Rhodey walked into her room, throwing her bag on the floor, and falling onto her bed. She held her favorite toy against her chest, her bumblebee transformer. She switched on her TV for the heck of it, but didn't pay attention to the report on the news.
"Astrologists have reported the existence of a new comet that will be passing by close to earth. They say the comet will be visible tomorrow night and that its orbit is very slow. They believe the comet will be visible for almost half a year as a result of its slow orbit. The astrologists have decided to name the comet (1) "mohou kiseki" meaning magic wonder. So get ready, turn out the lights, and look out your window tomorrow night. Who knows? It might prove to be magical. This is Laura Singer, signing off."
Rhodey flipped through the channels, not aware of the report that had just come on. She decided to leave it on Disney channel, watching The Suite Life. She sighed laying her head down. She was tired. She turned over and just stared at the ceiling as she felt her eyelids begin to close.
She eventually fell asleep with her TV and her school clothes still on. She didn't even bother making the bed. She held her Bumblebee toy against her chest as she slept.
The alarm sounded making Rhodey jump up in surprise, her heart pounding against her chest. She glared at it and just hit the off button.
Stupid thing's gonna make me die of a heart attack one day, she thought to herself. She got up off her bed and realized she still had yesterday's clothes still on and the TV was still on too. She turned off the TV and put on some new clothes. Next she went to the bathroom to wash up then came back into her room. She looked at her toys that were seated on shelves around her room.
"Alright, so who wants to go to school today?" she asked. Yeah she still talked to them, but did it really matter. No. She didn't care what everybody else thought. They were her toys, her only friends and she wouldn't let anything happen to them.
She looked around, thinking to herself. She had taken Bee yesterday so who should she take today? Hmm. She looked from her Transformers to her dinosaurs. She grabbed the raptor she had sitting on her dresser. This one was her favorite dino because it had a lot of color and design to it and had been made to look pretty real.
"I'll take you today" she said to her toy, "Okay, now into the bag. I'll see y'all later!"
She waved goodbye to the rest of her toys and proceeded out the door. She ran down the stares just as her mother was getting ready to call her. She came up to her mom and smiled.
"Morning, mom!" she said cheerfully before skipping out the door. Joan just stood there with a confused face and looked out the door. Had she missed something? She just shook her head. Her mouth twitched slightly, almost invisibly, making it seem as if she had wanted to smile. But had she?
Rhodey hopped into the car. Ryan turned around in his seat to look at his sister. She was smiling and cuddling her raptor close to her chest.
"What's up with you today? You fall out of bed or somethin'?" he asked, confused
"No, just feel good" she replied looking up at him.
"Riiight. Okay. I guess" he said, even more confused. He took one more look at his sister and turned back to the front.
Their mother got in at just then and turned on the car. Once again, Ryan was dropped off first and then Rhodey.
Rhodey couldn't help but smile the entire drive. She didn't know why, but she had a good feeling about today. She had this strange feeling that something good was going to happen today, something magical. But what?
She walked to class with a smile on her face. Yeah, today was going to be great.
