Chapter 1 Terrace Doors

"What, where, how, why; Alex" screamed my Dad. What does he want now I thought, I don't remember deliberately doing anything wrong, then again it is about the time the previous semester report cards come through the post, and I was paying more attention to Riley than my lessons, then again school is pointless anyway so what's the big deal. "Alex, now" my Dad screamed. That's my queue got to and see what he wants.

"What, dad" I screamed. "Why is there no glass in the terrace doors?" he asked. "Phew this is not about my complete F- score this semester, which is a record even for me cause I manage at least an F in a couple of subjects." I said a bit too loudly, just as Mum walked in who was angry about the report card, but by the time, she had seen the terrace doors she was fire woman. "Alex, tell me what you did to the terrace doors", my mother asked, still in full flames. "Why do you always blame me", I asked. "Alex, I don't have time for your games just tell me…" she was cut off in her sentence by Max entering the room with two half's of a wand instead of a full wand. "My wand" my Dad screamed, and then he did his famous: "Alex, Wand, Alex, Wand, ALEX". Somehow, he always lands on me.

"Fine, last Tuesday I was playing wizard games one of them included shooting various objects through the terrace door and well…" I stopped mid-sentence.

"I don't like where this is going" My mum whispered to Dad who gave me his look

"Max-forgot-to-animate-the-door" I screamed and ran off in a similar fashion to harpers: "Se-ya-in-p.e".

My dad was soo angry so now would not be a good time to return his wallet that I took fifty bucks out to go to the mall. I did the unthinkable that minute I went to:… Harpers House. Me and Harper had both agreed never to hang out at her place. Her Parents were to annoying and pushy, not to mention O.T.T.

Now would be a good time to go to the Mall I thought, after Harper who was as annoyed with her parents as I was with mine, for completely different reasons agreed we went to the Milkshake Bar in the centre of the mall. I got a Toffee and chocolate, like always ever since we were at kindergarten we had been friends and for longer than that, I have liked Toffee and chocolate milkshakes. I knew it was coming but when Harper asked why I was in trouble, it caught me off guard, I obviously couldn't tell her about wizardry so I said I was playing games on the terrace and broke the window. It wasn't lying just leaving out specific bits of important information. Well yeah, I was lying but what can you expect from the queen of lies. Truth is for losers like Justin, that explains why Harper likes him but you know. "Trust, you to irresponsible, if magic existed like in the Harry Potter stories you would probably be just as irresponsible with that", said Harper. I smiled knowingly and nodded this day was just getting a tiny bit weird.

When I eventually returned to my house, I was greeted by my mother who told me if I did not clear up the mess on the terrace she would clean up the couch and TV, not a chance I'm willing to take so I went out to terrace. "Roomius Fixus" I cleaned the terrace but it was a weird spell I didn't even think kit would work, maybe I invented a new spell Justin will be soo jealous the terrace isn't even a room. Got it fixed that's the main thing and when my report card came mum and dad were soo busy thinking about the terrace they didn't even notice my unauthorised absences.

"Alex, don't think mum and dad won't go to open house tomorrow night," Justin said in my head

"Justin, get out of my thoughts"- Me

"Ok, I will get out, but you're in trouble tomorrow"-Justin

"Justin, Out"-Me

"Ok, Ok going"- Justin

At last now how will I get mum and dad to avoid Open house I know Justin's beloved tortilla petition: revenge on Justin and mum and dad absent at the Open House double win for me, yah.
