The alarm clock beeped.

8:00 am.

I opened my eyes. Sunlight flooded through my window. I wished it was moonlight instead.

My name is Nella, and it's my first day of magic school. I'm 16.

16 is a special age for the people that lived in Magicville. (Yes, I know it's a cringe name for a town) Those who turned 16 would finally get their form and their elemental power.

I wonder what mine will be.

"NELLA! TIME FOR SCHOOL!"

That was my mother. She's a dark bunny, although she isn't evil.

My father isn't around. I swore never to speak of him again. Don't ask why.

I groaned and got out of bed, smoothing my curly brown hair with my fingers. T-shirt and ripped jeans seemed comfy for today.

"There you are," my mother whined as she stuffed a toast into my mouth just as I arrived at the dining table. "Come on, you're going to be late."

"Mom, it's 8:15. School starts at 9:00. There's plenty of time," I groaned.

"You know what they say. Being late is never a good thing," my mother said as she put on her white nurse coat. She works as a nurse. "Now come on, Peppi is waiting outside already."

Peppi, short for Penelope, is my best best friend since 1st grade. Our mothers met when her mother, who was a warrior, got nursed by my mother.

I sighed a little. At least Peppi would be there. Things should be fine.

But that's not my biggest worry.
