"It'll all be okay." I said. "Umm, not to be rude, but why doesn't anyone like you but Claudia and me?"

"Claudia and I, but I don't really think she likes me much either." was her reply. "I think... I think they are afraid of my magic."

"Why?" I asked. "I have very rare and powerful magic."

"I'm not afraid! Does that mean I'm powerful too?"

"Sure." she said, smiling. The nurse came back into the room.

"I'm glad your awake, but you have to go to lunch now." We went into the dining hall, where the head mistress was giving a speech. She turned to glare at us.

"Girls! You are late! And where are your uniforms?" Oh no! Trouble on the first day? "Put on your uniforms and don't be late again!"

"But she was in the nurse's office, and I had to stay with her, so we didn't get uniforms or schedules!" I blurted. I knew I shouldn't have, but I couldn't help it. Her glare didn't lessen.

"Go to the secondary mistress's office and get your things, but I don't want any more trouble from you!". We walked to the second mistress's office. Eve looked shocked at getting in trouble.

"Never been in trouble before?" I asked.

She shook her head no, and replied "Have you ever been in trouble before, and I'm more interested in the fact that you got away with sassing the head mistress." Awkward silence...

"That makes sense, I said, trying to end the quiet. I opened the door. We walked inside and told the secondary mistress what we needed. She rang a bell and a servant brought us tea, while she got us our things. Mmm! Mine was cinnamon! My favorite!When she handed us our schedules I looked at mine and cried, "Siren song! Don't you have woodshop?"

"Only inventors witches get that class." said the secondary mistress, looking slightly surprised. "Well I don't have siren song either, so can I transfer?" I asked.

1"You can only transfer if you are a technician witch." was her reply. "Try me." I said, thinking, "I shouldn't be doing this! I shouldn't be doing this!" The secondary mistress and the tea lady exchanged a glance. She pulled a mangled cuckcoo clock out of the drawer and handed it to me.

"If you can fix this I'll let you transfer."

"Is this okay?", I asked pulling a mini screw driver out of my bra, and swiping, everything off of her desk.

"Young lady!-"

"Sorry, I'm about to zone out." I opened the clock and dumped the mangled contents onto her desk.

"Excuse me, but when is this due?" was the last thing I heard before zoning out. I'm sure Eve said it. My hands flew across the clock with inhuman precision. They glowed their usual purple, with silver streaks, and the joy of doing my hobby amplified my Grace and speed. The glow became brighter. Maybe, I really was an inventors witch as well as a potion master witch. I finally finished. It had taken no more than five minutes. Not the most complicated thing, really. Everyone was staring at me.

"What? Am I in?"

"Yeah, I'm pretty sure you are." Eve replied. The secondary mistress snatched the clock, my uniform, and my schedule. She took out her stamp and stamped my schedule. Chorus faded and inventors workshop appeared.

"Oh!" I cried in surprise.

"Haven't you ever seen a magi-stamp before?" Eve asked.

I shook my head no, and said, "I'm from the human world. The only magic I've ever seen is yours, and mine." The secondary mistress stamped my uniform, and silver lining crawled around the edges.

"Wow! You have to tell me everything, about the human world later! But first, do you have to sass every adult you meet?" Eve asked, as we walked out of the secondary mistress's office with our new things.

"That wasn't sassy. Maybe one day I'll show you sassy. You'd better hope I don't!" I joked. The dorm I was going to was on the second floor, seventeen. Wait, Eve was still following me! "Eve you need to go to your own dorm." I said putting my hand on the handle.

"This is my dorm. Floor two, door seventeen." She said confusedly.

"Yay! We say share a dorm!" I cried, opening the door. We walked inside, to see Claudia Selene sitting on one of the beds.

"If it isn't AmberDawn, and Eve Callister. What are you doing here?"

"This is our dorm, Selene." Eve said her second name like it was poison.

"Well I don't like it much either, Callister." Two other girls came out of the bathroom, giggling, and talking about boys. As soon as they saw Eve they stopped smiling.

"What are you doing here, Callister?" the redhead asked.

"This is our dorm! Deal with it!" I said before she could reply. We sat there quietly. Eve, and I read, the two girls who hadn't bothered to tell us their names, chatted, and Claudia glowered.

Finally Eve said, "We have our first day of school tomorrow. We should go to bed."

"Good idea!" I cried pulling out my fluffiest purple pj's and started to pull off my shirt.

"Amber!"

"What, we're all girls, right?" I finished getting dressed, and everyone except Claudia did the same in the bathroom. "Aren't you gonna sleep, Claudia?" I asked.

