Le Souhaitez Sur Une Étoile


Comme je l'ai regardé dans le ciel et cherché mon étoile familière, un désir formes dans mon esprit.
«Je souhaite que je pourrais aller à un bal magique, être dans la robe de bal la plus belle, et de trouver mon prince charmant de vivre heureux jusqu'à la fin.»
Par rapport à tous mes souhaits d'autres ce fut égoïste et capricieux, mais il était encore du fond du cœur.
Soudain, mes étoiles souhaitant montent et une lumière brillante tombe vers moi. Au lieu de courir, je ne protéger que mes yeux. Apparemment, si la fin du monde, je vais juste rester immobile. Il est vraiment nulle part où aller, mais que la lumière diminue et sans douleur qui suit, j’abaisse lentement ma main.
Un jeune homme, pas beaucoup plus âgé que moi, se tenait en face de moi. Même dans la nuit, je vois les yeux plus bleus brillant comme un lagon.
Ils ont même brillé comme les étoiles. Je remarque ses cheveux noirs qui était juste assez longtemps pour être balayé par le vent. Il est plus grand que moi que, s'il était plus près, je serais regardant en haut ces yeux. Puis, je vois tout le reste. Un type de masse moyen, mais de toute évidence un certain muscle sous le polo noir et jean slim foncé. C'est l'homme de mes rêves.
«Vous ne pouvez pas être ma marraine fée? » Je laisse échapper.
Il grimace. «Je tiens à dire que je suis votre souhait-mandant.»
«Donc, un génie?» Je dois être à rêver.
Il sourit. «Ce que je sortir d'une lampe?»
J'ouvre ma bouche pour répondre et peut-être poser des questions mais il lève la main. Je ferme ma bouche.
«Nous n'avons pas beaucoup de temps. Je suis ici pour donner votre dernier vœu,» il déclare.
«Quel? Pourquoi cette volonté?» Ce souhait n'était pas celui que je veux accorder. Je déteste balles. Je voulais juste le Prince Charmant et le rêve d'heureux jusqu'à la fin qui est venu avec une balle.
Il hausse les épaules. «Il était le plus facile d'accorder.»
«Grande. J'ai le paresseux souhait-mandant.» Il fusille du moi. Normalement, j'aurais eu peur par cela, mais je me sentais trop énervé par son apparence. Je ris. Cela fait de lui l'éblouissement plus fort.
«Voulez-vous ce souhait ou non?» Il grogne.
Encore une fois que j'ouvre la bouche pour répondre, mais il m'a s'arrête encore.
«Il est trop tard», il déclare.
Puis, avec quelques gestes et quelques mots, je me trouvais à l'extérieur dans la plus étonnante robe de bal bourgogne qui me conviendra parfaitement. Les souliers de satin aussi bon ajustement.
«Quoi, pas de chaussures de verre?» Je sarcastique demander.
«Ce n'est pas Cinderella,» il grogne.
Je suis vraiment bon à obtenir l'irriter. Je ne sais pas pourquoi je dis toutes ces choses
«Faites attention," prévient-il. «La magie n'est que temporaire.»
«Alors, c'est comme Cinderella," Je prends le dos.
Je reçois un autre éblouissement pour ma déclaration et un mouvement de la main qui m'a instantanément transporté. Vous avez des questions pour lui ou les directions de lui sont perdues maintenant que je me tiens en dehors d'un manoir. Il est évident qu'une partie qui se passait à l'intérieur. Je monte les marches. Le portier ouvre la porte. Je suis surpris qu'il ne demande pas une invitation ou mon nom. Il vient de me guide vers la salle de bal. Un autre homme ouvre ces portes pour moi. Je prends une grande respiration et aller à l'intérieur. Je m'arrête. Tout le monde se tourne vers moi.
J'ai soigneusement descendre les quelques marches et se tourner vers la gauche. Un miroir est là. Je ne me reconnais car je suis radieuse. Mes cheveux brune est élégamment mis en place et a brillé. Ma peau était claire des imperfections. Mes lèvres étaient brillantes. Mes yeux étaient brillants et eye-liner et le mascara. La robe avait l'air mieux dans la lumière brillante de la salle de bal.
Je me retourne pour faire face aux gens et debout près de moi, c'était le souhait-mandant. Il avait changé en un tux noir avec un mouchoir dans la poche bourgogne. Je remarque d'abord ses yeux magnifiques étaient fixés sur moi.
«Qu'est-ce que tu fais ici?» Je demande.
«Pour accorder la deuxième moitié de votre souhait,»  il déclaré. «Je suis votre prince charmant."
Merde.

Wish-Granter

Here is a story I came up with for my French class... The french part follows in next post.


