I was at my 15th orphanage when I met her. The girl who would make my dreams come true.

It all started when she saw me levitating dust balls and making them for the shape of animals.

"Were your parents apprentices?" She asked. She had long dark hair that was flowing freely down her shoulders. Her grey eyes were fixed on me.

"What are you talking about?" I asked, thinking there was something wrong with her brain.

"Oh,sorry. I should introduce myself. My name is Tracey Hunt. What's your name?"

"Uhmmmm, Aaron, Aaron Stewart. What's an apprentice"

"A magic user" Tracey replied.

"But magic isn't-"

"Real. Yes it is. How do you not think magic is real. You were using it."

"That's called air" I lied

"No it isn't. I can tell your lying.  I'll prove it." She ran off and came back with a piece of paper.

"What are you doing?"

"Proving magic is real" She stated."Now " She placed the paper in front of me "concentrate on lifting the paper."

"Why should I do it?" I asked.

"Just do it!" She commanded. Tracey gave me look, it was scary.

I didn't argue. I concentrated on the paper and only the paper. Then it started levitating.

"How is this possible" I asked breaking my concentration.

"See"

"How do you know about this" I inquired, finally starting to believe her.

"My brother is going there right now. In fact,he is in his final year." At this point Tracey got a dreamy face"When he gets out of school,he's going to take me to his house. I finally have a home"

I felt a pang of jealously. "Lucky you. I'll never have a home."

"Yes, you could"

"How? I don't have anywhere to go"

"At the Magisterium"

"If you know so much about this school. How come your not at it?"

"Because I'm not old enough."

"Where is it?" I asked, hoping this was a real place.

"California!" She told me" you just have to train."

"How do I train?"

"Just focus."

I finally had a place." How old do you have to be to?"

"Twelve"

"I'm only eleven" I complained.

"Then you will have plenty of time to train with me"

And just like that, I had a friend.