"I'm a dark magic witch, I flourish at night." She said. yawning.

"I think you should sleep." I replied digging through her bag, and grabbing some black pj's. "Here." She glared at me, then changed, and crawled into bed. I said, "Hey, what are your names anyway?"

The redhead said, "I'm, RosalynGarnett."

The blonde said, "And I'm BluebellSafire."

"Okay. I'm AmberDawn, but you can just call me Amber." I said, turning off the light and hopping into the last available bed, Claudia on one side, Eve on the other. Tomorrow was school, and I was too excited to sleep. Apparently so was Eve, because all of a sudden she got up and came and sat on the edge of my bed.

"Are you awake?" She whispered.

"Yeah, I'm too excited to sleep." I replied.

"Me too... Amber, can you tell me about the human world?"

"Sure, but I don't know where to start..." So, as I told her about my old neighborhood, Taco Bell, Cars, Wattpad, computers, phones, global warming, Ebola, traffic, and all other types of things, she never once interrupted. Then came the questions.

"What makes the car go? Are you going to miss your prom? Do you like Taco Bell? Are you going to miss it?" And so on.

"Slow down! I can't answer all that!" We fell into a fit of giggles.

"Come on Amber, there's something. I want to show you. We get up, and Claudia pops out of bed.

"You can't go anywhere mysterious in the middle of the night without me!"

"Of course you can come Claudia! You're our friend!" I said.

"I'm not-"

"She cannot!" Eve said firmly.

"Then I won't go!" I said. Eve frowned. "Okay."

"But I really want to come, and I want Claudia to come too!" I cried.

"Too bad, Amber."

I climbed back into bed, and said, "Why don't you two like each other?"

"I do not like her because when we were in elementary school, we were best friends, but then she told everyone that I'm a freak and that my powers are scary!" Eve cried.

"Well that's cause you stole FoxyDragontail! Then you acted like you didn't mean to and you were sorry, but if you were really sorry, you would have told him that you didn't like him, and that I was availible! You could have set us up! But no! You did it on purpose! You are a freak, stealing your best friends crush!" Claudia ranted.

"I didn't like him, but I couldn't just crush his heart like that! Honestly, that was a terrible reason to do that, but that's girls for you. I was always the one who resolved stupid disputes like this.

"Everyone thinks you're both freaks, so you can't stop that Claudia. You need to say sorry, and Eve, you need to forgive and forget."

"But-" Claudia said.

"I'm not finished! Eve, does he like you anymore?" I asked.

"No."

"Then Claudia, you have your chance, but Eve you need to say sorry, for not getting him not to like you yourself. Claudia, forgive and forget too.

"Sorry." Eve said, through gritted teeth.

"I forgive you." Claudia replied, although it was obviously forced..

"Claudia it's your turn.

"Sorry."

"I forgive you."

"Now we're friends and we can go together!" I cried.

"Okay." Eve said, reluctantly. "Follow me." She walked into the bathroom and touched the mirror. The mirror was beautiful. It had swirls and tiny silver roses framing it. There were two big roses. One was at the top, the other at the bottom. She tapped the little roses in some type of pattern. When she was done, she pressed down both of the big roses. The mirror groaned. There were clockwork clicking noises from within and the mirror slid to the side. "My mother was a professor here, so when I was younger I spent a lot of time exploring the school. I know all the secret passages, but this is the only one that leads to a secret room. My mother is the only reason I was accepted into school without payment. I used to live in a foster home." Eve said as we climbed up let long spiraling staircase.

"I'm sorry." I said gently.

"It's okay." Eve started to hum an enchanting melody. It made me feel really sad. We entered the room and I realized that. 2/6 of the room were devoted to my two favorite things, Mechanics and potions! And they were right next to each other! I rushed over to the workshop. "I thought you would like that." Eve said, smiling. Claudia liked the black magic section and so did her cat. The other three sections were love magic, telekinesis, and siren song magic. "Come on girls. It's time for bed.". Eve said. This time sleep as ready to claim me.

The next morning, I was the second one awake. Eve was first. I dressed, and brushed my teeth. "What time is breakfast?" I asked.

"We have fifteen minutes." was her reply. As we got our things together, Blue bell and Rosy left for breakfast. When we got to the dining hall I could hear the murmers of rhumers being passed around. I felt the cold stares. I sat down at an empty table with Eve, and waited for Claudia. When she walked in, she walked in the opposite direction of our table.

"Claudia! Hey, over here Claudia!" I yelled. At first she ignored me, but after a while, she gave in and came to our table.

