Sometimes we need a little magic

Chapter 1

​My name is Jackson and yeah, today is my thirteenth birthday. I didn't have a party this year, i don't know why I guess I'm just too old for that stuff now. Anyway, my parents just invited our closest family friends, the Smiths over for dinner and cake. There's John and Kristen, and their daughter Alexis.. But everyone has called her Lexy since before I could remember. Lexy is my best friend, she's been my best friend forever, we grew up together. She has long brown hair and beautiful green eyes. Me on the other hand, I've got kind of long hair, about to my ears and ocean blue eyes. Lexy's actually only three days older than me, but ever since her birthday she's been acting really weird around me lately, like she's hiding something. We tell each other everything, well almost everything...

​"Blow out the candles Jackson!!!"

my parents said after everyone had finished singing Happy Birthday to me. As I blow out the candles, the whole house starts shaking. I was so confused, I didn't understand what was happening. It was like I had influenced the shaking. Then all of these books start flying all over the house, It seemed like these books had been hiding around the house. Then, when the shaking stops, a book lands perfectly closed right next to me. It looked like one of those dumb pretend spellbooks that some people actually believed in.

"What is this?" I say very confused and startled. Although, everyone seemed very calm, like they knew it was comming, except my dad. He says, "Oh honney you were right it is 13, I always thought it was 14.. Well I guess that was just a long time ago for me."

"Sweety, I'm always right,"my mom says in responce.
