I was in the canteen of my school next year, in grade six. I was deciding which table I should sit at when I saw a table where somebody had left two chocolates. They were Jolly Rancher chocolates, and since I love chocolate so much, I decided to sit at that table. So, when I sat down, something inside me told me that I should take the chocolates. I took the chocolates and put them inside my pocket. Just after that, my friends Selena and Bishakha came to me and said we could go to the canteen to sit with Devrani. So, I went to the canteen with the chocolate in my pocket. After we finished our snacks and were coming down, Ipsa saw the chocolate inside my pocket and was about to snatch it, but I stopped her just in time. She wanted to have a look at my chocolate. Then, for the rest of the day, she kept on trying to snatch it from me. Finally, when I was alone, I took a small bite of the red chocolate. It tasted even better than I expected, and it was supposed to taste sweet. I felt a weird sensation in my body, but it quickly faded away, maybe because I got used to it. Then, I went to class, and everything else was normal. After school finished, I went home and, as usual, checked my height. I noticed that I was half an inch taller than the mark I had drawn that morning. I was wondering and worrying why I had suddenly grown tall all at once. But then I became happy because I love being tall. However, I did not tell my parents that I had grown half an inch, and they did not notice it either. After dinner, while changing my clothes, I noticed the chocolates sticking out from my pocket. This time, I took the green one, but it tasted really sweet when it was not supposed to. Then, I slept like a baby. The next morning, when I checked my height, I was back to the previous mark from yesterday morning, and somehow I was happy. As I packed my bag for school, the telephone rang: ti nininininini... ti nininininini... ti nininininini... And then I woke up and realised it was my mother waking me up, and I was still in 5th grade, doing my last and final exam.
