It was just a regular day, going to a regular school, with regular people. Camila Casanova woke up one morning thinking she was going to have another boring and regular day. Little did she know her whole life was about to change. Camila was a short girl, with medium straight hair, beautiful light hazel eyes. She was very attentive and skeptical. Camila's alarm ringed, she got up, changed, brushed her teeth, did her own thing. Besides having another boring day, it was also her eighteenth birthday. She wasn't that excited, so she treated it like it was a regular day.
Camila grabbed her ear buds and her bookbag, and walked downstairs. When she walked downstairs, she realized something was up, but didn't care so she kept walking. She was about to head out when her mom Elena who is a short red headed lady "Camila, come back we need to talk to you." Camila didn't hear her so she continued to walk, Elena walked at a fast paced, and took her ear bud out. "What? Is everything ok?" Elena replied rather excited "Your father and I have a surprise for you, can you come in? Camila came back inside and sat down.
Her parents seem so excited to tell her something but before that, they handed her a gift. Elena handed her the gift "Open it baby, we promise, you will like it." Camila opened it. It was an envelope full of papers. Camila confused asked "What is this?" Rodrigo her father who is very tall black haired skeptical lawyer replied "We have something to tell you, but you have to trust us and listen." Camila still confused "Dad? What is it?" "This might sound crazy but I promise you it isn't. Your mother and I registered you to attend a Magical Academy. You're eighteen now, you have to go." Camila laughs "Like to learn magic like the shows on tv?" Elena nervously laughs "No, Camila this is serious! Because you're a witch!" Camila laughs "Guys, why are you two pranking me like that. We all know it's not true." Rodrigo and Elena are in complete silence. Camila continues to laugh nervously and realized they were not pranking her and that they were telling her the truth.
Camila asked "How am I a witch? When did this happen? I need proof." Elena replied "Camila, open the envelope there's your proof." Camila opened the envelope and seen all these stuffs she just didn't understand. "Cami, baby, when I was pregnant with you, I was hiking, and my water broke. I was close to a little cabin so I decided to walk and my goal was to get to that cabin and ask for help. Well, I got to the cabin, I knocked and asked for help. Until, this old lady who fortunately was a housewife with grey hair opened the door and she brought me inside, she took me in this room and helped me give birth, I gave birth to you. When she got you out of me, she told me that you were going to do amazing things in life, that you were going to be the most powerful person in this world. I thought she was talking about you being a business woman or someone recognizable you understand. So, I asked her, she laughed and said "No, Elena, she's a witch. It will probably take her a while until she manifests her powers, but she will get there."
"I thought she was just lying, until she held my hand and I've seen all my past life before that moment, I was scared cause I went back to when I was in your grandmother's womb, that I could even taste her breastmilk after. So, she told me to send you to that Academy when you turned eighteen. Years passed, and slowly you started to reappear on different locations, you would hide our stuff, you would appear in the refrigerator, animals would appear in our house. But, for some reason after you turned seven years old it stopped, it was like you didn't remember any of that. So, maybe that Academy could be your new home for a while, at least until you manifest your powers." "Wow, mom why didn't you two ever tell me, why wait 'til now?" Elena "Because, we had too, baby."
"Well, do you know where this school is?" "No, only you can know" Camila " Rodrigo replied. "So, why did you register me?" "Because, it was meant to be, we didn't go to the school, someone was sent to us, and we had to approve here, fill out papers and stuff." Rodrigo firmly "I promise you Cami, you will be safe." "So, when do I need to leave?" Elena replied "Today. They will send you someone to come pick you up, so they can take you." "So, do I need to pack my stuff?" "Yes. Except your phone." her mother replied.
"Why?" "I don't know baby, just do what they say." Camila runs upstairs to her room, closes her door, sits on her bed, confused she tries to remember when she was little, but she couldn't. She had thoughts of not going, but when she had that thought, she got shocks to her brain. It was weird for her, to have that happening. She kept thinking and saying she isn't going to go, and she kept getting shocks. Mr. Smudge appeared in her room, scaring the life out of her. He was a tall skinny man with a very blank expression on his face, he looked rather unhappy to be there. It was all so confusing, she was about to scream, when Mr. Smudge, quickly covered her mouth and said in a rather bland voice "Camila Casanova, I will let you know who I am and what I'm doing here, but you must be quiet."
