Its Only Magic

Its 2017 and 2 hours till monday morning. Rowan, David, Emma, Izzy, Jake, Maddi, Gavin, Jack and Naomi are dreading to go to school in the morning, all that yawning in tourcher -i mean maths- has finally become too boring, over the months teachers and periodic girls -i mean girls who like science- have become extremerly 'girl dogish' (Psss... it means bitchy) i guess its something to do with stress or maybe the fact that they suspect a couple of 15-16 year old's have 'creepy supernatural powers', but who would belive that? yeah, not many- but the people who belive the rumour are people who spread information, someone who is mad enough to belive that 'powers' exsist must be crazy enough to murder someone and burn them to the steak.

for the ones who need to know for their safety -the powers have only just started to show. Although others can not be sure to know whether the 'rumour' is true, many are suspicous... only you know yourself... and only you know your powers. i'd hide them if i were you.

~~~Emma~~~

'Mum!' i shout 'im going to bed now!'

I wait a couple minutes, no response. mum hasnt been talking much, she seems to be extremerly shocked and im kinda worried about her now, i was thinking i should maybe take her to see a doctor.

Each step i take up the stairs creak. I attempt to hop up the stairs lighter- i should try not to wake my brother- I slip a little, landing with one knee on a stair and the other leg sprawled out on the step below. I mutter something subconsously, 'ow! shit!...'

FUCK THIS!

I stomp up the stairs not giving a shit. I hear a moan 'oh my god emma!' my brother cries 'shut up!'

When i open the door to my room, i see my bed layed out neatly- the corners tucked into the sides and a blue stripy fleece folded at the end- my lamp is turned on but flickering slightly. I take a deep breath, in and out, in and out, in and out... The light stops flickering, making the room glow.

'thanks mum' i whisper under my breath.

~~~Rowan~~~

Mum knocks on my door, i open it, she smiles at me 'Love, you should probably get to sleep soon' she looks at her wrist watch, 'its getting to quarter past ten now'. I need to stay up, in about 15 minutes it'll be Captain Sparklez livestream. 'Oh.' i hesitate 'urh yeah... mum can i stay up a tiny bi-'

'Rowan, you have school tomorow!'

i respond quickly ,'Yeah, I know! But please. im 16 now, im not a child anymore!'

mum doesnt respond, just looks at me. she tucks my hair behind my ear, then sighs, '20 minutes.' shuts the door and leaves me to it.

I shake my head to untuck the hair behind my ears, i end up muttering to myself 'Jesus...'

My arms are crossed and resting on my desk, i lay my chin in them and sigh.

I'm not sure how long this livestream is going to be but apparantly it's going to be longer than usual.

knock. knock. knock...

'Rowan!' freya moans.

i roll my eyes 'What?!'

she barges the door open, 'i need to borrow-'

'no.'

'but i need it for-

'no freya!'

'but, i really, really, reeeaally-'

'Freya what part of no do you not understand!?' i instantly shut the door on her.

as i turn my head, speaking starts coming from my computer.

'hey guys.' Jordan smiles at the camera. I let out a fan girl giggle, his american accent makes me so happy and bubbly inside!

i lay back in my chair watching him speak, especially focusing on his brown, sparkling eyes.

My mind starts to whirl off into a load of thoughts....

i hope i meet him one day, i hope i see him and talk to him and become friends with him... maybe collab or star in afew of his videos.... but what i'd really want is a relationship... a smile emerges in my lips, not just a 'friendly relationship' but a actual love relationship... with affection and... and... love....

'rowan... rowannn...'' - i instantly part away from my day dream- mum stands at the door, leaning her head against my door frame. 'im sorry but its been way past 20 minutes.' she says.

i nodd, 'yeah. okay... sure.' i slowly turn my head to the screen. 'Rowan!' mum raises her voice.'just shutting down'

i turn the screen off, rise from my chair and walk over to my bed. i plonk my self onto it.

Mum sits next to me, she seems to be getting closer to me... im not sure whether this its my imagination but- wait.. what?!?! she leans closer towards me!!!.. what?!?!?!!! dont kiss me, dont kiss me!  annnndd of corse she kisses me......EWHH!

why the hell would she do that?! she hasnt kissed me in god knows how long!!

'good night Ro, sleep well...'she whispers as if it wasnt ment for me- as if i was not ment to hear that- before i know it she leaves without a sound, switching my light off on the way out.

I just sit on my bed in the dark, not blinking, not listening to any sounds that are made. Just sitting there, thinking to myself- what could be so important that would make her suddenly act so loving?...

~~Jake~~

I step out the shower, my bright ginger hair flops as i lean forwould to pick up the towel off the floor. I wrap it around my head and walk out.

Each time is step, i notice a sort of frying sound. i turn my head and look at the floor behind me, nothing is there, but then i look closer at the floor- i see marks, brown bunt foot prints. As i stand staring, my feet hurt and ache, they feel on fire. The pain gets harder to cope with. I immdeatly jump away, 'Shit!' i look at my feet, they are slightly red and feel on fire but other than that they look completely normal, but the floor doesnt- the whole carpet is almost burnt away- i call for Mum.

She doesnt respond. I sprint back into the bathroom and run cold water on my feet, whilst mumbleing questions to myself 'what the actually fuck is going on? how is this happening? whats wrong with me?' I carry on whispering to myself, untill one question in perticular pops into my head. 'am I one of them?' My jaw drops to the thought. I try to shake it out of my head, but it doesnt dissapear.

I turn the shower off and quickly run to my bed. Immediatly I tuck myself in and turn my lamp off.

'please dont be, please dont be. I cant be one of them. never.please'
