The Life of a Genie - By Judith Tyler

Chapter 5: No Queen Joanna, It wasn't Elyse's Baking

I couldn't believe I was actually seeing him again. Morgan was one of my old masters and

his wishes were some of the hardest to grant.

The first wish was that his sick mother in the hospital would get better, which was a common wish and was easy to grant. The second wish was a little trickier. He was only trying to help his family, but he accidentally had me rob a bank to get money. It doesn't just come from nowhere when you wish for it. It has to be taken from somewhere.

This happened in England and he got in a lot of trouble with the police. They found all the money in his room and was almost arrested. However, instead of wishing for him to be out of jail, he was so mad at me that he wished he had never rubbed my lamp in the first place.

When that happened, I realized that everything would reverse. Meaning that his mother would fall ill again. I tried to warn him against it but by the time he was out of his rage, it was too late.

Why do mortals have to be so stupid.

However when I walked into the classroom with Harv and he saw me, he looked more surprised than angry. It was impossible for me to run away so I did the only thing I could do.

I got up in front of the class with him and the teacher introduced us.

"Hello. I'm Judith Tyler and I am from Arabia." The class stayed silent accept for Morgan who suppressed a laugh.

"Hello. I'm Morgan Brady and I am from England." He mocked my tone in his cool accent and the whole class laughed. Harvey was laughing too, but not as much as everyone else. I took a seat next to him and Morgan sat behind us.

After that class was over I tried to meet up with Harv, but Morgan pulled me aside.

"Judy, what are you doing here?" He asked me. I looked both ways to make sure no one

was listening and brought us around the corner to talk.

"My new master is Harvey."

"The guy you walked in with."

I nodded at him.

"Is Elyse here too?"

"No, she's at home cooking."

"Aren't you worried about the lamp exploding again."

I chuckled.

"It's not the lamp. Harvey broke it." I told him, remembering what that idiot did to my lamp.

"Wow, I didn't know it was even breakable."

"Me either."

We both laughed a little bit and I looked Morgan in the eyes. Something was different about

them. The last time I saw them, every speckle in them was filled with hatred towards me. It seemed to have died down now.

"How is your mum?" I asked him, looking down at the floor.

"She's... not the best. Don't worry about it."

"Oh.." I said, pushing a stray hair away from my face.

"So, if your not living in your lamp, you still have a place to stay, right?" He asked me, putting a hand on my shoulder.

"Yes." I said, putting my hand over his.

When he used to be my master, he had space between his first and second wish. He hung out with Elyse and I a lot. We started to consider him family. Until the whole police incident. I definitely missed him

"Well, I better get going then." He said, walking off to his next class. Before he completely left, he yelled back to me "Nice sweatshirt."

I smiled at his compliment. Back when I served him, I would always be in my dress and he never brought me to school. Harvey was definitely not like Morgan. I was still trying to find out if that was a good or bad thing.

"Hey Twinkle-toes, we have Chemistry next." I heard Harvey's voice call out to me from across the hall.

"Listen home-wrecker, I don't know what Chemistry is but it sound like some sort weird potion so no thanks.

"You're not that far off with the potion thing. Will you just come on and stop complaining?"

"No."

"Am I going to have to drag you?"

"I'd like to see you try."

I really shouldn't have said that because I wasn't paying attention enough to do quick magic and ended up being swung over Harvey's back and carried to Chemistry.

It was actually a pretty fun class. I got to combine chemicals and make explosions. Harvey told me I was doing a good job, but I wasn't that sure. The teacher came up to me and asked me if I had 'life insurance'. I told her I did because I didn't know what that was and she just smiled. She told me to keep going, so I did.

Finally, after an exciting day of school, I was able to go home. When I got there, Elyse zoomed out of the aparment before we could even step through the door.

"She's here Judith. I'm sorry. I told her you were gone and she just got angrier."

"What are you guys talking about?" Harvey asked, peeking into the apartment. There, on the couch sat Queen Joanna, of the faeries.

"You have a lot of explaining to do Elyse. I thought we had strict rules against you baking int he lamp."

"It wasn't me this time I promise." Elyse whimpered, sitting on my shoulder, "It was him." She pointed at Harvey and every I in the room was in him.

A/N: I understand this was a really short chapter and I'm sorry about that. I really need to get inspired some how so these don't have to be as much filler chapters. You have been introduced to Morgan, so if you have questions for ANYONE in the cast, feel free to ask. Morgan is on the side. Lots of Love!