"Why did you call me?" She asked.

"Because we're friends, silly! Don't you remember last night?" I said, laughing.

"I hoped that was a nightmare." She replied. Servants came with oatmeal and bowls of sugar. I added two and a 1/2 spoonfuls, Eve added one, and Claudia didn't have any.

"No sugar?" I asked between bites.

"I'm a black magic witch and I despise, sugar, most spices, and everything nice."

"Then how are you friends with Eve? She's really sweet, like sugar." I asked.

"Aww. You're sweeter than I am, Amber."

"Thanks, but that's not true-" what would have been very long and boring for you to read was cut off by The head mistress excusing us.

"Whatever." Claudia said in reply after we had exited the dining hall. I headed towards potions. I wanted to be a teachers pet. That way I wouldn't get in trouble, and it would make up for the first day. So I sat in the very front of the classroom. Right in front of her desk.

The girl behind me moved, murmering, "Dirty, human scum." How did she know about that? Unless... Bluebell and Rosy had been awake, and told everyone what they heard! The teacher walked into the room. Suddenly, I wished I had sat in the back. She was green and covered in warts.

"I am Mrs. Grunch, and I would like to tell you that this," She pointed towards herself. "Is the product of a mistake in a potion during my zero period. This is what can happen if you don't follow directions, or you're not listening when I am giving them. Your assignment was going to be to try and recreate the homunculus, but now I want you to make me the counter potion. You may get ingredients now." I got out of my seat, and went over to Mrs. Grunch.

"Can I scratch your arm?" I asked. She looked surprised that I already knew this technique, but she held out her arm. I scratched her with my pointer finger. Not hard enough to draw blood, but hard enough to take skin, and the potion on the skin. I sniffed the potion. I knew it! She applied this herself three minutes before class! I also immediately knew the counter potion. I pulled out crushed pixie wings, (they only take them from UnSeele or evil pixies.) unicorn hairs, holy water, kitten whiskers, and cranberry juice. Mrs. Grunch seemed like a cranberry juice person, and it would make the potion taste less horrible. I went over to my cauldron and put in all my ingredients, except for the cranberry juice. I waited exactly ten seconds for it to boil, then I stirred clockwise three times. I put out the fire. Then I poured in the juice, and stirred again. I put the liquid in a vial and walked up to Mrs. Grunch. "I'm finished." She sniffed the vial with her long warty nose, then drank it. She transformed into a beautiful woman, with long silver hair, and perfect teeth.

"This is an example of a star student. Clean out your cauldrens. I will not give you homework tonight."
Everyone glared at me, for being the best. Even if when Mrs. Grunch announced that because of me, we had no homework! They should be grateful! When she dismissed us, I practically floated to inventor's workshop. When I got there it was a large, but messy classroom, filled with machines.

"Hello, I am Mrs. Hacksaw." said a young lady, looking of her twenties, stepping out from behind a large machine. She handed me a broom. "Sweep up the nuts and bolts, then sort them." She instructed.

After a while I said, "Not to be rude, and please excuse me, but when are we going to build?"

"Oh, you thought you were here to build? No, I refuse to teach human born scum like you!" Mrs. Wrench replied angrily.

I threw the broom at her and said, "Well then I see no reason to be here at all!", stomping out the door. I ran out a random exit, and found a pretty lake. I pulled off my shoes and socks, then plopped my feet in the water. Someone else's feet plopped into the water next to mine. I looked up and it was Claudia.

"Hey." She said.

"Hi!"

"I was over there," She pointed farther across the lake. "But you didn't see me."

"Well I'm glad you saw me. I don't want to be alone." I replied.

"It seems a little late for you to be just now skipping class... What happened?" She asked.

"My inventors workshop teacher refuses to teach human bornes, so I threw a broom at her and ran off. She just made me sweep and sort the nuts and bolts." Claudia looked surprised.

Then she said, "You can't just go around treating brooms like that." She snapped her fingers and a broom flew into her hand. "Look at mine. It looks brand new, 'cause I don't throw it at people." We laughed.

"It's so low tec though... Can I-"

"No." Claudia interrupted. 'No matter what, I was going to give that broom an engine and a booster.' I thought. Instead I said,

"Is it time for the next class?"

"Yeah. I'll give you a ride to next period, so you won't be late. What do you have next?" Claudia asked.

"I have english with Ms. Wordsworth."

"That's where I'm going too." She replied.

"Eve is in this class too!" I cried. "We're all together!"

"Yay." Claudia said sarcastically.
