Between me and him? Magick.

Chapter 1 - Fear

"YOU," He whispered urgently, "need to be my girlfriend for this week. Just this week."

Then he looked around, before rushing off to class as though he hadn't talked to me beside my locker at all.

And that was how all the trouble started.

Hehe, before I go on any further, let me explain. That boy was Peter. No, it's not like the usual storyline where popular boy meets shy girl and they fall in love. Peter, was instead the shy boy. Which explains my disbelief and shock when he had asked me to pretend to be his girlfriend.

To be frank I didn't know he had the balls to do that.

But anyway, let me introduce me.

I'm Kayla. 17 years old this year, some Magick blood in me, and fortunately still a virgin. I would like to keep it with me until I can give it to someone special.

It's ironic actually, considering I do hang out with the popular crowds, and yep, I could be considered one of the popular ones. Or the bitch. Or the slut. I am expected to not be a virgin. But nope, I lied.

It's like a miracle that I haven't lost my virginity. I nearly lost it at one of the parties, where I got drunk and hugged the toilet bowl for 2 hours trying to get away from a jock who was trying to have sex with me.

But that's another story. Heh.

I have to spit this out, I am not a slut as well. Maybe I'm just trying to prove my worth. It hurt when others judged you negatively, but I stopped getting bothered years ago, because I guess I can't please everyone. Still, I tried to be nice.

Anyway I have to explain this Magick thing. Nana, my Grandma, is a witch. When she passed away last year, her skill was passed down to me, the next child with the Magick blood.

Dad didn't have them, it was a women thing. Haha, kind of sexist, I know.

This whole Magick thing, it allows me to have excellent sense of direction, even in a foreign country. I will always know when who is lying and who is telling the truth. I can communicate through the mind with other Magick people, but I have never met one yet, excluding Nana.

But the bad thing about Magick? Once we fall in love, it's hard to get out of it. It's like we are almost permanently stuck in a tornado and there's almost no way we can save our heart. Part of it will be broken, and we will always remember it. That's what Nana told me.

I got my heart broken once. And yep, it was still raw from the pain.

I broke up with my ex, Ted last year. We were together for 2 years, and I was the one who initiated the break-up when he admitted to me his feelings for me faded. It explained all his hurtful behaviors for the past 6months. I was miserable but I had to end it.

I have to stop my heart from sinking everyday, questioning myself if Ted loved me or not. It was an unhealthy relationship for me. I had never liked, or you could say, love, a person for over a year. I know a part of me still wishes for Ted, but I won't let it.

These, explains why I refuse to open up to any possibility of love, or real close friendship.

They always abandon you when you need them the most.
