A NEW SCHOOL
Ever since I was five years old I knew I had special powers like I could turn on a light with a snap of my fingers . Well not exactly it takes a few tries but with some practice I could do it simple.
A couple months ago I found an ad for a ' Magic ' school I figured perfect what better way to train my powers . It turns out it is just a school for people who are into card tricks and illusions . Thats not gonna help me is it ?
Tommorow they are sending me off to the school . I 'll have to spend a whole year there, fun.
I walk into the doors of the school . The place I am going to have to call home . All around me I see people with cards . I knew I should have looked up some tricks , Oh well .
I see the school principal . I walk up to her . She looks at me and says " You must be Sarah-Lee Geroge. "
I hate it when people call me Sarah-Lee . " Sarah" After I spoke the one word I realized the tone I had used . " I'm sorry but I honestly prefere being called Sarah, Sarah Geroge. "
" Oh okay dear. " Then she continues her conversation with the man standing next to her.
I walk over to the sign in desk. The lady is asking for names and then telling people numbers. My guess is that they are the room numbers so I get in line. When I get to the front of the line I tell her my name before she has the chance to ask.
She smiles and says " Six fourteen. " I smile and she hands me a small silver key.
I walk down a hall of rooms. Six ten , Six eleven , Six twelve , six thirteen and then finally six fourteen. I turn the knob to find that it is already unlocked. I open the door to find two girls sitting on the floor playing cards.
The girl with brown hair turns around. She has beautiful green eyes. The color of emeralds. " Hi, I'm Melody and this is Sabrina. "
Sabrina has dark dark brown hair. Well actaully I think it's black. HEr eyes are also green.
Sabrina waves. " Now finish the trick Mel. "
Oh so they weren't playing cards they were doing tricks.
Melody sits back down. " Sarah , you can join us if you want. "
Sabrina nods " Ya come show us what you got. "
Crap busted. I was only here for like five minutes and I am already busted. I was hoping to go at least a day. So I think of a lame excuse. " I don't have any cards. "
" Yes you do there are three packs on your bed " Melody says well pointing to the bed on the far side of the room. " My mom works for a card company. " Melody flips the cards to show that they are all three of hearts.
" Wow that's amazing " I sit my stuff on my bed and pick up the three decks of cards. One is pink , one is green and the other one is blue. The blue deck looks slightly different.
" Not not really the blue pack in your hands does the same thing. But I think it's with the jack of diamonds " Melody starts to pick up the cards.
" I'll show you If you'd like. "
" Okay. Sure. " I sit down next to Melody and open the blue deck.
" First you show them that is iy a normal pack of cards then you hit them like this " Melody hits the cards. " now all of them are the same card."
" Okay now what ? "
" You get them to pick a card. After they pick the card tell them to put it back . Then random cut the cards in five places. Each time it will be their card.Then just flip them. " Melody flips the cards and they are all three of hearts again." Then just remember to hit them again. Now you try. "
" Okay." I do the trick following and the steps and to my surprise it works . When I flip them they are all jacks of diamonds. Then I change them back .
" Good I told you it wasn't hard. " Melody gets up and goes over to her bed and lays down.
There is a knock on the door . Sabrina gets up and opens the door. A grey haired women steps in.
"Good afternoon girls. I'm just here to see how things are going and to tell you that lunch is ready. "
Melody , Sabrina and I all answer at the same time " Thank you. "
As soon as the grey haired women leaves I turn to Melody and Sabrina. " Who ws that ? "
Melody gets up from the bed. " That was Mrs. Elliot. "
Sabrina nods in agreement. " Let's go to lunch. "
I quickly follow Melody and Sabrina . We go down half a dozen hallways before we get to the lunch room. When we get there we go to I table with food on it. Where I get an apple , a salad and a chocolate milk. We sit at the nearest free table.
A few minutes later a blond haired boy sits next to Melody. " Oh hi my name is Alex. "
" Hello I'm Sarah. "
He puts his hand out so I can shake it. " Nice to meet you. "
I shake his hand and smile " Same here."

- It could use some grammatical tweeking, plus a lot more detail and character and setting development, and the dialogue can use some sprucing up, but overall...3/5. ^ ^;
