Three Wishes
Chapter One (Part
Two)
He was so stupid.
I wasn't the only one who knew this would go downhill. Diana
would say something pathetic like he forced himself on her. Who
would believe Jay over Diana?
He would come running back to me, hoping that I would comfort
him. Fair enough, he liked her. He didn't have to kiss her
though!
I stormed out of the block. I bumped into Jessica, one of my
friends.
"Hey Summer," she grinned. Her smile turned to a frown
when she saw my expression. "What's up?"
I debated whether to tell her. It would get out anyway but it was
between them, really.
"It...doesn't matter," I sighed. "Look, I need
to get to tutor. See you in Maths."
I brushed past her, not looking back. I walked across the
courtyard, dodging other pupils, and entered Apple block. There
were already some people waiting outside my tutor room, ready to
go in. It was always the same people - Adam Brookes, Charlie
Cassidy and Ashley Thomas.
"Hey Summer," Charlie said, picking his backpack up and
slinging it on his shoulder.
"Hi," I said, barely paying any attention to him. The
bell rang, making me jump. More people came and joined the line,
waiting to go into the room for registration.
"Summer!" a familiar voice squealed. I turned to see
Allie throw herself at me.
"Hey," I smiled, hugging her. Her wild brown hair
tickled my face, her chocolate-coloured skin radiant. She was
hyper - as usual.
"Where's Jay?" she asked, confused. She was used to
seeing us joined to the hip: we were hardly ever apart. I
shrugged in reply to her question and she raised her eyebrows but
didn't say anything.
Finally, our tutor rushed over to us and unlocked the door to let
everyone in. Mrs Ramirez took her seat at the front of the room,
at her desk.
"Everyone sit down, please," she said, as we filed into
the room that was used for English lessons. I sat down near the
back of the room, next to Allie.
Mrs Ramirez started registration as soon as the room was almost
silent. She reeled off names, and most of them gave a reply when
called.
When she finished, she said, "Okay, now you can all talk for
the next ten minutes."
I slipped my phone out of my bag and hid it under the table. I
stuck my headphones into the sleek black phone and shoved one in
my ear, hiding the wire with my hair and the hat I still had on
my head. Mrs Ramirez didn't bother telling me to take it
off.
As I was scrolling through my songs, an image popped up onto the
screen and a blonde girl started talking.
"Hello, Summer. I'm Genia and I've been told to give
you three wishes. Meet me behind Blueberry block at break and
I'll speak to you properly then. Don't tell anyone. Not
Jay or Allie. No-one. Okay?" she said, calmly.
"Okay," I whispered. Allie looked at me when I
spoke.
"Huh?" she asked.
"I was talk- I mean, I was listening to a song," I
smiled, hastily. She gave me a strange look but turned around
without another word to carry on with her conversation with
Julia.
"Good girl," Genia said, and the screen flashed off, my
list of songs appearing again.
I was confused.
Really confused.
I just had to wait until break.
