Seoul

Hyun Woo

For the first few hours of me starting school, I completely aced every questions the teachers threw at me. It was very surprising to the class and the teachers despite that I had just arrived to school. I guess you could say that witches are pretty smart. Even though some say witches can't even talk because they're dumb. Well you thought wrong. At the middle of lunch break, I took out my lunch bag and pulled out a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. I was about to eat it until someone tapped my shoulder.

"Hey Seoul Junya! Mind if I have my lunch with you," Hyun Woo asked. I nodded and he pulled a chair over, placing his lunch near mine.

"Sorry if I'm taking up so much space here. My so called friends ditched me off the bat." I looked up at him staring at his pouted eyes. His aura seemed very sad and depressing. I could tell, he had a hard time making new friends without people think that he's a weirdo.

"Not to bother your personal space but, why did they even wanna become friends with you," I asked politely.

"Well, as you can probably tell, I'm a nerd. I get good grades and ace every test. I guess they took advantage of me and asked me for answers. I didn't want to give it to them but to me, they really were the only friends I had. So I just did it without a single thought," Hyun Woo explained. His aura became darker darker which scared me because by the time they go into complete darkness and sadness, they disappear. Like from a blooming flower to a pedal-less plant. And wasn't going to let that happen!

"Well, if it'll make you happier, I'll be your friend," I smiled. Hyun Woo looked at me and his aura became a little brighter.

"Really? So fast but OK! From this day forward, we'll be good friends," he beamed and shook hands with me. I shook back and we officially did a friendship handshake. Lunch was over and I packed everything up from my leftovers. I only had one more class left until school was over so I had to be patient. As I was spinning my mechanical pencil around, I heard two girls snickering behind my back. I looked over my shoulder and saw that two boys were picking on my friend as the two popular girls giggled out of evil. I could tell Hyun Woo wanted them to stop, but didn't know how. He was my friend and friends looked out for each other. So I took a piece of paper and ripped it into a smaller piece. I wrote the names of the two boys and the two girls onto the blank paper. You're probably wondering, how did I get their names. It's kind of obvious. It shows it on their names tags. After I wrote their names, I folded it and drew a pentagram in the middle.
I raised my hand high and the teacher saw it.

"Seoul, is there something you need to say?"

"Um...yes! I need to use the restroom please." The teacher nodded and I quickly walked out the door. I opened the restroom doors and into a bathroom stall. I looked over and under to make sure no one was with me in the restroom. The coast was clear and I stuck my hand out, with the paper in my hand. The paper and my hand began to glow brightly until it began to float in mid air. And then I began to chant the witch's spell of zipping the monsters.

My Fair Goddess,
sew those whose mouth speaks evil of the night.
Thou until only good light
may enter to through the sewin' tongues.
Protect those who speak white
And Punish those who speak black.
My Fair Goddess, show no mercy to these evil people, that I have chosen
and punish them until they learned their valuable lesson.

The floating paper began to set itself on fire and shredded into thin dust. It floated into the vent and to the people I wrote on it.

"The Goddess has accepted. If she didn't, I would've been the one who gets punished. Severely," I said to myself and exited the restroom. I opened the classroom door and their were the four kids, sitting quietly and steadily. I sat back into my seat and looked back, seeing something on their mouths. To the human eyes, they look normal and simple but to the witch's eye, it shows their mouths completely shut and sewed up tightly. I smirked and looked at Hyun Woo, relived that they stopped.

School finally ended and I packed up everything and went over to Hyun Woo.

"You ok Hyun Woo," I asked.

"Oh...yeah. Just these the two guys and girls bullying me for my nerdy look. But for some reason, they immediately stop and just sat there like nothing happened," Hyun Woo explained, confused on what happened.

"Well, at least they stopped right?"

"Yeah....at least they stopped." As I was about to walk out the door Hyun Woo asks," Hey Seoul, would you mind if I walked you home," he slightly blushed. I looked at him and grabbed his hand.

"Sure. Why not? It's nice to have a friend walk with you right," I smiled. He smiled back blushing red and grabbed my hand as well. We both ran outside and looked at both directions.

"So which way Seoul," Hyun Woo asked. I pointed to my left and said," that way." We began walking leftwards, passing many sweet shops and food restaurants. I remember seeing a bubble tea stand and we both got green tea. I guess we had fun as he walked me home. I also ran into Wonwoo the blue jay again and Hyun Woo was surprised that a blue jay was able to land on me. At least he was able to pet it like I did. We had a good time together and there were some parts were he blushed a lot.

We finally arrived at my house and I stood on the stair steps outside. I said my farewell to him as he said his. I watch him walk off and once he turned around the corner, I could no longer see him. I opened the door inside my home and cooking was my Aunt looking out the window.

"A boyfriend already Seoul? Boy that was fast for you," Aunt Kim says. I blush and lightly punch my aunt in the shoulder.

"H-he's not my boyfriend Aunt Kim! He's Hyun Woo... my friend," I corrected her. Almost dropping the bowl, she ruffles my hair and smiles.

"I'm sorry dear. I hope he makes a good friend for you," Aunt Kim smiles as she kisses my forehead. "Now go wash up and change for dinner ok?" I nodded and walked upstairs to my bedroom, setting my backpack on my bed. I took my towel on the chair and headed into the bathroom with my cozy casual clothes. As I stepped into the shower, I suddenly realized that I still had Aunt Kim's necklace around my neck. I took it off, making sure it didn't get wet and settled it on the counter.

I finished my dinner and help Aunt Kim wash the dishes. It was awkwardly quiet until my Aunt asked," so, is the Hyun Woo boy nice?"

"Yeah, he's pretty nice. Although some popular kids bully him."

"Aww, that's sad." Then aunt Kim leaned and smiled. "Did you use the punishing spell?"

"I thought you told me that I couldn't use magic in school," I reminded her. She scratched her head awkwardly and ruffles my hair.

"Well, I guess you could use magic for a good source," she smiled as she finished up the last plate. She dried her hands with a towel and placed her hands at her hips and sighed.

"Now, you have to get up early tomorrow for school ok? Now get some good sleep while I practice some new spells and potions," she said as I nodded and walked upstairs to my bedroom. I removed by backpack from my bed and placed it onto the floor. I tucked myself in bed and looked at the blank ceiling. I then held my hand out and said,

Goddess of the night,
Show the stars of light
Keep till my aura sleeps
And may my body fall deep

Glowing purple light then came from my finger tips and replacing the blank ceiling was a beautiful night sky. I could look at it forever if you asked me, but sooner or later, I would fall asleep. I could see all of the star zodiacs like the Sagittarius. Or the Virgo. The Leo is my personal favorite. All was so interesting. I could feel my eyes getting lazy and my body into a deep sleep. I then shut my eyes, and everything appeared pitch black.
