A few hours had passed since Silvio left Julia in her room, which she had moved into five days ago. It was about 9:45 p.m. Her new room was almost the same as her previous one, except she had a good view from her window. Julia looked through the curtain and saw the full moon. She couldn’t help but think that maybe it was just a random girl that he was afraid. He didn’t even take a good look at that person. She remembered his words.

“Be careful, Abigail can and will do anything to track you down.”

Julia thought she must do something. It was dark outside and the moon wasn’t bright enough to illumine the whole campus.

Just then, some particles collected in her hands. They kept floating downwards into her hands. After careful observation, Julia saw they were seeds with delicate wings. She placed them on the window sill, and opened the windows. This unexplained phenomenon could hold the solution to this problem. She took the pile of seeds, and blew on them so that they were dispersed and carried by the wind. She shut the window and went to sleep.

Julia woke up after hearing loads of beeps from her phone.

Sunny: Come take a look! Something happened, and the campus has changed overnight.

Julia got ready and went downstairs. She was wearing a shirt with pants. There was bright sunshine, and the campus looked the same, except there were wildflowers all across. She saw her friends were standing in the middle of the field. In the center, there was an arch decorated with green leaves and primroses.

The air carried the scent of fresh and fragrant jasmine.

“I wonder who did this,” said Cole

“It must be those pesky fairies,” said Silvio

“No. It wasn’t them,” said Julia

“Good morning!” said Sunny, giving Julia a hug

Cole took a step forward.

“How can you be so sure?”

Julia let go of Sunny.

“Well you see, last night I think I scattered some magic seeds,” said Julia

“Oh,” said Cole, cracking his knuckles

Silvio sneezed. He blew his nose using a tissue. Julia figured it was the pollen.

“Don’t tell anyone, lest this takes a bad turn,” said Cole

There were loads of people taking photos with and of the flowers. They rushed to class. Everyone was asking the professors, and they replied that the Fairy department denied that it was their doing. People couldn’t stop talking about it.

In the afternoon, Julia was having a sandwich at the cafeteria. There was a sound of trickling water, which turned to a downpour. Silvio who was across the table widened his eyes as he stared through the door.

“We only have rain twice a year here at Plume, and this isn’t the time when. Julia, are you sure this won’t cause trouble?” said Silvio

“Of course I’m not sure.”

Silvio blinked and looked at Julia, then crossed his arms and looked away.

“It’s just a bit of rain,” said Julia

The rain stopped as soon as she said that. There were the sound of splashes as Cole walked into the cafeteria and wiped his shoes on the welcome mat. He sat down beside Silvio.

“There has been a bit of a conspiracy theory that the DTCA did this,” said Cole

Silvio closed and scrunched his eyelids, like a tired cat. After they were done eating, Julia walked across the muddy field and observed the flowers. She was ahead of those two, as she overheard their conversation.

“I’m worried,” said Silvio

“Why?” said Cole

“She was able to change the campus overnight according to her liking,” said Silvio

“Maybe others are involved too.”

Julia walked under the arch, and her outfit changed into her Strawberry Witch outfit. Birds flew and sat down on the arch.

“I see what you mean. I have to do research on this,” said Cole

The two guys sat on the grass while Julia picked a flower and put it in her hot pink hair. She sat under a tree and was half asleep under the shade.

“Extreme use of her powers must have exhausted her,” said Silvio

She felt the presence of others nearby.

She opened her eyes and found herself sleeping on her satchel while Silvio, Sunny and Cole were sitting next to her.

Julia woke up and found that they were still there.

“How long have I been sleeping for?” said Julia

“About thirty minutes,” said Cole, looking at his watch

“Ugh, why didn’t anyone wake me up?”

Julia got up and brushed her clothes with her hands. Sunny got up.

“I almost forgot, we’ve got a quiz tomorrow on Basic Transformation Science,” said Sunny

Silvio and Julia’s eyes met. Silvio face palmed.

“How could I forget?” he said

Julia yawned. She had a pain near her forehead as she felt that the world was blurred, since she felt dizzy.

“Don’t worry about it Silvio, we have time,” said Julia

“That is true…”

Cole chimed in and said, “The quiz for Witchcraft 101 is the day after tomorrow.”

Julia got up, wore the satchel and said, “I will worry about that tomorrow.”

The others got up.

“How about a group study tomorrow? What do you think?” said Cole

“Sure, will Lindsey be coming?” said Julia

“Oh goodness, no,” said Cole

They all left to study.

Julia did her last few minutes of revision at midnight. She texted Cole, not being able to hold back on her questions.

Julia: How do you know Lindsey?

Cole: Oh, we were from the same dream. Did I say dream? I mean nightmare. I was drowning in the sea, and Lindsey tried to rescue me, but the tidal force made her drown and die before I did.

Julia: I see.

Cole: Yeah.

Julia then wondered for a split second how he looks without his glasses. So she sent him a text.

Julia: I’ve always wondered what you look without your glasses.

Cole: Really?

Julia sent a nervous sweat emoji.

Julia was expecting a picture where he looked drained, with dark circles. But instead, he looked different from usual, but she could still tell it was him. Julia couldn’t help but think his sea green eyes were so beautiful. Along with his messy blonde hair, he looked good.

Julia sent a heart reaction, texted good night, brushed her teeth and went to sleep.
