PROLOUGE
"No, no, no!" I screeched.
"Keira stop acting like a little child the day would come sooner or later." Mom rolled her eyes while putting a piece of clothing in the suitcase she was packing.
"Mom you can't just let me transfer from the school I have been attending for 2 whole years! What about my life, my accomplishments, my friends." Mom raised an eyebrow. Ok, ok, my FRIEND.
"Would you just relax? You will make tons of new friends at your new school. You are a very likable person." I found that hard to believe me,likable? Tell me when pigs can fly and I'll believe you. I was kinda like an outcast but even the outcasts were cooler than me. I was lucky that someone actually talked to me much less having a friend. I doubted myself and my abilities regularly but who could blame me,I wasn't necessarily a 'fine' specimen.
I sat down on my bed,a deep frown etched across my face "Yeah right mom the freaks of freaks are gonna treat me like a freak." She sat next to me and put a hand on my shoulder.
"Sweetheart, you aren't a freak, you're a witch that counts for something right?" I sighed brushing away some of my jet black hair from my face. It was easy fo rher to say, she was gorgeous. She had long brunette hair and the most beautiful brown eyes ever. While I had uncontrollable black hair and green eyes. Don't get me wrong green eyes were beautiful but mine were almost ghoulish looking.
I got up and sighed " What's so good about being a witch if I can't even cast a stupid spell!" I focused my energy on trying to summon a butterfly but my spell backfired and a rat appeared instead.
How the hell could you want a butterfly and get a rat. I mean come on that was such a simple spell even a 4 year old could do that, literally. My little cousin Albert was a wizard and he knew his spells like the back of his hand. Mom chuckled and with the snap of a finger 5 butterflies appeared. I pouted "Show off."
She gave me this intense look "See what I mean? Going to this school will help you to better your spells and improve your accuracy it is specially there to help train all of its magical students who might need guidance." I rolled my eyes "You are an excellent witch why can't I just be homeschooled?" "Keira you already know that I can't do that. The content would be overbearing besides where will the excitement and friendships be?" I slumped down in my chair next to my bed. Mom poked me "Now move your lazy butt and finish up with the packing. I'm in the kitchen if you need me." She got up and closed the door. I wasn't just going to a new school, we were moving which just seemed pointless to me , considering the fact that it was a boarding school. Mom got a new job there which again made no sense considering the fact that she could just train me herself, something about getting a 'better high school experience'. I sighed and got up to finish my packing. I really was going to miss Woodley High School, although it was full of bullies and idiots and populars and noobs and- well you get the point,it was full of stereotypes to which I didn't belong,not even to one. I had no talents, no special abilities, no nothing I was just a useless excuse for a person.
*************************************
The day finally came and it was moving time. A truck came to move our belongings. It was just me ,mom and my cat , Sammy. I despised cats to be honest but I suppose it's custom for witches to have cats right?"Keira come on we are ready." I firmly held on to the bag I had in my hand and waved goodbye to my old house ,it was filled with many memories ,memories that I would never forget.
