❝Art is magic delivered from the lie of being truth.❞

                          ******

       I woke up pretty late today and missed my sparring class. Felicity was nowhere to be found. I remember her telling me that fairies have early morning classes.

Munching on some cookies I ran out of the school building towards the greenhouse near the lake. It was apparent that some major horticulture experiment took place there. Never had I seen such an elaborate and technologically advanced greenhouse before.

Nurse Ava was our healing teacher. And today we were in the greenhouse to resurrect some dead,dried potten plants. Each one of us flanked the huge wooden table with a plant infront of us.

Nurse Ava smiled at me. I still couldn't believe how beautiful and kind she was. She held up a print of a clover shaped rune as she started the class.

'Now students, all witches can heal other beings but to varying level. It all requires practice. But you must understand, you cannot bring back a life once it has already crossed the netherworld. So don't sweat on it. Simple living beings like plants unlike complex animals are easier to resurrect. Now all of you try bring the plants infront of you back to life.'

I had already brought a cat back to life once I was young. So I believe it would be easier for me. But even after trying for four times when I failed to do so, I remembered the green eyed guy's advice.

And voila the dead plant bloomed into green leaves.

I really wanted to find the guy and thank him. And as my eyes swept through the room, I found him talking to a tall brunette. Both of the plants were in full bloom with colourful flowers adorning the green.

Yesterday I have planned on making some new friends her. Foster care led to a lot of school changes so I never really got a friend back them. I was bullied and laughed upon sometimes and it made me totally underconfident in the friends department. But as I was wondering all this, that girl came over to me.

'Hi, I am Taira. I saw you looking at us. I heard you are new here.'

I definitely blushed at how cute and friendly she was. Extending my for a handshake, I introduced myself. ' Hey, I am Myra.'

The girl Taira engulfed me in a hug,'Gosh our names totally sync, we are meant to be bestfriends' she giggled. Taira dragged me to her group of friends. Yes,the green eyed guy was also there.

' These are my friends, Nathan and Leah. Hugging the green eyed guy, she said, ' And this is my twin Rebal.'

So first things first. I chided myself for not noticing how similar they looked- both were green eyed and brunettes. They looked really like twins. Second- so the one I wanted to thank was Rebal, the Rebal, whom Felicity described as a self-concieted, rude jerk? The leader of the so called 'genius' gang? No wonder he was so good at doing magic.

Nathan and Leah were both sweet and made small conversation with me about my time in the outside world. Rebal totally ignored me and played with the leaves in his pot,changing its colours. I could totally feel his dislike towards me radiating like a sun. Forget the thank you.
