Once upon a time, there was a young lady named Cherry. She was a girl of 15 years old, 140 inches, and long shimmering light brown hair. She had dark brown eyes, skinny barely weighing 95 pounds. She lived in the big city, where everything was ordinary and noisy. Cherry was always timid and because she wore glasses, with her hair in braids, kids from school would isolate and bully her. They would always call her names. For example, four eyes, brainiac, nerd, ugly and many other mean things. What would hurt her most were all the pranks they did on her. Like drench her shoes, write on her notes and books, glue her to a chair, and paint her stuff. In classrooms she would always be seated in the far corner facing the window because she was afraid of going near people, and because the other kids didn’t want to be next to her. Though she would love to look out the window and daydream about what life would be like if she were different, how much easier it would be if she was only popular. Of course, at that, time she believed it would never happen.

There came a time when she was too terrified to go to school because of previous day. They had sprayed so much paint on her hair that it almost had to cut like 10 inches in length. Although she was so ecstatic when she had heard the news she was going to live with her godmother who lived in a small town. That had a new school she could register to. She was so nervous contemplating what might happen. She kept thinking, “What if everything occurs again and I won’t be able to take it? I’ll explode!!!” Cherry kept shaking and biting her nails. She couldn’t sleep or eat. She was like a broken doll! Her parents were so glad that the day to take Cherry to her godmothers’ house was just around the corner. Meaning it was going to be very soon, whereas they could finally relieve the stress of their little girl Cherry. They started preparing everything to be ready to take her; they also told her get ready though they meant it mentally. In addition, when they finally told her that it was the night before leaving she had a glimmering smile that could light up the whole sky. Her parents were so surprised that they had those expressions of seeing a ghost, suddenly creep up behind you. They even opened their mouth slightly, and looked at her like a creature from outer space.

When they arrived to Cherry’s godmothers’ house, the first thing Cherry made notice of was the scenery. She completely loved it, the way it looked, like a house from a magical dream. At the front, there was a white fence which was made of wood. There was a pathway that would lead straight to the house but on the way there were other routes that one could take but would be longer since it would pass by the garden. She had all types of flowers, tons of roses in many variations in colors, flower bulbs which were yellow with a bold color and baby blue colored ones. Furthermore, she had all types of violets, lotus, lilies, acacia, amaryllis, orchids, tulips, peony, and cherry blossoms. Tons of others but those were the most common, after that she had more exotic ones. In addition it had a huge area for herbs. Outside her fences were trees, of apple and oranges. Since they had arrived at 7 am, Cherry had seen the sunset glowing over the house from the top right, she had barely seen the sun like this because she hadn’t left her home in a couple weeks because she had been traumatized by what had happened in the school. Another reason is because she lived in the city so it would usually be either clouded by the lights or/and the lights. She finally reached the porch of her godmothers’ house which was a light aqua color. “Hi, I’m Cherry” she said nervously to introduce herself to her godmother. Her godmother broke the ice, and went straight for the kill by going to her and hugging her real tight. Cherry was surprised, but very happy with the sudden show of affection; she felt like she belonged there.

Cherry went to her given room, and was delighted with what she had received. It was a square room that just before the end had some stairs that would go up to an area connected to the room, which in there had the bed and a window with a view of outside. On the bottom she has a desk, drawer, closets, rugs and a place that looked for witches and had witches craft. The place for witches was filled with vials, herbs, bowling pot, spices, and tons of other things. She was confused about that place for witches, so she went to ask her godmother. Which when she finally found her, realized that she was in a place similar to that area in her room. It was full of potions, herbs, magic books, and tons of other things, which was like a bigger version than the one in her room. Her godmother looked at her and smiled nicely, like meaning its okay I was going to explain this to you, in time.”Your parents also send you here so you can discover your true self power, of course we prefer for you to do things at your risk but we think you’ll enjoy this. Cherry gleamed with glee, she was blooming with so many emotions that could be shared with the world and still have tons extra, she couldn’t believe her ears. She had just heard that there was magic. Sooner than later, she realized that this could be her way out of misery; that there could be something that could make her popular. As soon as her godmother left her so she could have a chance to explore and observe the room , she rapidly started searching around till she was able to find a potion labeled “being someone you want to be”, after she grabbed it and hurriedly went to her room and hid it.
