"Where were you this morning. You promised you would meet us by the fountain." Lilac exclaimed as soon as we got into the hall. I sighed and told them everything that happened this morning.

   "Aww, poor baby. I feel bad for you now." Alice cooed.

   "Eh, it's not all that bad. At least now, I know how to do 4 spells so, go me." I said excitedly. We walked to our lockers to get our world history textbooks out when someone bumped into me.

  "Hey! Watch where you're going." I yell as I turned around to see who bumped me, and of course, with my luck, it just had to be the wicked witch (not really) of Ridgewood High, Liz Bakermen. Liz and I have hated each other since the 5th grade when she told everyone in the whole grade that I peed myself after water had fallen on me and soaked my favorite pants and every day for the next 2 years after that she bullied me until I finally grew enough balls to stand up to her and told everybody that she stuffs her bra, which I actually saw her do in the bathroom.

  "Well, if you moved out of my way, I wouldn't have run into you idiot!" I had no comeback for her quick retort so I just stood there really looking like an idiot. She gave me one last nudge with her shoulder as she walking away.

  "I swear on my magic I hate her. She needs to get taught a lesson or two about her attitude. I mean, why does she act like she owns everyone and everything? She's just such a little b-" My rant was interrupted by an ear-piercing shriek coming from Liz. I whipped in her direction and the first thing I noticed was a boy that tripped over nothing and his chocolate milk landing directly all over her. After a moment of shock and realization of what happened the entire hallway was filled with laughter.

  "Oh MY GOSH!" Liz shrieked and ran towards the girls' restroom pushing everyone who was in her way. Alice, Lilac, and I all exchanged looks before bursting out laughing. Slamming shut our lockers and deciding to flee the scene we knew I caused, we speed walking toward our AP World History class.

  *************************************************

    "Oh my gosh, please tell me that was pure karma and not me," I said when we finally got to the history room still laughing.

  "Well, it wasn't me and Nelson isn't the type to just trip over thin air, and you know he doesn't play with his chocolate milk." Alice pointed out.

  "That was so cool!" Lilac exclaimed. Lil found out about Alice and I being witches recently at one of our emergency sleepovers which happened to be the day after I got my powers. Basically, I had no control of them, and let's just say her room looked like the aftermath of a huge tornado. Since then she's only seen me and Alice do a few spells since then and still hasn't got used to it fully.

  "I know right, but you really need to start learning how to control your magic. People are going to be asking what he tripped over and how did it manage to fall perfectly on only her. There wasn't even a drop on the floor or her minions." Alice informed me.

 "I know. I was just really hoping something bad would happen to her. I didn't think anything was actually going to. I didn't even say or thought of any spell." 

  "Not all spells need to have a saying l to go along with it dummy, Emotions can produce results too." Alice informed me. I shrugged and shoved her playfully as we took our usual seats in the back of the class like we've been doing for the past 2 years since history wasn't any of our best subjects.

  The class went by in a blur, mainly because I had dozed off. Alice, Lilac, and I filed out of class as soon as the bell rang and went to our lockers to get our books for our next class, which we don't have together, and said bye to each other as we went our separate ways.

  I got to the chemistry lab 6 minutes early and saw Ms. Lenin already there. I put my stuff down claiming a seat and asked if there's anything I could do to help. She instructed me to set up the equipment for the lab that we're doing as she handed me beakers to put on the desk. Ms. Lenin walked away from me to attended to the person I heard walking in. I wasn't paying much attention as I finished up putting the rest of the beakers on the desk until Ms. Lenin called my name.

  "Yes?" I replied as I slowly turned around and saw the new boy standing next to her. Our eyes stayed on each other as he gave me the same simile he gave me before, but I was too drawn into his eyes and unnatural good looks to return the smile. I just couldn't think properly enough to move anything. He's just so beautiful and his smile is just breathtaking. He chuckled at me, finally making me come to my senses that moment of awkward staring, and gave him back a shy awkward smile before looking down at my feet.

 "This is Tristan. He just came in today. It's okay if I assign him as your new partner, right?"  Ms. Lenin said and I figured she was more of telling me to be his partner than asking, so I just nodded my head and took a seat as the bell rang and the rest of the class started piling in.

  "Hey." Tristan greeted me as he walked over to the seat next to me.

   "Hi."That's all you can say? Come on Scar.

   He cleared his throat obviously noticing the awkwardness between us. "So, what's up?"

   "Nothing really."You are so lame Scar. 

   Tristan opened his mouth to say something else when Ms. Lenin started to explain the experiment. After she finished explaining the instructions, I went straight to work. I turned the burner up to 120 degrees just as she said and reached for the beaker while Tristan poured the water and the chemical into it. 

    "So how's your first day going far?" I asked him trying to start a conversation.

    "Not as bad as I thought it would go." His eyes caught mine and the intense golden orbs held me hostage as he smiled at me. They were so beautiful and unique. I have never seen anyone in this world with eyes so gold. He turned his head away and a weird feeling waved through my veins. 

     "Your eyes are beautiful." I blurted out without thought. I was still trying to recover from the trace like feeling and felt like my thoughts were all over the place.

     "Anything I should know about this place?" 

     "The teachers are evil and the students are bloodsuckers, so watch your back." I joked as I put the beaker into the tray above the burner. 

   Tristan cleared his throat and let out an awkward laugh as he wrote down the data. I panicked wondering if my joke was lame and weird, trying to find something to say to redeem myself, and stole a glance at Tristan who happened to be staring at me deep in thought. His eyes held me captive again the I could feel the blood rushing to my cheeks, the weird feeling of being in a trance returned to me I forced my eyes to blink and look away, me being the one to clear my throat this time.

   "Something caught your eye?" I teased trying to lighten the mood and not make things awkward.

   "Yeah, you." He chuckled shaking his head before turning his attention back to the lab. 

   My heart started to race faster and faster as I thought about how unexpected his words were. I couldn't believe it, he was so blunt. My thoughts bounced around excitedly, confirming the crush on him that was forming. I tried to keep myself from jumping up and down out of my seat right then and there, but my excitement was becoming overwhelming.

BOOM!

    I shrieked as our beaker exploded, glass flew everywhere, screams from the other students filled the air. "Woah! How did that happen I thought you put it at 120?" Tristan blamed me.

  "I did! I don't know what happened!" I lied, knowing it's because of me. Way to go Scar. You're going to be a great witch.

  "What happened over here?" Ms. Lenin screamed as she ran over to our table.

  "I don't know. I put it at 120, I swear!" I said just as the bell rang.

  "Well, clean it up." Ms. Lenin commanded as everybody else started to leave.
