Discovering Spells

I woke up, it was a sunny day. Normally in Availia it is like that. The average temperature for the whole year is 18 degrees. So pretty good. Today was my first day in lessons. I was excited. I am a Phoenix so I will learn hand spells and also spells in my Phoenix form. I was pretty excited. I did learn spells at home but it is quite dangerous. Spells can end in injury when adults aren't there to supervise. It was pretty fun being a Phoenix, you can fly really fast. Normally a Phoenix would have a person to protect, you get linked to them. Phoenix's are like that because they are loyal and powerful. I soon traveled to my class. It took a
bit of time but its cause I'm new. I arrived and the class was fun. I learned different spells and they have difficult names to pronounce. The teacher said to ignore the names and just think what you want to do in your head. I was surprised I learnt so much in one lesson. I guess that's why there are only three years in this school. Me and Andrea decided just before I dinner we were going to practise our spells we learnt. We walked over to the field beside the grand building.
"Show me your best spell Andrea."
"Okay then."
She lifts her hands and focuses her eyes on the little ball she creates.
"This little white ball is a protective bubble,look I will put it over you."
She made it larger and the height of me, she then signalled this big, translucent ball over to me.
"Wow Andrea, your good at that."
"Thanks, go on and show me your Phoenix form then."
I nodded. I clapped twice and jumped at the same time. A white sparkle surrounded me for a few seconds. I then flapped my wings and held the same height and hovered above the ground.
"Wow! That's so cool. Kaia your something else."
I flew up above Andrea and put my feet on her head.
"Kaia, stop! That tickles!"
I closed my eyes in my Phoenix form and transformed back into my normal form. I landed on Andrea. We both laughed. It was time to go to dinner again.
Later on, we studied in the library. The teacher told us that you have an assessment for every lesson each month. The teacher also said in lesson that the first assessments we have are easier because the are the first ever ones we had done. I didn't really worry about it, I never really struggled with tests in high school. Today was a tiring day. I decided to take an early night.
It was time to go to lessons again, it was nearly the end of the week anyway. There are also seasonal parties to keep up students morale. The Christmas party, The Halloween party also a summer and spring one. Today I was feeling rather cheeky. I creeped up to Andrea and she was still sleeping.
"YOOHOO!"
She jumped and let out a little scream.
"Let me sleep you weirdo, I literally had a heart attack."
"Well it's 7:50, we need to leave for breakfast at 8:20."
She looked and me and rubbed her eyes. She got up and yawned as she went to the bathroom.
"Okay, wait a couple minutes."
I waited patiently and we soon went to breakfast. Today I told Andrea about Brandon, she suggested I should try find him again. I didn't really know what to do. But there is a welcoming party this weekend at the school so I could try find him then.
"Well I think you should find him at the party, it's gonna be fun!"
"Yeah, I don't know. I don't really know him that much?"
"You will be fine, just don't be all shy. Be the confident you."
"God, okay. This counts as a dare though cause I can dare you."
"Oh no,no,no. I never said I was going to do anything."
"C'mon, if I do something you have to too."
"Mmm..Maybe. It depends how i feel on the night."
"Anyway I have no idea what to wear, this will be a disaster if I don't know what to wear."
"Let's both either be glamorous or sexy casual."
"I think we should be glamorous, I can be sexy casual in class."
I chuckled.
"Kaia! You naughty girl."
"That's me."
To actually think about it though. What was I going to wear? If I see Brandon I want to look really nice. Maybe I could wear heels, only three inch ones though. I was brought up in trainers and not any fancy shoes.
