Thana the Teenage Witch

Chapter One 

A lot of things changed when I reached the age of fifteen. On the night of my birthday, my mother gave me a box she said it's her present to me, for the first time in my life my mother gave me presents on my birthday. 

It was wrapped in red cloth with a black ribbon tied on it. There was the excitement I felt as I started to open the box. I was almost amazed at what I saw. 

It's a spell keeper necklace that features a beautiful deep, blue cock topped glass vial containing a blend of herbs and its vial is suspended from a Tibetan triquetra charm that was hand made from their ancestor and a spellbound bracelet filled with a mixture of hand-blended magical herbs. 

It is believed that it should be passed to the next generation of witches who are younger to be protected from witches who practice evil deeds. I wore the necklace and the bracelet. On that night everything changed.

There was a light coming from them, it sparkled within my eyes. Those lights make me feel renewed and powerful, those lights that I admire a lot, they are like a pill that makes me alive. I don't know why, but I felt it, there was so much inside of me. 

I felt inside my being a powerful source that binds inside my body, that night I felt that the magical power suddenly emerged in me. 

On that night, I felt that I am completely different from the others, just like my Grandmother always said to me. 

365 Days Past

I was standing in front of St. Claire Academy, one of the prestigious schools in the town of Huesca. My heart is full of excitement as I step on the grounds of the St. Claire Academy. I heard that many people my age are studying here for so many years, I had never been with other people around me. 

I always keep a distance from them, but, right now this is the day to mingle with them. I had promised Grandmother that I would take care of myself and I wore the bracelet and necklace that my mother gave to me on my birthday last year. Another thing is Mia is just around, so I will be safe at all times. 

Mia is my guardian all of a sudden she was coming into my life on the night of my 16th birthday, she suddenly appeared maybe because of the light coming from the necklace and bracelet. 

Mia is a creature who is only a shadow and often she is just like a smoke-shaped human. My mother told me that I should not be afraid of her, she's my guardian and my other half. 

As I walk in the hallway of St. Claire Academy I can sense Mia is following me, I  stopped for a moment and closed my eyes. 

"Come on out, I know you are here". 

After a while, a shadow comes out in front of me and I am never getting wrong that Mia is with me right now and I know that Grandmother sent her to protect me. 

"I'm sorry, your Grandmother wanted me to be here." 

"Oh, yeah! I know as always she does that". 

"How's your school?" 

"Hmm… I don't know yet, it's my first day so I don't have an idea what kind of people they are, And…. 

She turned to Mia to remind her not to do such crazy things here in the St. Claire Academy. 

" What? "

" I just wanted to remind you that don't do any crazy things inside the campus, Okay?" 

Mia doesn't answer her and she had no idea what its reaction would be or if it would follow her. 

They just kept walking towards the building of her classroom and while they are walking Mia was still talking to her and she doesn't notice the young man run towards on her way, they bumped into each other she lost her balance, causing her to fall and she dropped her belongings that scattered along the hallway of the campus. 

"Hey!!!!" as I called him in my loudest voice. 

He turned around and looked at me from head to toe, he was just smiling. I was stunned when he smiled at me. 

"You better watch your steps, baby". He just walked away and left me stumbling to the floor and not even helping me to stand. 

"Oh, damn!! This is the way A boy treats a girl?" 

I can't believe what he showed to me so arrogant, boastful and not even a gentleman different from what I heard and watched from a movie. 

"Did you see that Mia? He's so arrogant!" 

Mia just circled in front of me as I picked my belongings one by one. 

"Do you want me to teach him a lesson?" Mia asked me. 

"Oh! No, no… Don't you dare to do that, remember what I have said, okay? 

Mia just disappeared and she loses in my sight, I tried to stop her, but it's too late. 

" Mia came back here. "

I picked off my things one by one and hurried walking towards the building of my classroom, all of them were staring at me and some were just laughing and mumbling. 

I just ignored them and continued on my walk towards the building of my classroom. I tried to use my magic power to stop the hours and freeze all this place. It doesn't matter to me anymore if it is forbidden to use my magic powers in front of other people. 

Who knows that I am a witch and my name is "Thana the Teenage witch" and I can do whatever I want. 

Five minutes before my classes started, I entered my classroom and at that moment I realised that their world stops, the time has stopped and they are all frozen like ice. 

I flicked my fingers three times to get everything back to normal.

I sit in the back of a row of this room and observe all of the students here inside my class. I wanted to know them all and hopefully, I can make friends with them. 

After a moment a woman entered the room. She's not looking too old at her age and everyone became quiet as she entered the classroom. It will not be a surprise to me that everyone here is afraid of her because she's one of the terror teachers here on campus. 

And of course, I know her, hmm… Not totally but, I had to know her. She's an English literature teacher who hates cockroaches (laugh a little). 

She loves dancing and likes to watch stage drama every end of the year all of her students need to perform like an actress and actors on a stage and many hated it but, I still like her and maybe I should practise my acting skills just like I am always doing to my Grandmother and my mother (chuckles) and yes. I am a good witch actress. 

I have noticed that everyone in this class all ears on her yet, she sounds too bored reciting the famous Romeo and Juliet. 

"Love is a smoke raised with the fume of sighs;

being purged, a fire sparkling in lovers eyes;

being vexed a sea nourished with lovers' tears. 

One of the famous lines that I'd love, I joined her in reciting each word and she noticed me saying it. 

"The girl in the back row stood up." 

I used to point at myself and look around, I stood up in my seat and all of the students were staring at me. 

"What is your name? I guess you're a new student here?" 

And nod is my answer.
