A Thousand Wishes
By LilyChan
Chapter One
Little Miles Edgeworth enjoyed art class because there was never a wrong answer nor there was a right answer. His father was always happy with him but he seemed happier whenever Miles would bring a drawing or some macaroni jewelry or even a piece of paper with a colored handprint on it. Miles always strived to better his art so his father could be more proud and happier. He didn’t fully understand his father’s job but there were some nights when he just looked completely miserable.
He wanted to bring a smile to his father’s face.
When he sat next to his best friend, little Phoenix Wright, and some kid, he was always excited for art time but he never showed it on his face. Miles didn’t need to express his emotions on his face; he always felt more comfortable expressing it in his art. When the substitute teacher, Miss Fukui Aiko, told them they were going to make paper cranes for the art period, Miles didn’t understand and thankfully neither did the other kids.
A girl with pigtails raised her hands and the teacher awkwardly called her name.
“How do you make paper cranes?” she asked. The teacher smiled kindly at her.
“I’m going to show you.” She turned and looked into the rather large bag she had brought with her that morning. Miles’ and the children’s curiosity grew the longer she fumbled through the bag. Once she found what she looked for, she brought it out. It looked like a lot of paper, which was wrapped in plastic, but Miles was pretty sure the teacher wasn’t going to let them use all of it.
She opened the top of the plastic and proceeded to pass one sheet of paper to each student and Miles eagerly awaited. He wanted to learn to make a paper crane for his dad. Maybe it’ll make him happier.
As soon as Miss Fukui was sure every student had a sheet of paper, she returned to the old teacher’s desk and put the pack of paper down.
She proceeded to explain in a slow but patient pace as she folded the paper with the other students. At first, Miles thought he had the hang of it - Miss Fukui had to help everyone, and even Phoenix, at least twice or more while Miles didn’t need her help. Even Miss Fukui was impressed by Miles’ effort.
“Are you sure you don’t need my help?” she asked gently. Miles felt a little embarrassed so he shifted his attention to his paper crane.
“Ye-yes, ma’am,” Miles stuttered shyly. However, he wasn’t truly paying attention to his crane. When he was supposed to lift the top part of the sheet, Miles had pulled it so hard, it virtually ripped which seemed to resonant in the small classroom.
The other students didn’t seem to care that Miles had ripped his crane but when he heard Miss Fukui laugh nervously, the class bully’s, Larry Butz, boisterous laughter, and Phoenix’s gasp, Miles felt so tiny. He felt so tiny and embarrassed and why did it have to happen to him? He was the best art student! He was good at everything!
The young boy froze in his place as he slowly realized what had happened.
No one else said a word until Larry Butz remarked on how pink Miles’ face was, it was enough for Miles to start crying. Much louder than he wanted to.
