A/n: The second chapter to Cassandra's Story. I'm open to ideas on better titles.
Chapter 2
The Letter
The rest of her birthday had gone smoothly. It was only her immediate family though. Janet and Shana, her best friends, had both gone on vacation. Cassandra didn't mind though.
"It was almost nicer," she thought, "with just family here." After her special birthday lunch her dad asked her to get the mail.
"There might be a surprise in it," he said. Thinking it was another birthday present she ran to get it. Then she came back to the kitchen, searching fiercely for the surprise.
"Hey," she said, "There's only this thick letter."
"Well, open it," her older sister, Leslie, said impatiently. Cassandra did. She started reading and couldn't believe it.
Cassandra put it down and, laughing, said," This is impossible."
"No, Cassandra," her dad said steadily, it's not." Cassandra looked at her dad with surprise and then with accusation.
"You knew," she said, "You went to that school didn't you?" Cassandra went on without waiting for an answer.
"You knew I was a wizard and you never told me?" she screamed. Crying she ran up to room. She could hear her mom shouting questions at her dad.
"Good," Cassandra thought,"Let her be as surprised as I am!" With that, Cassandra threw herself on to her bed and let her crying take over.
