Modern day witch

He loves me

Forget all the old thoughts of witches. Forget the old images of the past. I'm sorry to tell you, witches are here in the modern day using tech. They are like us, they even use social media. Using video calls to do coven meetings whilst in a pandemic. Even they had to follow government guidelines.

But our story is about a witch, who has thrown in the wrong ingredient in the cauldron again. Her name is Jane. And due to her reading habits, she threw the wrong ingredient in. And of course misread the amount. Her boyfriend Tom who is a warlock, is helping.

"Jane, slow down" Tom smiled at his girlfriend, who was mad at her learning disability and her stress.

"I can't. I have a test and it needs to be right," she pouted at him. To which he smiled at her. He looks soo tidy today and I look like a mess, she thought. He got off the chair and went into a cuddle. She felt a bit more calmer, squeezing him back a bit.

"Jane, I love you. And you will be fine. Your test on potions will be  great" whispering into her ear. She smiled up at him and kissed him. "It will be in front of a few professor. Not like when you have done it front of the school" reassuring her. 

"I'm soo lucky to have you" she whispered, a supportive boyfriend. Two teens worrying about exams. Ok one that is.

Jane looked at Tom and smiled. And then there was a ball they were going to attend. A party for all the young ones. No alcohol because there is sixteen and seventeen year olds. Her mind thought about what they could do there.

Tom chuckles. "And what would be going in that mind of yours?" Brushing the hair out of her face. She blushed, then followed by a small smile. She shakes her head, and buries it into his chest. Wrapping his jacket around her.

It was the day of the exam and Jane was nervous. She had revised about how to make a witch stew. Which doesn't contain witch. She had reread it all. She took a deep breath. And walked in.

A senior witch saw her and nodded. "Ah Jane, are you OK?" Cheerfully. Jane nodded with a smile.

She got her ingredients out. And tried to perform the spell. She concentrated so her mind would be clear. Oh, you think this stew is full of body parts? no. This is a herbalist stew. That was over a  century ago or more.

"Well Jane I have to admit" the senior witch after, coming out of the meeting. "You have made a bit of progress since last time" smiling at her. Jane beamed with pride. "Keep practicing, you almost passed" gently. Jane nodded. It was that close.

"Thank you" quietly biting her lip.

"Keep at it. As for you theory exam" handing her exam. Jane opened it and looked at it. She squealed and hugged her. The senior witches and Ted the only man there, smiled at her with pride. She couldn't wait couldn't wait to tell Tom. She had passed one and nearly passed and tonight was the ball.

Later that night she was in good spirits. Her mum had helped pick out an out fit.  Just like us witches love events. Especially if there is gossip about human celebrities. The senior witches are the worst. She had a long blue dress and all she told Tom was to was a blue bow tie.

As she arrived everyone was there. Then a few people noticed her smiling in amaze at her dress. She felt nervous feeling and excitement. As she got closer he slowly turned around at his girlfriend. She looks amazing, he thought.

"Hi" shyly at Tom. Her cheeks feeling hot.

"Hi" he gasped. "You look amazing" pulling her in for a kiss.

"Passed my theory and nearly passed practical" her cheeks raised.

"So proud of you" He beams. He was amazed that she got this far. Her mum watching from the side lines.

A senior witch came up to the mum. "She has come along way. She loves him. I knew I was right to introduce them together" smiling at her.

"I can't believe the community has accepted her" Jane's mum replied. They both looked at each other. They flicked their wrists at the couple.

Jane and Tom felt they were being lifted up. Tom looked at her mum and noticing she had her thumbs up at him. He nodded as Jane griped him soo hard. Peering down at the ground. All the people looked around and saw her. Every one was smiling. The girl who had years worth of spells going wrong was able to shine. He held her her tight and kissed her on the lips.
