Chapter 1
Episode 1 Part 1: Two Half Witches
"Have you got everything honey? Got your bag, books, oh have you got your lunch I've packed you?" , "Yeeesss…. mom…." I answer back to my excited mother who was probably more excited than I was for starting high school today. New school, new friends, new classes and not only that it was a mortal high school! Mom and I hug each other as she begins to whisper in my ear "and if you meet a Libby….", "Do not turn them into a pineapple!" I answer back to Mom as we both giggled.
My name is Felicity Kinkle-Spellman and I'm a half witch well. I was born to my human dad Harvey and witch mom Sabrina. On my sixteenth birthday last year I was gifted a spell book from my mom and a cauldron from my great aunts, Aunt Hilda and Aunt Zelda. That was when they informed me about my witch side and then revealing that they were witches themselves too (Mom also a half witch). Dad is full human and knows all about them being witches and the witchy world.
So, between now and then, I've been having private magic tutoring lessons with Mom and Great Aunt Hilda who often comes to visit. Great Aunt Hilda makes me laugh while Mom is a little more serious. Great Aunt Hilda keeps telling Mom, she's becoming Great Aunt Zelda every day. We all laugh.
My younger brother Anthony also knows that Mom's a half witch too along with our Great Aunts and the rest of our family on our mom's side. He currently does not show any signs of magic but is looking forward for when he turns sixteen to see if he does. Dad always explains to him that if it happens it happens and if it doesn't don't be upset, you'll still be cool!
"Hey Flic, your bus is almost here! Are you ready?" cries Dad while coming into the kitchen, "Why is Flic, getting all the attention today?" asks Anthony who was following Dad in the room. "Now, now, it will be your turn in two years! Just be patient darling!" Mom tells him while rubbing his head and kissing him on the cheek.
Soon I hear a beeping sound coming from outside and Mom says to me as she gives me one last hug and so does Dad. I grab my school bag and head out the door. "Here, here's some lunch money just in case!". "Harv!" Mom yells at home as I bid everyone goodbye.
Soon I found myself standing at the front doors of the school. I froze as I watched all the other teens entering showing no nerves at all. "Are you right there?" I hear a voice coming from behind, I closed my eyes as I turned around to see who was speaking to me.
As I turned round, I open my eyes to see a cute looking guy smiling at me. "Hi, you were on the bus just now, weren't you?" he says to me "Yeah I guess I was on a bus!" I say to him nervously. He grinned at me just before an older teen lightly punch him in the arm "Good luck today man!" the teen says to him.
"Ouch, geez thanks bro!" the boy said to the older boy as the older boy made his way through the doors with some of his friends. I then nervously smiled back at the boy "First day?", the boy smiles back to me "You've guessed it! You too?". I nodded back to him as i introduce myself "My name is Felicity, but everyone calls me Flic!" and I shook his hand. The boy did the same as he shook my hand "Flic that's a cool name! My name is Xavier and that was my older brother Dylan, he is three years older almost a senior".
The two of us enter and just as we expected there was more teens running around the locker covered halls and teachers running around towards classrooms. As we walked together there was a big sign on one of the bulletin boards attentions to new students informing them where their homerooms were.
There was a small crowd looking at the board and a tall girl was pushing her way through. My guess was she is going to be our years popular girl…like a Libby who was the popular and snobby girl when mom was in High School. As she pushed through, Xavier and I watched as she pushed away a shorter girl who was as the front with glasses. "HEY!" cried the short girl "You were in my way!" cried the tall girl. Xavier and I looked at each other as through that any minute now a source of bullying was about to begin.
However something amazing happened before our very eyes, Xavier and I became shocked when the short glasses wearing girl stood up for herself "Why don't you get yourself a pair of glasses!" she cried. All the teens around all made a "Oooooooing" sound before the tall girl put her hands on her hips "I do not speak nerd!" she says back to the short girl before walking off. Xavier and I watched as the group of teens either followed her or went their own ways.
As the tall girl walked off with her head held high the short girl cried out "What makes you think I am a nerd? Just because I wear glasses doesn't make me a nerd!", the tall girl just continued to laugh as she walked away. Xavier and I were the only ones left as the bulletin board and the short girl saw us. Her face was angry and scary looking until a teacher came towards us advising us that the bell is about to ring and that we should be heading to our home rooms. The teacher also advised the girl for not shouting next time.
