The Witch chapter 1

Here we are. Another year at Spellbound High. Thankfully it's our last year! We've been waiting for so long to get here! The top of the school. We are going to have so much fun this year! It has nothing to do with being popular, there are quite a few popular kids who like to look down on the underclassmen... But that's not us. We just want to have fun.

I giggle as I look at my best friend in the whole world. Her golden hair shines in the early morning sun. I swear she was born with sparkles in her skin... There is just something about her that just... shines! It may be her beautiful personality.

"What do you think is gonna happen this year Nadia?" I ask, unable to keep my enthusiasm in. I'm hoping this will be the best year ever! It's not like we are leaving or anything. We'll all be going to the Enchanted Forest University next year. Our Fates are more or less intertwined and we will be best friends forever.

Nadia is a fairy. She is a gently soul and pretty shy... But that's why I love her. Of course it isn't the only reason. She is very intuitive, and if there is something wrong, she knows exactly what to say to make me feel better. She is the closest thing I have to a sister... I've been stuck with a big brother, not that I don't love him, but there are some things you just can't tell your brother!

"I don't know. Hopefully something awesome!" she giggles, leaning over and giving me a side hug. "This year we'll finally be old enough to join the council... Maybe we'll find boyfriends too?"

"You know it's gonna be great!" Phoebe snickers, bumping shoulders with me. "After all it's our final year! Our training will be complete and we will have our own place and destinies to fulfill."

Phoebe is a phoenix. She has a twin brother named Knox. He's a thunderbird. Together, they are unstoppable! She is one of the strongest girls I've ever met. She doesn't put up with crap from any of the school bullies either. Not that there aren't plenty who wish harm on her or our friends. But she can hold her own if she needs to.

Chloe sighs wistfully. "I hope its gonna be our best year... we can't exactly do it over again," she states. "Unless one of us can figure out how to turn back time... Not that I would do that even if we could. It could really mess up the time line."

Chloe is technically a Forest Nymph, but she prefers to be called a wood sprite... Either way, she's probably the most mellow of the group. She's what I like to call a nature freak... all good naturedly of course! She's very environmentally minded, always trying to help out Mother Earth. She is the very definition of a flower child.

"Well, I vote we rock this year!" Cheers Selene, bouncing on her toes like an excited three year old who had eaten too much sugar. If there was someone I would classify as a cheerleader, it would be Selene... Only she despises the cheerleaders in our school. They are all snobs and Selene is just too cheerful.

Selene is a siren. She has the most amazing voice! And yeah, I could totally see her luring men to their deaths... if she wasn't so freaking sweet! She really does love to sing, and it doesn't matter what it is that comes out of her mouth, she could lull a gang of bikers to sleep... But she only puts her magic into her singing when she's nervous.

"Hey, guys," a masculine voice calls from behind me. One I've memorized forever. My heart starts to pound in my chest. I need to calm down before I'm able to look up at him... But what is he doing here?

I turn around to find Trey, Nadia's older brother. His eyes are a sparkling blue and that cocky smile he always has. There is just something about Trey that I find dreamy. I don't know what it is that is so alluring, his eye, his smile, his scent... Or if it's just him. But I always feel better when I'm with him.
