Waking up in the middle of the night finding yourself lying down on the kitchen floor is creepy, especially when you didn’t sleep there last night. Oh by the way, I’m Angel; I go to Meredith middle school. I personally don’t like school because I got bullied all throughout my years in middle school. Everyone dislikes me or maybe I should say hates me, so my attention is to hate them back. Only one person in this school is my friend, her name is Lilly. I met her on my first day of school, and we became best friends; having sleep overs every Friday, and hanging out at her house every day after school. It was amazing.
I always try to avoid my parents, im their only child, but they don’t even treat me like a family member, or even a human. I couldn’t even remember the last time we all spent time together and laughed or smiled. They see me walking into the house crying, and they don’t even ask if im okay or not. Not even a simple “Hi”, it’s like im not even there to them, like im invisible. Though im use to it now, living our separate lives. I usually stay in my room after coming back from Lilly’s. I also try to stuff myself before coming back home from Lilly’s because nobody takes care of me, so I got to take care of myself. I go to Lilly’s house to play games, chat, eat dinner, then do all our work together, and then I go straight back home and sleep because it’s already late. My so called “parents” don’t really care what I do. Every time I go to sleep, and wake up the next morning I always find myself in a different place in my house, I don’t know why, but it doesn’t bother me anymore, so I don’t think about it.
Waking up and going to school isn’t what I want to do, but I do it anyway. I don’t really have any other choice if I want to try to be successful in life; I just have to stay in school and getting decent grades. I go straight to my locker every morning I arrive to school. Nothing really special or surprising about finding foul words written on my locker and having my locker filled with death threats from John’s gang and many other people. I usually don’t pay much attention to it, and just go on with my day hoping the time fly past quick. But something caught my attention in my locker today, a small, bright, red envelope, doesn’t seem like the ugly old school paper I always see, this time it actually looked pretty fancy and clean. As usual, I opened the envelope and read what was inside, in fancy writing was a weird question saying “Do you have any wish?” Pretty weird for me because I don’t usually get these letters, so I chose to keep it and placed it in my bag. I went on with my day at school thinking of the question, and who would put this letter in my locker. It didn’t have anything else written on and in the envelope except for the strange question.
Finally six hours of being in prison have past. Today I didn’t go to Lilly’s house because I didn’t want anyone finding out of the letter, so I went straight home and into my room. For the past hour or so, I’ve been thinking if I actually do have any proper wish. Now if I really think about it, I want this “John” person to disappear from this world because he bullies me every day and hurts me. I want it to stop. So later on that night I was lying down on my bed, and looking out the window, and I found a big, bright star. I looked at it and wished for John to disappear from my life, from this entire world. I didn’t want to see home again. I made my wish and went to sleep hoping my wish would come true, but thinking ahead wishes don’t come true. It was just a trick, wishes never come true.
Like any other morning, I woke up finding myself not in bed, but actually outside my front lawn. That’s weird, my first time waking up outside my house. My body felt kind of sore and I got a few scratches, and bruises. That morning I went to school going straight to my locker, but something was odd. I usually hear John’s gang blasting music at the other end of the hallway, and girls talking about their loved ones, or who they like, but instead there was a group surrounding the TV. Lilly was there. I asked her what was with all this commotion, and she explained to me, that John had died this morning, his parents finding him stabbed to death in his room, and the murderer still hasn’t been found, I panicked and quickly got all my stuff and ran to the janitors room. As the sweat dripping down my head, and tons of thought going through my mind thinking that the wish I made last night came true. I don’t know if it was a coincidence or my wish actually came true. I was completely shocked.
A period and half pasted and I thought about John’s death, and I think that my wish actually came true. I don’t know why but I felt like I now have all the power in the world. That night I paid attention to the sky. It’s unusually for me to find start at night because of where I live, but while I was thinking of my other wish, a star twinkled. I was excited for some reason but I ignored it. I saw the bright star again and made my wish, I wished for the girl named “Britney” to disappear from this world too, just like how John disappeared. I didn’t want to see them both ever again. Britney always made fun of me, and pushed me around thinking I was weak. I’ll prove her wrong. I smiled deviously thinking that Britney will be gone too. Soon enough I fell asleep.
The next morning I woke up outside my lawn again, it was chilly. I quickly ran back inside and got ready for school. Like yesterday morning, my body was sore, and I had a few scratches and bruises. I went to school grinning. I went straight to my locker and I didn’t have a lot of letters today. I smirked. Lilly ran to me asking if I heard of what happen to Britney, I said no, and she explained everything to me. Britney died the same way as john, stabbed to death and was murdered somewhere this morning. Two students died in two days, the news was everywhere at school, and the neighbourhood. Everyone was sad and worried, but not me. I was glad that my wishes came true. I wanted to make one more important wish tonight. I want these specific people gone for sure away from my life. I don’t want to see them ever again, they really hurt me, like everyone else. They don’t care about me. My last wish i want to make.
School was over and I went rushing back home all excited and happy. I walked in the house looking at my parents for my last time, I hope. I finished all my work and made dinner for myself, and doodled in the mean time waiting till night. I was lying down in the bed hearing my parents laughing and drinking, I giggled creepily. Mid night came, and the start twinkled. Tonight the star was larger than usual, and was brighter than usual. I closed my eyes and wished for my horrible parents gone forever; I didn’t want to see them ever again too. They never cared for me or needed me, so clearly I don’t need them. I laughed out loud, and went on my bed saying out loud “Good bye forever.” (Smiling)
The next morning I woke up feeling warm, and I was touching a type of liquid, and my hands were wet. I opened my eyes finding a knife in my hands, and my parents dead on the bed from multiple knife wounds. At that moment all the pieces came together, I was the murderer, and I killed John, and Britney from sleep walking and I killed my own parents. Everything hit me at once, and I screamed. I never thought it was me that was the murderer. I didn’t know what to do so I handed myself in to the police. That morning I was on the news, I killed two teenagers and my own parents.
I now actually live in a prison for my whole life and I have nobody by my side because when Lilly heard about me, she started to avoid me and ignoring me. It’s a terrible feeling. I’m now living behind rusty old silver bars, all alone.
Do you want to make a wish now?
