Untitled story by Jessie Caceres


I stared at the swirled figure in my hand. My hands gripped over it as my fingers slid across its smooth edges, feeling every bump and curve. I gazed at the dragon shaped necklace, suddenly feeling sharp in my palm. Its wings spread apart as if ready to take off. Its body in an upward position, like a cobra ready to attack. My fingers came across the scales at the top of its head, then its razor sharp teeth that seemed to be made for hunting. My fingertips continued to follow its shape as I put the necklace around my neck and tied the string. I looked at myself in the mirror, never once glancing at my own appearance, only gazing at the creature that hung from my neck in admiration. A sudden vibration erupted I my from my jacket pocket, taking me out of my deep trance. I looked at my phone and quickly realized it was a text message. My heart somersaulted in my chest as I prepared myself to read the message.

Hey Angela. Im going to be late today so dont wait up I sighed as I read the message quietly to myself. I took a deep a breath and wrote in my reply. Alright mom, Ill save you some pizza. I snapped my phone shut and plopped myself on my bed, staring at the ceiling. I thought it was him. The him that sent me to the stars ad back with the 3 most beautiful words. The him that had a smile that could brighten up any room, no matter what the mood. The him that was sweet and kind. The him that begged to know of every thought that ran through my mind each day. That him. The him that went by the name of Jacob.

THE END
