Hi, everybody! I decided to do a new story because I love the Caster Chronicles. The books are AWESOME.

This is going to be AU, for starters. I'm best at writing AU's, so, yeah. It's going to be a Ethan/Lena (couple name?), and they are all human. I'm going to try and keep them as in character as possible, but it might be kind of hard; I will do my best.

This first chapter is going to be kind of short because it's just the prologue. The chapters will get longer as I go on. Also, the whole story is going to be in Lena's POV because there was hardly any of her POV in the books.

Also, the title, Let It Be, came from one of my favorite songs, Let It Be by the Beatles. I don't know how I'm going to connect it to the story, but it's the first title that popped into my head.

Enough talking, on with the story!

Disclaimer: I don't own the Caster Chronicles or anything else.

Let It Be

Chapter 1

I continued down the hallway, keeping my head down and my eyes on the ground. I clutched my books tighter to my chest, trying to ignore the people that I could feel staring at me.

I hated going to new schools. This was just another school that I was going to go to for a few months and then forget about once my uncle, Uncle Macon, and I moved away. We've moved more times than I can count. Now we were in a small southern town named Gatlin in South Carolina.

I hated it.

I lived alone with Uncle Macon. My mother and father had died when I was little, so I don't remember them very much. I loved my uncle more than anything. He had raised me and taken care of me, making sure I was safe. That apparently was the reason we moved so much: he claimed we move for my "safety". I have no idea what he means, and I don't think I want to, anyways.

I looked up at the numbers above the classroom doors, trying to find the right classroom. It was the beginning of the day, and I knew I was early. School wasn't supposed to start for another fifteen minutes.

I found the right classroom for my first period, English. I went into the classroom and approached the teacher's desk.

I stopped at her desk and she looked up. She had graying hair and fierce brown eyes. One of her eyes, though, was a glass eye.

She gave me a stiff smile. "Hi."

"Hi. I'm the new student, Lena Duchannes," I replied.

"Oh, well, hello. I'm Ms. English."

I raised an eyebrow. I had to stifle my laughter. What English teacher has the name Ms. English?

She narrowed her eyes at me. Apparently she got this reaction a lot. "You can take your seat now. We are studying To Kill A Mockingbird right now. I can lend you a copy if you need one, but-"

I cut her off. "I already have a copy."

"Very well, then."

I took a seat in the front and near the windows. I was the only student in the room so far. As minutes went by, I wrote in my notebook while the room started to fill up.

I kept my head and eyes down, not wanting to make eye contact with anybody. I didn't feel like conversing with anyone today.

The bell rang and Ms. English stood up and began lecturing about the book. I let my mind drift as I doodled in my notebook. After an hour, the class dismissing bell rang, signaling the end of class. I gathered my belongings and went to stand up when a girl stopped in front of my desk.

I studied her. She was a blonde with icy blue eyes. She had way too much makeup on, and she was wearing a shirt and skirt that looked about three sizes too short.

I met her cold gaze. "Can I help you?"

"You're Macon Ravenwood's niece, right?"

"Yeah. And?"

She narrowed her eyes and gave a cold smile. "Oh, I was just curious. I'm Savannah, in case you were wondering."

I stood up and picked up my books. "Believe me, I wasn't."

She gaped at me while I went to walk around her.

She blocked me. "Excuse me, but-"

"Savannah, come on. Leave her alone."

I looked back at the person who had spoken. He was a tall, muscular guy with brown hair that was swept across his forehead. He had warm brown eyes. I couldn't deny that he was attractive.

He wasn't smiling, but he didn't look rude either. He looked curious.

The girl, Savannah, huffed and moved out of my way. "Whatever, Ethan."

Ethan, I'm guessing that was his name, smiled at me and walked towards the door with a group of friends.

I sighed and walked out of the classroom, heading for my next class.

The rest of the day went by pretty slowly and uneventfully. I saw a lot of Savannah and her posse, more than I would have liked.

I also saw a lot of Ethan with his buddies. I don't know why, but I felt a strange connection with him.

I knew this was going to be a long year, whether I liked it or not.

Well, there ya go! Review, favorite, follow! All of it is much appreciated(:

Until next time, au revoir, mes amis!
