As I walked back home, I was thinking about what Grandma had told me, it didn’t sound like a joke. I started thinking back to all the times Grandma did things that seemed supernatural, things that couldn’t have been done by normal people. When I got home, I turned on my laptop and started searching; there were many tribes of witches, but I knew which one to search for since the name was on the book my grandmother gave me.

Before I got started, I heard a knock on my door, and decided to try using this so-called "power" I had; I closed my eyes and concentrated really hard on opening the door, I imagined a hand reaching the doorknob and pulling it open, and when I opened my eyes, I saw a look of shock on my mother's face; the door had opened. She walked through the doorway and sat on my bed; I didn’t even want to speak to her, but I knew I had to.

I slowly turned around to face her and said, "Yes, mother?"

She looked at me with fear clearly in her eyes and said, "Stacy, I'm sorry I didn’t tell you about this before, I didn’t think it would happen to you. It usually happens after the age of 18, I really don’t understand how you got your powers so early."

"Grandma explained everything to me," I said, "she told me how you don’t have powers, and that’s why you don’t speak to her; is that it mom? You're mad that you don’t have powers, so you take it out on Grandma?"

"No, Stacy, that’s not why I don’t speak to your grandmother. We have had conflicts, things that can't be resolved easily, I'm truly sorry for that, but you and I both know that stubbornness runs in the family, and neither your grandmother nor I want to admit that we were wrong."

"Wrong? About what?" I pressed.

"It's something that doesn’t concern you, you don’t have to worry about it; but look, I want to make this right, I know I can't teach you the things that grandma will be able to teach you, but that doesn’t give you a reason to pull away from me Stacy. Do you understand that?" I nodded as she continued, "And you know that you can't tell anybody about this, not your friends or your boyfriend."

I cringed at the thought of Seth, and how I had made him fly into the bushes, I needed to make sure he was alright, but I didn’t want to speak to him; I had to speak to Anna. Although he had broken my heart, I still cared for him deeply, but I knew I could never forgive him. I politely excused myself and went to find my phone.

I could feel my mother's stare as I left my room, but I didn’t turn back, I needed to speak to Anna. After I found my phone, I dialed her number and waited for an answer; when she finally answered, I could hear her talking to someone who was near her, but I couldn’t make out the voice.

Then she said, "Stacy, finally! I have been trying to call you all day! Stacy, you need to talk to Seth, he's freaking out. I don’t know what happened with you guys, but you need to make this right, here talk to him."

I pressed end call and shut my phone off, why was she with Seth anyway? And shouldn’t she have taken my side since we were best friends? It was that moment that I realized that I was exhausted, so I decided to go to sleep. I crawled into bed, and just thought about everything that had changed from yesterday until today; I found out I was a witch, I didn’t have a boyfriend anymore, and I could possibly lose my best friend over all of this.

I just lay there all night, thinking about Seth, and what he had done to me. He had really hurt me, it wasn’t that I just loved him, he was my first boyfriend, the one person I knew I could count on, and he betrayed me, he took my heart, and threw it on the ground, and it shattered. I don’t really remember how long I silently cried, but I do know that I cried myself to sleep.

When I woke up the next day, I knew that I had to go to school, and that I also had to see Seth, so I made a promise to myself, I wasn’t going to cry in front of him, and I was going to pull the best poker face ever. I put on my skinny jeans, threw a purple tank-top over my head, put some eyeliner and lip gloss, tossed my bag over my shoulder, and went out the door to wait for the bus. I left the house extra early today because I wanted to be on time for the bus, since Seth usually drove me to school.

I got on the bus, and saw a new guy sitting in my spot; he was really good-looking, he was the hottest guy I had ever seen. He had jet black hair, piercing green eyes that resembled mine quite a lot, and he was wearing a t-shirt that showed off his muscles. I could tell he looked like a total player, he's probably going to join the football team the second he meets the jocks.

I decided to sit in the empty seat in front of him; I put my headphones on and started listening to The Hell Song by Sum 41, they're my favorite band. The bus ride to school was way too long, and that gave me more time to think about how I was going to have to see Seth again. When I got to school, I took my time getting off the bus. I was 5 steps away from the bus when someone tapped me on the shoulder; I turned around and came face to face with the hot guy from the bus.

He smiled at me his gorgeous smile and said, "Hi, I'm Jayden, I'm new here, can you show me to the high school office?"

I looked at him, wide-eyed, and stuttered, "M .. M .. Me?"

He just kept smiling and said, "Yeah, can you show me where it is?"

He didn’t seem to be affected by my idiotic behavior, so I shrugged and walked him to the office; on the way there, many of the sluts in our school were eyeing him like the piece of eye candy he is, oh god, I hope I didn’t look like that while looking at him.

When I dropped him off, he said, "Thanks, uhmm.."

I knew he didn’t know my name, so I said, "Stacy, Stacy Miller"

He smiled his heart dropping smile again and said, "Well, it was very nice to meet you."
