I live in a rainbow.
"She'll never speak or move" said the doctor and went out from the room. It's a lovely spring morning and the air is full of a nice smell of lemons. I am seating in our garden and I'm thinking about the strange things that happened tonight. We were at the doctors room with my mum. My mum was talking to the doctor so long. Then she got angry. "She'll never speak or move" said the doctor and went out from the room... I can't speak and I can't move... I'm sitting on my special chair all the day and I don't do anything. Evreyone looks at me so strange and they don't talk to me. I'm 7 years old and I don't go to school like the normal children. "Normal children". Sometimes I just want to be like others, walk like others, speak like others. There are so many words in my head, but I can't say anithing. And that's annoying me... But sometimes I think, that it's very good to be like this, cause I'm not like others, I have my own world, my own rainbow world. Three years ago, I saw a rainbow first time in my life. I taught that its the best thing in my life. I was thinking about that rainbow a week. And so I decided to create a new rainbow world where I can speak and move. Now, I live there with my friends, who play with me like they play with others. I created a world where I can say words, sentences and I can even tell a story. Sometimes I just sit and dream about my world. I've got 3 friends there. They're so kind and we play football together, tell funny things and laugh. "Wake up, darling' said my mum. 'We're going to the doctor. I just hate doctors. They don't understand me. They just want me to show the blue or green cube and ask me to tell my name. Why don't they understand that I can do all that things? I just need a friend who can talk to me evreytime. But, hey! What was that? 'You have to let her down' said the doctor. 'Well, maybe will' said me mom ' I can't live with her anymore'. I started to cry, but they didn't notice my tears... The rainbow in my head disapeared forever... Will I find it again after this all?

You wake up one morning and discover that you are invisible.
What an embarrasment today! I have never feel this horrible in my life! It just makes me want to dig a hole in the ground and hide there until no one remembers me anymoroe. I just want to feel invisible for just 1 day. Just a single day. I go to sleep and I try to forget about the incident. I think about rainbows, movies and especially books. I love books so much, my friends think I live in a library. Some even think I'm a robot for reading that fast! I take sip of water and think more. The water tasted bitter, but I am too tired to think about it. Eventually, I go to sleep, dreaming about being friends with my favourite book characters, like Beatrice Prior, Katniss Everdeen, Percy Jackson and much more. It felt so real, I started sleep-talking. I wake up in the morning because of my stupid alarm. I don't want to go to school, I'm not in the mood. I want to read a book, but no, the school bus will come soon. I get dressed brush my teeth and eat cereal. I get my backpack ready and head out of my house, already feeling in a good mood. I see the bus coming, so I walk faster to the bus stop. I become even happier when I realize my best friend Kenzie has a free seat next to her. I sit down, but the bus doesn't move. I wait a bit more, but it doesn't even move an inch. I come up to Mr. Beck, who is wearing the same thing as usual. He wears his cap, a striped shirt, his jeans. that already has some coffee spilt on it, and some sneakers. I ask him "when will we move?" He doesn't answer. I ask him again, but a little louder this time. Still no answer. I give up and sit down next to Kenzie again. We've always been besties, since we've read the same books. I ask her if she's reached the 50th chapter of Allegiant. She doesn't answer. I start shouting because no one is listening to me. Everyone ignores me, not even giving a reaction when I start jumping up and down. Suddenly, Kenzie asks "where is Bella?" I get mad and start screaming at her, telling her that I'm here, I'm Bella and I'm here! She still doesn't notice me. Mr. Beck says, "she's late, we better move." I slump onto my seat as we go towards the next stop. Elisabeth Gloss's stop. She's the meanest girl I have ever met. She's selfobnoxious, alway feels like a leader and doesn't care about other people's feelings. We reach her stop and there she is standing in a pink dress with her pink bow. She comes towards me and Kenzie, takes a turn towards me and she starts talking to Kenzie. Apperantly, she can't see me, because she asks why "Bella the Bulldog" isn't here. I get so anxious I stand up to smack her, but my hand goes right through her. I feel spooked. What just happened? While I wonder about it, Elisabeth sit next to Kenzie, right where I was. I ask her patiently to go somewhere else, since that was my place. She can't hear me either. All I can do now is wait 'till school. Finally we get there and I jump out, running towards my teacher. What if all of this was planned? I run faster towards her, so nobody can tell her before I get there. Suddenly, I see her talking with the principal. He's talking about an infection that has been spreaded through the water. People have been going lost, so there is a theory that the people are going invisible. I didn't care at first, but then I realise, they wouldn't have been talking about it in front of me if I was visable. Then I add up everything. The bitter water, when everyone ignored me, when my hand went right though Elisabeth. I am invisable. I start panicking. What if I stay this way forever? What if my family gets worried? I listen to the princaple more and I hear it, the cure. All I need is a spoon of salt, two bananas, an oak tree leaf. I am lucky, because we have an oak tree in the school yard, and a kitchen in the school. I run to get those but there is a woman at the fridge. I hesitat, but then remember that I am invisable. I wait for her to leave, so she won't get suspicous if the fridge door magicaly opens. I see her then take two bananas, a spoon, salt, a bowl. I mix them, but then I realise I've forgotten the hardest part, the oak tree leaf. I reach the yard, where I can see 2 guards. I have to take the leaf without them noticing. I kneel down, so they won't see other bushes moving when I move. I go past them and take a leaf. They hear a noise coming from the tree and start searching. I run past them hoping they won't accidentaly bump into me. I get to the kitchen, mix them together and drink it. It tastes very salty, but I don't care. I run to class, everyone gets scared. I look around, realising it isn't an ordinary lesson. I look to the whiteboard that says TEST TIME. NO NOISE. The teacher asks where I've been I make an exuse, but at least the drink worked. But I feel sad. it would have been better if I was invisible, now that I know there was a test.

I am waiting to see it's a boy or a girl.
-Are you excited? - said my teacher.
-Yes I'm pretty nervous - I answered
-Don't worry.
-Ok
At that moment a paper fall down and the paper was pink. It means it's a girl! And hes name is Ariana.
Ariana is 25 years old. Today was Arianas worst day. Her parents died because of car crash. She can't live. And I don't have enough magic energy to make her happy. I don't know what to do my teacher died many years ago and I can't ask her for advice.
Ariana was coming back from work and she had a bad idea. She wanted to kill herself. She had a best friend Bob. Bob had a secret crush on her. And that day Bob decided to go to her house. He saw her with a knife in her hands and was shocked. He called her to stop and said that he loves her. And said if she have same feelings she need to bring him that knife. She did that.
Now Bob and Ariane get married and they have two kids. There names are Kate and Mike.
And I met Bob's little person and he was a good guy and we get married. But we don't have kids because a little person can't have babys, they are borning from people tears of happiness.
The end.
