Genie was a young girl who had a million dreams. Every night she would lie in bed with her curtains wide open , a vision through the windows of twinkling golden stars making a reflection in her ocean blue eyes.she would sit up and question herself. "Why couldn't I be a star?" She wondered. "Right , I know tomorrow will be my day , and I mean it this time!" - She said that every evening while being mesmorized by the shining stars , yet she still didn't portray one. Every day she would try and fail and try and fail , and after a few years dreaming she stopped herself. She believed it wasn't worth the wait anymore , for she wasn't yet a star , or even in the making. That night Genie cried herself to sleep , soaking her pillow in despair. "Why did I think I could. I clearly couldn't. I'm just an average 15 year old" she kept stressing to herself as she tried her hardest to fall asleep and get rid of her worries. The door opened. "Get out. I'm not in the mood" she murmured with her face squashed into her pillow. The character stood at the door happened to be her mum. Genies mum walked into the room and sat on the edge of the bed , laying her hand onto the crown of genie's head. "Genie your gonna have to calm down. Your making even more of a fool of yourself!" Her mum gently spoke. Genie sat up , sighed and caught her head in her hands. "Listen." Genie's mum commanded. " you've got to be patient Genie. Everyone is a glow stick. We have to break before we shine. Now get to sleep , good night" she said , making her tone quieter as she slowly walked out the door. Genie slammed her head back towards the pillow and shut her eyes , her tiredness making her fall asleep.
