3:30 struck and everyone was rushing about. My friend Fernando and a few others decided to buy me a drink to celebrate my good fortune. I said, “no, I’m really tired, I think I’ll just head on home.” “I don’t think so,” said Fernando “I’ve had enough of you being so boring and you are coming and that’s that!”
As I approached the pub – “Mystique” I saw all the couples going in. It was an exquisite night. Millions of stars were sparkling and there wasn’t a cloud in sight. The road glistened beneath the moonlight mist. It was a warm atmosphere however it was quite cold. I entered the pub and everyone was already there. P. Niss, Will Lee, Bu B and Aiimar-Homer Seck Shual. They are the sweetest people ever as they had ordered champagne and even bought a little cake. We drank, chatted, played pool, drank, danced and drank some more. I started to feel woozy. I could hear myself laughing but I was numb all over. The whole world started spinning faster and I was falling down an endless hole, everything was dark. I felt the wind rushing as I fell, I cried out but no sound came out.
I woke up in my bed and my head was aching. I glanced around and I was in a mysterious room. It was small and painted blue all over. Robins were singing on the windowsill. I saw a mysterious man standing quite still. He was tall, olive skinned, jet black long hair and dark eyes, which sent a shiver, down my spine. I was in awe of him yet I felt no fear. I finally muttered “who-who are you? Where am I?” all he said was “Come” in a foreign accent. For some reason I took his hand and went with him. As we walked I beheld the strangest sight, cobbled streets with little dome houses and huge cliffs with castles. At one end the castles were bright with soldiers around it, while at the other end a dark, gloomy looking castle, which gave off bad vibes. The people looked pretty normal apart from their clothes. They looked like they were at a Halloween party. I almost expected to see a horse and carriage go past but the next second a man dressed as Merlin went whizzing past in a Saab convertible. As we went past the people, they moved away and started whispering. All I could think was I hope Fernando and the gang didn’t send me off to come country while I blacked out. I could not make out the time as my watch had stopped.
We went into one of the bright castles; I followed the man with his long black coat flowing behind him. All the while my head was throbbing, I touched it and we came to a sudden halt. We were in a small peculiar room, but somehow it managed to hold many books and an odd computer in the middle. The man turned round and gave me a cup and said “Drink it, it will do good for the pain.” I drank as I was in too much pain to argue. He then explained where I was, just as I was about to ask him. He seemed psychic. He told me the strangest story ever. Apparently he was some sort of wizard and I had made a wish and he was going to grant it for me but I had to do something in return. I started laughing, I must be dreaming but I couldn’t wake up so I decided to play along with it. I had to do a task before ii could be ‘granted my wish’. He gave me an unbelievable task. I had to organise all the books in the rooms, which were spells and prophecies into the weird computer. Apparently the witches and wizards community were fed up with the old dusty books which were falling apart. They were getting ready for the millennium. Well that explained the Merlin look-alike in the Saab. Surprisingly me head was clear and I got to work. I don’t know how long I worked for but I was soon finished. The man reappeared I said “Okay mate, so grant me my wish. He takes out an apple and tells me to make Anna take a bite and she would love me and no-body else. Saying this, he started to become blurry and everything started to spin.
I woke up in my room, “It was just a dream. Witches and computers, that’s a first!” I stared to get ready and I saw a rosy red apple on my pillow. “It was real.” I smiled as I got ready then I began to walk to school.
Everything was normal and the day went by. Around lunchtime someone came up behind me and said, “I love your new haircut.” My heart stopped. It was that unmistakable voice. I turned round and she was standing there. “You should always get your hair cut like that.” I blushed helplessly and she said sorry I could not come, but would you like to have some lunch now?” I started nodding feeling like a fool. I though I hadn’t given her the apple yet, what’s going on? We had lunch and spent the afternoon together, as we just happened to have the afternoon off. She told me about her life and ambitions and I could not believe how much we had in common. Then she said, “I’m in love, I have liked this guy for ages.” I was so angry. I thought I should just give him the apple and she will forget the guy. My emotions were like the Blackpool roller coaster. I began to take out the apple, but I couldn’t do it. She was too sweet, and this was not love. I said “Excuse me” and left. It was evening and was raining heavily, but I didn’t care. Tears were streaming down my face as I walked home. I was so engrossed in my sorrow I did not hear someone behind me until I felt a tug on my arm and I stopped. It was her, she looked angry. “You are so stupid,” she said. I retorted angrily. “Don’t you see, I was talking about you, I have liked you for so long but you don’t say anything and I got tired of waiting”. She put her hand on my face, I could not believe it. “It’s you I love, I know you feel it too” and saying this we kissed and I knew everything would be okay. She took my hand and we walked hand in hand as I threw away the apple. I don’t know if this was ‘happily ever after’ but I was looking forward to finding out.
