My name is Amelia Longmire and I am gonna be a witch tonight at midnight.

"Amelia , honey , you need to wake up it is already 9 a.m."

My eyes slowly open and I roll over to face the door and see my mom standing there. "Ok, mom, I will be down in just a minute." She nods her head and closes my door. I throw my purple and blue blankets off and take a long, nice stretch. I decide I should get a quick shower so I get up and walk over to my bathroom and turn the water on. The water is really warm and it feels amazing to my sleepy muscles. The water begins to get cold, we have a sucky hot water heater, so I get out quickly. My towel is hanging on the hanger and I grab it and dry off quickly. I walk to my closet with the towel wrapped around me and look in to decide what I want to wear. I garb a light grey sweater and some black leggings and throw them on. I put on light makeup, mascara and lip gloss, and walk out my door. I get to the kitchen and see my mom and dad sitting at the table with biscuits and eggs in front of them. I guess Mark is still asleep. I walk over to my usual chair and my mom looks up and smiles.

" Hey Amelia, want some biscuit and eggs?"

" Sure thanks mom" I saw my mom looks over to the food on the stove and uses her magic to bring me a plate with food. My mom specializes in physical magic things like moving things and teleporting stuff like that.My dad on the other hand specializes in elemental magic and can control the elements like air, earth, water, and fire. I begin eating and check my phone its July 30, 2019. It is my birthday! How could I forget? I become a witch today! I jump up and start jumping in a circle from excitement. I get to attend the Academy! I am so excited.

" Amelia, Are you ok?"

" Yeah dad, I just now realized that it is my birthday and I become a witch tonight."

" I was wondering when you would say something," my mom says as she looks over at me with a grin. A letter comes floating in which is guess is because my mom controlled it to come in here. The letter floats straight to my hands. I flip the letter over to see it says To: Amelia Longmire From: The Academy of Sorcery I look to my parents with excited eyes and they are both smiling and telling me to open it. I rip the top open and unfold the letter.

I just died. I've been accepted. I look at my parents as I begin to cry and see my mom crying and my dad smiling at me with happy eyes. "Congratulations Amelia, You need to go pack your things because we have a party planned tonight with the neighbors to celebrate you coming of age," my dad said. I nod and run up the stairs and look for my suitcase.
A few hours later and I was all packed. I check my clock and it says it is 5 O'clock. I can't believe how much time has passed last I checked it was twelve. I guess I have more stuff than I thought. I head back down stairs and see my family sitting on the couch talking amongst themselves. When they see me at the bottom of the stairs they look up and smile. " Hey honey the party is outside are you ready?" I nod and we all walk out the back door. I was thinking it was gonna be the close neighbors and that was it but instead there stood all my friends from school and there parents back behind them. I stare in shock of how they all came to support me and I'm so glad that they did. There were only a few of these people attending the Academy with me this year since my birthday is early. Most of them have to wait till next year and they must continue regular school here. My best friend Martha was on of the people going to the Academy with me and I was so glad.
" Hey Amy, Are you excited?" Martha says as she walks up to me and everyone else puts their attention somewhere else. Martha was so pretty she had wavy red hair that was cut in a bob. She had a pale complexion but it worked perfectly for her. She never wore a lot of makeup which made her even more beautiful.
" I mean of course. How could I not be I'm gonna be a witch soon?"
" I remember my birthday. I can't really do anything yet but I can feel the power inside me. I guess that's good since it's only been a week." Martha grabs my hand before I can say anything and pulls me further into my backyard to the designated dance area and starts dancing. I'm not good at dancing so I kinda just jump and move my arms a little bit. After about an hour or so of dancing we head inside to get a drink. We get to the door and I bump into Charlie Mako. He's the cute and had a crush on me forever. It's not that I don't like him it's just that I don't really want a relationship right now since I'm gonna leave anyway.
"Hey Amelia," he was acting kinda of shy. Before I could say something his friend called him over and he walked away.
"He is such a jerk." Martha grabbed my hand and pulled me inside while rolling her eyes.
"Hey Martha you wanna stay over since it's my night. I want you to be here." Martha stops and turns around to me and looks like she is about to cry.
"Really?!"
"Of course!"
"Ok I'll go ask my mom." She runs out the door to her mom. I walk over to the refrigerator and grab a soda. A few minutes later Martha comes running back in screaming " I can stay!" We start jumping up and down super excited. I look over at the clock and it is already 11:30 p.m.
"Omg it is already almost midnight." We look outside and see that everybody has mostly left and went home. I see my family heading towards the back door. I open the door and look out " Hey family. It's almost time." They all looked happy as they walked in and then they sat on the couch. My dad then stood up and pulled out a few blankets and laid them on the hardwood in front of the couch.

 "Ok Amelia, Sit in the middle of the blanket and wait. When your magic is released you will most likely fall back," my dad says as he walks back over to the couch. I walk towards the carpet and sit right in the middle and look towards my parents. My dad checks his watch and say," It is 11:59 it will happen soon." I sit there waiting till I feel something small inside my chest and I can feel it growing. All the sudden it went from a slow stream to a fast moving waterfall. I fell back by the power and became almost paralyzed as I felt the power course through my body from the tips of my toes to the top of my head. The power was exhilarating. It made me want to get up and run circles around the house. Slowly I felt the power slowly return to my chest but it felt different now. I could still feel the power inside me, it is still accessible, but it wasn't everywhere. 

I slowly lean forward and look towards my family and Martha. They are all looking at me in amazement. "Is everything ok?"I say to everyone sitting on the couch.

"Oh my, Amelia, I can feel the power coming off you in waves. You will become an amazingly powerful witch once you learn to control that power." My dad said still looking amazed. My mom just nodded her head in agreement. Soon after Martha and I decided to head on to bed since we have orientation tomorrow. We got upstairs and I figured we were gonna stay up for a little while but as soon as my head hit my pillow. I was gone. I fell asleep with dreams that were beautiful. I dreamed of the school and finding my familiar. I dreamed of all the people I was going to meet. All in all I realized that this school is going to be the best thing that has ever happened to me.

Hey guys! So this is my first book ever and I hope that you enjoyed it. I am going to try and write the next chapter right now. I plan on writing as much as I can over this Christmas break because once school starts it is going to be harder to make time to write. Hope you enjoyed it! Don't forget to vote and comment! If you see any grammatical errors please point them out so I can fix them.
