses, I said. I lied. The potion sometimes drives its patients too far towards death and them never recover. And I could not be sure they would not perform an autopsy on you. And... Do you want to hear all this? He asked No I said sickly..."
Ginny yawned
"You ok Ginny?" I asked
"Yer, I just wish our life was like that" she muttered "Full of adventure and danger and stuff, not tossers and wankers!" she snorted
"I know what you mean" I sighed
"Yer" she yawned again
"I wish we could be inside the book" I added, Ginny looked at me and smiled.
"So do i!"
"Then let's wish!" I grinned "It can't hurt anyway" I pointed out, placing my hand over the book
"Alright you douchbag" Ginny laughed, placing her hand over mine
"On 3" Ginny nodded
"1...2...3!" I shut my eyes tight, and wished...
