Being poor is not easy. There are things you'll like but can't have, there'll be things you'll wish for but you can't afford. Mia is a girl with a golden heart, but because of her family's poor social status, she always wished to be wealthy. She always wanted to own expensive clothings, mouth-watering food, luxurious house, and a new car but for her, it is impossible to happen as if it is a star that is easy to dream for but hard to reach.
"I want to be like her."
Mia told herself while looking at her cauldron. On it is an image of a young lady living in luxury. She may not want to, but Mia couldn't help but admire and envy the lady. She was fascinated with the beauty of the dress worn by the lady, with the sparkling headband on her hair, and with the branded bag she is bringing.
This young lady is Larah. She lives in wealth like a princess does. It is easy for her to have what she wants. It's easy for her to buy new clothes, to eat in various restaurants, and to travel in different parts of the world. She is a perfect example of a person who can get what she wants in just a snap of her fingers.
Mia, on the other hand, came from a family of witches. She's a good witch who fights for goodness but as much as she wants to not use her power in evil, she couldn't think of any other way to lift herself from poverty. In the years she has been watching Larah through her cauldron, she saw how their lives differed from each other, and that opened her eyes and made her see the things she could do if she would be just an ordinary person. She's been trying to study spells that could serve as a bridge to the life that Larah has. To exchange her and Larah's personality is the first thing that came to her mind, for her to experience the things Larah always experienced. It may be an evil deed, but she realizes she wants to be selfish for once. All her life, she's been on the side of the goodness and she thinks that maybe, it isn't that bad to break the rules sometimes
"I want to switch personality with Larah."
Mia wrote this on a clean piece of paper and poured the potion she made on it. She waited overnight to find out if the her spell successfully did its part.

And the next day, Mia woke up with a big and comfy bed. Which was Larah’s. And Larah woke up in a small bed. Mia was so happy that the magic work.
And day after day she felt guiltiness. But she didn’t mind cause this is what she wants.
"Hi Miss Larah, someone is looking for you downstair." the butler said.
And when Mia got into the last step of the stairs she saw a familiar face....
"What did you do to me?! Why are you in my body?! And why am I in your body?!" Yes. It was Larah.
"I don't know what your talking about, Miss." she said with a pleasant smile outside, but nervousness inside.
"Ugh! You have no idea how hard it is for me?!"
"Sorry but I think you entered the wrong mansion, miss." and with that Mia left Larah jaw dropped.
Larah continue living at Mia's house, with Mia's family. And Mia, continues to live her life.
Larah was sad...but Mia on the other hand...cries.... over joy.
Moments later, Mia had a guest. She didn’t know who is it but they kidnapped Mia in Larah’s body.
"Let me go!" Mia shouted, but as if they're deaf, they didn't do what Mia said.
Mia knows she's in trouble. I mean she's kidnapped. All she can do is cry, beg. Then moments after, they've got to their destination. A abandoned building, with blood stains.
"Hey Ms. Larah! How are you?" A old man said teasing Mia.
"I am not Larah! I’m Mia!" But instead of believing in Mia, they laugh.
"Don’t make us fools, shut up! and sign this!"
Before she can sign, a girl with a gun entered the room.
Then after the war...Mia and the girl who saved her was the only whose this alive.
"I’m sorry, Larah." yes, the girl was Larah.
"Nah, it's okay."
After the forgiving scene, Mia did the magic.
"I miss my own life, I want to be back in my own body." she said, and poured the magic potion again.
After months, Mia learned to love what she haves...Mia is now contended on what she haves. And that's the end of the story.
