Aurora:
In a world where love had to be earned I would never be good enough. I was the black sheep in the family, the witch without magic.
While my sister excelled in every type of way I had to suffer in silence, tormented by the people I should ha...

The Professor lifted her hand while speaking to produce a tiny spark of fire that danced along her skin. I was immediately at aww of her abilities but my thoughts were interrupted by a snarky giggle behind me.
Feeling self conscious I didn't even bother turning around to see what was going on since that would've only satisfied them. No, I was going to ignore them until they would leave me alone.
To my utter disappointment Maeve and her friends were sitting behind me where I couldn't see them but their looks were surely burning holes into my back. My fault because I hadn't been early enough to get a chair in the back as that was where the cool crowd sat and I definitely wasn't one of them. But I wouldn't do the same mistake in the future.
Focusing back onto the class I watched as the professor grew the small reddish spark into a ball of fire that extended beyond the border of her hand. "Sometimes it's harder to make a small spark than a big fire" she said before forcing the energy back into the tiny spark with ease. For her it didn't look too hard but I knew enough to believe her words.
With my energy hardly anything ever happened in moderation, it was always a massive explosion followed by chaos.
"We'll practice this now. You're free to help your friends out while I'm go around, Okay?" She asked cheerily although she didn't bother waiting for an answer before going to the back of the room to grab herself a drink.
Although I was lost about what to do I found myself a spot in one of the corners of the large room so I wouldn't be interrupted by the others. Interrupted while doing what though?
There was this teeny tiny problem that I didn't have any energy, that is if I didn't want to suck any of my classmates dry. I would surely love to do it on Maeve but I hadn't stooped that low yet.
For now I had to settle for keeping a watch on her while I was relishing in my inability yet again. And the worst was that I knew that I really needed to train my powers but I had no way of doing so. But there had to be a way for me to get some elemental energy without hurting anyone, maybe starting a fire or something but I couldn't really do that here. For now I couldn't do anything but pretend to be busy.
I watched as the professor walked around, helping some of the students. To my dismay a lot of them were able to do it with some effort. Actually I should feel happy for them but I just couldn't shake the anxiety at the thought that the professor might come over to me next. The closer she came towards me the more I tried to become one with the wall.
But in the end it didn't work.
"And you, how are you getting along?" She asked me although I was so painfully obviously doing horribly. Couldn't she just have ignored me? Now people were starting to divert their attention to me.
