Chapter 1

-?'s POV-

"Oh my god this is awkward" She thought to herself as she got onto the school bus which was overcrowded with older students. Squishing into an empty seat, she let out a deep sigh and whipped out her extremely old htc phone. Tapping around on games, the petite girl brushed her her thick black hair away from large her eyes, but as usual her hair just got in the way again (ugh it's actually happening to me as I write this, tru story everyone). Opening up her Whatsapp to check if her friends from her primary school, Beacon Hill had messaged her, and yes, of course they did! Her phone overloaded with messages from massive group chats, or just from some random classmates from last year wishing her luck in middle school. As her friends were going crazy on a group chat, she smirked slightly as she was about to reply but she heard a familiar groan from the boy who just sat down in front of her and he was looking straight at her!

"Ugh, what are you doing here, Claudia?"

Rolling her eyes, Claudia girl brushed her hair out of the way (at least attempted to), and looked up, then she groaned as well. Sitting there was her old enemy from class, Issac. They weren't official enemies, but they hated each other's guts. At least there was some people she knew on this bus. Tearing her eyes away from her phone, she saw Vanessa sitting near the front, but she couldn't get her attention. Jaime was sitting next to her, but she was too busy talking with Vanessa to notice the teeny girl in a sea of 12 - 18 year olds.

"What did you get for your humanities grade?"

"Ugh, it was terrible! Humanities is soooo boring, and I got a B! My parents wanted me to get a A+, or at least an A-!" Claudia heard two Year 12s or 13s chatting in the row behind her. She smirked, and looked down at her phone.

"It can't be that hard to get a grade." she thought to herself.

-?'s POV-

The girl woke up with a start.

"Yay! It's the first day of middle school!" She thought to herself. She jumped out of bed, changed her clothes and prepared her bag just in time to see her younger brother Max being dragged out of bed by their helper Olive.

"Get up, sleepy head! We have a big day today!" Karina urged jumping up and down.

"But Gaga, I'm going back to Primary School today! I went there last year!" Her brother grumbled as Olive brushed his hair while he turned on the tap.

"But still, faster!" Karina rushed her brother. "Cemon la!" Karina jumped up and down. Max sighed and rolled his eyes at his older crazy sister

"Good morning!" Karina's grandpa said happily while watching tv as Karina strode by, who was straightening her school shirt and her younger brother, who was half asleep.

"Hi Yea Yea!" Karina replied.

"Your up early, usually Olive drags you out" Karina's grandma chuckled.

"Well I didn't want to miss school Ma Ma!" She answered with a grin. After a while, her brother finally finished getting ready, so they got onto their 7-seated car. The whole trip, Karina hugged her favourite pillow peachy, which was of course, peach! Unfortunately, peachy had dozens of holes in her, but Karina didn't really mind at all. She texted her chat, Friends Forever which had Jasmine, Diego, Anissa, Megan, Wai Yi, Rachel, Felcia and Natalie on it, but none of them replied. She shrugged it off, and started typing on her phone, making parodies with her brother and sending them to Friends Forever so her friends could check them.

-?'s POV-

"Alessandro! Wake up!" His older brother called him.

"aspettare!" Alessandro moaned as he got up and rubbed his eyes. His brother dragged him into the bathroom, and when Alessandro was still half asleep he poured a cup of cold tap water on him.

"Argh!" Alessandro said wide awake, looking down at his cold, wet pj's.

"Well I had to get you to wake up." His brother tried not to laugh while he was shrugging.

Alessandro got dry, then changed into his new school uniform quickly as he was still freezing.

"Matteo, what's Island School like?" Alessandro asked his brother who looked nothing like him. Yes, they both spoke Italian, but Matteo had brown hair while Alessandro was blonde. Matteo was comparatively taller, and Alessandro was only a bit over average Year 7 height.

"Well," Matteo paused. "I don't know how to explain it, but you'll find out soon." He smirked as Alessandro shoved a water bottle saying 'Matteo Suarez 8E' on it.

"Mom, why do I always get Matteo's stuff?" Alessandro asked his mother.

"Sandro, it isn't that bad." His Mom answered in a light Italian accent. "It's not that used anyways." She ruffled Alessandro's hair. "Let's get going." They all got onto the car and as Alessandro's Mom started up the engine, he gave himself a little pep talk.

