Carys fumbled with her outfit, pulling and tugging the strings on the back to look straight. She turned her back to the mirror again and saw the outfit was still not straight. Carys sighed and let it be, "Who cares about it being straight anyway?" Carys thought to herself and walked over to her backpack. Books and papers littered the floor in the area of her backpack. She took out her phone, took a picture of the mess, and then sent the photo to her best friend Jasper.

(I'm soooo ready for school!)

Carys started laughing hysterically and started cleaning up the books and paper and then started putting them in the bag. DING! Carys picked up her phone and looked at the message.

Jasper

(I can tell by how neat you are...)

The second Carys saw that message she started laughing so hard. "Oh my god, I'm being so childish," Carys said in between laughs. She put her phone in her pocket and continued tidying it up. Carys slung her backpack over one shoulder and hurried downstairs and outside. She grabbed her broom she had put by the garage and started flying towards school.

This was a prestigious school for witchcraft, she had spent more then half her savings and hours of paperwork to even be considered. Luckily, they had accepted her into Quail's Learning Center of Power and Witchcraft. A laugh erupted from Carys lips, to Jasper the school's name was Quail's School of Snobs and Idiots. Jasper had told her all about how the school didn't really teach you anything, it was just there to gain money and manipulate students.

"I believe her, but this has the highest rate of getting a job after graduation, and I still have enough money for my bills," Carys told herself. The only possibly bad thing about this was being alone without friends. Probably just because Jasper wasn't there.

But! Izzy is there. A smile formed on Carys face. "Izzy is gonna be there! This is gonna be great. I'll make new friends and hang out with Izzy," Carys said.

Carys continued flying until she saw the school. She landed her broomstick on the lawn of the school. Carys headed inside the building for student orientation day or whatever.

"Welcome, welcome students who have been picked for our amazing school!" Principal Quail announced. Carys hated Principal Quail immediately, she had heard multiple stories of awful things he had done to multiple students.

"Hello!" a voice said behind her. Carys turned around and saw her friend Izzy.

"Hello," I responded, then looked back at the stupid man addressing his students. Izzy walked and stood right next to Carys.

"Now you are going to go to the potions room or the broom closet," Principal Quail requested.

"Potions or brooms?" Izzy asked.

"We should go to the brooms closet, no one else will probably be going there since it sounds boring. Honestly I just want to be away from all these people," Carys said.

"Makes sense," Izzy replied.
