Chapter 1. Family Meeting
"I didn't do it" I announced when Dad called us to a family meeting.
"Honey, why are you jumping conclusions?" Mom asked and stared at me.
"Continue" I said to Mom and Dad. They continued to speak and I tuned them out as usual.
"We're getting an exchange student" Dad said and I smiled. that student wouldn't leave the same way they came.
"What about our magic?" protested Justin.
"It wasn't my idea" Dad said glaring at Mom.
"I think it'd be a good idea to teach you all how to appreciate a magic free world" Mom reasoned.
"So who is it? Boy or girl?" I asked.
"It's a surprise" Mom said mysteriously.
"Alex, what are you doing?" my best friend Harper asked.
"Taking a trip to the mall so I can make sure I've memorized where the good stores are in case we get a girl" I answered obviously. I mapped out the mall in my head and was ready to give this hopefully girl a tour.
