“Tell me why am I doing this again?” Bea asks Jonathan.

“We're going to test if Keith is your destined! Concentrate Bea!”

She tried. She really did. But whenever Keith's mame is mentioned all she can hear is her heart beating fast.

“Okay.” she gulps.

Jonathan  and Bea hide behind a wall. Jonathan looks at Bea.

“Bea, Keith is over there talking to Andrew. All you have to do is hit him with your magic and see if it hurts him.”

“What if it does hurt him Jonathan? I'm scared.” she feels worried.

“Use a small spell that won't hurt much. If it doesn't work. ” he shrugs.

“But I don't want to hurt him” she whined.

Jonathan looked at her, a serious expression on his face.

“Bea this is an important situation. Dandilia depends on this. If you don't do it, you'll never know!”

Bea nods, determined to do it this time. She closes her eyes and thinks about a paintball, she gulps, feeling the weight on her hands.

*For my people.*

She opens her eyes and goes to the edge of the wall. She sees Keith talking to Andrew.

*Please don't do anything stupid Bea. God please let this work!*

She takes in a deep breath. She starts to sweat. Her hands feel sweaty.

“Come on Bea! You can do it!” Jonathan whispers behind her.

Bea then throws her magical paintball at Keith. It hits him.

But he doesn't even move. No even a flinch.

Bea just stands there, stunned.

“Bea it doesn't hurt him! He is your destined!!” Jonathan whispers when Bea comes to stand beside him.

She doesn't reply.

“Wait till I tell Havana! She's going to be super Happy!!” Jonathan claps his hands in excitement.

“Keith what is on your back?!”

Jonathan turns to look at Andrew who just notice the paint on his shirt. Keith just looks at it. His eyes widen.

“It is a paintball!” Andrew exclaims. “Didn't you feel it when it hit you? It would have hurt bad!!”

“I didn't know. I couldn't feel it at all!” 

“Something's wrong. Wait a minute! — Andrew looks at Jonathan's direction— who's there! Who is playing pranks around here!” he shouts.

Jonathan hides behind the wall panting.

“Bea, I guess we sho—” he turns to find an empty place.

“Bea? Where are you?”

*She ran off! This girl!*  he huffs and walks back home.

_______

Bea ran the moment Jonathan turns to look back at Keith.

*Oh my God! Keith is my destined!* 

The same thing kept repeating on and on.

She ran at a fast pace back home.
As soon as she entered home, she ran straight up to her room and ran to the bathroom. She washed her face and looked at her reflection in the mirror.  Her face was red from all the blushing and running.
