Based on an Japanese Urban Legend: The White String...

   I am an 8 year old girl and I have many friends, and I love my mom. My mom let's me do anything I want, or most the time. During school my best friend was bragging about her new earrings that the group of popular girls peirced her ears for the earrings. Not going to lie, but they did look pretty cool. The whole entire day she was looking at the sparkle her earrings shined in the reflection on the whiteboard. I got jealous. When I went home my mom was cooking as my dad was at work. I asked my mom if I could get my ears peirced tomorrow by one of my friends at school and surprisingly she said "Yes darling, but it's going to be cold tomorrow so take your jacket." I was so HAPPY! The next day I ran into the school bus and spoke to my friends about getting my ears peirced, they also thought I was bragging, the weird thing is that my best friend didn't come to school today, I wanted to twin with her. Later in the afternoon, I rushed to the group of popular girls that peirced my best friend's ears so I could wear earrings aswell. They looked down at me, "What do you want?" One girl snarled at me. " Can I get my ears peirced?" I murmured. "Sure, meet up at this address at 6:40 today. They gave me a ripped out sheet of paper with the information. Once I went home my mom was sleeping, and my dad was at work, he comes home by 7:50, and 9:00 was my bedtime so I grabbed my jacket and felt the warm yarn of fur on my neck. I took the address out of my pants pocket and saw that it was only 2 blocks away. I took many turns and made it by  6:30. I didn't want to be in such a rush so I went onto the porch and waited a couple of minutes. It wasn't very cold outside, it doesn't snow where I live so I wasn't expecting to get frostbite. I saw one of the girls enter the back of the house with a small pouch. I knocked on the front door and two girls answered it."Nice of you to come, sit on the chair that's near the large table with a purple rose. 1 hour later. I left in total pain, my ears were numb and swollen as I took a shortcut home. It was 8:00, my dad was drinking tea with my mother and they saw my peirced ears. They gave me shiny, golden, and snowflake  shaped earrings. I was in love, they were marvelous. The next day at school my best friend came to school but I screamed when I looked her in the eyes. They were pale like the inside of a dragon fruit. She called my name and hugged me, she had a stick in her hands and I was in shock once she told me what happened. "My mom said I lost my optic nerve and I became blind." She spoke as her earrings shined. I gave her another hug, I was in disbelief. During class I felt a pain on my left ear. I asked the teacher and told her if I could go to the restroom. She said "Don't take to long or you'll get 5 points deducted from your classwork. I rushed and took my pouch full of pencils, pens, earasers,and one scissor. I looked in the mirror and saw a srting poking out of my ear. I was bleeding, I grabbed a napkin and dryed up the blood. I didn't want to cause a scene so I didn't ask for assictance. I pulled the string as it became longer when I pulled it, like a rope, this went on for 30 seconds and gave up on pulling the white string and grabbed my pouch with the scissor and cut the white string. "Who turned off the lights?" I screamed ater I finished the sentence, I felt water going down my arms even though I knew it wasn't water, it was blood. I past out. My mom woke me up and I tried to open my eyes, it felt like they were already open, I just couldn't see anything. I yelled and cried. "Miss, we need you to leave we'll be telling your daughter what had happened," then my mom left in tears. Then I heard my dad speaking to my mom. I didn't know where I was but was crying with my eyes open, it was strange, I coudn't see a thing, just darkness. The nurse told me to calm down, I knew it was a nurse because she told me and to settle down. She said I was blind. I told her "How is this possible, the last thing I remember was cutting a white string and it went all black. " You cut ot your optic nerve" She sighed as my mom came back in the room and bursted into tears, my dad came in and aswell but I knew he was disappointed.
