Ana decides to call her parents into the office to talk alone. She tells them what happened, but prefers not to say that it was at Scoot's house, only that it was a party for a schoolmate, and someone offered her a juice and she took it, but as soon as she felt the effects she ended up vomiting, but the effect of the substances had already entered her bloodstream, causing hallucinations and all the discomfort, she was careless, but she didn't imagine that this could happen, and out of fear, she asked the Beckers not to tell her about what had happened, so she asked them not to blame them, and emphasized as a last request:
"I want to change schools, I can't adapt, I'm afraid this could happen again, I want to go to a normal school, it doesn't have to be paid, maybe I can feel better."
Her parents, sighing, know that all this change of country, of school, has been very complex for Ana, and especially with the pressure of magical training, for the Awakening Test, they know that she is suffering in some way, but her parents for the first time decide to listen to her, and accept her request, her father then replies:
"All right, Ana, I'll look for another school tomorrow, but we just can't do anything about your training, you'll need to continue it until the Test, we can't change that at the moment, and rest assured we'll investigate what happened to you at the party, I won't let this person get away with it."
She tells her parents for the first time what she would like to do, even if it's just a way for her to get away with something, but she thinks it might be better for the moment, she starts sobbing, her mother is always colder, but at the moment it's not coldness that her daughter needs, but care, as much as they have taken the utmost care, She pats Ana on the back so that she calms down, it's not enough, but it helps. Her father accompanies her to her room and sits next to her on the bed, caressing her head until she falls asleep, he looks very thoughtful and asks himself:
(Where are we going wrong? If it were up to me I'd take you as far away from this town as possible, but I've been forced to, there's still the Becker's thing, I know he's my main client and friend, but that Luke kid could be a big problem, I don't hate him, but I don't feel confident leaving you in his hands, Ana, am I being selfish, thinking it's good that he "forgot about you", and then there's the Test, there's nothing I can do about it, if I'd known before, would the Howard's have been a better option?)
As promised to Ana, her parents went to check out another school, apparently this new one seems normal, no elitism, no rich people, but not to see if Ana will adapt to the new school, her first day at the new school will be next Monday, today is Thursday, she still doesn't feel so good, but she has to go to the training, there's no way the Becker's won't know that she's asked to transfer schools, it's their school after all, she'll just pretend everything's fine, even though she's hurt by Luke, it's fine if he's forgotten about her, but she didn't have to be so rude, she won't let herself be bullied by him anymore, she enters the Becker's house with her chest high, feeling confident, it's only a few hours away, what else could go wrong, the weather doesn't look good, it's very cloudy, it's been raining a lot these days, she waits while the boys come back from school, she goes about her magic training, she sees a lot of wet plants because of the rain, she decides to test her ability with the new element of water, that day wasn't perfect, but it was a lot for someone who couldn't control the element of water, she's really early, she manages to control a few drops of water, but only one by one, that doesn't seem right, maybe she's not concentrating properly, she decides to turn on the hose that is coiled near the plants, maybe she needs a larger volume of water, that must be it, she then lifts the hose with her left hand, and tries to control the water element with her right hand, but it's still not right, maybe he should try with both, she leaves the hose on the ground, She tries to water the plants, even though they're already wet, she shouldn't waste water, especially in other people's homes, but without realizing it, she's stepping on the water hose, She's really distracted, because she doesn't even feel the presence of someone approaching her, she finally notices that she's stepping on the water hose, but the pressure builds up so much that the hose starts releasing water everywhere, she ends up getting wet and wetting mainly those behind her, But she finally manages to get hold of the hose and runs to turn it off. As soon as she turns around, she notices that there's someone else there, and they're all wet, she covers her mouth with her hand, she's so scared, she's just rinsed Luke off, she looks surprised, her confidence has just gone down the drain along with the water, but she holds in her laughter as she thinks:
(Shit, I didn't realize he was here, it had to be him, I want to laugh but I have to hold it in, ok well just pretend).
Luke looks annoyed, and he's all wet, his hairstyle is gone, he looks like a puppy when he has a bath, but not just any puppy, he sighs deeply as he stares at Ana.
