Element Fairies

Alone

I continued looking through every single pocket I had. There was no crystal or any other ones I had. I looked up to find myself in a different scene.

I was in the place where I first met Wendy in person. Why was I here?

"Wendy?! Please! Tell me what's going on!!" I yelled into the clouds.

I waited a few moments then a voice came, but it wasn't hers. It was a man's voice I didn't know but felt very familiar.

"Wendy dose not exist."

"...what?" I asked softly.

"You had made a wish. A wish that meant you never wanted your powers. You're now in a different universe where you never got your powers."

"...wish..." I remembered what I did. "Oh no...so this must mean... I'm acting like a normal girl, dress like one, and.....I'm still friends with..Mazin?"

"Yes."

I thought about the mistakes I had made in my own universe. I lost my best friend and the chance to fit in and be normal.

The voice spoke again. "If you can learn to truly be happy in this world you will go back to your own. I suggest you learn the ways of this version of yourself and try not to act strangely to other people."

I nodded and closed my eyes. When I opened them I was back where I was. I grabbed my bag and swung it over my shoulders. I ran back inside the school then heard the bell ring.

I walked down the hallway to my class. The atmosphere around me just felt different. It felt calmer than usual but inside of me I felt like my life was over.

'How can I be happy here?'

I arrived at my class and waited to see if the seats where the same. Once I saw someone take my usual spot I stalled myself.

'Wait...Mazin will talk to me-' my thoughts were interrupted.

"Candace! You forgot to come back to the table!" Mazin spoke behind me. I turned with a fake smile.

"O-Oh I'm sorry..." I watched her as she sat down in a desk. She looked at me and motioned me to come sit next to her, with a confused face.

I walked slowly to the seat and finally sat down. I got a water bottle to calm myself down.

'I just have to act normal. Then be happy someway..'

"So how's the relationship?" She asked. I started choking and I spit a bit of water on myself.

"ARE YOU ALRIGHT?!" She stood up and patted by back. I nodded but continued coughing. Everyone stared at me and I faced the floor. I eventually calmed down.

"Um..so. My question?"

"Oh..uh. What?" I was confused on what relationship she was talking about. I would have never thought about it. Mazin laughed.

"How's it going with Blade?" She grinned.

A sick feeling in my stomach overtook me. I stopped myself from vomiting. 'Nope. Nope. I have to act normal, not grossed out.' It's a good thing I'm a convincing liar.

"I guess it's going well."

All day I've been approached by people. I honestly don't hate the attention. It's kind of nice not being invisible, but yet I don't like the version everyone likes. I hate myself in this universe.

I've become what I've always disliked and I hate that everyone likes this version. The teachers even treat me differently. They're not as nice.

I walk around and someone is always speaking to me or people crowd me as if I'm royalty. I don't enjoy it but...I like that they actually are talking to me as if I'm not a weird girl. It's lunchtime and I walk to the cafeteria with Mazin, Cherry and the other girls.

I remember the last time we where all together like this. I don't enjoy remembering it.

"Hey Mazin!" I said as I approached her and a few other girls.

Cherry spoke before Mazin could. "We call her Maye now. Hey Candance."

"Hey Candace." Mazin waved and immediately noticed something was different. She wasn't wearing her usual tomboy outfits. She was wearing something girly.

These past few months have been kind lonely. I ended up being alone in every single class. I had made friends with Cherry the year before, then introduced her to Mazin.

This year they got the same class and spend every moment together. We all only get to see each other at lunch and on the playground.

"You look different Maz-..Maye." I corrected myself.

"I know! Don't I look like a normal girl now?!" She smiled brightly. I've been noticing how much she's been changing lately. She's becoming what she's always hated.

One of the other girls spoke. "Well we should get our lunch before the line gets too big."

"Your right." Cherry lead the girls to the other side of the room and left me behind stuck when I was blocked by kids.

"It's time to grow up." Cherry said behind me. "I've changed Maye. I just can't seem to get through you. In fact you seem even more childish."

I made a fist but kept calm.

"You used to wear normal clothes, but now you wear sparkly clothes like a little girl."

I didn't speak.

"What's wrong with you? Can't you see your not popular anymore?" She laughed.

"Being popular doesn't matter. What matters is having good friends who'll always be there."

"Hmph. Well if you haven't noticed...Maye doesn't hang out with you that much anymore."

I faced the floor. I heard her footsteps come closer until she was right behind me. "Nobody dose anymore...everyone's forgotten you." I didn't speak to her. I just made fist and tried to keep myself calm.

"Before I leave forever with your "best friend" I just need to say this...I only became friends with you so I could become popular."

That's when I started walking away. Walking to a small tree near a small creek. Where I would spend the lunch and recess for three years...

Alone.
