A few friends Closed

A girl walked up to them and Mia squinted, annoyed. This was the girl that had hid from them, and caused a commotion. Great.

Kathleen was there, and now this..this preppy girl that had to be their age was eavesdropping on their conversation? That was certainly a bother. Too much of one that Mia decided to be casual..brief even. Brush her off and continue walking with (Redacted) and maybe Kathleen, if she decided to keep walking. She was done with people coming up to her.

Simple, Mia. Effective.

"No problem! Usually, though, if someone overhears another's conversation, especially if it is personal, they keep walking and try to tune the other person out. The apology was great though."

Mia smiled at the girl. They, (Redacted) and Mia, weren't talking about magic, so it all would be okay. Especially since these girls screamed inquisitive.

It wasn't that Mia didn't like them, it was that she was finally talking to someone that she at least partially liked. (Redacted) was honest, and kind of funny in an adorably awkward way. She was the kind of girl Mia either defended or persecuted, and she had decided not to do the latter. That was something revolutionary.

Mia almost laughed at (Redacted)'s flustered appearance, but bit her lip just in time. The girl was too nice, and awkward, for her own good. She was going to get beat up one day. Probably by someone like Mia, but stronger.

Mia turned to (Redacted) and decided at that moment that she was going to make the girl's life just a bit easier. She didn't want the girl to get redder than she already was. Plus, torturing her was not what she was here to do.

"(Redacted), calm down. It's fine."

Mia smiled, hopefully reassuringly and her blue gray eyes danced. Turning to the new girl, she slowly gestured towards the path in front of them.

"I'm sure you knew this, you know, from your recent activities, but (Redacted) is going to drop me off at my grandmother's house. You're welcome to join us, as (Redacted) stated, but if you don't live that way, it might just be a waste of your time. We'll be walking deep into Kensington."

Mia smiled at the brown haired girl. She knew she came across mad, or rude, but she was just exasperated. And a bit hungry.

"Please make the decision soon. I have to get to my grandmum's house in a short period of time, due to our stop here."

"Oh, um, um, sure I could tag along for a bit, if you both don't mind. I'm Verla, nice to meet you both, again, s-sorry for being a stalker, I just saw you two based on your robes, I can't wait to begin school, and I can't wait to get pets, though I hope they have something rare I can purchase, it'd be fun to adopt a pet that was rarely seen, having a magical pet would be amazing! Wouldn't you agree?" Great, now she was becoming a chatter box, just perfect. Now they'd ditch her because they thought she was too much of being annoying. Now she was getting nervous and began to shake a bit, she hoped they wouldn't notice. She thought joining them was a bad idea now that she was close to a panic attack.

But Verla smiled politely to them, trying to make it convincing to them that she was quite alright and that she'd survive as long as they didn't point her out, if they did, shed probably run and make up some lame excuse that she had to leave. Then she'd go to her home, curl up in a ball in bed, and probably cry.

Mia looked at the girl with renewed interest. How could she tell that the three of them were magical? Did she have some sort of special gift? And what did she mean by robes?

Mia was wearing a put together outfit, chosen by her at the crack of dawn. Despite the warm temperature, she was wearing a white turtle neck with thin black stripes as a top. For a bottom she was wearing a short light blue denim overall skirt. She had a white supple leather Rebecca Minkoff backpack and gray-ish adidas shoes. Her auburn hair was in a chic fishtail braid running down her left shoulder and a black pen was sticking out of her left pocket. So nothing robe-like.



Mia looked the girl up and down and gestured for the girls to start walking. Walking again at an inhuman pace, she looked back.

"School is going to be simply delightful. But a pet is too much work for me. I'd rather just focus on my studies and use a school owl."

Mia half smiled and drew herself up to her full height, which wasn't very impressive. Even with her shortness, Mia still was an impressive figure. She looked like she commanded something, with her ramrod straight back and her lightly tilted chin that conveyed a sense of power. Something that she got from her Grandmother, who, like her, was tiny.
