Looking for a DVD he’d misplaced, Kevin was snooping around his sister’s room to see if she’d taken it. A gold ring on her dresser caught his eye. He picked it up and noticed words engraved on the outside; upon close examination, he read, “Make a Wish.”
He chuckled a bit as he put the ring on, not noticing that it magically resized itself for his finger. “You want me to make a wish?” he said as if talking to the ring. He thought a second, and being a typical 17-year-old boy, one of the hottest girls in school crossed his mind, along with some electronics he wanted. So he said, “Okay, I wish I could find my missing DVD because it was being watched in my room on a big-screen TV and Blu-Ray player by Laura Chu, who’s my girlfriend and is lying on my bed wearing her cheerleading outfit.”
Kevin happened to move his hand just as the ring sparkled, so he thought it was just a reflection of the light. “Yeah, right,” he said, taking the ring off his finger and putting it back in the spot where Cassandra had left it. Deciding his DVD wasn’t here, he left her room and went back to his to take another look around.
Two steps from his door, he heard a movie playing. He froze when he got to the door and could see inside -- there was a TV attached to the wall above his dresser, taking the place of a couple of his posters. It was showing the movie “The House Bunny,” the very DVD he was looking for.
”Hey, where’d you go?” said a girl’s voice from the other side of the room. He turned his head. There he saw the impossible -- the beautiful Laura Chu, wearing the red-and- black sweater and skirt of their high school’s cheerleading uniform, her long black hair tied in two pigtails with red ribbons, lying on his bed propped up by two pillows. She patted the bed next to her. “Are you gonna watch? I thought you liked this movie.”
Since Kevin was firmly in the “geek” social circle, he’d always seen this gorgeous, exotic-looking girl as completely unobtainable, so the scene before his eyes was like a fantasy come to life.
