My Wishes

A book that can change a life.( I am not finished with this chapter yet....)

Chapter   1

                          The Book 

    “Taylor!!!!!!”  My Mom had yelled like I just took a bat to the window. “Taylor!!!” “I’m coming!!!” I yelled with all the attitude I had. “What!” I yelled running down the steps.

      She looks at me like she is putting a dagger through my back. “You didn’t pick up your sister from school!!??” “Oh crap that’s what I forgot; sorry I’ll go get her now.” I reach for my keys but my mom grabs my arm and  said “She walked here she’s in the mud room drying off.”

      I looked out the window and all I can see is pouring rain. Then before I can say anything my mom tells me “You have to go drive her to the library she needs the computers and some books for a project, you could check out a few books too. 

 So of course I ended up taking her to the library. I had to constantly look back at her and make sure she isn’t gone or something.   

 My mom would kill me if I lost her. I walked around the shelves that were around the computers and only found one book, but   I didn’t planning on getting it I just wanted to point out that there was a brown dirty book all alone on an empty shelf with no title. I looked at it there was no writing at all except for little writing on the back at the bottom.

 I picked it up and just kept it with me until she was done with the computer.

 About 2 hours and 300 texts from my mom making sure we were okay she finally finished. I made her wait so I could ask about the book but as soon as the librarian saw it she told me I could keep it. And of course I did.

  Once we got home I ran straight to my room and start reading. I laid down on my bed and opened it up just to find ……… nothing. It was empty, no words, no title, no author, no nothing. I shut it threw it across the room and went downstairs for dinner.

    During dinner I asked my mom if I could go over to my friend’s house. She ignored me for a few minutes and then said “whatever”. I ran upstairs and through some clothes into a bag and grabbed the book and my keys.

   I drove down to her house and showed her the book. We both agreed that there was nothing weird about the book it was just a sketch book that someone left there. We stayed in her room all night to watch movies and completely passed out at 4 AM.

   I went home the next morning and went to draw in the sketch book, sometimes I whisper to myself, and I said “I wish I had some better art supplies” and at that second the book flew out of my hands and I slammed my back against the wall. The book started spinning glowing making pillows, papers, books, and more loose things all around my room I felt like I was going to get sucked in.

 And then all of a sudden the glowing stopped, the book dropped and so did everything else.

                             “Taylor!!!!!”

 

        My mom called me down again “Taylor!!” I figured she was calling me about all the noise but she didn’t here it - no one did. Not even my dog who was laying out my door.

   I came down the steps and my mom said someone was here for me. Although I was confused I went to the front door, but no one was there. I looked down and there was a box with my name on it.

  I took it up to my room, scared to open it after what happened with the book. I came up to my room only to find that the book that was left lying on the floor with the papers all ripped out was up on my desk all of the papers attached.

  I slowly walked over toward the book and opened it completely freaked out when I saw the words, “better art supplies” written there. I threw the book back and looked down at the box. I sat on my bed and slowly opened the box.

   Only to find art supplies. I dumped it out looking through the stuff. There was charcoal, oil clay, paints, and other things.

   I picked back up the book and opened it back up and looked inside and there was more writing.

It said:  Taylor Reys wishes-

1^st wish -Better art supplies

 2^nd wish-not said

    I then opened the book again and wished for a sundae just to see what would happen. And what happened was…..the same exact thing, it flew out of my hand and started to glow and spin. And the book landed on the ground open and then started to smoke! I almost screamed until all the smoke went away and there left on the book was a sundae.

     I got up and moved the sundae off the book and set it on the floor. I picked up the book and opened it and sure enough it had more writing

     Taylor Reys wishes-

1st wish: Better art supplies

2nd wish: A sundae

      Of course I ate the sundae and then instantly grabbed my keys and drove over to my friend’s house with the book.  I got there and the first thing I said was “It’s not a sketch book” She looked confused and said “What do you mean?” We went up to her room and I showed her the book and the writing and I made a wish.

    She was not scared she was excited we sat in her room just talking about the book.

 “This is extraordinary. I mean this is an amazing find. It knew your name and keeps lists of your wishes. And you said that you found this book at a library.”

Victoria said (she’s my friend)

I respond in shock “Well yeah but aren’t you freaked out at all?”

  “No I am interested….. How would you like to help me with some research?

I chuckle and say “sure.”

   We went down to her basement where her computer is. We went down and searched the little writing on the back of the book, she typed in: 105689RMsh6892508 wish book. We mainly typed this in just to play around, we didn’t expect anything to show up but…….. there was like 300 responses.

  Almost all of them said the same thing:                BE CAREFULL IT COULD RUIN YOUR LIFE!!!!!                 We both were kind of confused and freaked out that there was nothing else on anything.                          

  We felt like we were being punked even though we weren’t famous. I left her house and drove back home knowing that I had school in the morning I hurried home. I got home around 9:00 P.M. and ate a bowl of ice cream. I got a shower and went up to my room. I just stared at the book in my hands while I was lying on my bed. And then I wondered….. Is there a limit on my wishes? Are they unlimited? Do I only get a few? How long will it last?

  All of those questions will soon be answered. I turn out my light and set the book down next to it but I didn’t sleep I just laid in my bed thinking about everything that happened if I should share this with anyone but even though I was up with my mind wondering I eventually fell asleep after an…. hour.

  That morning I got up at 5:32 A.M. and got ready for school. I got on the bus and I went to seat 19, I sat there alone (because I asked for no one to sit by me in the morning) and I looked at the book