The three of us looked for our home room and began to head towards it. We were all thankfully in the same home room. "That was amazing what you did back there!" says Xavier to the girl "Oh really? Thanks, there is always one in every school!" she answers back to him. I then ask her what she meant by that. She then explained that her family have moved a lot which meant she had to change schools a lot in elementary school "Hopefully now that I am in high school, my family and I will stay put for a while! By the way my name is Nicola, but your welcome to call me Nic".
Xavier and I also introduced ourselves and three of us began to walk to find our home room. The bell rings just as we spotted the right room. As we walk in we all gowned when we saw that the tall girl from before was in there along with most of the kids surrounding her mainly boys. We stood in the doorway as a teacher (obviously our home room teacher) comes up behind us. "Come along kids, your either in here or you're not! Please move out of the way!" the female teacher informs us as her tone of voice made us jump.
Xavier, Nic and I all walked in and found three desks available close to each other. "Quiet down everyone! Please take a seat!" the female teacher begins to speak "I am your home room teacher Ms Wood; I also teach Biology, and I look forward to getting to know all of you!". Ms Wood then takes out a list from her file that she was carrying and sits at the teacher's desk. She then informs as that she will call our names to obtain our individual timetables.
"So what subjects are you two doing?" asks Nic as Ms Wood began to call out names "Oh the normal English, Math, then Biology, Gym Class, Spanish and Georgraphy!" I answer back to her "Wow looks like you have Ms Wood as you Biology teacher then! Says Xavier "Looks like it!" I answer to him while I looked at Ms Wood.
"Yay! We are in the same classes for Geography and Spanish! What made you choose these subjects Flic?" asks Nic "Oh…travel, I love to travel the world is an amazing place!" I answer back to her cheerfully while in the back of my mind she had no idea that I have already been learning how to fly on a broomstick. "and you Xavier? What subjects are you doing?" I ask him "Pretty much the same as you apart from the language and geography, instead I am doing art/design and photography!" Xavier happily informs us with an excited grin.
"Amelia Flint!" Ms Wood's voice shouted towards the class. Xavier, Nic and I all looked around the room along with a few of the other teens and who should get up was the tall girl who was pushing everyone around at the bulletin board. She walked gracefully towards Ms Wood with a sweet smile on her face. "I'm sorry Ms Wood! Only mummy & daddy goes me that! Thank you for my timetable!" Amelia sweetly tells Ms Wood. Ms Wood hands Amelia her timetable "What would you rather be known as?" she asks the girl "Amy is fine, you're looking at the next head cheerleader!" Amy happily informs the teacher.
Ms Wood just looks at her and smiles, however you could tell that it wasn't a real smile. Something was telling us that Ms Wood wasn't going to put up with any nonsense. "I look forward to getting to know you this year and good luck for the try outs!" Ms Wood calmly says to Amy before getting out another timetable. "Felicity Kinkle-Spellman!" the teacher yells and it was my name. I got up and began to walk towards the teacher. As I walk past Amy, she gives me a bump with her shoulder "Hey!" I yell to her "Oops sorry!" she simply says before giggling and returning to her seat.
I continue my way and Ms Wood smiled at me "Hello Miss Kinkle-Spellman, I see that you will be in my Biology Class! I look forward to getting to know you!" she says to me in a gentle tone of voice. I reach out to grab my timetable off her "Same to you Ms Wood, thank you!" I simply say to her before turning around to return to my seat. After me Nic was called "Nicola Nelson" and she got up. I got to my seat and saw that Xavier was looking at me strangely. "Everything ok Xavier?" I ask him "Your last name is Spellman?" he asks me in shock "Kinkle-Spellman, they are my dad's and mom's last names" I simply tell him.
I watch as Xavier goes as pale as a ghost "Xavier? Is everything ok? Hello Earth to Xavier?" I cry out to him. "Xavier Wandsworth! Now how did that one get out of alphabetical order?" yells Ms Wood as Xavier gets up to receive his timetable. I watch him as Nic sits down "Flic? Are you alright?" she asks me "I'm not sure!" I inform her.
