Charmed: Book One

Chapter Four:

     After staggering through the long, crowded hallways, we finally arrived at D-26. Sirona opened the door to reveal a large  lecture room. Rows of seats lined the back wall. In the front was a white desk and a portable white board. The gaze of everyone fell onto me. I took a deep breath and remained calm.
The teacher walked over to us with a menacing glance. Her short, bobbed red hair was pinned back by a black bobby pin. Her green eyes were glowing with anger. Her witch hat had a pocket watch sitting on the rim, contrasting her eyes. "Where is your tardy pass!"  Sirona handed the teacher our passes as we made our way to the 6th row of seats. "Don't worry, Sweetheart. That's Mrs. Weiss. She's a joy," Anmiè said, taking out her supplies from her heart shaped clutch.
     I look around and see rows of witches, wizards, and other spell casting beings filling the seats. While glancing around, I see a familiar face in the row below me. "Now that everyone has arrived, I will proceed with role." "Is that the girl I ran into in the hallway? What was her name? Lydia.....Lucy.....Linda...."
"Luna Hathaway?" "Present," she said. Her voice sounded bold and fierce. "Luna! That's it! Maybe I can try to mend that bad experience from the hallway  and......" "Usagi Nousagi." I was too busy in my own fantasy to realize she called me. "Usagi Nousagi!" "Huh?!? P-Present!" "Damnit! Why do I always do this?!?" A ripple of giggles arose from the class. Luna turned around and gave me an icy gaze, accompanied with a devilish smirk.
     After roll was finished, we began our lesson for the day. "Today you will be partnered up and combinining your magic to make an enchanting  spell with your partner. You will be working outside in the court yard, so leave your belongings here while you work. You will draw a number before exiting." I followed Sirona and Anmiè to the court yard like a shadow. We all reached in and grabbed a number from Mrs. Weiss' jar. "I got 7, what number did you get," said Sirona. "I got 23. I guess we won't be working together. What did you get, Sweetheart?"  "16," I replied. "Now, please go and find the other student with your corresponding number. You have approximately one hour to get a spell done!"  Everyone was scrambling to find their partner. The chaos was mind numbing. "I wonder who has my number....I hope they won't mind my magic...."  I look over and see Luna by herself. Every bone in my body was urging me to go over there, but I was afraid I would mess up again. I investigate the court yard to find Sirona and Anmiè, but they found their partners and were working  efficiently on their project. Sirona was with a tall guy with black hair. I couldn't tell what his magic was, but Sirona was enjoying herself. Anmiè was with a short, witch with pink hair. One flick of her wand, and she could spontaneously create food. The girls giggled and told jokes. I turned back around to face Luna. "Don't be a screw up, don't be a screw up......"  "Hey Luna....what number did you get?"  "Tch, as if I'd tell you," she scoffed.  "Wow, what a bitch....."  "Well you see, I-I got 16 and wanted to know if you had it too....."  "16?!? You mean..... I'm stuck with you?!?"  "Great, this outta be fun..."
