Chapter 3: First Day at Camp

'This didn't accomplish what I had hoped for.' Alex thought with still a look of shock on her face and then spoke. "Why, if it's because of all the pranks and things, I can stop that. Really those no need for boot camp." Alex said trying to get out of it.

"Too late Alex, You'll be picked up about now." Jerry said and then a wizard appeared in the house. "On time, which is slightly scary."

"I am Sergeant Jacob White, and we make sure to train all of our cadets to do the same and more." Jacob said holding three fingers up right above his brow and then quickly and forcefully lowered them in a salute.

"So what is so special about this boot camp?" Theresa asked curiously.

"It's a boot camp for unruly Wizards both full and otherwise." Jacob said and then turned to Alex and pointed and both Theresa and Jerry nodded. "Go quickly pack your bags and I would suggest using magic for this may be the last time you ever use it." There wasn't even an evil smile on his face which made Alex slightly more comfortable. "Now there are those that aren't wizards there and they never were wizards, there parents just found them well, like Miss Russo." Alex's suitcase came flying down the steps and then into her hands. "Say goodbye Alex."

Alex went over and gave her parents a hug. "Please don't make me go; I swear I'll do better." Her parents gave her a quick kiss and then patted Alex away. "This isn't fair, I'm twenty one, and I shouldn't have to go." Theresa and Jerry blew a kiss to Alex and then the two disappeared.

Soon the two appeared in a giant field right outside of a giant building. "Let me give you the tour Cadet Russo." Alex sighed and then rolled her eyes.

Justin walked back into the house and didn't notice Alex anywhere. "Justin, where have you been?" Theresa asked worried about Justin.

"I just came back to grab my atm and then I'll be out again. I'm buying myself a building that's dying out." Justin said getting ready to head upstairs.

"Justin, you saved up all that money for school. You've got hundreds of thousands of dollars and you going to risk it all on some establishment that's about to go out of business." Theresa said shocked by her son's idea. "What about all the plans that you had?"

"Those went away with my magic that I do intend to get back." Justin said harshly and then went up the stairs and into his room to grab his wallet. Quickly he came back down and out the door.

Back at boot camp Alex had just been shown where everything is and is now at the girls' dorm. "You'll have that bed." Jacob said and pushed her towards the bed and then left.

"Rude much." Alex said and then looked for her bed but half the beds had no one on them. Then a voice came from one of the top bunks.

"You're right under me." A person said.

"Thanks but I don't intend to stay here for too long so don't think I'll be there for long." Alex said sitting down on her bed.

"You're not getting out of here, I've tried but it wasn't worth trying." The person said.

"I'm a master though and" Before Alex could finish, the person spoke again.

"Yeah and I'm better then you unless you've gotten a lot better since school huh Alex." The person leaned over her bunk.

Alex's eyes went wide when she saw the person. "Stevie, what are you doing here?" Alex asked surprised.

"I'm an unruly person Alex, or at least I was. I suggest you just do what they say Alex." Stevie said with a small smile on her face.

"I don't follow the man." Stevie chuckled a little. "Tell you what, once I figure out how to get out, you'll come with me." Alex offered.

"No Alex, I'm fine here. Besides without magic, you'll never get out. So I suggest you get all the sleep that you can Alex because we wake up early." Then a woman with a towel wrapped around her came out of the bathroom. "My turn for a shower."

"There aren't very many people here are there?" Alex asked.

"The others are all showering; you'll get use to showering with other people Alex. Stevie said stripping down and then grabbed a towel and wrapped it around her. "There aren't enough places for clothes, only towels and so we strip here instead of in the shower." Stevie said as she walked toward the showers.

"Ok no way, I've got to get out of here." Alex said and then sat down. Alex then wondered where she is because no way she is New York or people take showers in the middle of the day and that just seemed stupid. Alex looked at her watch and noticed that it's five o'clock. "How didn't I notice this earlier?" Alex laid down on her bed and then began to fall asleep. "It was only lunch time in New York and speaking of which, I'm hungry." Alex took a deep breath and then another person walked out of the shower area but fully clothed. She walked over to Alex and stared at her. "Do you have a problem?" Alex asked with a brow raised.

"No but you will if you continue to talk to me like that. I'm Sergeant Bailey Hanson but to you it's yes Ma'am, or Miss Hanson. Anything else and well, you'll see. Did you bring a towel?" Sergeant Hanson asked.

"No Ma'am." Alex said mocking her.

"So you want to play it that way do you Russo, fine I'll play it that way." Sergeant Hanson said as she pulled Alex up off the bed and then pushed her away. "Now you can either strip yourself or I can help you but either way, you're taking a shower."

Back at home, Theresa and Jerry were thinking about some things. "Maybe we should have let her stay." Theresa said.

"How long would she really keep her promise to not use magic like she does? Somehow she has to learn that just because everyone knows about us, she can't use magic the way she does." Jerry said and then headed downstairs to put the closed sign up for today.
