"Ow! Damn you! Why do you have to rush? It's Saturday! No classes until the night lessons!" Alex's voice is excruciatingly loud. I wasn't aware that it was the weekend today. I don't really notice the day when I am not at school. I think my birthday is soon. I'm not sure though. Its sometime in autumn but I am literally clueless. Neal. Chloe, Mia, Alex. Why did they come on a weekend to pick me up? Why are they trying so hard to be nice to me? Why me? The freak that got kicked out of school for using magic.
"Caren, you have magic in you. I know you do." Neal's voice comes from right beside me. "Why are you afraid of it?" I have to speak. I have to. What will I say? He's looking at me like he's asked something simple, like it's a simple answer. "I'm not afraid, I'm... different to everyone. That's all." I probably sound really rude right now. Why does Chloe have tears in her eyes? Why did everything get so weird all of a sudden? Why is Neal next to me? Why does my heart have to beat so fast?
