Lucas

Chapter Two 

I stand in the front of the class and started to introduce myself in front of many people, they are all staring at me and waiting to hear my voice. I clear my throat before I start to speak a word. 

"Good morning everyone, I am Thana and I am a new student here." 

I feel a bit timid when I started to introduce myself. I don't even know how will I start or I am thinking that if they will want me to know well. Oh, I guess they are. Well, sometimes acting a normal person is a hard thing to do. 

" So, Ms Thana can you explain to us about the line I am reciting a while ago… The famous Shakespeare Romeo and Juliet line?" 

I feel my knees tremble and my voice rattles with nervousness. I am a witch, but, I can't take this kind of situation I am in right now. 

Ms Traveleyan is waiting for me to say a word and all of my classmates looking at me with excitement in their eyes. I don't know why maybe they want to hear my voice or another reason is to laughs at me? 

I clear my throat before I speak. 

"Ahem… It's like… Li… ke… a" 

I looked behind me when I saw Mia as if she was taking a walk. I wanted to stop her but I couldn't do anything. 

And another that surprises me is the young man that bumped into me earlier. The two of us looked at each other and his gaze penetrated me. I turned my gaze to other students to avoid his eye. I don't know, but I feel this way, I shouldn't be overpowering his looks. 

"Common, Thana I know you can do it." Ms Trevelyan cheers me. 

"Well, it's like a… Saying that love…..can be a source of great….hapiness or great e… I…sadness depending on how it is handled." 

"Good very well said, Ms Thana." 

I impressed Ms Trevelyan with how I explain it and all of the students my classmates followed me by look as I back to my seat. 

The young man, I earlier that bumped into me staring at me, I don't know why. I wiped my face maybe he could see dirt on my face and I still see Mia circled on that young man. I flicked my fingers three times to call Mia's attention. 

"What are you doing?" I asked her in a low voice. 

"I am trying to know him." 

"What? Why did you do that?" My voice gets louder because of the surprise and apparently, they are all looking at me. 

"Oh, sorry… I was overreacted to what Ms Trevelyan said. ( chuckles, breath heavily) 

" Are you crazy? "I started to talk again to Mia in my soft voice. 

" His name is Lucas, I have been following him all the time. "

" Stop it, Mia, otherwise… You know what I mean."

All of a sudden Mia disappeared, she was afraid of what of the things that I will do to her she's a crazy and naughty girl. Sometimes I need to put her in the bottle just to stop her. 

I feel so uneasy, I could feel his presence and I could see his eyes staring at me. I wanted to use my magic power to make him stop staring at me. 

Until the time of Ms Trevelyan class end. I left alone in the classroom and at that moment he is coming over to me. I flicked my fingers again, I need to use my magic power to stay away from me. 

And… Thanks, it works. It was as if he had lost himself and didn't know where to go, he just scratched his head and looked at me as if embarrassed. My power work in just twenty-four hours let see what will happen tomorrow. 

I decided to go outside of the classroom and I went to my locker room to get the books  I needed for my next subject. 

I almost melt in shame as I walk down the hallway, I feel all their eyes are staring at me. I walk in a hurry to avoid them, there were voices that constantly I heard asking who I am? and others laugh because of my personality. 

I am not like the other girls here who we're in fashion dresses. Well, I am different from them. I just wear a plain blouse and a long skirt that almost reached my heel and a sneaker that makes me feel comfortable. 

As I reached my locker I see Lucas standing in front of my locker leaning against my locker, flirting with one of the students here. 

"Excuse me, can you step aside for a moment. I'll just get something from my locker." 

He doesn't say any word he just moves away to my locker and continuing flirting with one of the students and just a moment they are kissing each other, they don't care if everyone sees them. 

I see how he kisses the girl and he almost gasps in-breath and it almost he unbuttons the blouse of the girl he flirting with. 

I just shook my head and quickly picked up on my book and walked away from them.

As I walk back to my classroom someone is following me and calling me. 

"Hey, Miss…" 

I turned to see who was calling me. 

"Oh, thank you." He was almost out of breath because of following me. 

"You walk too Fast, how you do that?" 

"Me?" As I asked him. 

"Yeah" 

"Oh, I just want to get back to get back in my room." 

I thought about what he had seen of me earlier. Maybe I use my power without knowing it. 

"Oh, the classes start in thirty minutes, would you like to join me." 

I can't believe that he invited me this may be a good sign that I can make friends. 

"You must be new here." 

"Yes, I am." 

"Want to join me?" 

"Hmm…yes, sure." 

"I'm Andy, and you are?" 

"Thana." 

"Oh, nice name." 

He took me to the cafeteria and he ordered something for us to eat. He looks so nice and kind to me, he's a bit funny well, yes, he got looks every girl will notice it. 

Andy is too funny he has a lot to talk about. I feel so at ease with him, he made me laugh and I never felt that I was different to the other. 

Right now, I like him. Oppss. I mean I like him to be his friend and I feel that he is a good guy and a weirdo? I guess, maybe?
