My suitcases sat at my feet as the elevator went down to the man cave, where I was supposed to meet Dad.
I haven't seen my dad in 6 years, since my mom took me to Australia, so I could harness my magic.
The elevator stopped and the doors opened, I picked up my suitcases, stepping out.
"She's going to be here any minute!" Dad said in a worry.
I smiled and waved at Schwoz, from where he stood with 3 teens around my age.
"Why are you four just standing there for?! Help me!" I put my suitcases down.
"Dad?" I asked.
"Not now, Ivy!" Dad waved me off.
"Dad!"
"Ivy, I said not... Princess!" Dad yelled when he realized it was me.
I giggled as he picked me up in a hug, twirling me around, causing my wand to fall to the floor.
Dad set me back down, as the girl picked my wand up for me.
"You dropped this." She said holding it out for me.
"Thank you, I'm Ivory but most people call me Ivy." I said taking my wand.
"I'm Charlotte, but most people call me Charlotte." She introduced herself causing us to laugh.
"Iory!" Schowz greeted me.
"Hi Schowz." I smiled before hugging the small man.
Once we pulled away, I then drew my attention to the two boys who were staring at me with their mouths opened.
"Hey." Dad snapped at them before going over to them.
"Eyes off my daughter!" He hit the back of their heads.
I chuckled.
"It's fine, Dad." I waved him off.
"Ivy. And you two are?"
"I'm Jasper Dunlop." The one with curly hair introduced.
"Nice to meet you Jasper." I smiled before drawing my attention to the last boy.
I finally got a good look at him, and I immediately felt butterflies in my tummy. He was handsome to say the least, with blonde hair and brown eyes, I melted.
"Ni-nice to meet you, Ivy. I'm Henry." He smiled.
"I figured as much, my dad doesn't shut up about you... he didn't mention that you were cute though." I said before widened my eyes.
"He didn't mention you were cute either." We both blushed.
"Charlotte, why don't you show Ivy her room." Dad glared at Henry.
"Sure. Come on." Charlotte picked up one suitcase as I grabbed the other, before running quickly out of the room.
(no windows)
Charlotte and I made our way out of Student Council, and were making our way to our lockers when we spotted Henry.
"Oh, hey, Hen." Charlotte smiled.
"Oh, hey, Char... Ivy." Charlotte smirked before bumping my shoulder.
"How was student council?" Henry asked us.
"Oh, it was really good. Next semester, we're planning a bake sale to raise money--"
"Wow, that sounds great." Henry cut her off as I gave him a death squint.
Charlotte rolled her eyes before taking out her phone, stepping away.
"All right, it's almost 4 o'clock. We better get to work." Charlotte put her phone away.
"Oh, no, we're good. Piper's gonna drive us." Henry said as Charlotte groaned.
"No!"
"What's wrong with that?" I asked.
"Piper is my 12 year old sister. And she has a driver's license." Henry told me.
"Only because the state gave her one, by mistake!" Charlotte said.
"Still valid." Henry shrugged as Charlotte and I rolled our eyes.
There than was honking, causing Henry to head to the doors.
"Is that Piper?" I asked as Henry nodded.
"Hey, Piper!" Henry yelled. "Quit honking the horn!"
Piper than pressed on the horn for 20 seconds before stopping.
"Love you, too!" Henry yelled before walking back over to us.
"All right, where's Jasper?" Charlotte asked.
"Uh, still in detention."
"Ugh."
"What's he in for, anyway?" I asked Henry.
"Dress code violation." I rose a brow.
"Oh, not a belly shirt?" Charlotte asked.
"Belly shirt." Henry said as I went over to him.
"Jasper can't wear a belly shirt. But you can show your chiselled chest?" I asked poking his chest.
Henry winked.
"Stop flirting with each other." Charlotte rolled her eyes as a classroom door opened.
"All right, the door's open. Now get out of here! That's right, you're all disappoints!"
"Hey, guys." Jasper said once he saw us.
"Why are you wearing a pink sweater?" Henry asked him.
"Oh, this is Ms. Shapen's. She made me up it on since my crop top shirt was a dress code violation." Jasper repiled.
"Well, why did you wear a crop top shirt when you know It's against the rules?" Charlotte asked.
"Cause I should have the right to let my belly button breathe and be free." I giggled at his choice of words.
"I don't think that's right." Charlotte told him.
"It might be a wrong." Henry agreed.
"And why do you have those?" I asked pointing to the built in boobs.
"Oh, I think these are built into the sweater." Jasper said.
"You think?" Jasper shrugged.
"Which reminds me, I gotta go bra shopping. Mine are getting small." I said looking down at my chest.
"Same!" Charlotte agreed.
"This weekend wanna go shopping?" I asked.
"Definitely."
That's when the doors opened and a younger girl, I'm guessing Piper came in.
"Hey! Will you guys hurry up?" She asked.
"I'm parked in a handicapped spot."
"You're not supposed to do that." Henry told her.
"I'm also not supposed to have a driver's license, but I do." I chuckled.
"I like her." I pointed.
"Thank you. Now, let's go!" Piper snapped.
"All right, give us a sec." Henry said.
Piper than looked taking back as she saw Jasper.
"Yeah, okay." She said before shutting the door behind her.
