8th grade.....

Ezra was quietly sitting on the lunch table. He was in the middle of reading a book when Emilia suddenly slammed her hands in front of him.

He closed the book and looked at her with a questioning expression.

Emilia: Hiii bestie!!! Wanna practice magic together?

Ezra: Sure, let me just finish this chapter--

Emilia: You can do that later!

She grabbed his arm and dragged him out of the cafeteria. They reached an empty spot and she let go of his arm.

Ezra: Alright, what will we be doing today?

Emilia: How about that new trick we came up with last night?

Ezra: Last night?

Emilia: Yeah, on chat

Ezra: I was half awake while chatting with you, so I can't remember

Emilia: Check your messages

He took out his phone and read the texts from yesterday evening. No wonder he couldn't remember, it was sent on 12:54 am.

Ezra: We Shou really monitor the time

Emilia: You're right, but let's set that aside for now

Emilia: Let's focus on the trick

Ezra concentrated on trying to grow a flower straight from the soil. He managed to bloom a small flower within 20 seconds.

Emilia then used her finger to draw a circle above the plant with light.

The flower absorbed the light magic it was given. It grew into a 23 meter tall plant with gigantic petals.

The two's faces lit up seeing their experimental product. They were about to go back to the cafeteria when the plant started to act weird.

It started shivering. Then after a few seconds, it emitted enormous amounts of pollen.

The pollen scattered around the campus, making kids sneeze and cough.

Ezra and Emilia were about to escape the scene when a teacher stopped them.

Ezra: Uh....we can explain--

He was cut off when the teacher grabbed both their arms and yanked them to the principal's office.

After school hours....

Ezra: This is all your fault

Emilia: Well you're the one who picked a flower with lots of pollen in

Ezra: But you're the one who dragged me in this in the first place

They were sitting in the detention room. The principal made them stay there after school for 5 hours.

Emilia: Next time, let's go somewhere with no people around

Ezra: Sure. I don't want a repeat of detention, it's boring in here

Emilia: Say, you doing anything after this?

Ezra: Nope, we don't have any assignments today, so I'm free

Emilia: Want to pelt the neighboring school with pollen?

Ezra: That sounds like trouble

Ezra: I'm in

They gave each other a sinister smile. They looked back to the front before the teacher monitoring them could wake up and catch them.
