Chapter 2: The First Encounter
The following day, Jennifer was still trying to adjust to her new school routine. During lunch, she sat alone in the cafeteria, flipping through a book to avoid drawing attention to herself. The cafeteria was bustling with students, but Jennifer’s focus was entirely on her book—until a commotion interrupted her peace.

Alex appeared, carrying a tray of food and a broad smile. “Mind if I join you?” he asked, setting his tray down at her table without waiting for an answer.

Jennifer looked up, surprised by his sudden appearance. “Sure, I guess.”

Alex began talking animatedly about the latest school events and a few quirky students, his easygoing nature putting Jennifer at ease. She found herself laughing at his stories, enjoying the company more than she had anticipated.

In the midst of their conversation, Jennifer’s hand accidentally knocked over her milk, spilling it onto the table. She gasped, mortified.

“Oh no, I’m so sorry!” Jennifer exclaimed, grabbing napkins.

Alex quickly grabbed some napkins and started helping her clean up. “Don’t worry about it. Happens to the best of us.”

As they cleaned, Jennifer noticed a strange shimmer in Alex’s eyes. Before she could comment, a sudden gust of wind swept through the cafeteria, scattering napkins and creating a minor chaos.

Jennifer’s eyes widened as she saw Alex glance around nervously, then shoot a quick, reassuring smile at her. “Looks like we’ve got a bit of a situation,” he said casually, though Jennifer couldn’t help but sense that he knew more than he was letting on.

The wind subsided as quickly as it had started, and the cafeteria returned to its normal buzz. Jennifer looked at Alex, puzzled. “Was that... magic?”

Alex’s smile widened, but he said nothing. “Just your imagination,” he replied. “So, have you heard about the school’s magical club? It’s supposed to be pretty interesting.”

Jennifer raised an eyebrow. “Magical club? Is that a joke?”

Alex’s grin turned mischievous. “Maybe. Or maybe it’s a hint at something extraordinary. You might want to check it out.”

As Alex got up to leave, Jennifer was left with a mix of curiosity and confusion. The mention of magic, combined with the strange events of the day, made her wonder if there was more to Waverly High—and to Alex—than she had first imagined.
