My Life as Abby - Ashley Jordan (nice books to read .TXT) 📗

So you all remember me, Abby. So if you remember, I ended up with fireworks coming out of my hands. I also found out N.Y., New Year Baby, was me. So here’s what happened after all that. "You’re me." I said. She smiled. "Yes, I'm you. I have to teach you, well me, how to use our powers." she said happily. I looked at her. She was gesturing for me to come to her. She throw her hand up and a purple fireworks shot from her hand. "How did you do only one color firework?" I asked N.Y. She smiled. "You focus. Now you try.” I looked at my hands. I put my hand in the air and focused on blue. I then heard loud booms and bangs. I looked in the air. There were only blue fireworks. They were beautiful. I smiled. “Good. I have to go, but keep practicing it only takes focus.” She said leaving.

One year later.

I woke up and my parents were always working days on weekends. I ran to my balcony, not caring how I was in pajamas. I pushed my hands forward and multi-colored fireworks shot from my hand. I smiled. I did get control over my powers, so I was excited to practice. I started shooting rapidly at the sky. They were blue, red, yellow, green, orange, and all kinds of other colors. I smiled. I thought about how Disney’s firework shows make characters, objects, and words. I never tried doing any of that. So I gave it a try. What should I try? A person, no, oh, I know. I shot a firework in the air it was green; when it took its form in air it spelled my name. “Awesome!” I yelled to myself. Exactly what I was trying to do. I smiled to myself. My phone rang, so I picked it up. “Hello, it’s Abby.” It was silent for a while then, “Better watch yourself New Year, I know someone we have for you. What was her name? Andy? No. Alex? No. Alice? No what was it? Al…” I stopped listening. N.Y. had walked in my room. “Alyssa?” I asked frightened. He took a few moments and then “Yes, how did you know?” He asked sarcastically,” Oh, right, she’s your sister. Good-bye Abby.” I heard a long beep. I felt tears on my face. N.Y. looked at me and then broke the silence. “He doesn’t have her. She isn’t even in this world.” She said laughing at him. “She’s dead?!” N.Y. looked at me. “No, I forgot to tell you. We come from the fairytale lands; it’s a whole other world. This is the human world.”

“There are other worlds?” N.Y. smiled, “Yes, there are. We are from one of them. He will call you a whole lot.” She smiled. “Well why are you here?” I asked. “It’s your first day of school for this year.” I gasped. I ran to get dressed. I through on jeans, and a plain blue t-shirt. I put my hair in a ponytail, and grabbed my bag. I ran to school. When I walked in Jack was Smirking at me. “You forgot didn’t you?” He was laughing already knowing the answer. “Yes, I was running all the way here.” He busted up laughing. “Shut up!” I turned to Cara, who was running in late too. “Hi Cara.” I said. “Hi Abby, How are you?” I looked at her gasping. “Good, you?” Luckily Jack was laughing at both of us gasping for breath, trying to talk. “Good. Jack, Shut up!” I laughed at him so hard, his face was priceless. I walked to the water fountain and got a sip then came back. The bell rang so we went to class.

So after school I saw Cara and Jack waiting for me to head home. We started walking and just chatted the whole way there. When I got home, that’s when everything started to change and make since at the same time. I was walking with Cara and Jack so he departs us at Maple Street, and Cara lives next door to me. So I walk in the door and I come home to my parents tied up. I walked over to them and there is a note. I pick up the note and my parents start making sounds that might be don’t read it. So I read it, “Abby, Did you have a good day at school? So you know about your powers, now the rest comes out. I hope you enjoy your late sixteenth birthday present.” I untied my parents. “What does that mean?!” I asked panicking he knew about my powers, or at least I thought it was a he. My parents shared a guilty look, “Abby, we told Alyssa this before she disappeared, but we never told you. You both are adopted. The orphanage found you both in the forest. Alyssa was three, or four. She had you in her arms. There were cuts on her arms and legs from rubbing up on the tree’s, and bushes. You were only about a day or two old. They tracked Alyssa’s footprints to determine how long she had been walking. It was about three miles. She was such a mature child. So we had adopted you both, she clearly loved you.” My parents were talking turns saying all of this. I felt tears on my face. “Did you know?” I asked realizing it was nonsense. “Know what Abby?” my Dad asked me. Well what I thought was my Dad. “Did you know I could do this?” I shot a flaming red firework up at the ceiling. My parent’s mouths dropped, they clearly never knew.

