Chapter 2: the office

Tina nervously shuffled into the office, the headmaster sitting at his desk, another person noticeably besides him, they assured her to sit down on the wooden stool. "Tinitha, for the longest time, we believed you were the one who'd become the destined one," Tina had butterflies in her stomach "let's test that theory now, shall we?" The headmaster nodded the person besides him, who, in the light, was dressed in marvelous blue robes, with a shimmering white cloud pattern, his cone hat had a bell attached to a string, that was attached to the tip of the hat, the man had a long white beard, but white eyes that seeming glowed in the light. The man pressed the tip of a wooden stick, which was his wand, to Tina's forehead, she shivered with this feeling. "Hmm" the man echoed, his eyes closed, then, his eyes shot open, Tina fumbled in her seat, desperately awaiting the answer. "Not the one" Tina couldn't believe her ears, and, seemingly, couldn't the headmaster "a-are you sure?" The headmaster stammered. "Bring the next one" the wizard huffed, as Tina was led out of the room, still in shock. Outside of the room, Tina was greeted with Daniek, who looked excited for the results. "So? Didcha get it?!" He bounced on his toes, "...no, Daniek..no I didn't.." Tina mumbled, as she slid down the wall, and sat on the ground. "Muncebaker, Daniek" Daniek pat the girl's head "don't worry! I'm sure you'll do something great!" He reassured his disappointed best friend, as he waddled in the room, smiling at her. Tina sighed, her life long dream was gone, she didn't know what she was here for anymore, the only thing that drove her was, well, her belief, but that was reduced to only that, belief. A group of boys came up to Tina, smiling viscously, "so Tinitha, did your silly dream come true?" The main one, a black haired boy named Jasper chuckled. "No." Tina replied, a bit of growl in her voice, "look guys! The prodigy of bluebell, a GIRL, didn't get the part!" The boys laughed with this statement. Tina felt herself grow red, "what's wrong Thumbwell? Hot? Cool her off Jakson" Jasper snapped, a boy, with ginger-blonde hair, suddenly dumped a bucket of water on the girls head, sending her yelping, and standing, soaked. The boys laughed at her, as she wrung out her hair, "better Thumbwell?" The boys joked, Tina chuckled "very funny guys, very funny" her voice, it was colder than it ever has been, the boys looked at her. "Uh, what" Jasper tilted his head, "you heard me," Tina suddenly grabbed the collar of his tunic, hoisting him up in the air, the boy yelped at this sudden action "very funny, Jasper" Tina growled, before throwing the boy to the ground, luckily, Jakson and another boy caught Jasper, who was catching his breath. Tina laughed "didn't your mommy teach you not to mess with Tina Thumbwell?!" She cackled, as the boys looked up at her, distressed. Tina scoffed "you better know now." As she walked away, she wasn't supposed to, but she was done with everything, she needed a new path, now that hers was taken from her.
