Hidden Away from the Inevitable

Chapter 1

It is the last day of Summer. School Starts tomorrow, So I don't want this day to end. I Just want to Stay in my Room, On my computer talking to all of my online friends. Because they Understand me.

I Wake up at at 1:00 PM, Last night i didn't go to Bed until 6 AM. I Wanted to soak up every Second of what i have left before going to my first Day of High School. I Barely made it though Middle School, Both Grade wise and Mental. So How am i gonna handle High School?

I Get out of bed and Realize that i am only wearing my Underwear. It got so Hot last Night because our Air Conditioner Broke, But Now It's Fixed. I Think Mom had a repair Guy over when i was asleep.

I Get My Clothes on because Mom hates it when i am just walking around with barely anything on. I Put on Some Jeans because my Mom has yet to do the Laundry. I Also put on a thin White Shirt because it's really hot outside. I Then get out of my Room and head for the Bathroom that is across from my Mothers room. I Walk as quietly as I Can, Just so that i don't wake up Mom is she's still sleeping. I Brush my Teeth and i fix my messy bed head. I was just about to use the toilet, when my Mom Barges in. She Says "Vance! There you Are! I Was worried when i didn't see you in your bed." i cut her off. "Mom! Privacy!" My Mom realizes that I need to use the Toilet. She Says "Oh. I am Sorry, i just thought that They.." I cut her off again. "Don't worry Mom, they didn't get me. I am Fine. If they got me, you also wouldn't be here. " I Say, trying to calm her Down. "Yes. OK. Your Right. I'll leave you to do your needs. I'll be in the Living Room" My Mom Says as she leaves.

One Thing i forgot to mention is that, In This World, Humans have Evolved to have Magic. 95% of People have Magic, and we call them "Mages" because we are Creative i guess. the Other 5%? Well, That's Just Humans. And They Are being Hunted Down. Mages say "Normal Humans are just a Waste of Space, And Should be Killed on Sight!" and so that's what they did. I, Vance, Am Living with my Mom at the age of 15, Seems Normal but We are Both Humans, so us living this long is outstanding.

Mages are Generally Smarter than Humans, They're faster than us, Stronger, And Have Better Ability's Than us. In High School, We get to Choose a Class of Magic we want to do. I Even got a Paper That Says This

"Your Child still needs to pick a Magic Class, Otherwise they won't be involved in any Magic Activity's. Your child has the Following options to choose from. Note: These are classes that all students can pick, so your child is not left out.

Alteration - Your child will learn how to affect the world around them by altering the laws of reality and manipulating it to one's own accord. This Class of Magic will take a lot of Patience and practice.

Conjuration - Your Child will learn to summoning creatures or objects they desire. this class of magic takes a lot of thinking and practice.

Destruction - your child will learn many means of inflicting damage. This Class of Magic takes Dedication and Practice. This Class is also widely use in modern day army's.

Illusion - Your child will learn how to focus on changing there perception of the world from the viewpoint of the target. This Class of magic takes Focus and Practice.

Restoration - Your Child will learn spells that cure physical ailments. This class of Magic will take Kindness and Practice.

We hope to get your submission by August 1st

From, Cali Wood High School"

I won't be taking any of these classes for obvious Reasons. One, I can't learn magic and putting me in one of these classes will make everyone know that, and i will die. Secondly, I don't wanna be in any class with Sally, That one Basic Girl who is the Strongest Mage in Middle school, and most likely in High School. She is Almost a Master in all five classes of magic, so she can kick my butt if i insult her in any way. She also happens to be my Bully, Cliche, I Know. But this is how life is.

But there will be one thing I'll look forward in High School. Seeing my Crush Asher. Most People Call Him Ash, And i would too if i even Talked to him. Most of the time i Stalk him when i feel like it. This Started in Middle school of the 6 grade and by now, i am practically an Expert at Stealth.

It is now 8 PM. This Day is Going by so Quick, i hate it. Maybe School will go by this quick so i don't have to deal with anyone. I Put on my Shoes and go to my Mom. "Mom, I am  gonna go to The spot i always go to. be back in half an hour." I say as my Mom looks at me. "OK, Be safe though!" My Mom yells at me as i go out the door

The Place i love to go to is this view from the Hill nearby. I Walk up the steps to the top of the Hill. It's Really Popular so they added steps. When i am at the Top, i up my Hands on the Safety Bars and Look up. The Big Moon is slowly rising, and Stars scatter the sky. It Mange to Amaze me every time. I Look around and i See Couples being Romantic as i am there all alone. So, I Picture in my Head that me and Asher are on at Date as we look at the View.

After about a Half hour of me Fantasizing of something that'll never happen. I go Back down the Steps and go Home. My Mom Greets me and says "OK, Get your Butt to bed. And if i see you on your Computer or Phone, i will take it away from you." I take off my Shoes and go to my room. i then put on my Pajamas. Tomorrow is the Start of Hell.