I ran to my bedroom. I couldn’t take it, just standing there in silence. I locked my door to my room. I ran to the balcony and sat there. I was crying for about an hour. I heard my phone beeping I had just hung up on someone, the call was twenty minutes. I then got a call. “Hello?” I didn’t know who it was until, “Hello Abby, You know everything you need to know. Now you can go.” He said annoyingly. “What do you mean? I am not going anywhere!” I felt anger boiling in me. I wanted so bad to hit him as hard as I could. I then heard a long Beep. I through the phone at the wall in my bedroom, it didn’t break, but it made a long sound. I went in my room, lay on my bed, and cried myself to sleep.

I got to school the next day and everyone was so loud. I got to my locker and Jack was waiting there. “Hi Jack.” I say as he looks at me as if for a sign. “Jack what’s up?” I ask him kind of nervous. “Are you ok?” He asks me. I look at him puzzled. “Abby you pocket dialed me. I heard a lot of what happened last night. Are you ok?” I look at the floor. “Oh, you heard that?” I asked like a whisper. “Yes I did.” He whispered back. Cara comes around the corner of the hall yelling, “Hi, guess what? Guess what’s new?” Under my breath I say, “Apparently everything.” Jack places a hand on my shoulder and whispers. “I promise I won’t tell anyone. You’ll be ok.” He said it so reassuringly. I turned to Cara. “What’s new?” I ask her. She smiles widely. “Guess who won for class president, instead of Vanessa?” I look at her surprised. “You ran for president?” I asked surprised. She never really liked that sort of stuff. “Nope, you did! I signed you up, and you won!” I started choking on air. “What?” Cara started jumping up and down. “You won against Vanessa!” Oh, so those of you who don’t know Vanessa. You don’t want to. She is really mean and doesn’t like me. She jumped a soda on me once, it was embarrassing.

“Cara, why did you sign me up for that?” I asked panicking. I can see it now as a head line in our school newspaper. “Vanessa rips Abby’s head off” I can see it. “You won one hundred and ten votes to none! Abby that’s everyone except you! You need to go vote.” “Oh, wow, Abby congrats.” Jack said smiling. I was going to die. They are teaming up against me. “No, no, no, you both can’t team up on me on this. Come on. I didn’t even want to do this.” I begged them. I dropped my stuff and got on my knees. “Please, don’t make me do this.” I begged some more. They looked at each other and smiled. “Never!” They said together. Jack grabbed my arms and Cara grabbed my legs. They started carrying me off to vote. I tried to get free, but nope. They wouldn’t let me.

After they forced me to vote I was so ready for class to start. Then I opened my locker. Jack, Cara, and I all ended up in some field. We all got up and were looking around for people. We saw unicorns, fairies, and so much more. I looked for a way back to school. “Abby your locker is over there.” Cara said. “Let’s go!” I say. Cara goes through, then Jack, and I try but I am shot back. I blacked out. I woke up and Jack was with me. “Where’s Cara?” He looks to the locker. “She was scared and ran, but I am not leaving you here.” He helped me up. “Where is here?” I asked openly.

“You’re in Fairytale lands.” I turn to see N.Y. “How did you get here?” I asked upset she never took me. “I can’t change time, you have to do it how I did, by myself.” I was upset. Then she was gone. “Where do we go?” I asked Jack. He was looking at something behind us. I turned it was a wolf. We ran through the forest. We dodged trees, and bushes. We hid behind some trees when some people grabbed us. They blind folded us. The pushed us through the forest, and around bushes. When they removed the blind folds we were at some camp.

There were fairies, dragons, griffins, phoenixes, princesses, princes, villagers, and hunters. It was so amazing. “Hello welcome to my camp. That wolf almost had you. You remind me of a girl who ran from a wolf to. She ended up coming here to train. Such a nice girl. My names Jameson Wolf, call me Jamie for short. What are your names?” I looked at Jack. “My name is Jack Blake.” He shook Jamie’s hand. “My name is Abby Darling.” I said, as we shook hands. “That was the girl’s last name. Alyssa Darling. You know her.” I could feel pressure from Jack starring. “She is my sister.” I answered. Jack’s jaw dropped. “You have a sister?!” He yelled. “Yes.” I whispered looking away from him.

We walked over to a tree. “She disappeared two years ago. She
