Welcome back for chapter eight. This chapter will be in Kali's point of view. Enjoy.
PS: I'm getting a lot of feedback saying that I have some plot issues and holes. For that, I apologize. I tend to forget myself at times and I will try really hard to not make it happen any more. Enjoy. : )

Drawn To You

I just stared at Cole in complete and utter shock at what came out of his mouth. I looked at Justin and his expression matched mine. Cole looked at the two of us and just laughed. "You know me, Kali, so this shouldn't come as a shock to you. I've always been able to spot wizards from a mile away. You can thank mom and dad for that one." I watched Cole just stare at us while he ate his sandwich, a smile slowly growing on his face. "Sit down, guys. Let me explain something to you." Justin and I sat down at the table with Cole and watched his every movement, anxious of what he was going to do next. "Justin, just because I know that you're a wizard doesn't mean that I'm going to blab it to the entire city of New York. If Kali hasn't told you, our family is a wizarding family. Well, with the exception of me whenever the council decides to understand that I've already forfeited this competition." Justin did a double take, looked at me and then looked back at Justin. "Was it something I said, Justin?"

"You forfeited?"

"Yeah. My girlfriend isn't a wizard and I wasn't prepared to hide something like that from her for the rest of my life so I told the council what the deal was and they're taking forever to actually react to it."

"I've never heard of anyone giving up."

"I didn't give up, Justin. I made a sacrifice for the one I love." Justin just nodded as a smile formed on his face.

"I understand that. That's what my dad did so he could be with my mom."

"Then, you should know why I did it." Justin nodded again and I could see him relax in his chair. "But seriously, relax a little. I wouldn't tell anyone about it, anyway." Cole took another bite of his sandwich and I decided to grab a drink out of the fridge.

"Want something to drink, guys?"

"Can you get a root beer for me, Kali?"

"Sure. Want one, Justin?"

"Sure." I walked to the fridge, grabbed three root beers and sat back down at the table. "So, are your parents wizards too?" Cole and I both nodded as we were drinking our root beers. "What do they do?"

"Mom is in fashion merchandising and Dad is the creative designer for some big company, I forget the name of it."

"That's really awesome."

"How about your parents, Justin?"

"They run a sub shop in the city."

"Is that where Kali got the sandwich?"

"Yeah."

"My compliments to whoever made it."

"I'll relay the message." I finished my root beer, stood up and grabbed my bag.

"Well, Justin and I have homework to do so we'll meet up with you later Cole."

"Won't be here. Liz and I are shopping again."

"Geez, don't sound so excited."

"This is tiring and I'm afraid that we might not be able to afford it."

"Cole, money is not an issue with you two and you know it." Cole shrugged, obviously not believing me and it made me roll my eyes. "Her parents told you a thousand times that they would pay for it and so did ours. Therefore, money is not your issue and you know it." I glanced over at Justin and it looked like he was getting uncomfortable so I decided to drop the subject. "This conversation is far from over, Cole. Know that."

"I do, Kali." Cole wiped his hands on the napkin, stood up and extended his hand to Justin. "Nice meeting you, Justin. I hope I can see you more often, thanks to Kali if she's smart." I felt my face turn beet red from embarrassment and I could tell that what Cole just said either didn't sink in or went straight over Justin's head.

"Nice meeting you too, Cole. I'm glad to have finally met you after hearing Kali talk about you."

"Good things, I hope."

"They were."

"Alright. Well, you two get your homework done. Kali, tell Mom and Dad that I'll be with Liz again tonight."

"Will do." I looked at Justin and smiled. "Follow me, Justin." I watched Justin grab his bag and follow me down the hall to my room. I mumbled a cleaning spell under my breath and opened the door, smiling when I saw that the spell actually worked. I looked up and my face turned red again. I had completely forgotten that I had put up my display for my Captain Jim Bob Sherwood comics the day we moved here...and they were right in front of Justin.

-FIN-
