Home is where the magic is

"Wow,  everything they have now still amazes me, there's so much advancement!" I think I heard my best friend say, all I could think about was the dirty blond hair... 

"So many books, which you should be reading, you know, to get us home?" What was she talking about? Oh, those deep brown eyes "Yeahhhh" I couldn't help it, I actually sighed.. what?

"You're thinking about him... again..." 

"Yeahhh"

"SAM!"

"What?!" Why was she yelling at me?! Oh, she was talking.. whoops..

"You don't even know this guys name, yet he is all you can think about! How about working on your magic so we can get home and beat this stupid witch." 

Alyssa was right, I was focusing on this guy wayyyy too much. Alyssa and I aren't from around here, I am a princess, sort of, my father is loyalty but my mother, not so much, she was a witch. My father took me in though when I found him and I had been adjusting to royal life, again, sort of. Now, Alyssa here, she is a full blooded princess, both parents are the richest royal family actually, we met at a ball, she saw me stuggling and helped me right away, there was something strange about her but I couldn't put my finger on it. After a year of knowing each other we spilled the beans, she told me she was a healer and a half witch and I told her I was a full witch (yeah, dad had some in his blood too). It was amazing to not feel alone! We have been best friends ever since

"Ok, I have no clue what to do! My mother only taught me so much before.. you know.. and my father didn't want me practicing inside the castle and I couldn't find anymore witches..." This was starting to become too much for me alone.

This evil witch ,whom for some reason wants Alyssa and I, tried capturing us one day, I did a spell by accident and sent us forward in time, or to another dimension or something, or both, we really don't know. We enrolled in highschool and are starting our senior year, when we went to band (yes, I know, don't judge) we saw so many people there that we recognized it was scarey. We still don't know exactly what's going on.

"Well, maybe if you read more of these grimours we would find out." She looked so sad, she misses her family so much. "I know.. there is just something about this boy.. I think he can help in all honesty." Alyssa looked at me like I was insane, maybe I was? "How about you talk to him at band camp?"

What did she just say?!

"What?! Thats three weeks away!" I couldn't wait that long..

"ok, well voluntary rehearsals start tomorrow, maybe he will be there."

"If not Herrera can talk to him" ... ok... I can do this... Why in the world am I so nervous to talk to a guy?

*******************************************************************************

"Herrera!" Man, why was it always so hard to find this kid?

"Huh? Oh, hey Sam, whatcha need?"

"Who's the senior in your section?"

"Oh, his name is Alex Wilson."

"Sweet, thanks!" Wow.. that name.. why does it make me smile so much? "Is he going to be here today?"

"Yeah, he's already here, didn't you see him?"

"In all honesty I maybe saw his face once, most of the time it's been a side profile or the back of his head." I sound so lame..

"Wow, well nows your chance to get a good look at him, he's the blondish one walking this way on your right."

"Oh no.." No.. No way, it can't be! "Thanks, see you soon." Alyssa.. where are you!?

"Woah woah, Sam, are you okay?" No, no I am not okay!

"No, no I am not okay! It's the knight that died protecting me from the witch.." How could he be back? I saw him die before my eyes.. 

"No, it's his doppelganger, I think the witch put a curse on us before we left, I've seen a lot of people from both our kingdoms, but it really isn't them..." Why is she this sad? Did she see her family? We have to figure this out.

"He's coming this way! What do I do?!" Alyssa grabbed my shoulders and looked into my eyes. "You're a freaking princess and a witch!" She hissed the last part of the sentence. She was right though. "You can do anything you set your mind to." 

She was right, I shouldn't be so afraid. I walked up to Alex and tapped his shoulder, he turned around and our eyes met, the world stopped for a moment and we just stayed there, oh his eyes are so beautiful!

"Hi.. hi.. I'm Sam."

"Hey, I'm Alex. Wow, you look so familiar."

"Trust me, so do you."

"You're new here, right?"

"Yeah, I just moved here at the end of last school year."

"That's what I thought, well it is nice to officially meet you Sam." He shakes Sams hand and smiles at her. Wow, it's a nice smile. "Same to you, Alex." Oh, I must look like an idiot with my grin.

"Alex!" Who is that?

"Oh no.."

This girl runs in between Alex and Sam. Who does she think she is? "Hi Alex! Will you sit by me today?" Wow.. try hard much? "Um.. yeah.. sure.. I guess." Noooo, what are you doing Alex! You clearly don't like her! "Yay! Let's go now!" She tries to pull Alex away but he won't move. "Woah, we have a half and hour until rehearsal starts, you can go sit down, i'll be there soon." Good job! "No, i'll stay right here." She stands in front of Sam trying to talk to Alex. All right, that's enough..

"Um, excuse me. I don't know who you are but Alex and I were kind of talking." Smooth, genious.

"I'm Allison, his best friend."

"And why should that matter? I was talking to him first."

"Yeah, she was Allison, and I was  enjoying our conversation" He smiles up at Sam "until you pushed her away. So go away, i'll sit by you during rehearsal, but for now I have someone I want to talk to."

He extended his arm out to me and I wrapped mine through his, he guided us to the band room and we sat down for a little bit.

"I'm sorry about Allison, she has a huge crush on me and since my girlfriend and I broke up she's been bothering me even more."

"It's okay, I understand." Really.. do you?!

"So why did you move here and where from?"

"Um, Atlanta.... and I heard about the music program, I have family here and they had kids in it a while back, so far so good."

"That's good, what do you play?"

"Oh, flute, piano, a little guitar, and some trumpet."

"Hey, my main instrument is the trumpet, well, here anyways. I play almost everything besides the flute."

"Wow, Mr. Man-of-Many-Talents" Oh man, it's almost time to start..

"Hey, here's my number, if you can't find me after rehearsal just text me, ok?"

"Sounds good" I could feel my cheeks getting rosier by the second

"Good" Wow, that smile...

*Authors Notes*

Hey everyone! This is kind of an experimental book, I'm trying to write in paragraph form and I figured might as well try! This is an original idea of mine, I hope you like it!

*Hiccup*

P.S.. Eventually some things might heat up, i'm a teenager, it happens ;) I'll warn you at the beginning of the chapter though!
