After the dream...
915 Words
"I woke up to the dream...yet again," Rikka muttered when she fell off her bed.
She got up and walked to her wardrobe. She grabbed her school uniform and put it on. Rikka looked at herself in the mirror, A girl with purple hair that's slightly wavy and caramel skin, who is only 5’5 in height. A red school uniform top with a black bow on the front, and a black and red pleated skirt with some black stockings to top it off. She brushed her hair and pinned a golden Bret in her hair to keep it neat. She grabbed her black bookbag and ran out of the door.
"Nikko already left for school, without me!" Rikka muttered angrily.
She turned down Main street and ran to Rosen High School. She arrived just in time for the doors to open, She paused out of breath from running.
Ren came up to her and said cheerfully, "I missed you~!" Rikka just smiled. "Let's go, everyone's waiting for you~!" Ren says in her usual cheerful tone, grabbing Rikka's arm Ren dashes off.
Ren ran straight into a glass door and giggled. This made Rikka smile and then Rikka said while giggling,
"Ren slow down! You're such a Baka!" Ren just smiled and continued to drag Rikka to the school Roof. They burst through the doors and Ren said, "I found her!" as she held up Rikka's hand.
There stood Nikko, Rikka's brother. He stood at 5'11 with shaggy black hair, Black Glasses, and the same Carmel tone as Rikka. He had such a shocking eye color... A yellow, almost like a wolf's eyes. He looked so intimidating at times. But he was just a happy soul.
"There you are, Rikka" Nikko muttered.
Rikka then frowned before saying, "You left without me!"
Nikko just nodded.
Ren looked over at Rikka and patted her hair saying, "Well, he's just a meanie~!" That made Rikka smile.
"Alright, Where's Greg?" Rikka frowned while saying this.
"Oh, I think he was out partying again, he'll be late" Nikko mumbled scrolling through his phone.
The bell for class rang.
"Let's go Rikka~!" Ren chirped while dragging Rikka along.
They barely made it to class on time.
The teacher said, "Just in time Ladies, Go take your seats"
Rikka and Ren giggled while heading to their seats. The teacher then started talking,
"Alright, so today we will learn about a strange event going on, "He paused for a moment before continuing, "Some people are developing… magic." The whole class erupted into confused whispers. "SILENCE!" Yelled the teacher, He then continued to say, " I can prove this to be true,"
The teacher then motioned at the door and then Nikko walked in.
"A senior?" the students started whispering again, but then stopped when they saw him. Nikko was popular with the ladies, Which made Rikka just roll her eyes.
"Hello..." Nikko said shyly. "I was told to prove something I found out recently.." he started to mumble. "I recently found out that Magic does exist. I found this out since I developed a magical ability..." Nikko then opened his palm and said "Observe."
Then a flame sparked to life in his palm and grew at Nikko's will. He then closed his hand extinguishing the flame. The class grew silent, all of them shocked that this was true.
"It seems to be more common in your age group, but, Some adults do have magic. This is still new to all of us so we don't know what causes it. It might be genetic or Evolution. We aren't sure." The teacher said.
The bell rang and everyone left the classroom.
Ren kept skipping happily, even when they got to the roof. She is 5’7, and her glossy black hair was beautiful. She dyed bright purple streaks in it when Rikka dyed hers purple. Her skin was the color of vanilla cream. She even smelled like vanilla, Rikka found that part about her confusing. Ren usually wears a pair of shorts that are black and purple, She also wears a black shirt trimmed with purple, she always matched this way. But the school uniform looked amazing on her as well. She just looked perfect in everything.
Ren chirped, "are you coming to the cafe later?"
Rikka smiled and nodded at her best friend. "I wouldn't go anywhere else!" Rikka replied cheerfully.
Ren tilted her head to the side a little, as to inspect something. She grabbed Rikka's hand and looked at a scratch Rikka had gotten that morning. Ren went through her bookbag and put a band-aid on Rikka's hand.
Ren smiled and said, "There, all better~!" Rikka nodded cheerfully.
They sat down and talked about the class they had earlier.
Rikka said "I never knew that Nikko had magic, The teacher said something about Genetics but-" Rikka had a flashback, She suddenly remembers something. She saw the ‘illusion’ the same one that happened all those years ago...It looked exactly like flames were swallowing up the house…."Wait...M-my father...He..had magic" Rikka mumbled.
"Really!?!" Ren exclaimed, Ren, lowered her voice, and said, "Look at what I can do!"
Ren then grabbed a sharp rock and went to cut her palm, but much to Rikka's surprise the stone couldn't pierce Ren's skin.
"How did you-" Rikka muttered.
"It's my ability, invincibility. I can feel the blade but it doesn't physically hurt me" Ren chirped.
Rikka's eyes widened, "That's so cool!"
