Name: Kylee
Prompt:
No matter how late it is into the night, you will catch Kylee under the old tree planted in the backyard. That tree has been there for her in every big moment of her life. Every night before something big in Kylee's life happens, a bright shooting star will graze the sky right above her wishing tree.
Pop and Kylee dug the small hole to plant a little acorn that the squirrels had spared. Kylee saw it as a mini miracle. She has always been obsessed with life's little miracles like how sweet a mother lamb is to her newborn kid or how the birds sing in the morning to wake you up to something pleasant. Pop was not a soft man but for Kylee, he wanted to be her everything because she was his. Kylee's Ma was not someone she remembered well due to her unfortunate passing when she was but a baby. Pop always told Kylee growing up that she was the light in the world her Ma left behind. Kylee makes sure to carry those words to heart and will always try to be the mini miracle in others' lives.
The first miracle happened when Kylee was only 7. Pop was out chopping wood late at night because the supply had run low. Kylee, not wanting Pop to be outside all by himself, decided to join him and sat on the ground right under the baby tree. The tree had a very small trunk so you couldn't lean on it. As Kylee sat and looked around at all the wilderness that surrounded their small house she felt a small wind blow on her neck. She shivered a little then looked up to the sky. Right as her eyes met the sky, a twinkle shone so bright. With a purple and white tail, and shooting star lit up the night sky and disappeared as fast as it appeared. As she sat there in amazement, Pop finished chopping and he led them inside. Kylee would pet the tiny tree in the morning before her chores for good luck. No more than five feet away from the tree was a small kitten curled up and alone. Kylee looked around for the barn cats that roamed their property but she couldn't see any kitties anywhere so with the softest hands, Kylee picked up the small kitten and carried her inside for food, water, and warmth. This small kitten grew to love Kylee and Kylee had made a best friend for life. The two became inseparable.
The next miracle happened when Kylee was 10. Kylee wasn't able to make many friends in school. She always tried her best to be nice to everyone but it was to no avail. She was thankful for Kitty at home but she couldn't bring Kitty to school because "Kitty is a cat and cats don't need to learn" as Pop said. After a very hard day at school where she had to eat lunch alone once again, Kylee snuck out of her room late at night. She remembered how wonderful the wishing tree was to her when it brought her Kitty, so maybe it would grant her a friend. Someone to play with on the playground and to share silly jokes with. As Kylee stared at the sky, she started to cry and thought to herself, "Why am I telling my wishes to a tree?" Her head fell into her hands as tears rolled down her face. A small leaf dropped from the tree to perfectly tap Kylee on the shoulder. As soon as she lifted her head, the same purple and white streak danced across the sky. She smiled and wiped her tears and hugged the tree. On the bus the next day, Kylee noticed a new girl was riding into school with them. She smiled and the other girl noticed and walked nervously towards Kylee. The two bonded instantly. From that day on, Kylee and Jenie were together all the time. As time went on the two fell in love with each other and realized they loved each other as more than friends.
Kylee can't wait till the next miracle from her wishing tree.