He let go and she tried to scream, until Mr. Smudge quickly ran and covered her mouth once again. "Now, for everybody's sake I am Mr. Alan Smudge, I was sent from The Magical Academy. So, you better go if not I will take your parents and you will never see them again." "Why do I need to go?" Mr. Smudge looked at her as if he himself didn't believe what he was saying "Because you are meant to go, the gods chose you to be one of us." "Well, I guess I have no choice, right?" "No you don't" Camila had no choice but to go to the Academy." Mr. Smudge said in a stern voice. Mr. Smudge let Camila go say bye to her parents for the last time, Camila was nervous but at the same time curious about what she will be seeing at the Academy. She finished packing her things and the two of them procced to walk down stairs and Camila said good bye to her parents and headed toward the door.
If they were to try to watch her leave or see Mr. Smudge, it was most likely they would go blind. As Camila and Mr. Smudge's left the house, she noticed his car. It was an old Black Chevy Bel Air with a white top. It started to levitate off the ground. Seeing this made her hair stand up all over her body. As she sat down in the car and took one last look towards home the car jolted forward. They were going so fast; all she could see was different types of colors flying by. She closed her eyes hoping for the best, she felt so scared, she thought she was dying. Out of nowhere, everything stopped, and when she opened her eyes, she seen that they were right outside the academy. Camila quickly opened the door, and vomited.
As Camila looked up, wiping her mouth, she was amazed when she seen a big castle above a hidden lake. Mr. Smudge quickly got her bags and told her to grab on to his arm, and they teleported to a room. Mr. Smudge dropped her bags and told her to wait there and left. She looked around and as she was walking, she seen dark red walls, tall shelves of containers full of liquids, some clocks, and some potions. Camila walked to the center of the room and a big crystal ball caught her attention, she was about to touch it when something else caught her attention, a glass box with a squared object inside, it was glowing, neon blue, similar to a Rubik's cube. Camila was reaching to try to open it when Mrs. Pips came out of nowhere and rather abruptly. "Hello, Ms. Casanova. Welcome to the Magical Academy! I am Christine Pips and I am the owner of this Academy. If you have any questions, please ask."
Camila had a lot of questions. "Yes. I have a lot of questions. I just don't understand why I'm here. Why Couldn't my parents see me leave? Why couldn't I choose to come? Why? How am I a witch? Why didn't I know about this when I was younger? Is there other people like me?" Mrs. Pips "Oh, dear you sure do have a lot of questions don't you. You're here because you are a witch. Because they could go blind. Because this Academy is your destination. The gods chose you and there's nothing we can do about it. Because it had to be until you were eighteen, since you couldn't manifest your powers after you turned seven years old. Now if you were still manifesting your powers right now, you could've chosen to come or not. Sweetheart, there is many of us like you. There's a lot of people with many, many powers and you will meet them soon."
"Wow, everything is just too much for me. Mr. Smudge lied about my parents? So, when am I going to start manifesting my powers again?" "I know it's to much but it's worth it, yes he lied to get you here but we will never hurt your parents." "I can't believe he brought me here with lies." "He did because he knew you wouldn't come if he didn't say that." "So, what now? I'm here." Camila said with curiosity. "Give me your hand Camila" Camila gives her, her hand and Camila starts seeing all her life to this point. Ever since she was in her mom's womb, just like her mother had told her, she seen the same thing as her mother.
Camila pushed back, looking confused she said "Why did they chose me?" "Again, because it was your destiny. Enough with the questions, I will take you to your dorm and this is a regular school but instead of normal classes you will take classes for spells, potions, charms and so forth. The students here are very different in many ways no one student alike." "Fine no more questions, take me to where I have to be." Camila huffed. "Alright, let's go then and you might want to start trusting and loving your new life, follow me." Mrs. Pips starts to walk, Camila follows her and just starts looking around her on how there's actually a lot of people like her, she felt alone but also knew this might could be the start of something new, the something new she always asked for. As, they were walking to Camila's dorm, down the hall with rocky grey walls, bright lights, she started seeing pictures of students, it was like they earned a big award. Wondering why there was student pictures down the halls, she didn't ask Mrs. Pipes. She then seen people turn into different animals, or students seeing her weird because she was a new student, she also seen students teleport from one place to another.
Once Camila got to her dorm which had rocky grey walls, a fireplace in a corner and two beds on each wall, she had to be introduced to her three roommates Veronica Martinez who was the prettiest of all three with black wavy hair, Jennifer Dodge who had short brown curly hair and big glasses, Audrey Carter who had the fieriest red long curly hair, she's ever seen before. Mrs. Pips looked at the girls, "Ms. Carter, Ms. Martinez, Ms. Dodge this your new roommate Ms. Casanova. She is new to the Magical Academy, ladies you all know the rules around here, if you all can show Ms. Casanova around the Academy. Help her find her classes, the lunch room, and the wash room." "Will do Mrs. Pips, she will be in good hands." Audrey replied.
