Chapter 7 A Crazy Wish 

(Anj‘s POV) 

My brain must be on haywire. 

Like taking my medicine, after drinking Appletini, I feel dizzy but in a really good way. I felt lighter and free and had the courage to do everything I wanted. This gorgeous Greek god must have used his magic spell on me that I just kept on following everything he said.

I only smiled at him, tilting my head to look at the time on his wristwatch. It is only ten in the evening, and I will be seventeen in two hours, or maybe Sister Grace is wrong. My birthday is probably today or yesterday. The thought of not knowing when the exact day or time my mother gave birth to me brought tears to my eyes

and this morning, after the horror of seeing my swollen face, I went to the prayer room and uttered my wish. “What‘s your wish then?” He asked as if he was the God I was praying to. “Huh?” My cheeks blushed, and I shook my head. I wish I could tell him, but I am profoundly gifted, a child that could read well at the age of three, that I had to be accelerated, skipping grade levels in school. At the age of twelve, I passed the university entrance examination, but because of the limited budget, despite my full scholarship, I chose a business course instead of medicine. Surrounded by people older than me, I didn‘t have many friends, only Anya and Dylan, because most of them were intimidated by me. I hate to admit it, but
