Mandy had always believed if you wished on a shooting star that your wish would come true. She made her wish and went to bed. She figured she was finally ready for her exam in the morning. That and she had enough studying for the night. She fell asleep quickly so she was able to get a few hours of sleep.
Mandy woke up feeling groggy. She kicked off her blanket, swung her legs over to the side of her bed and went to get up. Being so short her feet hung in the air. Mandy was about to get up when she looked at her clock.
It read twelve o'clock!
She must have forgotten to set her alarm! She was super late now as her test started at nine o'clock sharp! She figured she may be able to get another chance to take the test if she explains to her professor what happened.
Mandy got out of bed, then got dressed. She didn't worry about having her shower or anything. Then she rushed to her class. Class was over, but she figured her professor would be around still. When she got there the door was locked.
“Oh no!” Mandy thought. “He's not here! I'll have to wait until Monday now!”
Mandy already missed this test once before. Her professor offered her a retest, but could only give it to her on Saturday. Mandy didn't mind, as she didn't do anything except study on the weekends anyway.
Now she had missed her chance!
She hoped that his professor would understand and give her a second retest. Mandy went back to her room and figured she should now try and enjoy the weekend. She was so sick of studying from last night. It looked like her roommates were still sleeping from their drunk-fest last night. Mandy lay on her bed thinking about her wish last night.
