The Wishing Star - Emma Beswetherick
To everyone else it was an ordinary morning on an ordinary Tuesday. Throughout the town, children were waking up, eating breakfast, and getting ready for school without giving much thought to the day ahead. But for Katy, today was anything but ordinary. As she charged from her bedroom—long hair a mess, uniform on crooked, school bag spilling out books, and pens—Katy couldn’t decide if she was nervous or excited. She was nervous-cited—that’s what she was! Her very new best friends were coming for their first ever playdate, to her house after school, and now it was almost here she felt just about ready to pop!
Dad, do you think Cassandra and Zia will like coming to our house?
she asked from the kitchen table, as she hurried down spoonfuls of honey-coated cereal.
Of course! Who wouldn’t?!
He smiled.
Katy grinned. She didn’t have any brothers and sisters and only lived with her dad, who always had a knack of knowing what to say.
While her dad tugged her dark blonde hair into a high ponytail, Katy brushed her teeth as quickly as she could get away with. Then she rushed into the hall to put on her school shoes, tripping over an enormous cat lying in the doorway.
Thunder! Why do you always have to lie in my way?!
she giggled, heaving him into her arms and nuzzling his soft fur. My friends are going to love you,
she continued, as she plopped him down on the floor behind her and blew him a kiss goodbye.
Thunder was Katy’s one-eyed rescue cat. He was huge, incredibly fluffy, with a white tummy, a gray face, paws, and tail. Apart from Cassandra and Zia, he was Katy’s absolute best friend in the world.
"Come on, Dad, let’s go!" she shouted, as she opened the front door and the cold morning air filled the narrow hallway. Katy shivered.
Coming, coming,
Dad laughed as he whipped his coat from the hook and followed his daughter out of the front door.
It’s today!, Katy said to herself, feeling butterflies fluttering inside her tummy as she walked to school. Katy was new to her class at Bishop’s Park Primary and, as she’d discovered at the start of term, this was not an easy thing to be. All the other girls had groups of friends already, so when Cassandra and Zia had asked her to play with them, she’d wanted to hold on to their friendship as tightly as she could. Now, even though it felt as if she’d known the girls for ever—which is why she felt cartwheels-in-the-air excited about today—she was also just a teensy bit nervous.