"Hey, hey, hey, hey. Guess who was in detention with me?" Jasper asked.
"We don't care." Charlotte and I said.
"I don't want to."
"Byshelle Bilsky." Jasper said.
"No way!" Henry said.
"Bysh?"
"I thought Bysh was in jail!" Charlotte said.
"They let her out." Jasper said as Charlotte and Henry looked shocked.
"Who's Bysh Bilsky?" Piper asked.
"A girl with a bad attitude." Henry said.
"And she's crazy, a lunatic!"
"Yeah, remember in fifth grade when Bysh put that scorpion in Ms. Shapen's purse?" Henry asked Jasper.
"And then Ms. Shapen reached inside, and the scorpion bit her, and then she yelled, "Ahh! Bysh, Bysh, what did you do?"." Charlotte mimicked as we all laughed.
"Oh, really?! Oh, really!" A bigger girl came over, angrily.
"You think I don't got ears?" She asked.
"Oh, uh..."
"Hey, Bysh." Henry said going over to her.
"You shut up!"
"All right." Henry made his way back over standing by me this time.
"I was talking to that!" Bysh yelled pointing to Charlotte.
"Huh?"
"I heard you say my name, and laugh it up!"
"Oh. Oh, see, I was just saying how it was funny when--"
"Oh, oh, I'm funny?" Bysh asked cutting off Charlotte.
"Is that it? Do you find me hilarious?"
"No, no, no, no, no." Charlotte said.
"Oh, what, you think I got no sense of humor?" Bysh asked her.
"Okay, ladies, listen. I think there's a little misunderstanding here, okay?" Henry was cut off as Bysh started blowing raspberry at him.
"Ahh!" Henry yelled falling to the floor.
"Okay, that's it!" Henry started making his way over to Bysh yelling, as Jasper went to stop him.
"No, no one--"
"Hey, it doesn't matter!" Jasper exclaimed.
"You know what, you just keep her here!" Henry told us.
He took a step closer before retracting back.
"Just keep her here!" Henry than went to the other hallway out of sight.
Jasper quickly followed.
Bysh cracked her knuckles, causing Charlotte to look terrified.
"Hey, Byshelle. I, uh, like your shirt holes." Charlotte told her.
Bysh looked down at her shirt, but once she looked back up, she had a wicked smile.
Bysh picked up Charlotte.
"Ah, Henry!" Charlotte yelled out as Bysh put her in the garage can.
I pulled Piper back as Bysh sat on the bench by the garbage.
"Henry!"
"Bysh, are you insane?" Henry asked.
"No, I'm bad!" Bysh replied as I slowly reached for my wand.
"Come on, let's help out Charlotte." Jasper said.
"Okay, help me tip it over." Henry said as I rolled my eyes.
"Wait, wait, wait. Why would you tip me over?"
The boys than pushed the garbage can over, causing Charlotte to groan.
They than pulled the lid off, and dragged her out.
Charlotte stood up, taking off all the garbage on her, before turning to Bysh.
"Okay, that's it, Byshelle. You just violated at least four school rules when you put me in that trash can!" She yelled at Bysh.
"Yeah, does she look recyclable?" Henry asked Bysh.
"Nah, she looks stupid." Bysh said.
"Hey, watch it." Henry said as she blew another raspberry.
Henry than gasped.
"I'm gonna do it, I'm gonna do it."
Henry took out his gumballs and was about to take on out but Jasper started fighting with him.
"Let go!"
"No!"
"Let go!"
"Give me my--" Jasper held the gumballs to his chest.
"All right, all right! What's going on in this school hallway?" Ms. Shapen asked us all.
"Nothing, we're--"
"I'll tell you what's going on." Piper cut me off.
"Yeah!"
"A fight between Charlotte and Bysh!" Piper said.
"No!" Charlotte yelled.
"I'm down for a fight." Bysh said.
"Hey!" Ms. Shapen pointed at her. "The rules say no fighting in this school during school hours."
"Oh, well, if that's a rule--"
"So, if you girls are gonna have a street fight in this school, you got to do it here before 8 a.m!" I huffed.
"Cool with me." Bysh said.
"Wait a second!" Charlotte said.
"Okay, Monday morning, 7:30. Charlotte's gonna take you down, Byshelle." Piper said.
Bysh made her way over to Charlotte.
"Looking forward to it." She than thumped Charlotte's forehead.
"Ow! She thumped my head so hard!"
"Hey, you saw that! Why didn't you do something?" I asked Ms. Shapen.
"It's after 4, I'm off the clock." She told me before looking at Jasper.
"Jasper, why are you still wearing my special sweater?" She asked.
"You made me put it on." He told her.
"Well, I have a date so give it!" She told him.
"Okay." Jasper started to unbutton the sweater as one of the boobs deflate.
"Oh, you popped my favourite one!" Ms. Shapen snapped.
Ms. Shapen walked out as Charlotte sighed.
"Well, that's it. Monday at 7:30 a.m., my life is over."
"No, it's not, okay? She's not so tough." Henry said.
"Yeah, besides strength isn't about the size of your muscles." Jasper patted his arms.
"It's about what's in here." He patted his chest as the other one popped.
"Come on. Let's get going." I sighed handing Charlotte her bag.
