Magic

Maga

The first day morning before school starts is always chaos with girls running around finding curlers and books. And our room is no different. ”Celine, if you don't come out of that bathroom in the next five minutes, I will break that door and come in.” June yelled from outside while baking the door. And I smiled at their childish behavior while braiding my hair. This is the reason I always get up extra early to use the bathroom before Celine goes in because she rarely comes out.

”Give me two minutes June, I am almost done.” Celine yelled back. But she came out after five minutes, and seconds before June breaks down that door.

”Jeez, are you in your periods June because looks like your mood and magic are both out of control today.” Celine commented, going towards the dresser.

”Why was there a problem with the taps again?” June asked innocently while smirking, and I huffed. June has done this all the time, she possesses Wave magic, so she controls all things that have to do with water.

”Yes, apparently, the water stopped showing up. Isn't that a wonder?” Celine asked with a mocking tone.

”It indeed is a wonder.” June called out from the bathroom. While I was starting to get a headache due to their bickering.

”Would you two stop and enjoy the tranquility that the daybreak brings?” I said with my hands raised in the air.

”Oh, Scar, you know that if the both of us don't bicker in the morning, then that is not a good morning for the three of us.” Celine replies.

”Yeah, right, not a good morning for the two of you, don't include me in that. Nonetheless, I am going for breakfast.” I asserted and took my bag and left the room with Celine screaming good luck from the room. When I left the girl's dormitory that is on the third floor while the boys are on the second floor, how unfair is that? Because we have to walk three flights of stairs to reach the ground floor while they have only two. Even though we have a lift that almost everyone uses except me because I like a morning walk.

When I reached the landing, I saw the foyer was crammed with students trying to get inside the dining area. While I just followed the current too. When I went inside the dining room, I joined the queue that was formed to get to the breakfast bar. While the line was moving at a snail's pace I examined all the food they have for breakfast. There were waffles, toast, pancakes, etc...

By the time I reached the front, I was hit with the smell of varieties of different food, and I made up my mind to have waffles today, they looked so delicious with chocolate and strawberries on top with a dollop of whipping cream, hmm.

After I filled my tray with waffles and orange juice I scanned the entire dining room for a place, and luckily I spotted a table at the far end. Once I sat down, I started to dig in. While devouring my food, I felt someone else sit beside me, and when I looked up, I saw the most annoying face ever.

”Hey, mind if we sit here?” Heath asked me with a smile playing on his lips.

”I do mind, so if you would go find some other place, I would appreciate it.” I said with an irritated tone.

”No can do. I am perfectly fine sitting here.” he replied and I groaned at him. And I turned around to glare.

”Why did you even ask me then?” I asked, losing my calm demeanor by the minute.

”I tried to start a conversation with you.” he replied nonchalantly with a shrug.

”Well I don't want to talk.” I said.

” You do know who we are, right?” Heath asked me.

”And do I look like I care?” I retorted.

”Well looks like you should.” he replied and started eating his food. And during this whole ordeal, Ashton kept staring at me and that makes me shift in my seat. I don't know how to explain this, but when Ashton came over and sat beside me, I felt an invisible pull towards him. It felt like if I don't touch him now, I might suffocate, so without making this whole thing complicated, I tried to get up from my seat and walk off. But all I did was try because unlucky me, I couldn't get up from my chair, and I turned around to glare at Heath for using his Storm magic to keep me in place, but he raised his hand in surrender.

”I Possess Heat, not storm.” he said before getting up and leaving Ashton and me alone.

”Why do you always run away from me, Sarina?” Ashton asked me in his deep husky voice which caused unnecessary tinkles to run down my spine.

”Ashton, I think if we both stay far away from each other, then we won't cause much drama in this school. Because trust me, I am already dealing with enough I don't want to start hearing people call me more names because of you.” I mumbled with my eyes glued to my plate.

”I am afraid I can't do that. I am fond of that mouth of yours.” Ashton whispered in my ears. His hot breath stumbling all my coherent thoughts. His hand slowly moved towards mine, and when it was almost going to touch, I abruptly got up from my seat, startling the both of us.

”It was nice having breakfast with you, Ashton, but I am afraid I have a class to attend to.” I said before grabbing my bag and fast walking towards my first class, History.

By the time I arrived at my class, the bell rang signaling the start of school, so I hastily walked towards the far bench and took a seat next to Royce, he is the only guy who doesn't tease me of being a Neutral, so we eventually got along, and now he is also one of my friends. But the hilarious part is that he is part of the jock group. And he is a nice guy too. Weird right?

”So Scar, I saw your small intervention with the Marco’s at breakfast today, anything interesting?” Royce asked me with a suggestive tone and I lightly smacked his muscular arm while he continued to laugh.

”You don't start to be a jerk like Heath too, Royce.” I said.

”Well as far as I heard, Heath is a charmer and a ladies man as the girls call him while Ashton is this hothead, grumpy person.” Royce said and I laughed at his comment.

”The latter is true, but Heath a charmer? I would die before I get to see that.” I said.

After a couple of minutes, the teacher came in with Ashton and Heath on his tail. Why do these two have to come here?

”Good morning class, Mr.Ashton Marco and Mr.Heath Marco will be joining us today.” the teacher announced, and then the both of them made their way to take a seat right next to me! Why does the universe hate me so much today?

”Today, we are going to learn about how the Magic council was formed, so in the early...” the teacher continued his lesson while I was taking notes. And that entire time, I felt an intense glance my way, and I knew without even turning that it was Ashton, so I ignored it.

”You want to hang out at the library after school?” Royce asked me, leaning close to me. That is where the four of us sometimes hang out. When I was about to reply, Royce unexpectedly fell from his chair, and the whole class turned around to look even, the teacher stopped his lesson.

”Mr.Solomon, are you okay?” the teacher asked him.

”I am fine, Mr.Dent, I fell off my chair when I was going to take my pen.” Royce said before sitting back on his chair. I knew he did not fall by accident. When I turned around to look at Ashton, he glanced my way and winked. What on earth is his problem with me? Is it a crime that I showed them the way to the office the first day?
