It was the start of school I had just gotten in my Dad's car to be dropped off. As I got in, he handed me the book my grandpa gave me before he kicked the bucket "read this for me while you are there" he said handing me the book gingerly. I have to admit I was confused when he handed it to me because any time I had tried to get it before he would yell at me and I swore the ground shook when he did. A little later I was at lunch and chose to crack it open so I did. To my surprise most of the pages where empty except for two of them one said at the top "Rules to using proper magic" I was shocked "magic?" I said to myself in disbelief. the next page said "Choose your class" with four words in a gold box "Fire, Water, Earth, Air" they read. Right then I was thinking "how stupid does he think I am?". So out of boredom, I touched the box that read fire, and to my surprise more showed up called sub-classes. After that, I finished eating and put the book back in my bag to ask my dad about it when I got home.

After school, I was walking outside to go to my dad's car with the book in my arms closed. I got in his truck and asked him "what kind of an idiot do you take me for?" I said aggravated. "so you read it?" he perked up in excitement. Boy, when I saw his face I was beyond pissed "You really think I believe in magic " I yelled... I was yelling at my Dad, usually I never do this but as I was going off my hair Busted into a blue flame. "You chose fire!" my Dad said in excitement. After he said that I took a good look at my hair and well I don't think I ever screamed that loud...and then I passed out. Next thing I knew I was on the couch and my hair was blue. I looked over to my dad in the chair "so ya gonna tell me about the cuts on your back?" he said concerned. I'm not gonna lie I had a chill run through me. "well I umm" I had no clue what to tell him what kid would. He sighed "listen I know you are still upset about your mom and gramps but this isn't okay" I cant tell you how awkward this is. "dad I need some space for a bit" after I said that I ran outside into the backyard garden to try and relax. I sat down in between two rose bushes with a book eventually I fell asleep.
