The Wishing Well

Chapter 1

I always thought that I could lead a normal life, but I guess not.

" Miss Tapper, pay attention!" shouted my math teacher for the third time. Everyone laughed but I didn't care. Getting laughed at seems to be something that happens to all of us. But no matter how hard I tried I couldn't pay attention. I was too worried about this weekend. My parents have to go on a business trip for the weekend so I have to stay at aunt Chloe's for two pathetic days. Aunt Chloe looks like a witch, too. Frizzy black hair, her favourite colour is black, green eyes that reminds you of spooky black cats. I was not looking forward to this weekend at all. Just then a note got passed to me by Sarah. Here are three words that describe her: Mean. Bossy. Sassy. I picked up the note. It said ' Alisha the loser. ' on it. I frowned and threw the note right at Sarah. But Sarah threw it back. I caught the note in my hands. But the worst part was that my math teacher noticed me, holding the note. "Alisha! What is our rule about passing notes?"
she shouted. "Don't pass notes." I said, my head buried in my arms. " Then why did you pass that?" she asked.
"After math I'm going to have a little chat with you!" "But..." I tried to say that I wasn't passing notes. "No buts!" Just then the bell for lunch rang. "Everyone get to the cafeteria and eat your lunch!" she yelled, as everybody was already scurrying off. "But wait one moment, Alisha." Sarah laughed at me and stuck her tongue out on her way out but my math teacher didn't seem to notice. "I'm writing a note to your mother." she said. 'Great. My mom is going to kill me when I get home.' I thought. Once she was done writing the note, she handed it to me. "You better not lose that." she told me. I could see the anger it her eyes. "I don't want that to happen again." "It won't if Sarah and her friends weren't passing them to me." I mumbled  on my way out, but obviously she didn't hear that. I raced to where Belle was sitting. "Belle! So happy to see you!" I cheered. "Why? What happened?" she asked. I panted. "So Sarah and her little gang were passing a note and the note said 'Alisha the loser ' and my math teacher saw me with it so now I have to give my mom this note!" I shouted, as I pointed to the note I placed on the table. "Wow. All that just because off that Sarah." Belle said, eyeing Sarah. "I know," I agreed. "now I feel like your my only friend in the world!" Belle didn't say anything to that. "Well anyways, what should we g-" I cut her off in mid-sentence. "And tomorrow is Saturday!" I said, squeezing my eyes shut, not believing what I just said. "Yeah. So?" Belle said. "Yeah. So?! So that means I'm going to the witch's house." I yelled. Belle giggled a bit. "Well we can still hang out." she assured me. "well, that is if the witch lets you!" We both laughed. Suddenly, Sarah and the rest of her friends walked over to our table. Sarah in front, which means she's the leader, and the rest of her friends behind her. This made a big commotion in the cafeteria. "So, I see you've got a note." she exclaimed. "Yeah. I have a note only because of YOU!" I shouted. Sarah fingered her silky blonde hair and she laughed like a sassy girl (which she is so I'm sure it wasn't a fake sassy girl laugh). Sarah immediately changed the subject because I don't think she had anything else to say about the note business. "Wow! I'm surprised that you two are still friends!" She said, with her evil smile. "Yeah. We are still friends and your not going to change that!" I explained. "Mhm. Right." Sarah said sarcastically. "Mhm. Right." I repeated. Sarah gave me a cold stare and walked off with her gang behind her. "Phew." Belle said in relief. "Just ignore them next time." I told Belle.
After lunch I had science which was boring (as usual). Then I had gym.
Mr. Ron is my gym teacher and trust me, he is much nicer then my math teacher, Mrs. Laye. We played dodgeball for gym and I wasn't on Sarah's team. I'm not saying it's bad but if I'm not on her team that means she'll probably go for me. I was right. She always tried to go for me. I ducked and jumped which helped a lot. It was much more useful then standing there. In the middle of a game I started to sweat and get thirsty so I asked Mr. Ron if I could get a drink from the water fountain and he said yes. I ran across the hall to the water fountain. I felt like putting my head under the tap where the water comes out because I was super sweaty. Instead I took a long sip and walked back to the gym. When I opened the door a dodgeball came flying at me and it hit me right in the face. No wonder, because Sarah was the one who threw the dodgeball. Mr. Ron came rushing towards me. "Are you okay?" He asked. "Yes. Just my nose hurts a little." I explained. "Do you need ice?" He asked. "No. I think I'll be okay." I said. I gave Sarah a dirty look. But after a while I think it got worse so I asked for some ice. At the end of the day I met Belle at her locker because we usually walk home together. I explained everything that happened in gym and I could see that she was very upset with Sarah. Then we came to the block where I turn right and she turns left so we said goodbye. Ugh. Time for my mom to see this note. All because of Sarah.
