Imagine a life where everyone was the same. With only one person different. You. Well I made a wish I regret. Now I have to fix it. I have to make everyone different from each other. But it’s hard to do that. It’s hard because I don’t know how. Never have I once stepped out into the cold world and looked around at how people act or dress. I used to but I stopped because I realized how everyone are back stabbers.. I wonder…Will I be Unique forever? Will I?
Chapter 1
It’s cold today…What to do? I look around my room.
Nothing.
Hmmm. I get up and walk out of the room. Mom and Dad are smiling. You see, there is a different mood or act everyday. Today is either excited or happy. But not happy to me. I’m not even close to happy. I have to live around people who act the same. WHAT WAS GOING THROUGH MY MIND?! Oh well ….
“Mom? Why so happy??” I ask, to start a conversation.
“I don’t know sweetie, I just feel the need to smile ALL day” She said with the sweetest smile.. She never smiled like that before. It’s good to see what her smile looks like I suppose. I mean it isn’t fair to her that she is like hypnotized into smiling at me. I don’t even smile. There is nothing to smile about. There has never been a happy moment I can remember.. Doctors say it’s because All the fun happened while I was a child.
One of these days the act will be honesty and I will find out what I want to know. It’s not fair People have to lie to me, But before this wish happened, Mom and Dad used to say “Life isn’t fair” anytime I told them something wasn’t fair. I really shouldn’t be complaining because their life is unfair now and who is to blame?? Me. But I won’t apologize. Sometimes you have to live with what you do to see where it leads. That day of Honesty can be one of the worst days of my life, Who am I kidding? Everyday is a bad day in my life. “Dad, What about you? Why are you so happy?” I asked, to break my thoughts.
“Because everyone else seems just as happy. Take a look outside!” He opened the curtains.
I look outside. “Wow everyone looks so peaceful. Maybe I should go out.”
“Okay but be home at a reasonable time, I mean Be careful” Mom Said smiling and waving.
I assured her I would and left.
Chapter 2
I pull my hood on and walk down the street. Looking around at all the smiles, I stop.
“There has to be at least one person who is different from the rest of the world.” I said to myself.
Right then my phone received a message.
No number?
No Redial?
Weird, but as soon as I read the message things got even weirder.
“Yeah… You!” I read aloud.
WHO sent this?? Who could have sent this? I mean this is so creepy, but more importantly, This person is just like me. But how do I find this person? I have no way to contact them.
Well I’m so lost at the moment. I guess I can forget about it for now.
I walk into the store to get a Hot Chocolate. I guess the cold air is getting to me, after all it’s the middle of winter.
The Cashier greets me as I walk in. I walk into an isle.
“ Oh excuse me young lady, Would you please reach that can of cat food for me?” this old lady asked.
“Uh, sure.” Getting the cat food down and handed it to her.
“Thank you, umm…What is your name?” She asked.
“Um my name is-“
Just then my phone rang. I Picked it up.
“Hello?”
“ Don’t try to forget me… You and your friend will need me. To reverse the wish, remember?”
“My friend? Who is this?”
“ I granted your wish but it seems like you don’t like it.”
“Why would you do that? And who is this friend?”
“ You were in need of it, there’s a lesson to learn from it.”
“You are not answering my questions! Where can I find you?”
“you can’t.”
“ I’m not in the mood for hide-and-seek.”
“Child, When have you ever been ‘in the mood’ for anything?”
“Who are you and why are you watching me?”
“Your call has been disconnected by the caller, please call back later. Goodbye.” the operator said.
Well at least I know this person is watching me… But from where? And why? And another thing…who?
Chapter 3
I turned around and the old lady was gone. Oh well. I have other things to worry about, like finding this guy and the friend he talked about.
I walk out of the store, forgetting all about the hot chocolate. Looks like it’s time to go to the library. I walk to the public library three blocks away from the store. I sit down by a computer and search “The abnormal occurrence of the human similarity act”.
Nothing.
Then I searched “Wishes do come true”
Many results but none had anything to do with my situation.
I searched “Reversing a wish”
NONE OF THESE WILL WORK!!!
I went to look for a book. I found a book called “
Wishes: The secrets behind them
”
I opened the book to the first page :
“Wishes are granted by spirits who live amongst the world, not visible to the world. The spirit has a job to grant your wish and watch you to see whether you like the wish or not. Your wish is only granted when you both, you and a partner you don’t know make the wish together.
Unfortunately if the wish is disliked and unappreciated the spirit will turn against you both. A wish should only be asked for if you and the partner really want it. Read more to find out more about wishes.”
I checked the book out. This book must have been made for me. But this makes no sense. How do I find him? I mean he’s a spirit. And he hates me.
I think as I walk. Wait…that means there is a person like me except it’s not who I thought it was. This person must act differently from the rest of the world too. Great, all I have to do is look for someone different… Now that will be hard if he/she is a happy person today, Because today I WILL find this partner and we will reverse this wish.
Look for a different expression. Out of all the smiles there has to be a different face.
I walked home that night repeating it … I walk in the house to see mom and dad still smiling at me. Not asking any questions I walk to my room. I sit on my bed and think…Oh no. What if tomorrow’s act is sad? This is bad. I can only hope tomorrow is something simple. Plus I have school. This sucks. It’s going to be really hard. I don’t know anyone at school. It’s too big of a crowd to even think about looking for someone different.
“Sweetie are you hungry? I made burgers and fries.” Mom walked into my room smiling.
“No thanks…I’m full.” I lied. I wasn’t in the mood for eating, I had too leave to find this partner immediately.
I walk out of the room. “Mom, dad,
I’m going out again. Need anything?” I ask.
“No we are fine sweetie.” Mom said.
I left without any questions.
