The Dark Witch and the Nerd Cont'd
Kathrina P.O.V

I sat in peaceful quietness, still in awe at today's events. A day that went from being migraine, head spinning stressful, to ending in bliss.

A date, my very first. I smiled. I hope I don't do anything horrific to soil the day or worse....hurt Ethan.

Maybe I should take with me a good luck amulet just for insurance, for my magic is too bipolar.

"So anything interesting happened at school today," My father asked eyeing me curiously as he scooped food into his mouth with his large silver spoon.

I broke out of my reverie quickly masking the smile that was plastered on my face. I forgot he was even in the room.

Damnit.

"My car died this morning on my way to work, just my bad luck arriving late to my usual ungrateful class of rotten air head children. With the same boring classes, my day was going nowhere...until," he paused, a finger pointed for indication.

"Look at me," He demanded.

My head shot up as I stared at him irritated grinding my teeth. Satisfied he continued,

"Until I was summoned to the principals office because of one of my students.... there, waiting, I overheard from one of the school's gossiper that one of the popular girl's entire hair fell off, clean from her head. Without reason. Curious I went to the nurse's office just in time...
