Recap- The day passed in a daydream, people wishing me happy birthday, people stopping me in the hall, until lunchtime………
Walking into the dinner hall, I did my usual sweep of the hall to see if any of my other friends were absent.
My eyes rested on the table next to my usual. A brown-haired boy sat all alone, he looked scared and uneasy. A sudden urge came over my mind to go and ease his fears. But as predictable, Dominic and Jayne grabbed my elbows and dragged me to our table.
Looking back to the boy I saw an auburn haired boy joining him with two girls following dragging three 6th formers
"Al, I don't think we're allowed in here," said the blond boy that the pixie-shaped girl, with black spiky hair was pulling.
"Yeah, I think Jasper's right." That was the blonde haired lass being dragged by the other girl but she had wavy brown hair.
"Aww Emmett. You'll sit with us won't you" the brown haired lass almost begged the lad who wasn't being dragged.
"To right I will" the boy I presumed was called Emmett nearly shouted and bounded over to sit next to the scared looking kid. His companions just gave up and joined him.
"Nat, Nat, Natalya. Oi you!" suddenly Alexandria's voice shook me out of my eavesdropping
"What. I'm here"
"No, you're not. You away with the fairies in La La land, what I asked was, what did Jayne get you?"
I looked over to Jayne, she was busy talking to Dominic, so I decided now was a good time, since I forgot at break, due to my need of copying Josh's physics homework.
"Alright then here goes."
Diving into my bag I pulled out the box, carefully undid the bow, lifted the lid and stared in. Screaming I stood up and ran straight at Jayne and practically hugged the life out of her.
Tony, who always seems to have a comment about every thing, bent down close so only our table could hear and said
"What cha get her Jayne, a crystal ball?"
I don't know how it occurred but the next thing I knew, Dominic was rushing towards Tony with rage in his eyes and his fists clenched. I, automatically, stepped between them and placed a palm on each of their chests and tried to push them apart.
"Come on guys, we all know you're not gonna fight."
"Why?" Tony retorted, "Did you see it? Are we all at the mercy of your powers?"
"No, I know the two of you ain't gonna fight for two reasons." I turned to Tony. "One, I know he'll win because even I can beat you down with one punch." Dominic's turn "Dom do you really want his blood on your shirt?"
Tony just walked off looking hurt that he couldn't show how macho he was. Tsk men. Dominic lifted my chin to talk to me
"Are you alright?"
"I certainly am, do you think I can't pull you out of trouble and still look good?"
I sat down in the vacant space next to Jayne before Dominic could reclaim his seat. Alexandria pushed the box over to me and I pulled out the contents.
There were 3 small pouches, each a different colour, and 3 pocket sized books coloured to match their corresponding pouch
The black pouch contained 7 different crystals- amethysts, lodestone, garnet, topaz, cubic zirconia, ruby and sapphire.
The red pouch contained a set of casting runes and finally the deep purple pouch contained a pack of 'original Rider Waite' tarot cards.
"Ach Mein Gott." (*German= oh my God*)
" I thought I'd get you something to help you with your gift. Also these all used to belong to my great, great, great, great auntie, or something, when she lived in London, she gave these to her sister before she moved to America. Her grand daughter got chucked in an asylum due to her visions."
""Wow, I hope that doesn't happen to you Nat."
"Me too, Soph, Me too." I just had to say.
I was half way through eating my cereal bar lunch when everyone stood up.
"Will we be seeing you outside today?" Crystal inquired
"I'm sorry but no I want to try my hand at reading tarot cards"
