Falling Back #wattys2017

Chapter Nine

When I woke up today, I felt really good. Usually I always wake up in a good room but today was different. I had this weird feeling in my stomach and I couldn't stop smiling. This is always how I feel when I have a crush. And guess who was on my mind? Mike Willis. I don't even like him so why did I wake up feeling like this?

            I didn't like Mike. Not at all. I can't even like Mike or else I'll turn out like my poor mother. But I could stop smiling. It's not about Mike, it's not about Mike. Maybe I'm just happy and nervous at the same time as to how I feel this missions going. That's all.

            Then, my bedroom curtains started swinging back and forth for no apparent reason. That's odd, considering my window is closed. After the curtains swung, the window opened itself. The window opened itself! What?!

            "Hello Sarah" said Steve as he came through my window

            "How did you do that?!"

            "Magic from heaven, how else?"

            "Why did you come?" I asked

            Usually whenever Steve comes, it's a sense of danger. As if something bad is going to happen. My stomach immediately dropped and I started trembling in fear. This was going to be bad. I could tell by the sorrowful look on Steve's face

            "I came to warn you Sarah" started Steve "You are about to make a very big mistake"

            "What's the mistake?"

            "I can't tell you Sarah. Just know that in a few days, there's going to be a villain and she will make your mistake worse"

            Steve's news was way worse than I thought. A villain?! I guess I should have known that there would be a bad guy in this mission. No impossible mission done by a sixteen year old girl has a happily ever after. There's always some sort of person getting in the middle of it.

            "Who is she?" I asked

            "You'll know" was all Steve said before he snapped his fingers and disappeared

            How was I supposed to know who this bad guy is if I don't know who she is? Was I scared? Yes. I was very scared for the wellbeing of my health and I was also worried about Mike committing suicide

            What was the mistake going to be anyways? Will it be that I ask about his past? Will I say something I shouldn't have said? Today was the ninth day of my mission. Was I about to like Mike? I really don't want him to commit suicide.

            Anyways, I feel as if, Mikes not as bad as he seems on the outside. I know it sounds crazy it's just, I see potential in him almost as if, maybe he's not a bad person. He probably did have a terrible past that made him like that. Maybe that's why God sent me on this mission. Because I could teach him to be a better person and save his life. Although it seems like so far, Mikes still a mule. Maybe nicer than when I first met him.

            It's funny how when this week started, I hated Mike more than any other human being in the world. Now, I'm starting to like him. No I'm not. Never mind.

            I had more to focus on today. Today is the school picnic. The school picnic is when the school does fun activities like water gun fights, picnics, kickball, etc. I should have a lot of fun. Especially since I loved it thirty days ago.

The front of the school was packed with hundreds of kids sitting on picnic blankets. It's time that I forget about the stupid thing Steve told me. I just have to make sure I make no mistakes so I could avoid this evil villain. Right, don't think about it.
