Oath

School

Oath high, such a generic name for probably a generic school. As I almost fell down the steps of the bus I couldn't help but miss my old town even though it sucked. I hadn't slept last night because I couldn't stop thinking about what would happen today. A couple times the boy Lance crept into my head. Speaking of Lance, I spotted him standing with 2 other people. One a girl with long, wavy, blonde hair. Blondy's arm was hooked around the arm of a taller boy who had a dirtier blonde hair color. Mocho-man was wearing a Letterman jacket, meaning he was in football and obviously good at it. Lastly, there was Lance; leaning against the wall of the school. With my luck I happened to knock into some poor student or teacher.

 "I am so sorry" I said with embarrassment. I could feel my face heating up in embarrassment as I picked up her phone that had fell out of her hand. It had not been cracked or broken, and saw a text saying that the new girl was a witch and to keep an eye on her. The new girl aka me was dangerous. 

"Watch where your going you idiot" a high pitched voice responded. I got a look at the girl's face and basically who she was. She was the basic popular girl everyone was afraid of. 

"I see," I muttered pursing my lips together.

"Excuse me" she said in the most white girly voice I've ever heard.

"You're the popular girl, the one the new girl should be afraid of. The one other girls wish they could be, so excuse me for accidentally bumping into you your highness" I fake bowed and turned to walk away until her annoying voice stopped me dead in my tracks. 

"You should be afraid of me, I can make you a loser with the snap of my fingers."

I laughed as I turned towards her "you really believe I think so lowly of myself to let you make me hate myself, you can make everyone in this school hate me. But at the end of the day the only person I listen to is myself and I think too highly of myself to let you do that. So get back to me when you find a way to actually make me hate being the person I am" I gave her a little smile and a shrug then started my walk to the doors leading into the school. 

I caught Lance's eyes as I passed them, "You really caused a scene there" he said in the same matter-of-fact-tone he had when I met him in my greenhouse yesterday. Which still surprised me, the fact that he had knew I was getting there that day and he was in my greenhouse, giving me a ring as well. One I was still wearing today. 

I nodded "I'm not going to let her push me around" was what I decided to respond with, I'm glad it wasn't something more stupid. 

"I liked the way you stood up to her, it was a matter of time before someone else did. I'm Lacey Pike, this is my boyfriend Scott Smith and this is.." 

I cut her off "Lance, yeah I met him yesterday when my family got here" I said giving her a smile as I shook her hand and her boyfriends hand. 

"I'm Samantha Magee" I said with a shy smile considering I had cut off her sentence without thinking. 

Lance gave me a little smirk "I see you kept the ring" my face started to heat up as Lacey started to freak out about him giving me a ring. "She's a witch Lace" he said with a chuckle.

That shut her up, I looked at Lance with wide eyes. He legit just told someone I was a witch. 

Lacey started to laugh and Scott had to fill in because she was laughing too hard. "Lacey is a witch too and me and Lance are Warlocks" I let out a breath I didn't know I had been holding. 

"I think me and you will be good friends, I've known you for 2 minutes and I already like you" Lacey said with a smile. 

Somewhere in my mind I knew me and Lacey would be good friends, maybe even best friends. "I really hope we will be good friends" I replied with a big smile. 

A bell rang making me practically jump out of my skin, Lance laughed "Let me take you to your first class Sam" He said and he started walking. I ran to catch up to the long strides he was taking. 

"Aren't you going to ask what class I have first," I huffed out as I struggled to keep up with his long strides. 

"No, I know your schedule, I'm in your first and last class and Lacey is in your second and in your lunch. Scott is in your third" I looked at him with wide eyes, he had memorized my schedule.

I kept quiet, until something occurred to me "James, my dads friend is a witch and warlock hunter and I'm guessing Sara is his daughter" I muttered quietly to Lance as we walked into our first class, Physics. 

Lance nodded looking at me with surprise " how did your figure it out that fast" he muttered with jealousy lining his tone. 

I laughed, "are you jealous I figured it out so fast," Lance gave me a look and muttered a yes. 

I laughed again "Do you guys know for sure it's him though..." I trailed off, I didn't want to have my dads best friend trying to kill me. 

"We don't know for sure if it's your dads friend but we do know for sure Sara is, there was an incident a couple of years ago where Lacey was left with a sprained knee and Sara hinted to what really happened" Lance said, anger evident in his tone. 

"Do you know for sure that James, is Sara's dad?" I asked.

"We don't really know for sure, Sara's mom is always picking her up" Lance muttered. 

An idea popped into my head. "James and his family are coming over tonight I could have Lacey come over to help me keep an eye on them" I said just as the teacher walked in. 

"Good plan" Lance whispered to me. 

I nodded and the rest of my day was the teacher introducing me to the class and then me getting caught up to the curriculum. By Lunch, Lacey and I had went up to the library and found that his family had been here as long as the rest of ours. But as we started to dig in farther the bell rung. By the end of the day I told Lance all of the information we had dug up. "That's all you got" he said disappointment evident in his tone. 

I rolled my eyes "we only had an hour and it was difficult digging up so much history but I know where to get the rest and Lacey can help me get it tonight" I said hitting the back of his head. 

My first day back and I'm practically working for the FBI, Lance and I met up with Scott and Lacey at the end of the period and we all started to walk home. 

I think I'm gonna like it here.
