"Ha! He should use better tools than that to make even a simple cut on this body." The red-head said as she dusted herself off. She looked up and found that it was already the start of dusk and in the school.

"Why am I here?" She mumbled as she spun, hearing something drop. She saw Melvin that had a shocked face on.

She smirked as she saw him. "Oh? You found me out. I don't think your friends will believe you though." She said snapped her fingers.

"Well, you better get back to your friends!" She said and flipped her red hair to her back and walked out of the school.

《At school... (Lunch break)

"I'm telling you! She's all magical and stuff!" Melvin continued complaining.

Dem looked at his friend in a non-believing way.

"Sure..." Dem said and rolled his eyes.

"Astrid has powers you idiots! Believe me for once!" Melin whined at his friends who had confused faces on.

"Uh, no she doesn't. She is just great at pranks and all that. She told us she loves to pull pranks." Trenth said and crossed his arms.

"She just brainwashed you guys!" He shouted back, frustrated with them.

"No she didn't. We were hanging out after school yesterday with her. We went to that '50's styled diner a few miles South from here." Lona said and began eating her warm lunch.

"Yeah! It was called Anne's 50th Diner! Oh, that manager was furious when I dropped that milkshake!" Heth said and all of them laughed except Melvin, who was frowning.

'Aw c'mon! It's suspicious! Astrid isn't here though.' Melvin thought, looking at the empty spot where Astrid used to sit. He looked around and saw she wasn't anywhere.

"Oh! Melvin is Astrid's stalker? How shocking!" Trenth said and once again, laughed his head off.

"No! I am not! Ugh, just listen to me! After school yesterday, we secretly went in the school to look around for some clues to find out where Cyrus and Lona got kidnapped. Then when I was going to fill the bucket with some water to clean the paint Jake knocked over in a classroom, and then in the middle of nowhere, Astrid appeared out of thin air! You should have seen it!" Melvin tried to explain, but once again, he got shut down.

"Yeah right. Just drop it for now, it's getting annoying." Jake said and began to eat his slightly warm food.

《Time skip to end of school...

As Melvin was walking toward the student parking lot, he got pulled to the edge of the forest by an invisible force. When he stopped, he stumbled into a feminine shaped body. He immediately took many steps back as he was trying to hide the blush that was blooming on his cheeks.

"So, how do you like my skills?" A familiar voice said.

Melvin looked toward the person and saw that it was Astrid.

"What did you do to my friends?" He asked while glaring at the female redhead.

"I just did some magic and boom! Results!" She playfully answered and smirked when she got a reaction from him.

Melvin was near the brink of losing his patience with the irritating girl. "So I'm right, you are one of us." He said as he studied Astrid.

"Yep! But of course, I serve, like you do." She said but got a confused expression from Melvin.
