 Open! That's Rough Buddy | Be the Flower | Moon & Stars
Cold, clammy hands gripped the strap of her crossbody bag as she slipped into an empty compartment. Yulietta was inclined to shut the door and hope no one would join her, but in reality she did want some company. Specifically, her cousin's company. She felt safe around Violeta–despite the older girl being a loud extrovert–and less lonely. But her cousin had gone off with her boyfriend (again) and so she was left to her own devices. There was that boy Xavier and Perseus, but they were from Violeta's dad's side of the family Yuli was a complete stranger to. Sure they spoke Spanish too, but the former boy looked scary enough not to wish him in her compartment.
Taking a seat beside the window, she rubbed her clammy hands on her jeans and sighed. Here she was...on a train...a magical train that would take her to a magical school for magical kids. The thought was still so odd. Just weeks ago she was an unnatural girl from Mexico, whose mother told her to keep her weird skills hidden from her new husband and kids.
Now...she was considered normal amongst her kind. Or at least, she hoped she turned out to be a normal witch. She would appreciate some normal in her life.
