NOTE: This series chronicles the wishes Tina writes in the Wish Journal she received from her aunt when she turned 13. To better understand Tina's character, be sure to read her other wishes in chronological order. Tina slammed the phone down frustrated at hearing the busy signal so many times. She needed to leave her dorm room in ten minutes to make it to her two o'clock class, but this was important! She hung up the phone once more and hit redial. Busy signal again! Tina sighed in frustration. Carly loved the band Runaway Sunshine and getting her tickets, let alone first row tickets, would be the best gift in the world! When the busy signal pulsated through her eardrums again, Carly tried once more as the song on the radio ended. "Congratulations, what's your name?" the DJ's unmistakeable deep voice vibrated through the radio on her speakers. Tina knew she didn't win. Of course, there would be another chance at nine o'clock, but not winning the 1:30 giveaway still dampened her spirits. Slamming the phone in its cradle, which made her always-sleepy roommate stir from beneath her covers on the top bunk bed, Tina sulked in the wooden desk chair. Not winning the tickets wouldn't be the end of the world, but Tina wanted to surprise Carly so badly. Wish #8: To win concert tickets for Carly Carly isn't happy that I'm not home a lot since I left for college. I wish she was happy more often when I called home. I want to be able to take her to see her favorite band. I wish Mom could afford the tickets. I was I could afford the tickets.
I wish I could be the great big sister and swoop in and save the day and give her a smile. I wish Carly would be happy... tickets or no concert tickets.
