__**Wish Upon a Shooting Star**__  When we were children, we would wish upon a shooting star and believe our wish would come true; but as we grow older we start to realize that these wishes will probably not be fulfilled. Even though I knew this, every time I saw a shooting star, I would make a wish. They had never come true before until one night.

Many children wish for the same things like, a pony, to be rich, to be famous and so on. I never wanted any of those; my wish would be the same every time; that I could discover and meet a vampire. I never expected for me personally to meet a vampire, but you can always hope, right?

One summer night in Winnipeg, Manitoba, this night was supposed to be the night that a shooting star would appear. When this happens my family waits on the porch underneath the stars. On this particular night the sky was filled with stars, and you could see the big and little dipper. When the brilliant star shot across the sky we all made our wishes and went inside. I stayed outside a while longer gazing at the stars. That night I felt more hopeful that my wish would come true than other nights. After around ten minutes my mother called me inside to bed.

The next day i woke up and went to school, just like any other day. As I was walking to school I saw something running in the woods, I thought it was nothing and kept walking; a few minutes later I saw it again, and decided to go see what it was. I searched for a few minutes and found nothing. I thought maybe it was just a dog and continued on my way to school.

After school, my mother picked me up and on my way home, I saw something running in the woods, like I did this morning. I yelled for my mother to stop the car. I sprinted into the woods only to find my classmate eating an animal. I asked him what he was doing, he told me not to tell anyone because his life would be ruined; he ran of faster than and creature I have ever seen.

I ran back to the car stunned, my mother asked what had happened. I couldn't tell her what i had just witnessed, my classmate, my close friend, John, ferociously eating an animal. That night I took hours thinking of why he would be doing that, why he was acting so strange. I remembered reading the book Twilight, I thought there was only one possible answer. John was a vampire.

At school the next day, I approached John and demanded to know the truth. I asked him if he was a vampire, and he told me yes. All my dreams had come true, I had personally met a vampire and yet, it was one of my closest friends.

John and I were together all the time the next few weeks, I asked him everything about vampires, there was so much to know. He told me that if I had got on his nerves, one day I could be his meal. I would have to be careful around him. One day we went for a walk in the woods, and he showed me how fast he could run, and how strong he was. It was amazing, he ran around for a minute showing off his speed, it was incredible, unimaginable. We were best friends in no time.

The weeks continued on like this, until one day John was starting to ignore me, I was demanding an answer. He would not tell me what was going on; after several hours of begging he told me that we were becoming to close and he was scared something would happen to me; his family was getting upset, he told me no mortal should know about his kind. I told him I could keep his secret and said he believed i could but his family didn't. I couldn't imagine what they would do.

The next week he told me his family was leaving, it broke my heart, I couldn't believe it. I told him that he could stay while his family left; but he told me it was right for the family, to have a new beginning. It was heart retching to see him go, but I knew as well it was right, so I said my last goodbye to John, and hoped to see him again someday; but for now who knows.
