Magic Friend

Noah's Perspective

I drag the hood above my head, and drag more of it to the side of my face to they can't see how much I want to cry. The bus, slowly approaches, and stops in front of me. "Great. Of course you had to stop in front of us so WE would be the first ones on so everyone can see." I say in my head. I walk through the isle and sit in out seat, heads down. I hear people talking. There re always people talking, but I think their talking about us, please don't make this a horrible day pleaasseee! The bus stops 4 more times, picking up more kids to stare at us.

I take my phone out and go to texts. "Nikki! Please respond! Please turn our clothes back. Or just summon new ones like you did for the blankets and plushies.. please. I already feel so embarrassed on the bus." She doesn't respond ta all. Not even 10 minutes later when the bus is stopping to drop us off.

We get off the bus, and walk to the seat we always sit at in the morning. When we're 50 feet away from the seat, I notice Nikki pointing and looking our way. Giggling, talking about us. I grab my phone and hold it out. I point to it to tell Nikki to check her DANG TEXTS!! But she doesn't. She just waves at me. "Oh my god I hate that bitch."

The bell rings and I immediately stand up and speedwalk to my class. "Hey Noah!! Noah!!" I hear in the distance. I turn my head and Nikki is waving her arms at me, telling me to talk to her. NO, Not now Nikki. I need to get to my class and be embarrassed like you want me to. I speedwalk faster, and quickly getting inside. I rush to my class, get to my seat, drop my backpack, and lay my arms and head on the table.

Kids start walking in and look at me. Then more and more kids come in and look at me. But I don't notice. My head is down, knowing what the day has for me. "I just need to act like I'm sleeping. That's all I need to do. Don't move.

There's 1 minute until the bell rings. I get up, and walk to the door. It rings, And I rush to my next class, until... "Noah!! Hey Noah! I want to talk to you!" I turn my head. It's Nikki. I walk faster, but she ran to me and held my shoulder as I was walking fast. "Woah! Where your going! that needs such a rush? Your going pretty fast!" She said, tauntingly, and unquestioningly.

"You know exactly why Nikki!" I say, pulling her aside to the wall so no one can hear. "Because you turned everything we own girly and soft. And I don't even know why you made everything soft and cute. It's like your taunting me. Like you know everything about me! First you change all our clothes AND BED cute and soft. Then making us come in either pajamas or onesies! You know exactly you did. Can't you magic up some new clothes? Like how magiced up some plushies and blankets? Magic some clothes for me. Some BOY clothes please." I say knowing.

"Well... I'm sorry you feel that way Noah. But I can't do magic at school. And you probably know that." Less and less kids are in the halls, all already in their classes.

"No, I do not know why. Please tell me WHY you can't do magic at school. Please tell me." I say annoyed.

"Ok, fine. But let me tell you, you might regret what your going to make me do. But so my magic isn't put to waste, what would you like?"

"I would like new clothes that would not embarrass me please."

"You know I won't do that. Choose something else."

"Oh my god your so fucking annoying. I hate you you know? So much." I say with a smug face. "Fine. Make my teacher allow me come to class early and not be written up."

"Alright. I can do that. And here, here is why I can't do magic at school." Nikki yells at a football player "Hey! Yeah you! Come here!"

He comes up to her, as I'm against the wall. "What? What do you want? Bro, why are you in a onesie? Wait... wait, are you in Stitch onesie? HAHAAHHA, oh my god?! Why are you in that thing?"

"Shut up man. I had no choice." I remark

"What do you mea-"

"Hey Noah." Nikki said. Interrupting the cocky football player. "Do you want a new soft blankie on your bed at home?"

"Why the hell did you call a blanket a blankie? Are you a kid or something?"

"Never mind what I said. Do you want, A new soft blanket?"

"Ok, ok... fine. Yeah sure. I want a new soft blankie on my bed when I get home. I need one for Christmas."

"Ok, good. If you weren't going to answer then I was going to text Alex if he would've wanted it" Nikki, kneels on the floor, chanting some spell."

"What the hell is she doing? Noah, you name was it?"

"Yeah. And she's just doing some magic so she proves something to me."

"What? Your saying you girlfriend here knows magic?"

"Yes! And she turned everything I own girly and soft! I never even had this onesie! She just conjured it up."

"That's freaky. Well, I got to get going." He said. Feeling a little scared from this situation.

Nikki continues her chanting. Right as the football player was going to go around the corner, a giant cloud of white smoke explodes from him. I immediately turn my head and noticed what had happened.

"What was that! What just happened to him?!"

"It's what happens when I do magic at school. Go to him if you want to find out what happens. But I need to go to my next class. It's been like 4 minutes." And she walks away. Off to her next class. "Expect something at Christmas!!" She yelled through the halls.

Now I'm extra confused. "What just happened?" I said in my head. Shocked what just happened. I walk over to the white cloud of smoke, and as I get closer, it disappears. I walk up to where he was, and looked down. "Woah... what the..." I kneel down, pick him up and place him in my backpack, as I walk to my next class."

The rest of the day is full of embarrassment. My ELA teacher decided to tell me to stand up in the front of class, and read an excerpt from Hamilton. I was so HUMIULATED! I stood in front of the whole class, in a stitch onesie, reading an excerpt from Hamilton. In sports class, all we did was excersieze. I was soooo sweaty. I was afraid I was going to stink and smell from all the sweat soaking into the onesie, but no... I never broke a sweat, my armpits did not at all sweat. It was a super weird feeling to feel exhausted, but not sweaty and smelly. My last class was government, but that class was uneventful. Only a couple kids taking pictures here and there along with some videos. Standing behind me dancing or some shit, and doing TikToks. TikToks that was obviously making fun of me. But I saw everything they were doing because I was on my phone, and had my iPad turned of in front of me, therefore letting me see their reflections.

The bell rings. The one savior of my day. The halls are filled instantly with students. I dodge and weave people trying too purposely knock into me. I grab my phone and lean against the wall, and text to Alex. "Don't wait in front of the school to be picked up by our friends. They'll only make fun of us and we don't want to be seen in these stupid onesies for any longer! Go on the bus." I walk out of the building and head toward the busses. I walk to the busses, and slide my backpack to my front. I unzip it, take it out, zip it, and put the backpack back on. "Your safe with me now.. I'm not sure what happened, but I am sure you will be safe with me.."
