Chapter 4

Patiance’s POV

For some reason after they left Paige and I, we stayed rather quiet for a while, we didn’t know what to talk about I guess. So we sat there silent, which gave me time to figure out what my mum and dad were going to do with me, they can’t keep an eye on me 24/7 but they could let me relinquish my powers, but that’s never going happen, what could they possibly do.

30 minutes went by and I got so sick of waiting I stormed out of the room, leaving Paige behind and down the hall until I bumped into someone. “Oww, watch where you’re going” I yell as I stumble back to my feet to see a girl, with bright green eyes and hair as dark as night. I knew I knew her but I don’t know her name I think she’s in my year. Before she can say something I straight away ask “who are you” I did say it kind of rudely but this is not my day ok.

She gathers all her books before slowly wobbling to her feet; she is a bit smaller than me not by much. Just by looking at her I can see that she is probably one of those magic nerds because firstly she has her shirt tucked in, her hair is up and there are no fly away hairs and she is carrying around a witch’s dictionary, if that doesn’t say nerd what does.

She interrupts my thoughts “I’m Eve, Eve Satin” as soon as she said that name I knew who she was and I was right she is a nerd she is like the queen nerd, a pretty one I have to say but still a nerd.

I was about to say something but I hear someone calling my name behind me “Patiance” I quickly snap my head over my shoulder to see Paige running up the hallway. I quickly left Eve to see what was wrong and ran to Paige. I run to her because I probably am a bit paranoid but today is the day I am allowed to be.

“What, what happened?” I said immediately as she stood directly in front of me, what could it possibly be now, how could this day get any worse?

She looked at me puzzled “what do you mean what happened, nothing happened, where are you going?” A big sigh of relief comes out of my mouth thank God; I don’t think I could handle anymore disasters in one day I might explode.

“I need to find out what is taking so long, I can’t sit and wonder what they are going to do with me” I say turn away from Paige and start walking towards Leo’s office. I noticed that Eve had left, but I am not surprised she can’t miss a moment of class, it would be tragic for her, as I said NERD.

Paige quickly caught up and linked her arm to mine, she is truly my best friend, and I knew she wasn’t going to let me face my fate by myself.

“Thanks” I whisper to her as we reach the door of Leo’s office and I give her a big thank-you hug before entering.

As soon as I open the door I saw my parents and Leo look at me in a worried look, which is understandable figuring what we have been through today. I quickly break the tension “What is going on, I need to know” I said seriously and impatiently and their worried looks quickly vanished. It’s a bit ironic, my name does not suit me at all because I am certainly not patient and it is really confusing when my mum tells me to be patient.

But my look of seriousness and concern didn’t, finally Leo said “Patiance, come and sit down, you two Paige” We both found a chair and sat in it but not for one minute did my eyes leave my parents.

I think Leo could feel the tension between us all so he spoke first “Well your mother, father and myself know you have been through a great deal this past year and especially today” he stops for a minute to clear his throat, what is he saying, spit it out.

“What I am saying, we have come to the conclusion that it is not safe for you or Paige on the outside world, we would like for you two, to stay here until the problem is resolved” he says looking kind of pleased. What are they nuts; I am never going to agree with this, Magic school is far from where I want to be.

“What? You guys are going to put me in here when you know I don’t want to be here” I say angrily, dad tries to put his hand on mine but I pull it away before he got the chance. How could they do this to me?

“Darling, this is the only place where we know you’ll be safe, your father and I think this is the safest option for you right now” mum said sweetly and softly but why? I am seventeen in three months I can look after myself.

“We also think that this will help you with your issues with magic, help you see if magic is your destiny” My dad said as he holds my mums hand. I knew there was a catch to this, they think putting me in here is going to change my mind about magic, not likely, but maybe I can use this to my advantage.

“Fine, but only if you promise that if I don’t want to be a witch anymore at the end of this school year I can relinquish my powers and live a normal life” I say, my dad hesitates, but nods, I quickly stand up and walk for the door. Need to be alone right now.

Leo stops me “your stuff is already in your room, you two are going to be roommates, hope you don’t mind?” I look back at Paige and she looks really excited as it sets in that she is actually allowed to come to magic school, her one true dream.

It should be open to all magical creatures not just witch’s, now maybe that will change starting with Paige.

Paige quickly jumped up from her chair and grabbed my arm and pulls me out the door, we only get a little until we figure out we don’t know where we are going because we forgot to get the dorm number.

“Paige, what dorm are we going to” she looks at me and shrugs, we laugh and try to remember but I don’t think we were told. Just my luck, now we are going to have to go back to Leo and MY PARENT”S.

“We better go back and ask” Paige said to me, I didn’t want to go back and see my parents not now I need to just be away from them for now, but how are we meant to find our dorm.

Paige turns around to walk back to Leo’s office “Wait, Paige I don’t want to go see my parents again please stay, we’ll find another way” just then I thought using magic, won’t hurt anyone figuring we are at magic school I am going to have to use it sooner or later if I like it or not.

Maybe if I make a path towards my stuff, ok it’s worth a shot “let me see the path I seek, to my stuff,  I’m now complete” I chanted and suddenly a gold trail appeared before us.

Paige got so excited she ran off without me and left me standing there, oh well it’s like a dream come true for her. I started to follow the trail down the corridor and eventually found my room. Automatically I see Paige looking around the room, then suddenly a knock at the door.

I turned around almost instantaneously to see my parents. Oh why won’t they just leave me alone? I love them but every time I see them I get so angry. “Can I help you” I say in a snappy tone to them, hoping they would get the message, that I don’t want them here.

“Were just coming to say goodbye, I see you’ve been using magic already”, dad says with a cocky smile as he looks to the gold trail under his feet. He thinks he knows me but he doesn’t, Paige is the only one that really gets me.

“It’s not what you think we didn’t know where to go” I say sharply at him, please just leave because this is going to get ugly soon if they don’t.

“Ok, well remember Patti magic is a gift not a curse, we love you” mum says to me before leaving dragging dad behind her. Magic is only a gift if you want it, it is a curse when it’s thrust upon you.

“Finally there gone” I yell as fall back into a couch, feeling free of them at least for now, but not free of magic I am sad to say.

Suddenly when Paige comes and crashes onto the couch with me, I giggle at her and move over so she can fit on to it. We sat there for a while talking and laughing, I am really glad that Paige is here with me and I don’t need to go through this last year alone.

It is the first day here at magic school, Paige and I decide to miss today’s classes and just let everything sink in and start tomorrow on a better note, this year might suck for me but nothing’s going to ruin this for Paige.
