"Hey Sadie! Watch out!"

Wham!

"I warned you~~!"

"Well you could have been more persistent about it..." I said grumbling under my breath as I scowled at the tennis ball now at my feet. I looked at where I was watching the gate of the small park my friend Karen and I were playing in, and sighed. Nothing there. Again.

"What's been up with you lately? You seem so... Spaced out. Are you daydreaming about that cute ice wizard in our class today~~" As you can plainly see, my best friend never takes anything I say seriously.

"No I wasn't!" I said blushing fiercely and turning my head. No way did I have a crush for that jerk!

"Sure~~ You weren't. I know I do! He's so dreamy~~ what was his name again?" she asked acting all dream-like as she lived her lovey-dovey fantasies. I rolled my eyes amazed that she was already so into boys though she never spent a single second with them.

"Jackal. Karen his name is Jackal." I mumbled picking up the ball and throwing it at her head as an act of revenge. I smirked as it hit the side of her head and she groaned... Before completely ignoring it.

"Oooo~~! So he's a predator as well! I'm so excited!" she said squealing and doing some weird chicken dance that I rolled my eyes at. "You've talked to him before right! You have to introduce us!" She continued rambling on and I took a seat on a nearby bench letting my thoughts wander. Lately I was having trouble focusing, but not because I was daydreaming about a boy. That's for stupid girls who see only love in every possible candidate like... Karen. No mine was a much more pressing matter. Graduation. Only three more months before the end of the school year when all the mages in my grade would move on to their jobs. Be it freelance wizard or guild-Mage, healer or just plain old street vender we all would have to choose our future.

The only problem is my options are extremely limited to almost zero. Why you might ask? Because I have little to no magic and am most definitely considered as low on the job list as a... Well. As a street vender. With my abilities it would be a miracle if I even made that. And what's worse is I think I have a stalker. I keep feeling an odd presence somewhere around me and to say I'm creeped out would be an understatement.

"Sadie? Yoo-hoo~! Are you in there?" Karen said tapping on my forehead. I waved her hand away sighing and looked up at her.

"Oh? Are you done with your babble?" I smiled inoccently as she got an almost visible tick mark on her head and pouted.

"Why weren't you listening! You know I could give you so much advice!"

"Sure you could..."

"What was that?!"

"Yes ma'am!" I said sitting up straight with my eyes wide as she gave me a more threatening look than a dragon could've given.

"That's what I thought!" she said smiling. I chuckled half heartedly and looked down. My troubles had been weighing more on my mind than I thought they had been. I was exhausted.

"... You know you'll be fine right?" I looked up surprised as Karen stare down at me. "Your more stubborn and determined than anyone I've known. I know if I ever had a guild you would be my first pick." I smiled up at her the best I could. I know she was trying to reassure me but when she pointed out her dream of wanting to run a guild... I knew she could do it. She was smart and pretty and powerful and popular... Everything I would ever want to be... But couldn't ever possibly be.

"Come on," she said still smiling. "Let's get some ice cream on the way home." I let her lead me to the shop and she bought me a cone of lemon lime. My favorite kind. I sometimes wonder why she... A girl who has everything would be friends with me. I wouldn't be surprised if she was playing me. She walked me halfway to our houses and we both sat down on a bench.

"You know... I didn't want to upset you further but... My fathers decided to move again... This time all the way up to the northern guilds." she said slowly, raising a hand to stop me as I almost yelled my head off at her. "I-I didn't want to tell you because... Your my best friend... I move so often I don't have the time to make friends but... You were really always nice to me." she smiled at me and I was at a loss for words. This just wasn't fair... She was my only friend... But I knew she was hurting too so I held back my tears as best I could and smiled sadly nodding

"Promise you'll keep a spot for me at that guild of yours?"I asked holding out my pinky.

"Promise," she said wrapping her pinky around mine and smiling. "I promise to remember you. Let's see; red hair, green-blue eyes, and a bunch of freckles all over her face."

I chuckled as she made the makeshift list and made one of my own, noting her blue hair and eyes purple. We didn't say good-bye but I did silently in my head. I knew she wouldn't remember me. Not many people would. Besides... Red isn't my real hair color. I always wore a wig whenever I let the house because I was embarrassed of it.

I arrived at my Aunt's shop and took a deep breath before stepping in. It would do me no good to cry anyways.

"Hey Aunt Sophie!"

"Hey dear! Beautiful night isn't it?"

I blinked and looked out the window as I set to work.

"Yeah Aunt Sophie," I smiled. "A beautiful night for new beginnings."

I suddenly jerked my head downwards from the sky I had been looking at. There it was again, that weird feeling of being watched. And again, there was nothing there. I sighed and turned around remembering suddenly that I had a normal job... Maybe I could convince my aunt to let me continue working for her after graduation!

"Say Aunt Sophie..."

Oh yes, a beautiful night for newbeginnings indeed.
