3 Wishes don't come true

EDITED BY COZMA

Elizabeth's P.O.V

"Wake up Betty! You will be late for school again!" I heard my dad call me.

"Please dad, just five more minutes!" I managed to plead through the yawns that escaped from my mouth.

"Alright then! But then your brother might finish the cake that your mom made today if you are not coming soon"

'Yes! It worked' I thought, but after my celebration I realized something.

'Wait… cake!' I joyously jumped out of my bed and rushed downstairs as fast as I could. I reached the kitchen and then… I see nothing.

"I fell for it once again!" I say tragically.

"Works every time," My dad, confirming my thoughts, said with a triumphant tone. He made his way to the dining table, joining my mother and brother.

"Well played dad, well played" I muttered going back into my room upstairs.

'I'm already up, I should get ready for school at least' I think before going into the bathroom to shower. After I was done showering, I dressed up., a clean pair of jeans and a really cute top that I got as a Christmas gift, along with a pair of black sneakers made up my attire for today.

I let my hair fall and began brushing it, I didn't want it to be a mess like always. I began making my hair into a ponytail as always but that stopped midway through,

'Let's try something different' I thought with a smile on my lips.

"Betty! The bus will soon be here, hurry up!" I heard my mom shout at me from downstairs and as a response, I picked up my bag and rushed towards her.

"Honey, aren't you forgetting something?" My mother said before getting close to me, extending her hands and giving me the packed lunch I have forgotten.

"Oh yes, thank you, mom!" I thanked her while collecting my lunch from her arms.

"You are also forgetting something else," She said while a not-so-innocent smile appeared on her face. I moved back a little, the smile scared me but that wasn't the only reason I back down, I was trying to remember what I forgot. Just then my brother and my dad came and joined my mom. I took another step back as I realize what they were talking about, but I was too late. My mother caught my hand and I was pulled towards them.

I was tightly hugged while kisses were rendered on my face, my poor, innocent, and newly washed face.

"Bye dear, enjoy your day at school!" My dad said as each of them released me from their grasp.

"I'm sure she will, after all, we all know who's going to be there today," Josh remarked while snickering, barely able to hold his laughter. I smacked him on his arm and shouted goodbye as I left through the front door and headed for the bus stop.

'I hope I haven't missed the bus!' I said as I began rushing forward.

'I hope that Jake isn't there!' I hope with all my heart. I don't want to meet him, not yet. I am not ready to speak with him or even see him in a place without our parents. I hope that I'm the only one at the bus stop as usual.

The person that said wishes come true lied. I just arrived at the bus stop in a hurry and am able to see one specific individual sitting on the bench I always sit on.

I avert my eyes from him and began searching for my phone and after I found it I brought it out, trying not to stare at the handsome, cute, gorgeous boy that my childhood best friend had become.

I thought for a while and finally decided what to do, I decided to text Izzy.

"Hey, you dropped this" I heard someone notify me, I didn't need to turn as I knew who it was but I had to. As I expected, I turned around and my eyes were met by another pair of dark eyes. They looked sad… I stared at them and it felt like there was nothing else around me. It truly sounds cheesy but the sadness that reflected in his eyes as he looked at me, it felt like he could see right through me while I could do the same for him. I wondered if I should ask him if he's alright but I couldn't.

"Aren't you going to collect it?" He asked while struggling to speak while handing me the pen that dropped out of my bag.

"Um... thanks" I quickly got it; I didn't know what to say to him.

We both stood there even after I retrieved the pen, staring at each other in complete and awkward silence. I didn't know why but it felt like he was trying to tell me something but wasn't able to.

The bus arrived and we both got in. I sat at the front; I didn't have a lot of friends to be able to socialize with in the back anyway.

Jake walked over to the back of the bus where he took his seat. I was waiting for the other boys that were around him to say something or embarrass him in some way as they always did, but instead, all they did was a weird handshake while making some space for him to sit… He already had made more friends on his first day than what I've made so far in the number of years that I've spent in this school which was only one.

I've made only one friend and her name was Isabella, or how I call her… Izzy.

The bus arrived after a while and everyone got off including jake.
