A loud siren noise blared through the room. β€œUghhh! 5 more minutes!!!”, Addison grunted. β€œRia, can you get that?”, Addison said. Soteria was lying at the foot of her bed in the form of a black cat. She just turned away and licked her paw. β€œFine.”, Addison said. She sat up and her palm landed on the snooze button. She rolled off the bed and accidentally hit her head on the nightstand. She winced in pain, rubbing her head. Addison heard footsteps coming up the stairs. β€œAddyyy! Breakfast time!!”, someone said in a sing-songy voice. Addy looked at Ria. β€œWhere is HER snooze button! It's 6 am! It should be forbidden to wake up this early”, she thought. β€œComing Aunt Gemma!”, she shouted. She quickly got dressed and rushed downstairs.

Gemmaline turned to Addy as she walked downstairs. β€œI made your favorite! Enchantaberry Waffles!”, she said.  β€œWhat’s the occasion?”, Addy said, as she put a waffle in her mouth.
β€œYour first day of high school silly!”, Gemma said in a joyful voice. Addy slumped into a chair. β€œWas that today?”, she said in a muffled voice. β€œC,mon Addy. I know you are scared but-”, Gemma said, but was interrupted. β€œNo, I'm not scared. I’m just... not a people person, ya know?”. β€œNot a people person, huh? What happened to the Addy that used to run around with other kids at the playground pretending to cast spells?”, Gemma said in a smug voice. β€œOh, she’s still there. Just deep, deep, deep, deep, DEEEEPPP down.”, Addy replied. β€œJust- promise me you’ll at least TRY to have a good day”, Gemma said. β€œOk, fine. I'll try.”, Addy said. β€œThank you.”, Gemma said, as she kissed Addison on the head. Addison smoothed her hair out and walked towards the door. She slumped her bag onto her shoulder and unlocked the door. β€œBye Aunt Gemma”. Gemma blew a kiss as Addy walked out the door.

Addison took a deep breath and headed towards the bus stop. She sat on the bench and looked down both ways of the cobblestone road. She pulled out her magic scroll. She started swiping through old pictures of her as a kid. One picture caught her attention. It was a picture of her holding her first wand. It was a basic starter wand, with a safety strap. β€œWas I really that danger-prone?”, she thought. The next photo was one of her dangling in the air, hanging from her wand. β€œNevermind”, she thought.
