Old Friends, Old Magik [open]

[LizzieTheRose]

Diary Entry #1:

This is the first time I've tried keeping a diary, so let's hope this works out!

Anyways, my name is Alexia Jayy Elizabeth Cipriano and I am sixteen years old and about to be a junior at Ben Davis High School. I'm just your average music lover who dreams to have her name in lights! The real interesting part of me is who my best friends were and what brought us together...

Since Kindergarten, I had four friends: two twins (one, an athlete and the other, a fashionista), a troublemaker, and a smarty pants. We were the best of friends and did almost everything together. We hung tight through every s**t storm life rained upon us whether it be bullies, family issues, or anything else. As we grew up, we found out we were very different from each other. Me with my music. The athletic twin with sports. The trendy twin's eye for fashion. Numerous pranks from our local delinquent. Nerding it up from the bookworm. Sure, we had a few common interests here and there, but we had one major common interest.

Magic.

Sure, it seems farfetched that a rocker, an athlete, a trendsetter, a delinquent, and a nerd would all like magic and be friend because of it, but "expect the unexpected," I say.

We never really got into the serious part of magic since we were just kids and didn't know what the ******** we were doing, but we thought maybe one day, we'd find someone to help us get into the real part of magic.

Sadly, I wasn't able to stay with my friends in freshmen and sophomore years of high school because of zoning. We tried keeping in touch, but they slowly drifted away from me. I haven't heard from them since freshmen year. I'm moving closer to the school they should all be at though, so maybe we could all be friends again! Oh, I so hope they're all still there and they're still all together! Reunions are so cool, ya know?

The Plot in Normal Format with Extra Information
Set in present day Indianapolis, Indiana, Alexia Jayy Elizabeth Cipriano is transferring schools for the start of her junior year. The young musician is excited to be attending Ben Davis High School because all her old friends will be there.
She expects that all of them are still together, but she's not thinking like one of her favorite quotes: "expect the unexpected". All of them are in different cliques at Ben Davis all because Alexia Jayy left them. They had fights constantly and had a fall out.
The jock of the group is playing all the sports the school would allow the sports-addict to play. The fashionista is now completely opposite of their old self and hanging with the populars. The delinquent has been outcasted and made only one friend in the Outcast group, some weird guy. The nerd is nerding it up with the others of their kind, of course.
Once Alexia Jayy gets there, she'll have a real surprise to find her four friends separated. Not only that, but her best friend/crush, the Delinquent pulls a prank on her as soon as she enters the school, but in his defense, he didn't know it was her.
Now, she has to get her friends back together and survive her last two years of high school.
But wait, there's more.
The five friends had always be interested in the world of Magik and they said they'd find someone to help them learn about it when they were older. The Delinquent's friend is just the person they're looking for.
Little do they know, that...
Magik is more dangerous than they thought...

Characters

“Life is no fun with a little sound.”

Alexia Jayy Elizabeth Cipriano the Rocker
Lexayy//February 8th, 1996//Sixteen//Eleventh//Bisexual//Aaron
It’s just been me, my little sister, and my mother even since Maria Ann, my sister, was born. My father went off to war soon after her birth and was killed in combat. After that, I kept having nightmares of my father dying in the field and developed a Panic Disorder; it didn’t help I have Narcolepsy, so I’d pass out and sleep randomly. I would also be bullied frequently and my therapist has told me I’m starting to develop a mild form of Depression because of it. My sister had also been diagnosed with Schizophrenia and so my mother had to keep close watch on me and my sister while still maintaining our home and taking the role of the breadwinner. It’s been hard on my family, but we’ve managed thankfully. Though we’ve had to downgrade in our home this summer, so I also had to transfer schools, but I’m quite excited about it.
You see, I use to have four best friends in elementary and middle school, but in high school, I had to go to a different school because of zoning. It sucked at first because I had no one to turn, too, but I slowly got use to it and even got a couple new friends. Now that I’m reuniting with my old friend hopefully, maybe we can find someone to teach us magic since we said one day we would! Nyan, I just can’t wait for junior year!
My love of music was always there because of my parents. They’d always have music going whenever they could have it on. My father taught me how to play the guitar and my mother taught me the piano and how to sing. After Dad died, I swore I’d get famous and write a hit song in honor of him and I’m working towards that every chance I get.
Oh, I also have a love for anime and cosplay and go to conventions! My family finds it weird, but love me anyways! Mother even helps me make my coplays! Such a cool family!

