text: Once upon a time, there was a girl named Jenny. She was a very beautiful girl. She lived with her father, who worked two jobs just to keep her comfortable. Jenny loved her father very much especially when he brought her toys. When it was time for Jenny to go to school, her father sent her to a private school in their village. Jenny was so happy that time since she was going to the best school. With Jenny's happy attitude, she quickly made friends in her school, in fact, so quick that she haven't even met her teachers yet. The class started and Jenny and her classmates introduced themselves. During Jenny's introduction, all of her classmates were delighted to see her smile. Some of them even shouted that they found their class muse already. Jenny was flattered and was very happy to be well-welcomed. As the introductions finished, the teacher gave school requirements for the students. Jenny was shocked to see the amount of notebooks and other things she must have to buy to complete the whole academic year. She was worried that her dad might not have enough money to buy all the requirements. After last period, Jenny walked with her friends outside of school and noticed her father waiting for her. He called out to her and Jenny rushes to his side. Her father was riding a bicycle and told Jenny to hop on so that they can go home together. She agreed and said goodbye to her friends. All of her friends were surprised of how Jenny was riding her dad's bicycle instead of a car but shrugged it off their shoulders and went home soon after. At home, Jenny showed her father the list of requirements. Her father looked down and took a long breath. He calmly said to Jenny that it may take some time for him to buy all those school items. Jenny understood their situation well enough and reassured her father that it was okay. Her father smiled and hugged Jenny that night. Jenny woke up early the next morning and excitedly prepared herself for another day at school. She kissed her father goodbye and went to school. She saw her friends and greeted them then walked together to the classroom. Her friends started showing their new notebooks and bragged about their cool designs. Jenny suddenly felt out of place because she doesn't have a single notebook with her. One of her friends asked her where her notebooks were and she hesitantly said she does not have one. They smiled a little bit and asked why. She looked down and said that they don't have the money right now. One of her classmates jokingly said that she should sell her old and ugly bicycle to buy notebooks and everyone burst into laughter. Jenny kept her head low all day, until it was time to go home. Jenny didn't wait for her father to pick her up from school, she just went home by herself. The dinner of Jenny and her father was silent. She didn't tell her father what happened to school that day and just said she was fine. As Jenny was taking the trash out, she saw a black notebook with pink-colored text. She grabbed the notebook and saw that the text spelled out as Genie. She immediately fell in love with the design of the notebook and its expensive looks. She scanned the notebook to see if all pages were already used but to her surprise, only one page had text on it. She noticed it was a poem and she read it. "Write your wish,Your hope, your desire;Then behold it appearWith magic and fire." Jenny brought the notebook to her room and was happy knowing she now has a notebook of her own. She didn't mind the poem at the first page so she just kept it. She read the poem again and decided to write her own wish in the notebook, a box of pencils. To her surprise, something fell from the notebook. It was a box of pencils. She was shocked and she quickly let go of the notebook on her hand, confused of what just happened. Her confusion later became happiness when she realized it was her wish that gave her the box of pencils. She slept with a smile on her face that night. Next morning, Jenny was back to her old self. She was excited to go to school again. She met her friends in the classroom and showed her new notebook to everyone. All of her classmates were amazed at how beautiful the notebook was. One of her friends joked about her selling her bicycle to buy the new notebook she has but she quickly lied that it was a gift from her auntie back in France. Everyone became more amazed and started to be more friendly to Jenny. As classes started, the students were asked to draw the thing they loved the most in life. Jenny started to draw her father but before she could start, someone asked her if he can borrow a pencil from her because he lost his. With the box of pencils she had, she quickly let her classmate borrow. It made Jenny very happy she could be someone her friends can depend on. At home, Jenny started writing different school items on her notebook. She started writing coloring materials, papers, couple of notebooks. Then, one by one, it all fell down from the black notebook, slipping from the pages. She was so happy to have all the things she only wished for before. The next day at school, as she was about to meet her friends, she noticed that one of them was crying. She asked her what's wrong and her classmate replied that she lost all of her new stuff. Her classmate didn't know what happened because all of them was in her bag the whole time. As Jenny's classmate enumerated all the stuff she lost, Jenny recognized that all of the things mentioned by her classmate were in her bag. She was silent the whole day in school. Jenny went home as soon as classes ended and examined her school items. She realized all her notebook's gifts were actually stolen items from someone else. She felt guilty of what she did. She thought that the best thing to do is to give back the items she received but she also doesn't want her classmates to think she's a thief. Few days past and Jenny was still in dilemma. She didn't know what to do and to make things