I walked as slow as I could while I headed south. School wasn't a happy place for me. I never fitted in with anyone at the prep school Mother forced me to go to. This wouldn't be any different.

I mean, I was a girl who dreamed herself into another world that I knew nothing about my surroundings. Even though so far, it seemed like a medieval version of Harry Potter.

The large wooden building became closer in view. A nervous energy filled my body. I was shaking like a leaf. I couldn't do this. I couldn't embarrass myself. I began to cry hot tears.

I felt a small hand on my shoulder. I turned around. A beautiful girl around my age with blonde hair curling to her behind, hiding aquamarine irises underneath her bang. She wore a green blouse paired with black short overalls and black knee high boots. An ebony long bow was mounted on her back. "Something wrong?"

I wiped my tears away. "First day of Magic School."

She patted my head. It was beginning to become a running theme. "Don't worry about it. Lassar gives one-on-one lessons. No reason to panic."

I smiled and breathed. "That's good."

"Yes. See you around." She walked away. Wow, what a cool chick. I wondered what her name was.

But, I had no time to ponder that. Lassar was waiting on me. I ran like Sonic the Hedgehog chasing a chilli dog. Before long, I found myself at the school's door.

Now or never. I opened the door and entered the classroom. "I've been expecting you, Alexxa. Duncan told me you were coming."

I saw the body that spoke such a cute voice. Waves of her red hair came down to her shoulders. Judging by her somewhat small stature, well-proportioned body, and a neat two-piece school uniform, it wasn't hard to tell she was a teacher. The intelligent look in her eyes, the clear lip line and eyebrows presented her as a charming lady.

I moved closer to her. "You must be Lassar."

"I am." She looked me up and down. "And you need an outfit. Hold on." She opened a drawer and pulled out some clothes. She handed them to me. "Here, change right now."

As uncomfortable as it seemed, I carefully pulled off the nightgown and looked at my new clothes. Black jacket, white button up, wide red and white cravat tie, red plaid skirt, gray knee high socks, and brown shoes. I quickly put it all on.

She smiled. "There! Now I can teach you! Where's your wand?"

I held it out. She examined it carefully. "That's your basic Combat Wand."

"This that good?"

"Yes. I'm going to teach you Icebolt." She touched my wand. It glowed blue for a second, but was gone the next. "Now, point your wand at something and yell Icebolt."

I pointed it at a nearby desk. "Icebolt!" A giant bolt shot out and the desk froze.

Lassar clapped. "Perfect! You're a natural! Now, go outside and practice it on some trees."

"Okay!" Thank you!" I skipped out of the room. That wasn't so bad after all.
