I was a rare case. The gene didn’t present itself until my Junior year. My mom thought it was hormones, I am a late bloomer in all things, but it turns out my powers were finally blossoming. We actually call it blossoming, but most witches blossom by the time they are three. If you haven’t demonstrated anything special by then, well you’re eventually sent to live with some distant ‘relative’. My mom had a soft spot for me.
Magic is not easy. Complex spells are challenging and I don’t teleport. It’s not that strange, it’s like people who don’t have a driver’s license. I didn’t cast a successful spell until graduation. Prom was hard. I forced the wrestling captain to be my date but I couldn’t pull off the Perfect Prom Date spell. I spent the whole night casting mini spells: The Compliment spell, The Ask for a Dance spell, the Lean in for a Kiss spell. I was hung over the next day for all the wrong reasons.