As I looked up into the sky and looked for my familiar star, a wish forms in my mind.
“I wish I could go to a magical ball, be in the most beautiful ball gown, and find my prince charming to live happily ever after.”
Compared to all my other wishes this was selfish and whimsical, but it was still heartfelt.
Suddenly, my wishing star blares and a bright light falls towards me. Instead of running, I only shield my eyes. If the world ends, apparently, I’ll just stand still for it. There really is nowhere to run, but as the light fades and no pain follows, I slowly lower my hand.
A young man, not much older than me, stood in front of me. Even in the night, I see the bluest eyes as bright as a warm lagoon. They even shine like the stars. I notice his dark hair that could be black that was just long enough to be windswept. He is taller than me by a few inches that if he was any closer I would be looking up at those eyes. Then I see everything else. A medium body type, but obviously some muscle under the black polo shirt and dark skinny jeans. This is the man from my dreams.
“You can’t be my fairy godmother?” I blurt out.
He cringes. “I like to say I’m your wish-granter.”
“So a genie?” I have to be dreaming again.
He smiles. “Did I look like I came out of a lamp?”
I open my mouth to answer and possibly ask questions but he holds up his hand to stop me.
“We don’t have much time. I’m here to grant your latest wish,” he declares.
“What? Why this wish?” This wish was hardly the one that I would want granted. I hate balls. I just wanted the Prince Charming and the dream of happily ever after that came with a ball.
He shrugs. “It was the easiest to grant”
“Great. I have the lazy wish-granter.” He glares at me. Normally, I would have felt scared by that but I was feeling too flustered by his appearance. I laugh. That made him glare harder.
“Do you want this wish or not?” He growls.
Again I open my mouth to answer but he stops me again.
“It’s too late,” he declares and I sigh. Then with a few hand movements and a few words, I was standing outside in the most stunning burgundy ball gown that fit me perfectly. The satin slippers also fit like a glove.
“What, no glass slippers?” I sarcastically ask.
“This isn’t Cinderella,” he snarls.
I really am good at getting him angry. I don’t know why I am saying all these things.
“Faites Attention,” he warns. “The magic is only temporary.”
“So this is like Cinderella,” I shoot back.
I receive another glare for my statement and a hand motion that has me instantly transported. Any questions for him or directions from him are lost now as I stand outside a mansion. It is obvious that a party was going on inside. I climb the steps. The doorman opens the door. I’m surprised he doesn’t ask for an invitation or my name. He just guides me to the ballroom. Another man opens these doors for me. I take a breath and step inside. I stop. Everyone turns to look at me. I carefully step down the few steps and look to the left. A mirror is there. I hardly recognize myself for I am radiant. My brunette hair is stylishly put up and shone. My skin was clear of imperfections. My lips were glossy. My eyes were bright with only eye-liner and mascara. The gown looked better in the bright light of the ballroom.
I turn back to face the people and standing close to me was the wish-granter. He had changed into a black tux with a burgundy handkerchief in the pocket. I notice first that his hair was not black but a dark brown. His stunning eyes were fixed on me.
“What are you doing here?” I ask.
“To grant the second half of your wish,” he boldly states. “I’m your Prince Charming.”
Merde.

Missing Spring Break

Well I missed my last opportunity for the "Spring Break." Ah well it was over-rated anyways. Here is a short passage from my diary while on my spring break at home.

3.8.3011 I never thought it would be me. I used to look at those poor saps and think, “I will never let that happen to me.” I read in the books how people give up their futures and love to stay with the sick and ailing loved one to give them a longer life or to help in their suffering. In this time and age, The day after I graduate is supposed be my time to get out there on my own and find my place in the world. I am finding that I will be drawn back home to care for my ailing mother. She has physical handicaps; heart palpitations, diabetes and all the things related to that. And her age has given her bad hips and backs. Then on top of that are the mental problems. She is bi-polar to say the least and she must at least be schizophrenic with that. All the combinations of problems make it that she is struggling and not getting by. I fear that if I should let her alone she will not only die she will die alone and in a horrible situation. She can lose the home, her support, her friends, her mind, and eventually her family. I know already that I am alone in holding this sinking ship. My brother has been alienated from her because of her paranoia. On top of that he is the younger sibling and I don’t think it is his turn to be sacrificial. As cliché as that sounds I have the perfect imaginary for the situation. I am in the next boat over with only a few holes and sinking only a little with the small amount of cargo aboard. Then my mother’s boat is next to me not only is it riddled with holes and slowly sinking but the massive amount of clutter in the boat is dragging it down faster. Instead of staying in my own safe boat that has little holds to drown me, I get aboard the second and tie a rope to my own. The holes are debt. The clutter is life and its curveballs. The holes need to be filled in both ships at the same time to save the both of us.
 It's somewhat sad and morose. I believe I was feeling just a tad bit that day. This saturday was fun though and it cheered me up immensely. It was St.Patty's Day and I actually got to party it up like a typical Senior on St.Patty's day. Though I think I enjoyed my Friday better. i just got to hang out with a friend and no drinking was involved.
