"Ari, don't turn around but there's a lot of redheads looking at you." Sam snickered into my ear, scaring me. I quickly turned around and looked at them, who were surprised when they made eye contact with me.

"Dumbass, look front!" Sam hissed at me, smacking the back of my head. I rubbed my head at the spot that he hit, grumbling under my breath.

"What do you think they're here for?" I asked, leaning towards him. Goddammit, first Lolita comes in my dreams and now a bunch of redheads are staring at me as if I'm their long lost family. To be fair, our hair colour did match a bit. Scratch that, a lot.

"Hey, maybe they're here to pick one of us to take with them for the adventure of a lifetime." He laughed, grabbing the attention of Kate.

"Whatcha talking about, nerds?" Sam gave her the summary of what we were discussing about and she went into deep thought. "Hey, maybe they're her long lost family or something." She remarked, pointing at me. "You guys have the same shade of coloured hair, well almost." She shrugged.

My closest friends knew that I was adopted. It wasn't a secret to them and I didn't feel like it needed to be kept as a secret. Hey, mum and dad were the best mum and dad in the world and they don't mind that I told my friends about it. No harm, no foul.

"The three musketeers, if you would stop gossiping and start doing the steps, much appreciated." The teacher called us out, the class snickering. We all blushed bright red and bowing our heads, got to our positions. Soon, a girl walked in and whispered something in the teachers' ear. She nodded and cleared her throat.

"Arianna, the office needs you." I looked at my friends with a surprised look on my face and saw it being mirrored on their faces as well. I quickly got up, took my things and walked out, waving bye to the class. I reached the office in record time and saw my mum, with a bunch of the redheads and there was a black haired guy present as well, with his hair sticking out as if he had never ran a comb through his hair in his entire life. But he was cute, not going to lie. Stop, focus!

"Mum, what's going on?" I focused on my mum who at that very moment, had a proud look on her face. Wait a minute, had I again done something weird? Goddammit, Lolita should really show me how to control these bouts of accidental magic I keep on having in my sleep. "I'm not being taken to a mental institution?"

"No, blue." She laughed, along with two other people who had identical looks. Twins, wow! "Remember when you started levitating stuff?"

"Oh mummy." I groaned. "You must be joking, I didn't do anything like that. You were hallucinating!" Goddammit, she was going to charter me off to the mental institution. I couldn't explain to her that I was having these weird dreams from Lolita who was inherently teaching me all about magic and I accidentally made everything levitate, now could I? She wouldn't understand, no one would.

"Well, I thought so too." She explained. "But now I know you were doing all that stuff. These people can do it too!" She nodded and gestured at the redheads behind her, smiling with excitement. "Honey, you're a witch!"
