Prolog
It was the last day of
school. Next year my friends and I would be going to middle school. I couldn't
wait for that bell to ring. I couldn't wait for my life as a big kid to begin.
The bell rang, and I could hear
the fifth graders across the school cheer loudly as was tradition. I ran out of
the classroom along with my twin brother Andrew. We looked identical, except
for the fact I was a girl and he was a boy and he was slightly taller than me.
We had the same curly red hair, the same green eyes, and the same light skin
with freckles. I grabbed my coat and bag out of the locker we shared and ran
outside to wait for my friends.
The first one to come up was John Turner. "Hi Alexia! Hi
Andy!" He said, high-fiving me and my brother. He was a tall, blonde haired,
blue eyed boy, about the same height as my brother. I heard some girls thought
he was cute. I thought he was my friend. He was in soccer, along with my
brother. You could call them jocks, I guess.
Then came Katey Kreves. She was the same height as me, brown
eyes, and long light brown hair reaching her mid-back like me. She had played
flute in the fifth grade band. I had played percussion. We had been best
friends since third grade when she had moved here to Michigan. Andy also had a
huge crush on her. "Oh I can't wait to get home!" She said. All four of us
agreed.
Lastly, Jeff Brattle and Amber Jovel came up together. Amber
and Jeff looked sad. "Hi guys." She mumbled. Amber was small, short black hair
and shiny black eyes. She was half Chinese. She and Jeff had been in the school
choir. Jeff was also small. He had messy brown hair and blue eyes. I had met
them in the choir, but I didn't like it. We stayed friends though.
"What's wrong?" I asked her.
"My parents say I might be going to a different school then
you next year," She answered. "Jeff might be too."
"Really?" John answered. "What a coincidence! I might be
too!"
"Yeah, but it's not for certain."
"You guys can't go!" Andy said.
"Don't worry, I'll still be here," Katey replied. This
brightened Andy's face completely. Yup, pathetic. He liked her too much.
"John!" John's mother called from the car. His dad was with
her too. They were weird people. Them and Amber's parents. We could never go to
Amber's or John's house. They always made some excuse. Once I over heard them
talking at the Open House with Jeff's dad. They had mentioned something about
"muggle schools" and "I hope my child gets excepted to the school". I didn't
understand. What was a muggle? Sounded funny when I said it.
"I gotta go, see ya' later!" He said over his shoulder. He
waved and disappeared into the car.
I saw mom pull up. "Andy, that's us, we'd better go."
"Bye Katey!" He said, smiling.
"Bye guys!" I called.
We then turned our back on our
old school, our past. And we faced the future. But if I knew what was going to
happen to me in the near future, I never would have believed you. After all, magic
is something in fairy tales, right?...
Well, how is it? I spent the entire chapter
explaining characters some what. I didn't have any idea how to start it. Don't
worry, I'll have the actual story start in the next chapter.
Yes, this story takes place in Michigan,
USA.
The names of my characters, schools,
teachers, ect. are completely fake. If there is anyone who happens to have the
same name as my characters, I assure you it is complete coincidence.
Please R&R or there's no more story!
