I couldn't sleep so well I fell asleep at 3:00. I'm agitated because today is my first day at the magic school. I haven't felt this way in a long time! I hear the alarm, turn it off and after looking at it, I see that it is six in the morning. Oh hell... I couldn't hear the first alarm! I think and get out of bed right away. Even though I'm tired, I run to get my things. I'm so excited! I'll have new friends and teachers; finally, no one will ever put me in a bad position again.
"Yuma, I've prepared something for you!"
"No, thanks mom. I'll eat something there"
"You should eat" my mom scolds me.
"Dear, don't bother him so much! Can't you see how agitated he is?!" Dad answers.
I run back and head to the room however, because of the hurry, I slide down the stairs like a sack of potatoes.
"Yuma are you hurt?" my mother asks me worried, coming to help me.
"No, don't worry. I was in a hurry and slipped" I answer, giggling a little embarrassed. I get up and go to my room to dress.

I get off after about twenty minutes with my blue folder and head to the car where my father is waiting for me.
We arrive in front of a forest whose end is unknown. We walk through it without questions and after a while, we see a huge gate made of silver. We approach and it opens wide. I can no longer control my emotions, my heart beats fast and I would like to shout my happiness in the four winds.
"Frost Yuma" screams a voice in the distance.
"Here I am!" I reply in return.
After that answer, my body begins to dissolve. I greet my father and when I open my eyes I am finally inside. I see thousands of students talking to each other. I believe they are in their first year and I can't wait to meet them.
"Yumaaaa" someone yells, jumping on me and rubbing my hair. From the fright, we fall like baked pears to the ground.
"Nick! How many times have I told you not to do this?!" I fight back annoyingly, getting up off the ground and helping him do the same.
"Come on, be quiet. I'm just glad to see you again!" he says with a sneering grin.
"I'm glad to see you too, man" I reply with a cheerful smile.
"Students are expected in the lecture hall" a voice screams into the microphone.
We are heading to our destination but, as I am about to enter, I run into a boy who makes me fall to the ground. This is the third time I've been knocked down today! After that thought, I stand up again.
"Be careful next time" he says, despising and hard-faced, then leaves without apologizing. Who does he think this one is?!? I think, angry. But his image stuck with me. The blood-red eyes, the silver hair that fell on his face in rebellious little locks and that tough expression that hid his true character. Surely, this boy would not have been indifferent to me. I could not imagine this meeting would change my life forever and my destiny for good or evil. Many times I would have thought I would regret having known him but, other times, I would have wanted to know him much earlier.
(After this little interruption and a bit of spoiler we go onđđ)
We enter the auditorium, look for free seats and sit in the second row. Shortly after, the headmaster arrives and begins to give his speech at the beginning of the year.
"Good morning, boys! I am the principal of the Institute of Light and, for you, I will be Mr Fair. Today, we are gathered here to show Miss Selene your future. We begin the appeal immediately"
I look at Miss Selene and I'm charmed by her beauty. Her fine, wavy blonde hair falls behind her back. She has two big blue eyes that enchant when you look at them and a thin physique. I look around me and realize I am not the only one who admires her. She notices it, turns to us and smiles softly. There is nothing to say! She looks like an angel that comes down on the earth.
 "Aisha" she calls.
An apple-green girl stands up and approaches her. She points her eyes at those of Selene and the bluish colour, in which I have dipped before, disappears. In its place, many shades of grey emerge. I watch her movements, carefully: she takes a pen and writes something on a large book that she has placed on her knees. Her eyes are as if lost in the void. After a few moments, she puts down his pen and his eyes become normal.
"You can go back to your seat!" says the principal to the green-haired girl.
Selene keeps calling names: Alexa, Alex, Amber, Aria and after her, comes the turn of...
"Azel"
...I can't believe it! The guy I bumped into at the entrance. I could never have been wrong: indifferent look and cocky attitude. It was him. I see him approaching, but when he is in front of Selene, he surprises us all by staying at a distance and in silence.
"What does it take boy, she won't eat you. Come on, courage, come closer!" the principal jokingly intervenes.
"I'm not going to show my future to this bitch" he says with a hard face.
"What are you saying?! These are the school rules" says the principal with a stern and authoritarian air.
"I don't care! This life is mine and I do what I want. If I show you my future you will also know about my past and, thus my answer is NO!"Â he shouts undeterred, making the headmaster and all of us bewildered with a face full of wonder.
