Zanes POV 

It has been a week since I wished on the star. Nothing has changed. I dont know what I expected. Stars aren't magic. Its just something people do to have hope.  I sat down at the table with my tv dinner. My brothers were both eating in their rooms. My dad was at work and my mom was at her friends house. So just like every other time, its just me. I pulled out my math homework and finished that while i ate. I threw away my trash and grabbed my phone. It was 9:16. I might as well go to the woods. I dont have anything else to do.

"Im leaving!" I yelled up the stairs where my brothers rooms are. No response. I figured. I walked put of the house into the woods behind my house. I used my flashlight to navigate the woods until i got close to my tree. It was about 9:40 when i got there so it was pretty dark.

"Why am i such a loser?" I heard from the tree. What in the world? Is someone out here? It sounded like a girl....
"Why cant i do anything right?!" The girl says to herself again. Should i go over there? Probably not. No one likes me, what would make her any different? I turned off my phone to avoid the girl noticing me. However, she had her phone on which enabled me to see her features. She had long raven black hair and gorgeous caramel eyes. Her skin was tan and fit her perfectly. She was REALLY pretty. She looked sad and judging by how she was talking about herself, i think im right.

"Im pathetic." She mumbles. I look at this girl in pity. I know how much it sucks to hate yourself. Ive barely looked at this girl but i already feel a connection. The girl slumps against the tree and starts to cry. I really want to go comfort her, but it would be totally weird. Instead, i sit on the ground behind a tree and empathize with her while she cries. After a while, I decide to start heading back home.

Its about 11pm so i got into my pajamas and brushed my teeth. I plopped down onto my bed and thought of the girl. In fact, i couldnt stop thinking about her. Ive never seen her before. Maybe shes new? Maybe i will see her at school tomorrow. I fell asleep thinking about her....
