Keeper of the Wand

A 'Hairy' Situation

 Hey guys! Second to last chapter of season one! Woo! Anyway, here's the new chapter! :D

-Rose's POV-

I walked next to Star as she sat on top of Cloudy, the pink cloud she summoned from her wand. I sighed and glanced at her, "Can't you walk?"

"I could, but it's more fun when you have magic to help you," she said. Cloudy only giggled, more then happy to be helping Star. I rolled my eyes and ran on ahead. "Hey! Wait for me!" she yelled, starting to huff as if she was running. I ran as fast as I could; just being around Star's magic is infecting mine. Ever since I started practicing with my magic again with Glossaryck, he warned me that the magic from my necklace is strongly connected to the magic of the wand. Even being around Star when she's using it is difficult for me to keep the magic in my necklace contained. Both Star and Glossaryck say I'm fearing my necklace, and shouldn't be.

But after all the events that have happened recently, I can't help but fear my necklace.

I was running so fast that I wasn't paying attention. "ROSE!" I heard, and looked up in time I run into Marco, just as he closed his locker door. We both fell to the ground, me landing on top of him. I looked up and said, "Are you okay?"

"I should be asking you that," he said laughing.

"But your the one who hit their head on the ground."

"And whose fault was that?"

I looked away, feeling bad. Marco pecked my cheek and said, "I'm fine Rose. No need to worry."

"Could you guys just stop being adorable all the time?" we heard. We both looked up to see Star getting off of Cloudy. I got up, and helped Marco up, brushing off any dirt he might've gotten on him. I then noticed something different about him.

"Are you trying to grow a beard?" I asked.

He puffed out his chest proudly and said, "Yep! What do you think of this?"

I giggled, "Peach fuzz is adorable."

He groaned and turned away, opening his locker. I glanced at Star and noticed she was having difficulty opening her locker.

"Do you need help?" I asked. Before I could do anything, she yelled, "Sunshine Locker Slap!"

Marco grabbed me by the shoulders and quickly moved me out of the way. A Minotaur appeared where I had been standing and rams into Star's locker, pulling the door off. She high fived the Minotaur, thanking him.

"Anything for you Star!" he said, running off.

"Can't you do anything without magic?" Marco asked, still gripping my shoulders. I felt the magic building up in my necklace, make it hot. I placed a hand over it, trying to cool it down. But by doing so only burnt my hand. "Ow!" I said, shaking my hand to cool it off.

Star rolled her eyes, "I'm using magic too much? Look at Rose! If she was using it, she wouldn't be facing the problem of her magic overheating."

"Only reason WHY it's overheating is because your using it," I grumbled, as Marco went to go grab some ice from his lunch box.

"It wouldn't be over heating if you just balance your magic out with mine!" Star protested. "This is the third time this week that your necklace has burned you."

Marco had put the ice in a sandwich bag and had wrap it up with paper towels. He handed it to me, just as Jackie skated past us to another classmate of ours, who had a beard.

"Nice beard, Blake" she said.

"Yeah, I grew last night," he commented, as if it was no big deal.
