Chapter 1: The First Message
Alex Russo and her best friend Harper quietly talked in the bustling hallways at school. They laughed at Gigi and her friends as they walked the hallways bald, all because of them. "Oh, gosh. Harper, look!" Alex said excitedly. Harper turned her head and looked towards where Alex was staring.
"Oh, you mean Dean!" Harper exclaimed loudly. She had a huge smile on her face. Alex glared at her.
"No, not Dean, the trash can next to him. Of course, Dean! Could you have said it any louder!?" Alex said. Harper frowned. They saw Dean casually make his way over to them.
Dean smiled. "Hey, Russo! Hey, Harper!" Alex stood frozen and dazed at his smile. She fiddled with her fingers and tried to smile. She straightened her hair a bit, and then tried to find her voice.
"H-Hi, Dean!" Alex said finally. She could feel her heart beating restlessly, and there was lump in her throat.
"What's up?" He said. He leaned against the lockers. Alex gave Harper a look and Harper tried not to laugh.
"Nice… Pencil!" Alex said. She immediately scolded herself.
Dean gave her a baffled look. "Okay, thanks? I'll see you guys later. I gotta get to class."
Alex whimpered. "I can't believe I said that! Ugh, why does this always happen to ME?!"
Harper smiled dreamily, "Let's talk about something waaaay more interesting! Justin!"
Alex's nose crinkled up. "Justin, ew. He's not even close to…" She started before she looked at her watch. "Ugh, the bell's going to ring in like a minute. Let's go! I don't want Mr. Malloy yelling at us again."
They walked hurriedly and sat down. Alex stared up at the board as Mr. Malloy said hello to everyone and wrote a problem on the board. She felt her phone vibrate and sneakily opened it: New Message. She glanced at Harper, but she was busily jotting things down in her notebook. Okaaaay, I wonder who's texting me… Alex clicked the read message button and stared at her phone in disbelief:
Hey, Alex! How was your conversation with Dean? Wasn't it just magical?
After all, you should know a thing or two about Magic, right! –Love, A
Alex's breathe caught in her throat. She felt her pulse beat rapidly. This person was obviously joking, right? It had to be a misunderstanding. She checked the number, but it was blocked. "Who are you?" Alex said as she typed back. In a matter of seconds another text appeared.
Awww, Alex! Why would I tell you who I am?
That would ruin all the fun, wouldn't it?
Watch out 'Russo'! –XOXO, A.
Alex could feel her heart pound inside her chest. She didn't know what to think at the moment. First off, how could anyone know her secret? Harper… no, she wouldn't do something like that, would she? "MISS RUSSO!" There was a shout.
Everyone turned to stare at Alex. Alex's head snapped up, and she slid her phone into her pocket swiftly. "W-what?" She stuttered. Mr. Malloy stood there, looking annoyed. Someone snickered and giggles could be heard: Gigi and her friends.
"I asked you what the properties of this wave are." He said. Alex felt heat rush to her cheeks. She had no idea what was going on, and worst of all, people were staring at her.
"Uh, the properties of that wave, Mr. Malloy, are simple. Um, there's the thing and the other thing…" Alex tried desperately.
Mr. Malloy rolled his eyes. "People! This is literally second grade science. What is wrong with you guys?"
Alex winced. Finally, after a terrible day at school, she came home. She sulked down into the couch and rubbed her eyes. Just then, the door to her home opened. Justin, her 'wonderful' brother, walked in. Alex jumped up. "It was you! I knew it! I'm not stupid."
Justin stared at her annoyed and confused. "Yeah, okay, I admit it. I am Mom and Dad's favorite."
Alex glared at him. "Don't you give me that innocent little… ugh! You sent it! Didn't you! Admit it."
Justin sat down and set his bag down along with him. "Look, Alex. Are you okay? What are you talking about?" Alex looked at him. His face was honestly confused. It seemed like it couldn't have been him…
"Ha! Just kidding! I got you!" She said. She felt so stupid. Justin would never be that clever! "Okay, well I'm just gonna… go!"
Just then, another beep came from her phone. Alex nervously opened the text message.
I wonder what Justin would think if he found out about the thoughts you've been having!
Naughty, naughty! Xoxo- A
