Luke was bored out of his mind.
It's only been two days since the Christmas break had started and he already hated being home and missed his friends.
He could only find two reasons why it was good to be home.
The first one was seeing his parents. Both, his mum and dad were excited to see him for more than a weekend and his dad would never work when his boys were home. They went on trips without his dad's parents and were actually a normal family.
Luke wasn't sure if this year they'd go alone or have the bodyguards his grandma has hired with them.
Secondly, when he was saying his goodbyes to his friends something horrible had happened. They all exchanged their secret Santa gifts which really weren't a secret. Luke, Calum, Lia, Liam, Michael, and Ashton all knew each other well enough to know who had wrapped which gift. While Luke had to gift Liam he knew his gift was from Michael.
Luke hugged all of his friends when they were leaving and when his parents came to pick him up he and Michael were the last ones there.
They hugged and when Luke moved away Michael decided to kiss his cheek and it all ended in a way that they had a half kiss. Luke was so embarrassed he quickly said goodbye and disappeared as quickly as he could.
So in that way it was good, he wouldn't see Michael in a while. At least not until after New Year when Luke would hopefully go and see Michael's show.
He was especially looking forward to seeing the painting with which Michael took the first prize in Mrs. Stillwater's class.
While on break Luke tried his hardest to avoid his grandparents. He knew them well enough to know that the only excuse he could use was school.
Either he was reading books, doing his homework, or practicing magic, all just not to face his grandparents.
His favorite way of spending time was in the practice room. Luke knew it sounded obscure but his family was wealthy so each of the sons of Andrew Hemmings had a room in which they could practice their magic. The practice rooms of Luke's older brothers were filled with water elements and Luke's room had a big telescope and a big balcony. In winter Luke was able to chill in the closed part of the balcony and observe the space through the glass.
In the second year, they started to learn much more about the magic they channel.
The reason channeling magic from the universe was so special was that it could interfere with other elements. Luke was able to move the sea with the help of tide which was caused by the moon. He was able to evaporate water or start a fire with the help of sunlight. Sun was also what he used to help plants with growing.
Luke's favorite ability that they just started to learn was to make his own version of North Star.
"What are you doing?"
Luke turned back to his brother Ben standing in his training room.
The youngest Hemmings smiled. "What do you normally do in a training room? I'm training."
Ben walked onto the balcony and sat down on the sofa Luke had there.
"But you're just sitting."
