Snippet #938822

Elina's floor was charred and black from her failed spell and anything that happened to be on the floor was soaked from the water. However, the flood hadn't been as bad as Elina had originally thought, as there were only a few puddles. Thank God I don't have a roommate, she smirked to herself as she cleared a space, quickly glancing at the Hello Kitty clock on her nightstand and cursing silently when she realized she only had twenty minutes to cast a circle and get ready for class. Her hands shook as she made the circle and lit all the candles. She had ten minutes left as she tried to relax and say the simple search spell right. "Par les puissances de la lune, du Sun, de la terre, de l'air, du feu et de la mer, ce qui m'était par le passé retour perdu.," she whispered over and over, picturing Jiji running back from the hall and into her room.

"Merde!" she yelled when she finally looked at the clock again. Being five minutes late translated to ten in Elina's case, so she quickly blew out the candles and threw on her uniform, not realizing she was putting her polo on inside out and missing a button on her skirt as she scurried around her room looking for her homework. Elina barely had her shoes on before she stumbled into the classroom, ignoring the snickers as she slid into her seat and had her homework out and her attention elsewhere. All she had to do was get through her classes and ballet, and then she could finally see if the finding spell had really worked.
