Vanessa, Miranda, and Agnes found that they weren't allowed to explore the school building as much as they wanted so they just hung outside in the garden at the front of the academy.

The three of them sat on a bench. Vanessa stared at the flowers, Agnes looked down at her lap with a thoughtful expression, while Miranda leaned back with her eyes closed.

Suddenly, Agnes broke the awkward silence "So guys, who's going to be our dorm leader?"

Miranda replied, "Angel's not here, so there's no point. Blondie sticks to her like glue and drags her like she's her lil' doll or something."

Vanessa commented "Childhood friends huh? I guess I can't blame them for being that close."

Miranda asked Vanessa if she had her own childhood friend to be clingy with.

"Well, staying close to each other, hanging out together, and talking a lot together. Yes. Clingy? No."

Agnes asked Vanessa if her childhood friend was at camp as well.

"Well, no. She doesn't know I'm a witch and I don't know the age range for this camp."

Agnes replied, "You didn't read the camp brochure?"

"Mom signed me up on short notice so she probably hid it from me…"

Miranda recalled that Queenie mentioned that Vanessa didn't know anything about the world of witchcraft. "So, your fam hid everything from you. That's crazy."

Vanessa explained that her family pretended to be normal to keep her from feeling bad because she turned out to be a late bloomer when it came to her powers.

Agnes said "It's alright, if you have any questions about magic and witch society you can ask me. Google probably wouldn't help you." Agnes paused to lift her thick glasses before continuing to speak "As for the camp's age range, it's for witches 16 and older."

"Even if Sakura was a witch, there's no way she would've made it in then."

Miranda and Agnes were curious as to how young Sakura was.

"She's 15."

Agnes's mouth gaped open while Miranda raised her brows in awkwardness. Miranda asked Vanessa whether she had any childhood friends the same age as her. Vanessa shook her head. She did have friends who were the same age as her once but they all separated and lost contact.

"Damn. Well, that's life. So, what you guys wanna do? Go back to our dorm?"

Agnes suggested that they could all introduce each other better. Vanessa agreed that it was an excellent idea. They told some random facts about each other and they learned more things about each other. It turned out that Vanessa and Miranda came from the same city but Vanessa lived in the eastside while Miranda was in the west. Agnes came from a nearby city. Miranda clarified that she was pure Cambodian, not black mixed Asian.

From where they were sitting, they could see Angel, Elizabeth and her roommates approach them from the side. They were giggling and it could be heard for miles away. Vanessa and Miranda were grossed out by the sound of their laughter while Agnes frowned. They could see Angel wasn't laughing but stood at the back of the group. When Angel finally noticed them, she walked forward with a hand held up to say hi.

Elizabeth followed right behind which caused her roommates to follow as well.

A brunette girl commented "So, Angel these are your roommates? They look so… unrefined. A gangster girl, a girl who doesn't notice the warm weather, and look at those white glasses!"

Miranda retorted "Well, my friend doesn't want her arms to be as burnt as yours plus we ain't all got mommies and daddies who'll give us an easy life and money to spend on our damn looks. Look at you, you can't even tan right, you look like yo' ass got boiled."

The brunette was mortified "W-What did you say? Burnt?" Her attitude took an a more confident demeanor and asked "Would you like to get extra crispy? You're already getting there."

"We'll see who gets burnt!" Miranda stood up and with a snap, flame lit up between her fingertips.

Agnes quickly pulled Miranda's left arm while Vanessa grabbed Miranda's upper arm and were trying to hold her back. Thanks to Vanessa holding on to her arm unexpectedly, Miranda's flame extinguished as quickly as it came.

"Stop Miranda, she isn't worth it." Agnes tried to calm Miranda down.

"Just because y'all are fine with Blondie and her little minions stepping all over you doesn't mean I am!"

"Stop calling me Blondie! It's ELIZABETH!"

Miranda retorted "Well, you didn't like Lizzie or Beth~."

Elizabeth argued angrily that those weren't her names while making hand gestures which caused a little fireball to fly out of her hands and explode a distance in front of the three. The three of them leaned back in unison but the aftereffect of the explosion caused the girls to bounce into the garden hedges.

Fortunately, they only had leaves stuck to their disheveled hair and clothes and minor aches. They all grunted from the pain but another one of Elizabeth's roommates had to add to the fire by saying "Well, that's what you get for crossing Elizabeth. You all belong in a dump heap."

Vanessa and Agnes got frustrated while Miranda gritted her teeth and her body temperature rose, which made Vanessa and Agnes let go of her arms. Miranda was going to channel a bigger fire ball in her hands until a male voice shouted out "What is going on here?!"

A tall Latino male rushed out onto the scene. "Y'all shouldn't be fighting each other with magic, this isn't a supervised duel. You lucky the garden hedges only lost a few leaves."

Vanessa hysterically yelled "We didn't do anything!"

The Latino male looked at Vanessa and asked "Queenie? WTF, you could've dodged it or better yet, stop the fight."

"Again?! I'm not Queenie! I'm her cousin!"

The Latino male walked closer to the garden hedges and looked like he was going to hit her which made Vanessa flinch. He held his arm half way "Oh, you ain't Q. My bad."

"What?! You were gonna hit a girl? What kind of friend are you?"

"The sparring kind."

Vanessa inspected the male and noted that he was really attractive and he had an earring on each ear. That caused her to be stunned into silence.

He smiled brightly while holding a hand behind his head "Your hair is short too. My bad."

Vanessa could only nod while blushing. Luckily, the boy let them off the hook in deference to his sparring partner and even helped girls off the garden hedge. He told both the groups of girls to go back to their dorms as punishment. Miranda asked him what right he had to punish them. The boy stated that he was their upperclassmen who presided over the Leo dorms.

"I don't wanna see this sh*t happen again. Is that understood?"

Everyone responded in the affirmative and left towards their dorm rooms. Back in Room 708, Agnes brought up the topic of who was going to be dorm leader. Vanessa said she would only do it if no one else would do it, Miranda didn't care for the job, Angel didn't want to do it which meant that Agnes would be the dorm leader.

~Nighttime~

After her usual prayer, Vanessa said "Hey Miranda, to be honest. I thought you were a gangster."

"No, you right. I am."

"What?"

"Goodnight Vanessa~."

"Goodnight Miranda."

Later, Vanessa was woken up by the sound of her phone vibrating which was strange since she didn't put it in that mode. Vanessa wondered who could be calling her in the middle of the night. Without thinking, she answered the call.

"H-Hello?"

A blue light spread from her cellphone and covered her entire being. A flash of light burst and she disappeared…
