On Monday he went back to school. It was confusing at first. He accidentally went to his sophomore classes a few times during that first week, but was directed to Kat’s classes soon after. None of the teachers seemed upset about it. Like their parents, they knew that he had been sixteen only days earlier. But things were different now; they accepted his new age and grade level without hesitation. Dan truly was a senior. To his surprise, working at that level came easily. In no time at all, he was acing every subject.
In the following weeks, he became more accustomed to his new classes and even made a few friends. Visiting Grandma had also become routine. She always had something new to share. Kat didn’t go at first, but began to tag along when she saw how proficient he was becoming with his spell casting. He embraced his new powers, but followed his mom’s example; never harming people with it. His sister seemed different since the incident. More kind, though she would still occasionally curse someone who made her angry. Dan often undid the curses after he heard about them. In a funny sort of way, they would balance each other.
That gradually lead to a close friendship, something neither of them had ever imagined...
