The Wish

~ 1 ~

It had been some time since Iris's parents had told her to sleep, yet still, she laid there wide awake. I mean she was 17 almost 18- a senior for heavens sake! So why'd her parents even still care? Staring at her phone screen, she decides to take a glance at the time reading a clear 12:01 AM. It wasn't even that late! Not for Iris at least, she was used to waiting tell 3 or 4 before the thought of sleeping even crossed her mind. And today was no different. She planned to continue role playing until the other person fell asleep, before starting her homework sometime around 1... Or at least planed to- then you know would actually end up deciding to watch anime instead, the usual.

But as she laid there waiting for the response to her last message, her mind started to wonder.

What's it like... being a boy? They all seem so close... like all of them- maybe I wouldn't be alone if I was- no. Stop being dramatic. You aren't alone. You have friends. There are people out there who are actually alone. Shut the fuck up Iris... But still what if I was- scratch that I wish I was... I wish this rp could be real... I wish I could wake up tomorrow and be a boy... God- no no, anyone literally anyone if you are out there... please I beg of you I'll do anything- no not anything- but I'll do uh almost anything if tomorrow... if tomorrow I could wake up and be a boy- god if I'm going to wish for that make me some werewolf hybrid while you're at it- hm I want wolf ears and tail if anything- ooh and make me like 5'0! I want to be short! Oh oh and my eyes... hmm... make one silver and one light blue- and my hair like... OOH MAKE IT LIKE BOKUTO'S! But like with his hair down- Im really talking to myself again arent I- well I guess a girl can dream... how many times have I made this wish? Too many thats for sure.

As her phone lights up, the familiar sound of a new message rips her out of her thoughts, her mind now concentrating on her next response.

~ The next morning ~

Iris let's out a groan as she moves around trying to find the person, or thing that interrupted her sleep. Like usual she didn't remember her dream, but she knew last nights was a good one. Finding her phone that was blaring the "Theme of King JJ", her usual alarm ringtone, she quickly shuts it off before burying her face back into her pillow. Easily drifting back to sleep.

Only 15 minutes later she was awoken again by her second alarm. Repeating the process, she quickly falls asleep again. The same happening for the next 10 alarms she set...

Finally, her last alarm set goes off, fighting the urge to just chuck her phone across the room, she reluctantly sits up looking at her phone.

Shit- 7:50... I needed to wake up earlier! I didn't do my homework last night... like usual... This teacher emails my dad too great... Just great...ugh-

Pulling herself out of bed, she slowly drags herself to her bathroom. Looking at herself in the mirror, she can't help but groan again seeing her familiar face stare back at her. Now don't take it the wrong way, Iris wasn't against how she looked, she may be insecure but she's accepted her looks at least. The thing was, seeing herself staring back at her meant her wish didn't come true. Of course it didn't! Why would it? It never does. And never will. She can't help but laugh at herself for even hoping it would. It's literally impossible after all! Not to mention, she's been making wishes like this since she was like 6! Thinking back to one of her first wishes about having an overly powerful spirit animal, she just shakes her head sighing.

Taking one more look at her hair she groans seeing a knotted mess. Iris takes one hand running it threw her hair, or at least tying...not even getting halfway threw she pouts. Why can't I just cut this off already!