“It must be lovely to be in your world...so stay there and leave me alone.”

Like my brother said, it's always been me and X. We were usually inseparable, but once we grew up, we barely spoke to one another anymore. Our Father is a strict business man and our mother is an artist. Once we hit high school, everyone else found their niche, X got super involved in sports and I soon was left all alone. I was crying in the cafeteria one day when a group of popular girls walked up to me. They told me liked my clothes and asked me what was wrong. I told them how my friends all split up and even my twin grew distant from me, and they said if they were stupid enough to leave me, they didn't deserve me. So I started running with the popular crowd, taking my hurt feelings out on everyone else now, even my old friends. Especially my old friends. Though there's still times I wish everything was like it used to be. Sometimes I'll skip going to parties and just stay home and listen to my brother play his bass guitar from my room, of course he doesn't know that.

Where do I start? I've always been a single child and my parents never really got along too well. Dad was always working long hours and mom stayed home to take care of me, pick me up from school and all the jazz. And almost as if it were family tradition they'd always get into an argument once or twice a week. It either seemed to be about how little dad was home or how I did poorly in school. That was probably because I never felt motivated to do well, since an A on a fourth grade math test wasn't going to get them to kiss and make up. The actual classwork seemed boring and pointless to me, so I turned to jokes and pranks and the like.
I think the only reason I didn't turn into a world-hating emo was because of my friends back in elementary school. In retrospect, we were so wildly different that it's a wonder we got along at all, if you ask me. Well, except for our innocent love of magic. Things fell apart after middle school when one of them had to move to a different school. After that, mom and dad's relationship got worse and they decided to get a divorce. I think it was the stress that made me just throw up a wall and drift away from my now ex-friends. Mom's working all the time now, and I'm not sure she's even paying attention to what I do in school. If I've changed at all since then, then I've only gotten worse and most of the school tends to avoid me. But to be honest, that suits me just fine.

Twenty-one years ago, my father immigrated from France to the good old U.S.A., where he met my mother. It was 'love at first sight.' (They think that, but my brothers and I say that is hogwash.) They got married six months after that, and had my brother three months after their marriage. Then they had my other brother a year later, and my other brother a year after that. Then they had me, four years after their marriage and two years after the brother before me. I wasn't their last child (I have two younger brothers) but I am their only girl. You'd think that because of that they'd treat me like a princess. Wrong. I work just as hard as my brothers do. With school work, house work, and the family businesses: mom owns a bookstore and is an author (not a big time one but close enough), while my father is a college professor (French lit. professor). So I'm treated like anything but a princess by them. Still, my family is close-knit, and we all talk to each other about any problems we may have. Well, almost all the problems we have...
During elementary and middle school, I had four best friends, who were completely different from mind you, but they were still my best friends. And we had this major thing in common: magic. It was what kept us together. But the friendship didn't last long, with one of them leaving us in high school cause of zoning. After she left, the friendship sort of just....broke. I don't mind at all, cause it showed me that they weren't truly good friends to keep! Well, Lexayy was, but obviously not the others. Since, you know, they are complete JERKS to me now. I don't miss them, but I sure do miss the moments I used to have with all four of them.
Family and books are all I need really. The two things I can trust completely that will not betray me.

Maverick Megami the Magik "Master"
Mav//June 29th, 1995//17//Eleventh//Hetero//No one
What's there to know about me? I tend to keep to myself, I try to stay under the radar. I've studied magik under some of the greatest magikal minds out there. Also my parents helped me learn magik. Once I learned the foundations I had to go off and practice and study on my own. I also have to keep an eye out for anyone who accidentally stumbles onto magik, for the dangers that could arise are insurmountable. Luckily in this hell-hole of public school, I have at least one friend. Pulling pranks with him is quite fun.
