New story! I just couldn't help myself. It just popped up in my head yesterday and I had to share it with you guys. Okay so I now I haven't finished any of my stories and please forgive me for that! It seems like I have new story ideas and then after the 1st chapter the writer's block sets in.

I hope u guys like this though, cause I do. The next chapter of "My Best Friend Fell In Love With My Brother!" (wow that's a long name) should be coming soon, tomorrow at the latest.

Enjoy and tell me how I did.

EDIT (May 4, 2013): All right! I went back and did some minor editing here, like spelling and grammar. I didn't really see anything bad here, and I liked it!

Chapter 1: How It All Began

I was walking home the school, like I would any other day. After a few embarrassing moments and run-ins with my worst enemy, Marissa, I was ready to go home.

My phone started to ring; it was my foster mom. You see, I have been bounced around from orphanage to orphanage, going to foster parents who I thought would give me a permanent home. As soon as I go, I get sent back. I know a lot of people and have made a lot of friends due to that fact, and it's always hard to leave the people you're fond of behind.

"Hello?" I answered.

"Courtney? Where are you, it's getting dark out." Kelly said. I could her laughing behind her like she was at a party. It was probably just the champagne talking; she sounded a little tipsy.

"Don't worry, Kelly." I reply. "I'm almost home, I just have to pass through the park."

"I really wish you would call me mom….." Kelly said yawning. "Well, I'll see you later."

"Bye Kelly." I hung up the phone. Kelly was nice and all, but she was a bit of an alcoholic.

I went towards the shortcut in the park like I usually did. The park was huge, and had lush green grass and expensive playground equipment. A child's dream. Since Kelly said that she would see me later, I assume that she means the day after tomorrow. Guess I'm spending my birthday alone again.

"Courtney?" A voice said from behind me. I turned to see Marissa, one of my greatest enemies.

Here's a little history between me and Marissa: Ever since the I moved into this town she's made my school life hell. The first conversation we had, I knew I would hate her.

"What happened?" She asked, taunting me. "You run away from home again?"

"What do you want?" I asked exasperated. I just wanted to go home and get some sleep.

"I have nothing to do, so I'll just poke fun until I get bored." Marissa replied picking her nails.

"What?" I said grinning slightly. "Didn't get invited to Jason's party?" Jason was the hottest guy at school. Everyone knew that Marissa had a crush on him.

"You didn't get invited either!" She retorted stomping her foot. I checked the time on my PDA. 6:00 PM.

"As a matter of fact, I did. I chose not to go." I rolled my eyes and yawned. I stayed up till 3:00 last night studying for some exams. Not like they were hard or anything, I just wanted to make sure I did my best.

"Like your parents chose not to keep you?" Marissa said. I flinched. Talking about my real parents has always been a hard topic for me.

I've never actually knew my real parents. I have no memory of them whatsoever. I've tried looking for them, but there's no record of them ever existing. It's like they disappeared off the face of the earth.

Marissa saw that I had trouble responding and chose to speak again. "Just like everyone chose to send you back?"

"Marissa," I said. She was pushing it.

"Just like they chose to -"

"Enough!" I yelled in a voice that didn't sound like my own. All I could see was pure red and all I could hear was screams.

When my vision finally cleared, I stood shocked at what I was saw. Marissa was lying on the ground, her body cut in half. Blood was pouring out of her surrounding my shoes. I screamed and stumbled backwards, only to run into another person. I looked behind me.

It was Chris McClain, the school's principal.

"I don't know what happened!" I explain panicking. "We were just arguing and this happened. It's not my fault!"

Chris rolled his eyes and laughed. I knew he was crazy, but this was on a new level.

"Don't worry, I deal with things like this all the time." Chris said. All the time?

"Could you tell me what's going on then?" I asked.

"It's simple. You're a Magi." He replied. Then everything went black.

I woke up in what looked like a regular dorm room. It was practically empty except for a lamp, the old wooden chair in the corner and the bed I happened to be sitting on. The metal door creaked open. A blonde woman who looked like she was in a early thirties came into the room. "You're awake!" she said.

"I'm Blaineley, headmistress of this school. Don't worry about your stuff, it's all in your new dorm." Blaineley said. She snapped her fingers and a notepad and pen appeared right in front of her.

I must be dreaming. There's no way this could be happening!

"Did they give me the death sentence?" I asked. Blaineley rolled her eyes and started to speak. "Listen. You got angry and accidentally used your power to kill. Chris comes so no one suspects anything and brings you here to start your new life. Do you understand?"

"I think so." I said. "But what about Kelly?"

"Kelly?" she asked confused, "Oh her. We erased all existence of you from the human world."

"What!" I said.

"I know exciting right!"

"Not exciting!" I said. "Where am I?"

"Welcome to Empire Academy: School for Magis."

:P There it is! :D

Next chapter coming soon.