worse, she was starting to desire more things from her notebook. Everyday, her classmates would brag about their new stuff to class. She felt out of place every time. One day, as the teacher was sharing stories about her life to the class, one of the students asked if she achieved all her dreams in life. The teacher replied that she didn't but it did, however, gave way to much better things she didn't hoped for. She then added that maybe it was destiny that made her life better than what she originally planned. Jenny then realized something. Maybe, she was chosen to take hold of the notebook. Maybe, she deserved to be happy by making use of the notebook. Maybe, it was her destiny to be its owner. And just like that, she decided to own the notebook. Weeks passed and Jenny was demanding more and more from the notebook. She wished for a new bag, a new watch, even a new pair of underpants. Her father was starting to be suspicious of how Jenny was able to have all the things she had. He asked Jenny but she assures those were gifts from her classmates for being such a good friend. Her father believed her and let her be. A few days later, a police officer came by their house. Jenny's father asked what the problem was. The officer told him that there has been multiple reports of missing items and they were asking around the area if anyone noticed any suspicious activity. He replied that he didn't noticed anything. The officer then let him look at a list of all the stolen items, hoping he could be of some help. He recognized the watch but was not sure where he had seen it so he didn't say anything to the police. The officer thanked him for his time and went on his way. The next day, Jenny woke up late for school. It was the day of her test and she overslept. She skipped breakfast to catch up with the exam. Because of her rush, she forgot to bring a lot of things with her, including her watch. Fortunately, she was able to take the exam. She realized after the exam that her watch was not with her. That watch was one of the things she wished in the notebook. It was originally her teacher's. She became paranoid and looked around her bag, however she couldn't find it. As soon as the classes ended, she ran to her house. She looked everywhere in her room but the watch was nowhere to be found. As she was about to go out of her house to retrace her steps, her dad called out to her. Jenny looked back and saw her father sitting in his chair holding her watch. Jenny asked her father why he's wearing her watch. Her father asked why would her daughter steal. Jenny looked guilty however she said she didn't know what he was talking about. Her father's face continued to look pale and told Jenny that he couldn't recognize the daughter he loved all his life. Jenny started crying asking for forgiveness and tried to explain about the notebook. Her father raised his voice, asking Jenny to stop her lies. He, then, stand up and said he would go tell the police and Jenny should take responsibilities for her actions. Jenny begged, trying to convince her father's mind, asking to understand her needs and wants that her life cannot afford. Her father cried but was firm to his decision. Before he left, he told Jenny that the greatest thing he can give her, is the gift of understanding. In life, you just can't have all but that doesn't mean you'll go around hurting others because of your own limitations. Jenny fell to her knees while watching her dad go and change her life forever. Jenny rushed to her room and looked for her notebook. The black and pink notebook ruined her relationship with her dad. She thought that if not for this notebook, her father would've loved her forever but another thought came to her mind. Maybe, it was her dad who's in the wrong. Maybe, they weren't compatible in the first place and he would never understand her. Jenny grabbed her notebook and stared at an empty page. She made up her mind and wished for a better father. Suddenly, all her crying made her tired and she fell asleep. The next morning, as she was getting ready for school in the living room, she remembered that the police should've been at their house, looking for her, but fortunately, none came. She thought that maybe the notebook changed her father's mind and called out to him to thank him. As she was calling her father, an unknown man walked in the living room. She screamed and demanded to say his name. The man explained that he is not a bad man, in fact, he is her father. She was shocked but was not convinced and threaten the man that she will call the police. The man was confused and told her to stop with the nonsense. He then told her that they have been a family a long time and asked her to remember. Jenny looked at the family photos and she was even more shocked and scared. All of the pictures have the man's face in it instead of her father's. She asked what happened to her original father and the man replied that he recognized the name but if he remembered correctly, that man lived long ago but was killed by her own daughter. Jenny went to his room and swept through her notebook. Every page has her one wish written, a better father. She cried and teared each page from the notebook. She shouted and cursed the notebook while tearing it apart. However, as she tears one page, another page appeared. She was mad and violently asked the notebook what it wants. Slowly, the notebook writes unto one of its pages, the notebook wished for Jenny's death. At this point, she was very scared. She looked for the man in the house and told him what the notebook wrote to itself but the man can only see an empty page. She went outside the house, finding the village trashcan where she can throw the notebook. Out of nowhere, a car hits her and she was thrown into the air. Jenny's head hit the ground. Everyone around the area tried to help her but she died immediately. The notebook fell into the trashcan, waiting for its another victim.
