The Perfect Pair By: Nala S.



  It’s going to be the change of a lifetime, cleaning, breaking, and replacing. I’m no longer going to be one of the kids who doesn’t have glasses, one of the kids who doesn’t need them. Here we are, parked onto the store’s parking lot. All I can see is gray cement, with yellow and white lines. Excited and jittery is what I’m was feeling. But know it’s dawned on me, it will be different hear out.
  Walking into the store, I notice the floors. Gleaming like sweat after a 5k run. I’m in awe. I’m never going see anything like this again.
Lots. The one word I can think of at this moment. Lots. The word I’m using to describe how many pairs of glasses that are lined on the walls. Although there are more pairs of glasses on the walls than teeth in a shark’s mouth, I settle on one pair. Dark purple. It’s as dark as the midnight sky. The only things that are missing are the stars. They are my dream glasses. They’re one of the things that I’ve always wanted most. I can’t help but feel overly excited. My heart is full of joy. And you can see my smile from a mile away.
  Think, my heart says. Think about what it will be like with glasses. Think about how they will
change your life forever. Think about the
flaws and the good things glasses fix
 about the world. They will change my
life forever.
