The Wishing Games: Fairy-Tale's Truth

Chapter 1 - The Invitation

It was just another day in school, with the three of us brothers sitting in history class, listening to our teacher. Well more like our teacher talking about some weird random stuff while everyone else worked. Ryan, Logan, and I were in the back of the class talking since we had finished our work right when he handed it out. Logan was drawing on the desk well, I wouldnt say drawing, more like carving into the desk.

Logan, would you cut that out, youll get us in trouble, Ryan said in a loud whisper.

No I wont, will you stop worrying? By the way, nice pun, Logan replied snarkily.

Yes, I suppose its important to mention that we all have superpowers. Weve just become so accustomed to them, that now, it seems like its natural. Ryan and I are more responsible with the way we use our powers, while Logan enjoys messing around and having a little too much fun.

Ryan, dont worry; Ill just charmspeak him to make him think someone else did it, I said like it was no big deal.

You can Asher, but it will be risky, Ryan explained with worry, youve charmspoke him far too many times. Hes bound to know when you do it, you know its dangerous to use your powers on mortals too often. Besides, the principal said if we used our powers again in school well be suspended.

Sothe three of us get our work done, even without knowing the material, and we get decent grades to pass our classes. I dont see the big deal.

Logan quickly retracted his claw that he was using to carve and put his hand on top of the drawing, so the teacher wouldnt see it as he walked by our desks. The teacher squinted at us as he got closer. Once he got to our table, he examined us to see if we used our powers. Logan quickly covered his knuckles with his jacket, because there were scars on his hands, and they were open.

Have you boys finished your work? the teacher asked with suspicion.

Yes Mr. Randy, we finished it right when you handed it to us, I said to him with a grin on my face and a hidden wink to the other two.

How? The work was on a new topic.

Were heavy readers; plus, you usually talk about unimportant things that no one cares about.

Ryan motioned to me to cut it out and stop what I was doing.

By the way Mr. Randy, someone carved this picture into Logans desk.

It took a moment for him to respond.

Ok, thanks for the tip Asher, Mr. Randy said as he gave me a pat on the back.

Mr. Randy went back to his desk and jumped on his computer, most likely to email another teacher to get the other student that sits at Logans seat to meet him after school. The three of us started discussing ways we could practice our powers without hurting anyone until the bell rang for school to be over. Then we packed up our things and headed out the front of the school. As I was about to step out into the street, the principal laid her hand on my shoulder.

Crap, Ryan was right, I thought to myself.

Asher, we need to talk, she said with irritation in her voice.

I waved to the others to circle around to the principal's window as we walked back into the school. The principal and I entered the office.

The first thing she said was, Seriously, you should know better. Weve given you many warnings. Now tell me what you did.

I didnt do anything, I said as I sat down in a chair in front of her desk and crossed my arms behind my head for a headrest.

Dont you lie to me! What did you do?! she yelled demandingly.
