A Million Wishes

 Chapter 1 

I smile spread across my face as the page began to load. I hadn't played in ages, but walking home from school today the thought of playing Animal Jam had crossed my mind. I'd stopped playing around when my 11th birthday, so around 4 years ago. It just wasn't as interesting or fun as it had been. The page finished loading and my character, a small black rabbit, appeared on the screen. Just as I had remembered.

Hours flew by. It was just so fun revisiting my childhood. I was running around in Mt. Shiveer when a blue and yellow striped tiger appeared by my side, as if out of thin air. Text in a bubble formed over his head.

"Hello there!"

"hi" I typed back.

"I am here to grant you three wishes!" he replied happily.

I snickered. I had forgotten how ridiculous the players could be - since they were, after all, usually small children. "What is your first wish?" he requested. I thought for a moment before replying. "a million wishes!" I smiled to myself as I waited for the reply.

"Your wish, is my command."

 Chapter 2 

The next morning, I woke up and got ready for school. I had all but forgotten about the yellow and blue tiger. Before I left, I glanced at my reflection in my mirror. I sighed and stared at my plain appearance. "I wish I was prettier." I said to my reflection before I walked out of my house.

When I walked into school, I spotted my best friend Stephanie. "Steph!" I called out. She simply hunched her shoulders and shuffled away. I frowned as the bell rang. I'll catch up with her at break, I thought.

However, at break, she was nowhere to be seen. I was walking around the school searching for her when a hand tapped my head. I jumped and turned around to see Josh, Bella, and Todd, some of the stereotypical popular kids. "Hey Clara! What are you doing! We've been looking for you!" said Bella with a flip of her long glossy hair. My eyes widened and I hoped I hadn't upset them in some way or another. I didn't exactly fit in their "group" and while they didn't really bully me, they had been pretty horrible to some other students who crossed them. "You have?" I said nervously. "Uh, yea. We were wondering why you weren't like, with us." Todd replied. "Um... okay?" I said, confused. They began to walk away, and when they saw me still standing there speechless, they gestured for me to follow. All thoughts of Stephanie left my mind as I scampered after them.

When I got home that day, I was positively glowing. I'd had the best day of my life with those kids, and for once school had been a breeze. I passed the mirror again as I headed to my room and backed up when I caught a glimpse of my reflection. My jaw dropped. The plain looking girl from this morning had been replaced by a beautiful stranger. I couldn't believe it. Part of me felt that something was up, but what had happened had been a small miracle and I didn't want it to end. Nobody even really noticed I looked different, so what was the matter? I smiled and skipped to my room to log onto Animal Jam.
