My eyes snap open "today's the day I meet my best friend for the first time in 7 years, wow that's a long time" I whisper out loud

"Okay bags packed, check, phone, check, wooo I'm ready" I smile punching the air, Shyla here I come slamming the door to my apartment.

 "London here I come" 

Shyla pov

The flame danced in my hand I was terrified in all honesty it was the first time had used fire magic since the incident but somehow it was calming maybe it was the thought that I could control it when I was calm I took a deep breath in as I aloud the flame to grow higher the  flame made my room a light green colour that was my colour green very which chooses a colour when they are young but I had grown to hate the colour that was stuck with me for the rest of my life

the flame started to shrink but then a knock sounded at the door the flame grew and grew until the paper sitting on my desk caught light "shit "I said in a hushed whisper grabbing the paper and chucking it in the sink the flame fizzled out as I slowly walked up to the door and peeked through the peephole I stumbled back "oh shit, oh shit, oh shit" I whispered as I looked around my apartment covered in glyphs and research books for witches I forgot the landlord was coming today "umm one second be right there" is said as I hurried a cleanup spell

"umm one second be right there " I heard from the other side of the door 

the door then slowly creaked open and the new apartment member poked her head out 

"Shyla is it," I said holding out my hand I grinned "yep that me she," said shaking my hand shyly I looked down at my hand and found it was covered in ash like she had burned something umm ok then I thought 

after I came out of my thoughts I noticed my eyes had drifted to Shyla and I notice a fuzzy feeling when I looked into her big ice-blue eyes piercing yet they felt warm, she then looked in my direction and I quickly whipped my attention away 

"soo um are you going to check the leak or" I heard Shyla ask with a worried look on her face 

"Oh yeah ill probably be 10-15 minutes. You can go back to what you were doing sorry " I smiled shyly luckily she nodded and walked into her bedroom closing the door 

Shyla pov 

I opened the door this was my first time meeting the landlord

"Shyla is it," he said with a grin holding out his hand "yep that's me" I replied, and sheepishly shaking his hand I moved to let him come in

 I then notice him glancing down at his hand shit I thought to myself my hands were covered in ash his hand was black as well but luckily he didn't seem to think anything of it

"so umm are you gonna check the leak or"I questioned "Oh yeah ill probably be 10-15 minutes. You can go back to what you were doing sorry "I sighed in relief and nodded closing the door to my room behind me.

I started to play with my fire again honestly I didn't care if drew walked in on me right now because he would probably kick me out sooner or later or I would just set the whole place ablaze anyway i scolded myself 

the flame continued to dance in my hand and then I remembered something I had told Daniella I would meet her today ugghhh I looked at the time and of course I'm late I rolled my eyes scrambling to pull on my coat

I watched from across the street as my friend rushed out of her apartment building seeming to be in a rush so I followed. 

She was walking really fast but I got to have a good look at her while she was walking.Her hair was long and darker than I remembered she had also gotten quite tall and then she flew around the corner and I called her name.

"Shyla?"...
