Beep! Beep!

"Uhgg." I hit the alarm clock to turn it off. 'So school starts today then. Hmp.' I thought looking up at the ceiling. I get up and take a quick shower to then get dress. "I wonder what I can make for breakfast. Hmm. I guess eggs and..." I look through the fridge. "Sausage I guess." After finishing eating I grab my bag and start walking to school.

I stop walking and look at the sky. 'I wonder what this year gonna be like.' Once I got to school I went to my locker got my books and went to my classroom. I sat down in a desk by the windows immediately after getting there.

I look out the seeing the students getting in the building with theirs friends. I didn't really hang out with anyone. I mostly focused on my studies.

"Ok students quiet down I need to take attendance." the teacher would say as he walked in. He will start with saying names and would eventually finish. I just kept looking out the window spacing out. The class would eventually start and the teacher wi will have started with the lesson.

As class would finish and lunch begining I would grab my lunch and head to the music room. I would be the only one here so I'd put my lunch on a chair, then walk over to the grand piano that was there. I smiled as I pick it up. I closed my eyes soothing and placed my hands on the keys and start playing. It was a soothing melody. The tempo was on beat and smooth. I would stop immediately as I heard someone open the door.

"That was a beautiful melody that you played." a guys voice would say.

"Umm thanks I guess." I put down the violin.

"I heard the piano and wanted to see who was playing it so I followed the sound." he would rub the back of his neck. "Oh by the way my name is Vincent Lancaster." he would walk up with his hand out.

"I'm Naomi Piper." I shake his hand.

"Well nice to meet you Naomi. So you play the piano." Vincent would ask.

"Yeah I do play the piano but I also play other instruments and sing." I would go back to the chair with my lunch and sit.

"Oh what other instruments do you play." He would say sitting next to her.

"Well I can play kinda all the instruments. I been really into music since I was a  kid so I learned from a young age."

"Wow that's really cool. I wish I could that talented." he says smiling taking out his lunch.

I will eventually  begin to eat my lunch.

"So why did you go to the music room and not the cafeteria? You would be able to sit with your friends in the cafeteria." he would say before taking a bite out of his lunch.

"I don't really have any friends here, I mainly focus on my studies." ill say before taking another bite out of my meal.

"Oh, Then I will be your friend now." he smiled looking up at me.

I would look back up at him "Ok" ill said looking back at my food.

"And since we are going to be friends, we need to know about each other. So..." Vincent started to ramble about himself while I finished my lunch. 'He talks too much.' I think to myself. The lunch time would end.

"Well then ill see you." I say getting up heading to the door.

"See you" Vincent said leaving the room. We would part ways heading to classes for the rest of the day.

The final class will end and the students would be able to leave. I packed up my books and them head out. I will look around feeling as if I'm being followed. 'Something seems off.' I think to myself walking faster. They would seem to be still following me getting closer so I decide to start in a sprint. As I run I take out my keys to be ready at my front door. When I get to my door I go to put my key in the door when my wrist was grabbed. I struggle to get my wrist free only making their grip stronger.

"Don't bother trying." I would turn around to see a hooded man speaking. I would open my mouth to scream but then he covered my mouth with his hand. He'd then grab my key and open the door pushing me in, then closing the door. Once inside he let go of me.

"What do you want from me!" I say backing away.

"Don't worry I won't hurt you." he'd say turning to face me walking towards me.

"How am i suppose to believe you." I said backing into a wall. He was right in front of me.

"You can believe me because..." He say going into his jacket to grab something I saw his hand pulling out something so i pushed him back then started  running to the upstairs bathroom with him following behind.

Once I got upstairs threw My bag  towards him to slow him down. It would hit his face and lost his balance and I kept running towards the bathroom. I closed the door and lock it. I went to the mirror and pried the mirror out. I would hear banging on the door and hurry up. I finally would get the mirror off, I put the mirror on the ground and open the secret cabinet. I pulled out the gun and load it ,just as the door opened.

"Don't move I will shoot." I said trying to sound threatening pointing the gun at him.

"That won't work." he said smilingly  and then in a second flat he was  behind me with the gun in hand.

"How? Only those with-" I say in shock that he would have that ability. "Explain." i say turning around facing him.

"I would've explained earlier but you kinda ran away." he smiled.

"Are you part of?" I asked tilting my head.

"Yes I am part of that." he'd say taking out a card. "I am Leo Anderson from the Novice Institution of Magic." He said holding his ID.
