chapter 10: the three Magicias

[ i apologize if there would be any errors ( grammars, spellings and such more ). ]

TRAVIS' POINT OF VIEW

"Oo na, pasalamat ka nasa mabuting kalagayan ako ngayon. Basta ha, pagsabihan mo talaga yan si Travis na wag na wag niyang sabihin sa kahit kanino or else pagsiraan ko siya." Aunt Tia scolded Juliet.

Translation: "Okay fine, you are lucky that I am in a good mood right now. But make sure that you tell Travis that he will never tell this one to anyone or else I will destroy him." (self-translation)

"Oo naman, Aunt Tia. Oh halika, simulan na natin ito." Juliet said.

Translation: "Of course, Aunt Tia. Alright, let"s start this." (self-translation)

As the both of them talked with their Filipino language, I stared at them like I will be having a nosebleed, because of their sayings.

"Travis, please do promise that you will never tell anyone about this. Even though, you and Juliet are in a fight or whatever, please never mention this to anyone. It will ruin our reputation, especially mine." Aunt Tia begged.

"I promise, Tia. I won't let you and your family down." I said as I smiled then she smiled back.

"Okay, so what is your project all about?" Aunt Tia asked.

"Well, we will be making a magic that can be used in the future." I explained as Juliet nodded.

"I even made a chest for it." Juliet said as she grabbed the chest and showed it to Aunt Tia.

"Very good, Juliet. Alright, so what is on your mind?" Aunt Tia asked.

"Super senses and Telekinesis." Juliet said.

"Destruction." I said at the same time with Juliet.

"Wait what?" We both said.

"Hold on, those Magicias are seriously serious." Aunt Tia said.

"It's the future we are talking about, Aunt Tia. But seriously? Destruction?"  Juliet said.

"What?" I said.

"Alright, alright, settle down. You're doing three Magicias for the future?" Aunt Tia asked.

"Most likely." Juliet and I said.

"We can make that work as long as you two decide with the three." Aunt Tia said then the both of us sighed.

"We will still call through the mirror same time tomorrow. In case the two of you decided with the three Magicias, here are the ingredients." Aunt Tia said then a paper went out of the mirror along with sparkles.

"Now, that is magic." I chuckled then they both smiled.

"I still have something to do, see you tomorrow, Juliet and Travis!" Aunt Tia said as she waved.

"Goodbye, Aunt Tia!" We said then Aunt Tia faded as a sign that she ended the call.

"Not to be rude, but destruction? Really?" Juliet asked.

"What? It is an advantage for the future, and can be used in any certain ways." I explained then she sighed.

"Alright fine, as well as there is the Super sense and Telekinesis, we're good." She said then I nodded.

"Deal." I said as I reached out my hand for a handshake then she did the same thing and we shaked our hands.

"Oh by the way, do you want some cookies or anything downstairs?" She asked.

I want you. I thought to myself as I stared at her.

"Cookies sound good." I replied with a chuckle then went downstairs.

Juliet and I spent the rest of the hours talking about ourselves. I can feel a connection between us both, especially that she is the love of my life. The guy she likes is very lucky, even though that guy is particularly not me. Afterwards, I noticed it is almost my curfew time. So, I told Juliet and left after. 10 minutes later, I arrived at my house with a huge grin in my face.

"Why the 'grin', Travis?" Lauren asked as I startled when I saw her beside me.

"You don't have to startle me like that, Laury." I groaned as I put down my bag onto the floor.

"I just have the best day with Juliet." I said as I smiled and started blushing.

"Why are you blushing? Oh no, don't tell me-" Lauren said while holding a bowl with cereal then I cutted her off.

"I like her, Lauren, and since the two of you are friends, can you please help me?" I asked as I pouted and faced at her.

"Woah, woah, woah. Slow down, Travy." She said as we both sat down on the sofa.

"You don't understand, I've been liking her since middle school and only Romeo knew about it." I said.

"I don't wanna burst your bubble, but I might think she like-" She said then I cutted her off.

"Yes, she likes someone else, I know that." I sighed then her eyes are wide open.

"Care to explain?" She asked with a frown then she eat a spoonful of cereal.

"It's a long story, you don't wanna know." I said then she sighed.

"Please Laury, talk to her. You two are girls, and probably have the same mindsets." I continued.

"I'll try, okay? Girls don't want to be forced, you know?" She said.

"Alright, thank you Laury, you're the best!" I said then I went downstairs to change.

Next day after school

Juliet and I bought all of the ingredients in the market right after school then we immediately went to her house.

"By the way, how is Romeo, Travis?" Juliet suddenly asked as we walked in through her front door.

"He's doing fine, the nurse said that he will be staying home until Thursday." I replied then she sighed in relief.

"Well, that's great." She said then I smiled.

"Good afternoon, Julia!" I greeted as I saw Julia in their living room.

"Oh, good afternoon, Travis! Please have some of the soup after you and Juliet work on your project." Julia said as she looked at me.

"Definitely!" I chuckled as Juliet and I went upstairs.

After 10 minutes of preparing the ingredients and Juliet reciting the following..

"Hello Aunt Tia!" Juliet greeted as she waved her hand.

"Hello as well, Tia!" I greeted.

"Well hi to you two! Did you buy all the ingredients that were listed in the paper?" Aunt Tia asked.

"Yes, we did!" Juliet exclaimed as she showed the ingredients.

"Very good! So what do Magicia do you want to start first?" Aunt Tia asked then Juliet and I looked at each other and nodded.

"Super senses." We both said.

After several hours, Juliet and I make two Magicias which are the Super senses and Telekinesis, along with Tia's help. I must say making a Magicia is very hard, especially when we will do it seriously, but in my case, I had fun making it because I'm with the love of my life. Her giggles, smiles and small talks can already make my day better.

"Aaand we are done!" I exclaimed then Juliet clapped in excitement and she hugged me.

"Thank you Travis!" Juliet said as I hugged her back.

"Your welcome, Juliet." I said with a smile.

"Alright lovebirds, save all of your lovey dovey later." Aunt Tia chuckled as we released from hugging.

"Tomorrow, we will be doing the destruction and the preparation for presenting in your class will be on Thursday, okay?" Aunt Tia said as Juliet and I nodded.

"Yes will do, Aunt Tia." We said.

"Okay, I need to go now. See you tomorrow kids!" She said as she waved her hand.

"See you too!" We replied then we ended the call.

"Juliet?" I said as she stood up, bringing the chests with the Magicias inside.

"Yes, Travis?" Juliet asked as she turned at me.

"Have you and Lauren talked anytime today?" I asked with a sigh then she frowned.

"No, why?" She asked in confusion as she placed the chests in one of her shelves.

"Nothing, just wondering." I said as I stood up.

"You seem like a good person, Travis." She chuckled as she slowly walked towards me.

"Well of course I am. But what made you thought of that?" I chuckled.

"You are one of the most popular boys at school, and I thought you are somehow bad." She said as she frowned.

"I am raised right by my parents, Juliet. But thank you for the compliment, I really appreciate it." I said as I smiled.

"Your welcome, come on, let's sip some of my Mother's homemade soup downstairs!" She exclaimed then I chuckled.

We went downstairs and meet with her mother in the kitchen. After an hour of talking and sipping of soups, I decided to went home since it's almost my curfew. I waved at Juliet and Julia then had to walk 10 minutes from their home.
