Fireflies

Chapter 2

Chapter 2

‘You would not believe your eyes

If ten million fireflies

Lit up the world as I fell asleep

'Cause they'd fill the open air

And leave tear drops everywhere

You'd think me rude

But I would just stand and stare’

I picked the jar up ,walked outside and let the fireflies go ,I was kind of sad ,but they belong in the wild .It was odd, strange ,mysterious ,but I am intrigued by this .I wanted to fall asleep again ,to see if it would happen again.

I took of my pajamas and put my hair in a bun .I walked into the breakfast area, and yes everyone was looking at the girl who fell in horse poop, but I didn’t care. In fact I was bewildered by the fact that no one was pointing or laughing, but I liked it better that way. I ate my deformed waffle and went off to the ‘art station”, and I don’t mean to brag but I’m quite talented at drawing ,I spent like 2 hours drawing ,drawing fireflies ,I had that dream ,no it wasn’t a dream .I had that memory stuck in my head the while time .I wonder if it really happened ,I just know it did. I don’t know what got into me but I threw paint at her ,at her face ,in rage she grabbed a bucket of paint and she threw it at me .Of course a paint war began, and I was proud of myself because this had defiantly made my day. She was in rage, a boy came up to her and actually ripped of her weave, whoa. Okay, I sort of feel bad for her, but at least I have real hair .Of course this continued for quite a while, and everyone was having a good time .Hopefully this would leave me to the road to popularity.

"I wish that I could be like the cool kids,

'Cause all the cool kids, they seem to fit in.

I wish that I could be like the cool kids, like the cool kids.

I wish that I could be like the cool kids,

'Cause all the cool kids, they seem to get it.

I wish that I could be like the cool kids, like the cool kids."

Then, the short man came and asked who started this, and well everyone pointed towards me and I was on my way to the ‘office’, whoa, I am so scared. I walked in and it looked like a torture room, and I was scared, but for reals this time.

He sat down

“Hello dear, I would like to ask what you were doing today, I would appreciate and honest answer, “he said sophisticatedly

“oh,” I said “well, I mean, today sir , today I was drawing a beautiful drawing ,and I accidently ,dropped some paint on this girl, but it was an accident .Yeah, and she thought that I did it on purpose and she threw paint at me ,and everyone else threw paint too,”

“Okay,” he said “you are dismissed

I walked out, well I guess that didn’t go so bad .I’m actually pretty grateful that my parents sent me to this cruddy place .Everyone came running towards me ,like if they wanted my autograph or something ,and I said “everything’s fine you ,guys ,everything’s ,cool. I walked all cool towards the cafeteria and I ate another deformed waffle and I looked at the clock and I saw that it was 8:20 ,oh snap I need to go .

I went to my cabin, still no sight of my roommate, she probably thought I was weird or something .But, that’s cool, we cool, everything’s coo’. I fell asleep and I made sure to have the song playing on my iPod, and I left the door open just a crack, just in case they wanted to come in.

‘I'd like to make myself believe

That planet Earth turns slowly

It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep

Because my dreams are bursting at the seams’

I opened the door yes there they were, just like yesterday, but better. This time they were all different colors, I wish I could show everyone .I thought it was amazing, I couldn’t help but stand and stare. I looked at my clothes and saw I was wearing a dress, a white one laced with gold, I noticed I also had a crown .Apparently I was now the queen of the fireflies, yay.

They began teaching me how to dance and they began just where they left off last time. When it was time for them to go they left teardrops everywhere and with those teardrops my dress disappeared, and there I was, with my pajamas on.

Of course every good thing comes to an end ,and I finally woke up ,and with a shriek I saw the dress, the dress laced with gold on my bed ,and I also saw that jar once again filled with fireflies .Okay, was I being pranked or something ,I hope not .I actually wish this was really happening .

I looked at the clock and it was barely 6:36, so I decided to write an email for my parents

 

Dear Mom and Dad,

So in here ,at camp right now ,and is actually pretty cool here ,I fell in horse poop ,in front of everyone ,yeah that was fun (sarcasm).And I got stuck in this ghetto cabin ,but that awesome (sarcasm),and I had a roommate but I don’t know what happened to her .I need to tell you guys something ….

Okay, so when I fall asleep at night I dream of fireflies, and I dreamt of keeping some in a jar and when I woke up I found a jar with fireflies near my bed, and just last night I had another dream and I was the firefly queen, and I had this dress, and the dress appeared on my bed too.

And I just wanted to say that I’m still mad at you guys for not taking me to Hawaii with you guys.

          -sincerely, Elizabeth

They soon replied

 

Dear Elizabeth,

We’re glad you’re having a good time we really can’t talk right now and we’re sorry for not taking you .We hope you have fun,

                         -With love, Mom and Dad

 

Dear Mom and Dad,

Okay then, I hope you guys enjoy your time over there .I certainly wont enjoy my time here, and it’s only been like 4 days.

                       -sincerely, Elizabeth

Ps. when you guys come back from Hawaii can you pick me up from here, because I hate this place with a strong passion?

They didn’t answer back I hope they can answer tomorrow because I’ll die if I stay any longer.
