Chapter 7

I was slowly eating my food, I'm not even sure if this food was even safe to eat. It tasted like someone put a dead rat in chicken soup. I looked over at Benny, five girls were surrounding him while he was eating his lunch. All of the girls were seniors and at this school, senior girls do not like to be around freshman boys.

Benny wasn't wearing his sunglasses at the moment, which then I saw something really strange. I used my vampire vision to see what was wrong with him. Benny's eyes were not the normal color they were. His eyes were now glowing a bright blood red color.

I gasped and looked away from him. There was something about this genie that I was never even told about. Sarah and Erica continued to talk about their weird girl stuff and I tapped Sarah's shoulder interrupting her.

"Sarah," I said tapping her shoulder.

"Yeah?" she said.

"I think tonight you should come over to my house."

"Do you need help with your math homework?"

"No, it's about the genie lamp."

"Usually when we get caught in some supernatural situation, I usually go over to Ethan's house to have the discussion."

"Right now, I kind of think Ethan is part of the supernatural situation."

Sarah thought around for a while.

"This isn't a trick to go on a date with you, right?"

"Sarah, are you really going to think that?"

"It's happened to me a couple of times before."

"Just please come over to my house tonight, I need someone to help me through this situation."

"Okay, I'll come over, just calm down."

"Good thanks!"

After lunch was over I went to my cooking class with Benny and Rory. The sickest sight that my eyeballs have ever experienced was right in front of me when I opened the door to the class. Every girl in the class was surrounding Benny he was taking it all in. A couple of girls were surrounding Rory when he was doing some tricks on his roller shoes.

"Okay, everyone, back away from the boys, we got another food lab for today."

Everyone in the class groaned.

"Today, we are making simple chocolate chip cookies."

Still as always we were not allowed to eat them. I got to my kitchen station with Ethan and Rory. The good thing about that fire the other day is that it didn't burn anything important in the kitchen, it just burned the pan that was on the stove.

"So, Benny, are you enjoying your popularity?" I said.

"Yeah, it's the best thing ever, so many girls around me, it's great."

"I just mastered a bunch of cool tricks with my shoes," said Rory. "A couple of the skater guys want me to hang out with them at the park."

"Wow, I'm glad to see you guys are enjoying your wishes."

"How come you never made a wish, Cody?" said Benny.

"Well, at the moment I couldn't think of anything to wish for."

"You could wish for anything you want, fame, money, good looks."

"Yeah, but throughout my life I never really asked for that kind of stuff."

"The genie offered you three wishes and you should use them."

"I don't want to use them right now," I said to Benny.

"Come on, make a wish!" said Benny sounding angrier.

"Stop telling me to make a wish!" I shouted back at him."

"That's it!" he shouted slamming his ingredients on the table.

The teacher left the room so there was no one around to stop what was going on. Benny ran up to me and grabbed me by the throat. I couldn't breathe at all from his gasp. I tried using vampire strength to break away from his grasp, but he must of used some sort of spell to make him stronger.

There was another thing about him. His eyes did the same thing that they did in the cafeteria and turned a blood red color. I looked around me and what seemed like a normal classroom was turning into something different. Fire was burning away the walls and building of the school and we seemed to be in some sort of weird place.

We were in some sort of vortex and we kept fall and Benny was still choking me. I couldn't breathe at all and his grasp was too strong. My lungs screamed for air and were starting to feel like they were shutting down. I wanted to tell Benny to stop doing this but he wouldn't he kept holding on to me and was watching me suffocate. I couldn't talk and I was at the point of getting dizzy.

After a few more seconds I heard these weird noises around me, it sounded like a bunch of laughter. It wasn't like normal laughter but it was a bunch of crazy laughter. Everything seemed to confuse on where the laughter was coming from. Everything confused me, I don't know if it was the vortex or if it was that I was at the point of dying.

After a few more moments from Benny choking me, I started to feel real dizzy. I think this was the moment of where I pass out, but in this time of moment I knew I couldn't. I couldn't figure out why Benny was choking me, and I also had to find out how to escape his grasp.

There was nothing more that I could think of, I could just let go and die or I could fight back. In my survival instinct it was telling to keep living and fight back. I was fading out fast so I had to think of something. I looked down a little bit and saw that my legs were still free. I knew exactly what to do. I think I have enough energy to get through this.

I looked down and did the best I could and gave him the hardest kick in the shin. He backed away in pain and I just found out that I wasn't in some purple vortex, I was back in cooking class. I looked at Benny and he was still holding his shin from being kicked. Even though class wasn't over I ran out of the room.
