The Magic Glasses

It is my first time writing and uploading a story. Hope you like it! And if there are any suggestions I would love to hear them!

Adam Hills was a smart and intelligent 14 years old boy, not typically a nerd but some still called him that. Why? Well since he was great in sports, studies, stood up to bullies for others, and was kind to everybody that everyone liked him, or so he thought. Not everyone in the school liked him, there were still people who had him on their hate list, but Adam was not just smart no, he was oblivious too. But right now none of that mattered for the young boy who didn't know what was happening with him, why he was standing in front of someone whom he didn't even know about. He was perplexed, to say the least. In front of him was standing a person, tall with broad shoulders, brown hair, and grey eyes. He was wearing some kind of clothes which he only saw in fairytales what were they called ''......'', "whatever were they called it shouldn't be my concern but knowing where I am and who the person is should be my concern" the boy thought.the person about who he still didn't knew anything about was saying something but he didn't even knew what it was he was saying since he was still processing what was happening,the person saw the look of pure puzzlement on the kids face and said ''Ah!pardon me i don't know where my manners went, but im William, William D'souza, forgive me for my behaviour'' the boy was never more confused in his life than he was standing right there, ''I-i'm A-Adam,y-yes Adam'' the person who called himself William chuckled bringing his hand up and shaking it with the adams saying, ''Nice to meet you Adam'' ,''now where was, I? Right!'', he said startlling the poor boy who wasn't in his senses. While William fiddled in his pocket taking out a long box, ''Aha here it is'' he said handing the box to the the boy and saying, ''Here you go this belongs to you now'' the said boy looked between the box and the prince, (he thought that the term prince suited him and was more easy to say than his actual name) and asked, ''What is this and why does it belongs to me? And how do I know if I should trust a stranger about who I know nothing more about except his name and his looks?'' the prince seemed more surprised now, but he got over his surprise more quickly than Adam thought he would, although Adam didn't knew why he was surprised in first place, the prince let out another chuckle saying ''Ofcourse you are one of those boys who are smart but still oblivious, and of course Henry chose you to have it!'' The boy didn't know what to think about what the prince said, ''.......oblivious?'' the boy repeated "Yes you heard me right oblivious.'' Then he mentioned, ''Well would you look at the time it looks our meeting is over and you have to find out by yourself what that thing does i'm-smart-but-still-oblivious-boy.''

Adam didn't knew what had happened one moment he was sitting on the sofa watching tv with his parents, then next moment he was standing in front of this man who looked like a prince and was calling himself William, and then again in next moment he was sitting up in his bed, the box the boy thought, but then brushed it off thinking it as a silly dream and laying back in the bed trying to sleep, but after a lot of tossing and turning in his bed he decided that there was no use in trying to sleep. As much as he dreaded getting out of bed he had to do it, after all his mom would be here to wake him up for school after ten minutes or so. Leaving all temptations of snuggling back in his bed behind him he got up and ready for school, but while combing his hair he saw it there on his dressing table was the same box the prince have given him, he reached out to open it and there it was a beautiful looking pair of glasses he touched it and closing it as fast as if he shouldn't have opened it, but he felt it, he felt the sparks in his body from his head to all the way down his toes. He opened it again a took a good look at the pair they are...fascinating and... there was something else that made him curious and the need to wear it, but he learned from a long time ago to not to give into his curiousness but as the saying goes "curiosity killed the cat" and the curiosity was killing him but then he recalled the second part of the saying, "satisfaction brought it back". So he gave in and reached for the glasses but as he was doing so his mother took that as her cue to come in and wake him up. She was startled to say the least since Adam never woke up until she threatened him about calling his father to come and wake him up but after the surprised expression it was the worried and concerned one that crossed her features and she came near him, putting a hand on his forehead and asking, '' Are you sick dear? If you are then we can call your school and tell them that you are sick and can't come.'' As much as he would have loved to agree with his mother he didn't want to because he needed something to take his mind off of the feeling he was having, so he said, ''I'm ok mom, no need to worry. I'm not sick, I just slept early yesterday so woke up early too'', as much as he hated lying to her, he was not lying since it was a half-truth. By the time Adam reached school his curiosity picked up again and this time he didn't resist it and opened the box, the pair of glasses laid in the box unscathed. He reached in the box and took out the glasses, wearing them as fast as he could before anyone interrupted him again. ''Nothing happened'' mumbled the boy, but as he was reaching to take them off he saw Lizzy, who was famous in school because of her grades and looks, and let's not forget to mention her laziness and selfishness. Coming and standing in front of him with a bright smile on her face, some of her friends standing beside her, some standing behind her.But as he looked up he saw it, something he didn't know about. What is it about him and the people (or things in his case), he didn't know anything about standing in front of him? He looked closely and concluded that it was her shadow. But then concluded that no, it wasn't her shadow, after looking between Lizzy and her shadow he found out that it wasn't her shadow but her intentions, he could see past her mask. She and her friends were planning to coax him into doing their homework and if he refused they were going to lock him in a classroom after hometime so that he won't get out of the school till tomorrow. Why did my throat think that now was the best time to get dry?, complained Adam to himself, gulping his fear down his throat he managed to ask, ''Yes, Lizzy?'' Lizzy answered with a bright smile, which he now focused on and negotiated looked fake and suspicious ''Oh Adam! Thank god you are here! Me and my friends here, we all are having a lot of problem with yesterday's homework, so can you help us with it at lunch?'' He brought his hand up to his chin, rubbing it and thinking, though it appeared to them that he was thinking if he had anything to do at lunch, whereas he was weighing pros and cons, and trying to figure out if he can get out of it without making her angry. ''Well, as much I would love to help the Queen of the school I, unfortunately, can't because I have to assemble the exam papers roll number wise, since the teacher told me to, and if I don't, you and I both will be in the bad graces of Ms. Mendalives. ''Right after hearing Ms. Mendalives' name Lizzy turned pale, as if she had seen a ghost. ''Oh, no! It's okay I'll ask someone else's help with my homework, you should go arrange the papers!'' she said while taking a step and two back indicating she was leaving "I'll talk to you later!" said Lizzy over her shoulder. "Whew! That was easier than I thought" said Adam as he released his breath he was holding in and relaxed his muscles. After that day Adam never took off those glasses and always took them with him wherever he went. Who knew that meeting a person in your dream will change your life forever.
