This is my first fanfic. I hope you would all like it. I'd appreciate your reviews. :)

I was shaking from head to toe. Today was the Summoning Ritual in Tristain Magical Academy. I wasn't really the best mage ever lived but I can't choke my pride for I am from a noble's family. Okay, fine. Maybe I am the worst mage ever… that may be the only reason why I was known as 'Louise the Zero' since I always tend to blow things up, literally.

All of them managed to summon a trustworthy familiars especially Tabitha. She summoned this awesome wind dragon, I mean who could actually beat that? Not moments later someone called out my name,

"Louise Vallière," it was our professor Osmond.

It was finally my turn. As I walk past the thick crowd, I could hear them whispering insulting things about me and telling me that I am worthless.

And then there was this one person who screamed, "Take cover everyone, it's Louise the Zero's turn," from that flirty irritating voice, I knew that it was Kirche. Everyone burst in laughter. Oh God, I just wished this would end.

Kriiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing kriiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing. It was past seven in the morning. My alarm clock went on. I was still sleepy and I threw my alarm clock somewhere – I don't really care to be honest. I did some stretching and yawned. Is it really seven already? I sighed and remembered it was Saturday. YES! No classes.

Suddenly I heard my mother yell, "Saito! Wake up. You're breakfast is getting cold!" Oh boy! I hope mom made some fried rice and omelet (whatever they are called in Japan) I rushed to my bathroom and took a shower.

I felt my left hand getting all warmed up. I tried soaking it with cold water but nothing is happening. I got hotter and hotter. It was like my hand was being roasted in bare fire. The heat just kept going and it was so hot I fell to the ground and kept yelling. Aaaaaargh! Tears start to run down my eyes. It was unbearable. My hand started to glow and slightly blinded my eyes. I don't know what was happening to me. I thought I was dying. But then, the blinding light fainted slowly, as well as that god damn heat. There was some weird ancient symbols inscripted on my hand. I couldn't understand it. Well… that's a weird way to start my morning.

Hear goes nothing… I said to myself. I started to chant the sacred spell.

"I am Louise Francoise Le Blanc de La Valliere. Pentagon of the five elemental powers, heed my summoning and bring forth my familiar!"

And right before my eyes, everything just exploded. How typical of me. Everyone coughed and was trying to clear the air. As the atmosphere clears up, I was devastated that I have summoned… nothing. Everyone laughed at me and kept telling me that I can't even pull off that sacred ceremony. I don't know why but I couldn't move, all I wanted was to get away from that place but can't.

"Poor Louise, she must've blown up her familiar," Kirche said with a laugh.

Tears poured down my face. I feel stupid and useless. Why can't I even summon a dragon like Tabitha or at least a frog like Montmorency? I was ashamed for myself and my family's reputation… I felt like nobody.

"Louise… Look underneath you… the ground… it's… it's… glowing," Montmorency said.

It was the magic circle. But why would it glow below me? Could this be my familiar? I couldn't understand my feelings. I was terrified and excited at the same time. Maybe the heavens heard my prayers… I might prove them wrong. Who knows what my familiar will be like? I hope it's strong and obedient. I would no longer be Louise the Zero. I am – wait a minute… Something is wrong… This magic circle is not what I thought it is… IT'S A PORTAL! Before I could even run, I was sucked into it and brought to a place unknown.

Splaaaaaaassh. I opened my eyes and inspected my surroundings. What just happened? I looked around me. The place was small, mossy, and filled with water. I was panicking. I tried to climb my way out but the walls are just too slippery. Okay, what to do, what to do? The water was so cold, I'm worn out, and starving. I don't know what to do. Maybe I should try screaming for help.

"Saito, what took you so long?" my mother cried.

"I just don't feel like myself right now, that's all," I replied and tried to act normal.

I could smell my mom's omelet and my stomach started growling like I haven't eaten for years. I hurried to my plate and start to gobble up ever piece of food I could consume.

"Well, hurry up then. We're going to the park today. You promised your sister you'd play with her," That. I almost forgot. It's kind of a bummer. I don't really feel like going out to the park today but hey, anything for my sister.

It wasn't long until we reached the park; it wasn't really that far from home. My mother set out the picnic table while my little sister was dragging me near the lake.

"Michiko. Could slow down a little?"

"Onii-san, I want to show you something"

"What is it?"

"This." She was pointing at a well.

I took a few steps forward for a better look. "What so special about this well?"

"It's not just a well; it's a wishing well! The last time we went here I wished for some cotton candy and it came true!"

"You do know I'm not really into this wishing stuff. Right, Mich?"

"I just wanted you to try it. Here. I saved this for you."

She gave me a penny. "Well… I'm not really sure what to wish for."

"You might as well wish yourself a girlfriend."

"MIIICH!"

"What? I'm just giving you suggestion."

"Fine then. I wish for a girlfriend," I threw the penny onto the well, "So, what now? A girl will just fallout from the sky?"

And then out of the blue, a random girl shouted from the inside of the well, "Heeey! Who threw that?"

I was just about to ask for some help when some freak just threw a coin at me. As I looked up, I saw this cute little girl and a young charming guy next to her. I felt my heart skipped and my face turn red… for no particular reason. I felt my head spun and my body losing its energy. And just like that, I fainted…

Damn, that girl is cute. I thought to myself. "Mich, call mom for me, would you? I'll try to get her out of there before she drowns."

"Okay…" and she flew away.

I grabbed the rope that was tied on the well. I removed the bucket and tied the rope onto my waist. I slowly went down the well. When I was on its surface, I examined the girl. She has this unusual pink curly hair and she was wearing a weird cape. Her face… was pretty. I wonder what happened to her. I grabbed her quickly. She was shivering all over her body. What on Earth would a beautiful girl like her would be doing on this well? I was waiting for my mother to help pull us out. But then, she suddenly hugged me tight and I could see tears flowing down her eyes. My heart was beating fast and I can't help but to smile just seeing her beauty. What could ever be her name be?
