All night I thought about a solution but
to no avail, I finally decided to quit and get some sleep. When I woke up in
the morning, I was all set with a plan and all. After getting ready, I went
back to my room and took out my notepad. There I scribbled in a bunch of numbers
and symbols and then copied the numbers and symbols onto five identical sheets.
I was all set.
I directly went to school; Thankfully
Aisha was the first at the gate. I gave her the piece of paper, I observed her
carefully looking for any signs of recognition and thankfully she remembered.
The piece of paper actually held a friendship code one which Ania, Aruni, Shreedha,
Aisha and me had made long back in 4th grade. I had written the
following message: Send a telepathic message to Shreedha, Aruni and Ania to
meet me tonight at my house. You come too, tell Rolf and Luna too. Do not tell
Daphne.
she nodded her head. Just then Daphne
came. Thankfully she came after our conversation and was clueless. Our first
lesson was arms and ammunitions. We learnt about the different types of weapons. Lessons here were like no other lessons I had
ever attended. Though I hated to admit it I actually enjoyed them. But telling
you about it will only waste time so let’s skip them. So fast forward to….
after school got out. So, after school got out, we went for our customary visit
to Rolf’s. It seemed that they already knew about our plans. This was confirmed
when Shreedha winked at me.
That night I impatiently waited for them,
eager to move on. Finally, after what seemed like an hour, I heard our doorbell
ring. My mom went out to answer it. I heard a few moments of discussion and
then finally she let them in. When they came to my room, I asked them “What did
you say to my mom?” Aruni answered “We
told her that we were your classmates and Rolf here was one of your professors
who wanted to give us group tuitions. Now hurry we’ve got to head back to Rolf’s.”
“okay, just wait one moment.” I said and took my pink shiny backpack which contained
my magic diary, water bottle and adventure treats. “Let’s go.” I rushed
downstairs and said “Bye mom.” “Okay sweetie you take care now.” I shot a
thumbs up at her in answer. After that Aruni, Ania, Aisha, I and Rolf got into Rolf’s
car.
It was a five-minute ride to Rolf’s,
once there we immediately settled into a couch each and I told them “Lets go.” “Where?”
asked Aisha “over to my aunts of course.” I said “How will your aunt protect us?”
asked Shreedha “Just trust me okay.” I said and launched into the spell that
would transport me there. After a few minutes I felt that familiar sensation
and knew that I had succeeded.
Hey readers,
Hope you enjoyed this chapter;
the next chapter will be from Aisha’s point of view.