"Middle school can't be that bad.. Just find some friends… Yeah" Alessandro muttered under his breath. Last year, yes, he did have friends, but they all left for other middle schools. Alessandro knew he had old classmates in his new class, but it just wouldn't be the same with strangers around. He really just didn't know what to do when he got to school, but he just went with it as he hoped for the best.

-?'s POV-

"Christina, get upppppp!" Christina's older sister was shaking her, constantly but she wouldn't get up.

"Just give me a second! I'm tireeed!" Christina moaned.

"Well maybe you shouldn't have played Minecraft all night last night then! Do you want me to tell Mom or Dad? Or both?" Her sister smirked.

"NOOOO WAY!" Christina was wide awake. "YOU WOULDN'T, RIGHT?!" Christina begged.

"Don't worry, I won't." Christina's sister smirked.

"Good." Christina got straight back to bed. "Then wake me up tomorrow."

"Christina, there's a boy waiting to date you at school!"

That woke her up.

"EWWWW!" Christina hated boys, and her sister knew it. "NEVER SAY THAT AGAIN, GOT IT?!" Christina got up and headed to the bathroom. "I'll get you back for that." She murmured as her sister stuck out her tongue. She took her time, as her school bus stop wasn't far from home. She brushed her hair lazily, not really caring about it's messy appearance. Her hair was straight enough, so it didn't really look too bad. She got changed into her school shirt and skort, because she cringed whenever she had to wear an actual skirt instead of a skort itself. Christina hated all things girly, but her sister was the exact opposite. Her sister had gotten her ears pierced at Christina's age, but Christina could never forgive herself if she ever got earrings, or wore (insert cringe here) lipstick. Ew. She also hated boys, so she was a bit of a tomboy, except she still hung out with girls instead of boys. She was sorta picky on her friends, because some girls were just too girly while some were just… Annoying. Her sister on the other hand was a complete girly girl. Wonder what the girls in her class would be like…

-?'s POV-

"Gloria? Get up…" Gloria's helper lightly shook her, and she shot up, wide awake and ready for school. Gloria rushed to the bathroom to brush her teeth, tie her hair up and slip on her glasses before her parents were even awake.

"Gloria? What are you doing, ready for school so early?" Gloria's mother walked out the bedroom door, rubbing her eyes and yawning.

"Well, I'm excited!" Gloria was practically jumping off the walls in excitement.

"Okay." Gloria's mom grinned. "Just wait for me to get changed and we can go."

Gloria admitted it was kind of lonely. She was the only child, so she had no one to talk to in the mornings. At least she'll get to talk to her friends at school. She whipped out her phone, and started playing games. Not long later, her mom walked out of the bedroom, ready to bring Gloria to school.

"Let's go." She put her wallet into her handbag. Gloria put her light backpack onto her shoulder. They walked out the door and went downstairs to the carpark, and Gloria practically jumped into the car as they set off to the mountain where Island School was… (sorry this was so short, there really isn't much conversation here)

-?'s POV-

"Get up, sleepy head! We have a big day today!" Karina jumped up and down.

"But Gaga, I'm going back to Primary School today! I went there last year!" Max grumbled as their helper brushed his hair while he turned on the tap.

"But still, faster!" Karina rushed Max. "Cemon la!" Karina jumped up and down.

'Oh god, why.' Max thought rolling his eyes. He groaned all the way onto the car, and he fell asleep as soon as they got on.

"Max! Wake up!" Max's mom nudged him softly

"Wait… What?" Max murmured, really confused.

"You're at school!" She laughed. "You slept so long that we already dropped off Gaga at Island School!"

"Why didn't you wake me up Mi Mi! I wanted to see what it looks like!" Max pouted.

"Don't worry, you have your visit soon, and you'll see it when we pass by to pick up Gaga anyways!" Mi Mi reassured him. "Bye!"

here goes the first chapter of Discovery of Spells! I think Karina's almost done with the cover so… Yeah! This fanfic will only be around 10 chapters long, and will last between TMOPS and MWC! MWC directly follows this, so hope you enjoy that too!
