Charmed The Next Generation (On Hold)

Chapter 8 - This sucks

Chapter 8

Patiance’s POV

“Patti, wake up, wake up” I hear someone call my name, I ignored them until they shook me.

“What” I say sleepily and roll over, to see Paige standing next to my bed, still got a smile on her face which goes from ear to ear.

“Um, I didn’t know when classes started but that machine over there says 8’oclock”, she says innocently and points the clock, but then I realise.

“Oh my God, we’re going to be late”, I started to panic wait this is magic school and I do have powers so why not use this to my advantage.

“What, are you thinking” Paige looks at me with curiously, I shake my head with a ‘I don’t know what you’re talking about’ look. I have to use magic to help us we can’t be late, because that’ll be another reason that my parents will have to stop by, avoiding that at all costs is my number priority.

“Please help us now in our time of need, ready for school so we can see, a better future for Paige and me” I say unsurely, Paige sits there laughing at me but what do you know we have suddenly got some nice clothes on and two bags sit in front of me, wow it worked, awesome. But I must admit it wasn’t one of my best spells I have cast but hopefully it should do the trick.

“What kind of spell was that” she says still in hysteric fits of laughter.

“It worked didn’t it” I say as I picked up the two bags passing one to Paige and walked out through the lounge room straight out the door.

“You’re lucky I’m not hungry Patiance Halliwell” She says to me giving an evil eye as we walk down the corridor.

“No you’re lucky” I snap back at her just playfully, she has a pretend hurt look on her face, I couldn’t help but laugh, if someone else did that I would just glare at them but Paige makes me laugh, I am really glad she is here this year.

“What’s our first class” Paige says excitedly I look at our time table, oh no way, on our first day back, this sucks.

“Potions and we have Mr Widgetar” I say with a groan, and realise we have a double, this is going to suck.

We finally make it to our class, good the teacher isn’t here, I can’t stand that little gnome. I quickly see two seats in the back row. I quickly start walking to the back row, Paige immediately follows, we sit down just in time, because the teacher just walked in as we sat in our seats.

“Good morning class, welcome to potions, most of you should know me but we do have quite a few new students can; Paige Rankin, Ivory Sin-Claire, Fisher Stone, Cinnafinnick and Matt Devine please stand up” he says, Paige quickly stands up and so did Matt along with the other two whoever they were. I straight away saw that Matt was in the row in front of me but was seated in front of Paige’s desk. Has he been here the whole time? I didn’t even realise I am so blonde.

He turned and looked at me, only for a split second but I swear I saw him smile at me which made me blush a bit. They all sat down but I couldn’t help but notice one of the girls, I don’t know what her name exactly was but it started with C. But as I stared at her I noticed something very peculiar about her. Her ears they were not a normal size or shape and there is only one species of magical creatures that have, she is an elf but quite a tall one at that. She had shoulder length milk chocolate coloured hair, dark chocolate brown eyes and is a about 6” which is rather tall for anyone let alone and elf.

“Well, welcome you five I am Mr Widgetar, well as this is your first potions class I don’t want to just go straight into it, so let’s play a little game, everyone pair up” straight away I paired up with Paige and I wanted to see who paired up with Matt, oh Eve, of course. I could see straight away she had a thing for him I was starting to get angry, I don’t understand why I just met him I shouldn’t be having feelings for him already, should I?

I just stared at them until Matt slowly turned his head towards me, our eyes met for a second I turned my head back to Paige I could feel a blush rising.

“Ok everyone I will hand out a piece of paper and you must answer the following” he said before a piece of paper flew onto our desk, it was probably a lot cooler than handing them out individually, because it just flew onto everyone’s in one go, it was pretty awesome.

“And the pair that answer the most questions, will win a private movie for you and your partner to go see in the library on Saturday, ok begin” he said, wow not a totally a shoty prize it might be something worth winning.

Paige and I start looking over the questions, answering all the ones we know which were most but we got stuck on a few like what movie stars Emma stone and Penne Badgley, how would we know that, the only movies I know are magic ones like Harry Potter, merlin even Eragon. I have never even heard of Emma Stone, that’s what kind of rock my mum and dad have been keeping me under.

The bell finally rings and we put all our paper on his desk and leave the room heading for the lunch room, I do secretly hope we win but I am not going to say anything out loud about it.

“Hey Patiance, how was your holidays, why are you staying here now?” someone asked me interrupting my thoughts I quickly look around to see a short blonde girl.

“Oh hi Cathy, um could we possibly talk later I am a bit busy” I lie but with a smile, I really can’t stand her she’s one of the people who wants to be a somebody but tries too hard and just ends up annoying everybody.

“Hi Patiance” someone else tries talking to me, wait I know that voice; I turn my head a little.

“Hey James, what are you doing here I thought you moved to Charlington” I screamed while almost jumping on him. James is one of my best friends but he was meant to be leaving but obviously I got that wrong.

“Well I was but then there was some sort of outbreak, so I got to come back. Who’s this?” he asks looking behind me. I look and see Paige waiting behind me, holy crap I forgot she was there I am the worst friend ever.

“This is Paige, remember I told you about her and how they wouldn’t let her in because she is a nymph but due to recent events, which I will tell you later about, they have allowed her to attend her now” I say excitedly.

“Well it’s nice to meet you and you are certainly as beautiful as Patiance has told me” he says while shaking her hand. He is such a flirt but I could see that he kind of liked her, but I should probably tell him about George, nah let him figure it out by himself.

“We better go eat something because I am starving” I say, before walking away into the lunch room.
