♠️ Our Shared Wish ♠️

ᴏɴᴇ

Another day passed, and school was just as painful as usual. Walking through the halls alone with my backpack slung over my shoulder and watching everyone converse happily only made me more jealous each day. Kuro keeps telling me that maybe I'll have more luck in high school, but I don't believe it.

Sometimes, I think, maybe it's okay. Because when I pick up my controller from the floor of my room and start playing my favorite games, I feel like... maybe I don't really need friends. Maybe, I can survive middle school, and high school, alone. On a bad day, all I had to do to cheer myself up was play. I don't need friends to help me. Very soon after I picked it up, though, I quickly paused the game and dropped my controller.

"Hello." A voice spoke to me. When I turned around, a girl that looked to be around my age sat on my bed frame. She had emerald green eyes, golden hair not too much longer than mine, and a slightly worried expression to accompany it. "You seem distressed... is everything alright?" The girl asked, but I was too focused on the pair of fluffy white wings behind her, and the bright gold ring above her head to answer her question.

The girl seemed to laugh a bit. "I can't say this is the first time I've gotten that reaction... Come, sit next to me for a moment or two, won't you?"

After what seemed like a long time, I stood up and sat next to the girl on the edge of my bed. "Who are you?" Was all I was able to say. With a soft smile, she answered "You may refer to me as your guardian angel. I come to people who are distressed to grant them a single wish."

"A wish...?" I asked, frowning. "Yes, a wish! You may ask me for a wish, and I will do my best to grant it within the short week that I will be here." The angel smiled brighter. "Do you have one in mind?" She asked excitedly.

Silently, I glanced at my controller, then back at the angel. "Yeah... I guess I do." I could have sworn her eyes glistened. "I wish...

...to not feel so lonely anymore."
