My Wish Come True

Valentine's Day

Day before Valentine's Day.

"So who you think is going to confess to who? Or who's going to end up with who? Make your bets. Gilly asked the whole lot of us.

My bets were on these three couples:

1.Fiona and Kent

2.Chase and Ginger

3.Harry and Hilary

"EJ, who'd you pick. I wanna see." Archie snatched my paper from my hands.

"Nice choices EJ," Bree and Georgie got a quick look at my list too.

"But I think Fiona's gonna end up with Jack. He has better style anyway." Bree nodded to where Jack and Fiona were standing. "Look, they seem close."

"No way, Fiona's going to end up with me. I know how to hack into her heart." Georgie said slyly.

"Ew, worse pick up line ever." Bree chimed.

"I have a feeling EJ's picks are going to win though." Archie was still looking at my list of names.

Tomorrow is Valentine's Day. Am I going to get a rose or maybe a love letter? Will I get my love story? I kept rolling in bed. Trying to imagine the possibilities. Suddenly smiling at the thought of my wish coming true.

I think if there was a Valentine's Day decorating contest, hands down my school would sure win. I mean it was like hearts and the colour pink just puked all over the school.

Archie just took it way over the top. He wore fake wings and a halo. Seriously this boy really loves to dress up.

"And this halo is for you. Angelic EJ. You mustn't take it off." Archie just placed it on my head and I gave him an angel approved look to entertain him.

I wore the halo everywhere. People stared at me. I felt like a museum artefact being displayed. I wanted to take it off but that would just hurt Archie's feelings. At the back of the class Kent was kissing Fiona. That was just seriously weird and also disgusting. I didn't like PDA especially in class. "I'm trying to study here." I hoped my brain waves would be able to send that message to them.

Next, someone singing in the cafeteria. Humongous posters plastered with Hilary's face hanged from the ceiling. When did they even have the time to get them up there? Harry was singing to Hilary and I think the whole school is tone-deaf because it was terrible. The guitar he used kept giving screeching sounds. Adios appetite.

Archie wasn't in class. Spanish without Archie, save me. I didn't understand a single thing and there was no one there to cheer me on saying I could do it.

"Hey, have you seen Archie?" I asked Georgie.

"No, he wasn't in English Lit today. Wonder where he went."

Where could this boy be?
