Chapter One

The alarm goes off Beep Beep. I turn over and bring the covers over my head. Just as I’m about to drift back to sleep, my roommate and best friend comes screaming, "Wake up call!" she bellows. As you can see she is a very loud person and an early riser. Her name is Marlisa...Weird name right? Ha! But it suits her. Just when I thought she was going to leave me, she gets a bucket of cold mother fucking water and splashes it all over me. So the bed is wet and I included.
"What the hell!?!" I scream.
"Just waking you up." Marlisa grins and hands me a towel and a change of clothes
"Thanks," I mutter under my breath and then sigh.
“ Don’t worry today is going to be great! Starting fresh and a new beginning," Marlisa says all joyful. Hmm big shocker. Marlisa always wanted to start fresh, but we couldn’t, we had to wait for the right moment. And I suppose the right moment was today. Ugh! Why today out of all the other days. Karma always ends up biting me in the ass. Lucky me! I change into the clothes and put my hair in a clip. Then I get in the car. “Wait a moment,” I hear Marlisa say.
“What now?” I ask.
“Backpacks!” she exclaims, then hands me a purple polka dot backpack.
“Thanks again,” I say. Wait. I forgot something… Oh Yea! My name is Rosalinda-Marie. Honestly the name is pretty, but it sounds too girly. But, whatever. After I take my backpack, we get into my shiny Grey Volvo. I put the key in, start the car, and start driving to our destination. It only took us ten minutes to get there since I drive pretty fast. Next to me Marlisa is shaking with excitement.
”This is going to be great!” Marlisa squeals.
“Yea, sure, sure,” I say flatly. We get out the car and stand in front of the school like a bunch of idiots who never seen a humongous high school.
“New Braven High School” Marlisa says.
“Well that’s something.” I laugh.
“This place is so fricken BIG,” she whispers.
“Yupperz,” I say. We head for the front office to get our class schedule.
“Um hi... We’re here to retrieve our class schedule,” Marlisa says calmly and sweet.
“Names?” the lady asks, annoyed. Why on earth is she annoyed?
“Mayford and Wutherkin,” I say.
“Ah! Rosalina-Marie Mayford and Marlisa Wutherkin?” The lady asks curiously.
“Yes ma’am,” I answer.
“Here.” She hands us our schedules.
“Thank you very much.” Marlisa smiles. She walks our first and I follow. She hands me my scdeule. Oh my gosh. Spanish, Calculus, Gym? What kinda fucking classes are these? Seems like Marlisa read my mind because she says “Hey, I know its not a charmed or spell class but it’s a start for a new beginning. And I hope we can fit in. I have to admit its better than Witch University. That’s good right?” Before I could answer some hot, mysterious guy walks our way and smiles, and says something. But I’m too shocked by his presence, his beauty. I just felt warm and shaky.
“What?” I manage to say.
“Aren’t you the new girls? Word travels really fast around here” he says smoothly. “Oh sorry! My name is Josh. And your names are?” he asks, his voice sweet like sugar.
“Uh…uh I-I’m Rosalinda-Marie,” I say trying not to stutter, “But you can call me Rosa-Marie,” I say, finishing. Then I motion toward Marlisa “This is my cousin Marlisa, but you can call her Mar.” I smile gently. He returns my smile but much more effective.
“Beautiful names for beautiful ladies.” He turns around for a seconds. “Nice meeting you,” he says as he faces us again.
“Same here,” I choke out. Then, next thing I know I hear this high squeaky soprano voice.
“Joshie? Omigawd! There you are.” She wraps her arms around his arms.
“I was just talking to some friends,” he says, then tries to smile.
“Hmm,” the girls says.”I’m Candy.” Her eyebrow slightly twitches. “And his girlfriend,” she adds last minute. I forgot Marlisa was right next to me.
“Well nice to meet you,” She says to Candy nicely.
“Well enough of introductions. I have to- I mean we have to go. And Candy Hun you’re looking like a slut. Also Josh it was nice to meet you.” I grin and walk towards the car.
“What the Hell?” Marlisa stammers when she gets in the car. Ignore her and drive. Something to the left corner of my eye catches my attention. Pictures of Candy on a car. Wow that the most stupid thing to do to your car. I don’t think, I just bump her car and drive off.
“Sorry. Tomorrow is going to be different.” I turn to Marlisa. She takes out her phone and dials.
“Hello! Yes! I need you. When can you be here?” Oh no! I know who she’s calling. The guy I’m totally in love with since ever! We used to be best friends till we kissed. I mean I loved it. It was just so hard to be a couple and study Witch crap.
“NOOO!” I try to snatch the phone from her but she mumbles a spell, which makes me freeze. Don’t you just love getting frozen? “Mar No Don’t!” I scream at the top of my lungs. All I remember was waking up in my room. I open my eyes and see him. He doesn’t realize I’m up. “Drew?” I say in a small voice.
“Morning, surprised? Missed me?"Drew answers and asks. Instead of answering his questions I walk to him and hug him. Moments later he kisses me. My heart flutters. And I kiss him back. I pull away. As much as I hate to, we just cant do this right now.
“Yeah I definitely missed you,” I say.
“So why exactly did you leave before saying bye?” he asks.
“School?” I answer weakly.
“Rosy that’s weak. Try again,” he whispers. Rosy was his nickname for me. Damn! I can’t tell him the truth.
“I cant …” is all I could think of.
“Then tell me why.”
I try to look away but he just puts his fingers under my chin and turns my head so were face-to-face again. A tear rolls down my cheek. Drew wipes it and drops the topic. We stare at each other. Examining. He has light brown eyes and so beautiful they make my heart melt. He smiles, the smile that gave my heart a little squeeze. I finally noticed that he had dimples. Still standing there not saying a word, we hear a scream so we start running toward the sound. There right in front of us. The evilest Witch and Warlock Crew. Basically what they do is kill anyone in their way and bring recruiting Witches and Warlocks to Witch University. Or “back” to Witch University. Oh, Shit!
