If Only I had magical power

Oh my gosh! I woke up with a jolt. The single ray of sunlight that shone through a crack between the break of dawn was over.
I kicked out of my bed and glanced at the clock. 7:58 a.m. Two minutes till I'll have to be seated in my own chair at school or else I'll  have to go through detention. Again! Quickly, I zapped myself out of my pajamas and into my uniform. Then, I muttered a quick spell  which immediately stopped my empty stomach from rumbling.
7:59 a.m. No more time to waste! I flung my school bag over my shoulders and snapped off the lights.  After every thing's settled, I stepped out of my bedroom window and felt the icy wind slapping my bare legs.  Twenty sedonds! I gave a small jump from my window ledge and sprinkled some "Magical Zoom Power" on myself and disappeared from my house and reappeared the next moment at my own seat. 
As I collasped into my chair, the door knob turned and Mrs. Grumble, our class teacher came through.  Whew! So I made it back with a second to spare.  Mrs. Grumble seemed to be surprised as well because she kept glancing at me with curious eyes during register.
The rest of the day went well too. I was energized throughout the whole day. Religion and Culture seems to have gotten a little more interesting, because I secretly changed the colour of Mr. Yan's hair every time he blinked. I finally learnt something in English today as I made a whole encyclopedia invisible and managed to cover half of it during double lesson English and Chinese and read about Amelia Earhart.
As I fell asleep that night, I thought back to everythingthat had happened. If only I had magical power, I would have gotten to school on time and needn't have detention. If only I had magical power, I would not have slept through the whole day then realized that I hadn't learnt anything! If only I had magical power, I would not be caught colouring Mr. Yan's photo's  bright sharp colours that even the teachers admit that it looks good.
If only I had magical power, my encyclopedia would not be taken from me and rotted for English and Chinese!
Just then I had another thought. I made some strawberry flavoured love potion and Bryon drank it. He is officially my boyfriend. Straight to your face Linda.  I snuggle down deeper into my mattress.  Ah...If only I had magical power...

If Only I had magical power

Last night I had a dream, I met an old man and he offered me to have magic power.  He let me have only one magic power and just for only one day.
I thought for a while and decided to have the power that my mother would listen to whatever I said. I thought this was funny because she always asked me to listen to what she said.
I got up one day, so I started carefully, the first thing was not going to school, I just told her that I didn't want to go to school and she said OK.  I was surprised and tried to ask her to go shopping together and she said fine.  During the shopping, I almost got everything I wanted to buy , liked the PSP, new games, new clothes, laptop computer and it asked me if I had bought enough.  That was extremely unbelievable, I found this power was really good.
While I was playing with my new PSP, someone was shouting loudly and knocking at my head ... wake up, wake up, wake up, time for school ... Oh! That was my mother, I tried to find my PSP but nothing was found until then I realize that I just had a dream, not any magical power.

If Only I had magical power

After the Third World War, many people died in the war.  But ... It was good news. I found that only I have magical power!  Why did I know that? I felt strange one day.  I saw a shadow roll downstairs but ... when I finished my breakfast, it appeared to me again! It was really painful...
I was very surprised at that moment,  I could foresee the future! On the way to school, I saw that there was a test in I.S. lesson. I was the first one who knew this news. I forgot to eat breakfast so I was hungry. Suddenly, there was some bread on my table. I thought I did it by my magic. It was my magical power.
After a few days, I could fly in the sky and hid in the ground. I would go to help them to redevelop the community and cure the patients. I would not save dead people, because it was a fact. I couldn't change that.
After a year, people in many countries became rich, the community was just like the past, people were happy, and the countries promised to stop all the wars.  And my magical power also disappeared.
All the things I made were just like a dream ... a nice dream.
