Amanda walked past a gate as she watched everyone ride brooms. Amanda sighed as she looked down. "I'm just a freak. I should just run away." Amanda said to herself before her enemy floated next to her giggling. "Yes, you should. I'll tell everyone you died." She said before Amanda grabbed her broom making her fall onto the pavement ground. "At least I'm not a uptight bitch. Like you, Kim." Amanda said as Kim stood up wiping dirt off.

"You are such a loser, Amanda. Stop wasting your tutors time and finish ur damn schooling and leave." Kim said before she flew away. Amanda looked down as her tutor looked at her as she tried not to cry. "Hey, Mandy-Pandy. You ok?" He said as Amanda walked to in. "I'm fine. Let's go." She said before her tutor had an idea. "No. For today, we will hang out and I will answer any questions you may have." He said as they walked to the living room. "Why am I a freak, Devon?" Amanda said as she sat on Devon's couch. "Your not a freak. You are special. Is Kim getting into your head again?" Devon said as Amanda rubbed her eyes. "You can cry if you need to." Devon said as he held Amanda close before Amanda started to sob. "I just want her to leave me alone." Amanda said as tears went down her face. "I know, Amanda." Devon said as he stood up and went to the kitchen. While Devon prepared food for lunch, Amanda got up and slowly walked home as she wiped her tears.

"I'm home." Amanda said before her dad walked to her smiling. "Hey, pumpkin. What happened? Where's your smile?" He said as Amanda walked to her room. "Kim called me a freak again. I can't take it anymore." She said as she walked into her room and then closed her door. "I know, sweetie but we need to be strong." Her father said before she layed on her bed. Amanda didn't feel like leaving her room though she needed to hang out with her father. "Want me to go out and get dinner?" He asked before Amanda sat up. "No you should go out to eat and have a great time." Amanda said before he shook his head. Her father left to get them both some food while Amanda took a nap.

Her father didn't like seeing her upset and wanted to do anything he could to make her happy. "I'm back, pumpkin." He said quietly as he looked into her room and then he sneaked in. He then put her dinner on her bedside table and then quietly left and went and ate. Amanda woke up a few minutes later and then looked at the bag and grabbed it. "Oh ok. So he is still my loving father. Good." Amanda said before she started to eat. Amanda stopped and got out and sat next to her father and started eating. "Hey bunny. You feeling better?" He asked before Amanda nodded as they both finished eating. He smiled and stood up and walked to the trash and threw his trash away.

 "Hey, dad. Do you think I'm a freak?" Amanda said before her father looked at her shocked. "Why no I dont. Why do you think that?" He said as he looked at some papers. "Because everyone else has magic powers and can ride brooms and the only special I can do is this." Amanda said as she snapped her fingers and made a mop appear. "Oh, pumpkin. Your just special." He said before Amanda looked up at him. "What are you doing, dad?" Amanda asked before she sat up.

"If I tell you, promise not to be mad?" He asked as he sat next to her. Amanda nodded as she looked at him. "I am signing you up for public school." He said excited before Amanda looked at him shocked. "Oh uh ok, dad. Won't you feel bored though?" Amanda asked as she looked at him. He shook his head as he showed her his phone and let her see his dating profile. "Your name is Jeffrey?" Amanda asked before Jeffrey looked at him shocked. "Out of all the stuff I have on here. You ask about the most obvious thing?!?!?" Jeffrey asked as Amanda chuckled smiling. "Anyway, while you are at school next week. I will try to find a new wife for you to get a new mommy." Jeffrey said before Amanda stood up and stretched. "Well, we better get ready to go to the school tomorrow. Do you want to take a bath today or tomorrow?" Jeffrey asked Amanda as she looked upstairs. "Well, do you want to take your shower?" Amanda asked before Jeffrey looked away and thought about it.

"I'll just take my shower in the morning." Jeffrey said before Amanda nodded and then went to get ready for a bath. "Regular or bubble?" Jeffrey asked as Amanda walked to the bathroom. "Ooh. I don't know. I didn't have a bubble bath in a while." Amanda said as she placed her clothes down. "Ok, bubble bath it is." Jeffrey said as he started a bubble bath for her. "Thanks, daddy." Amanda said as they watched the bubbles rise. Jeffrey turned around and left the bathroom as Amanda got naked and layed in the bath. Amanda sighed as she started to relax into her bath. Jeffery went and layed down in his bed as he looked up to the ceiling. "Time to go to bed." Amanda said as she got up and got out of her bath and got ready for bed. Amanda buttoned up her shirt and then walked to her room. "Good night, pumpkin." Jeffrey said as Amanda got on her phone to set up her bed time story. 

"Good night, daddy." Amanda said as she layed in bed and closed her eyes. Amanda enjoyed hearing the stories trying to recreate them as she slept. Though it didn't always happen, Amanda never felt scared from the stories she heard. "I don't know why she enjoys those. But I won't stop her from listening to them." Jeffrey said as he layed in bed. He sighed as they both went to sleep. The next morning, Jeffrey went to take a shower as Amanda slowly woke up. "Do you want me to make coffee?" Amanda asked as she stood by the bathroom door. "No sweetheart. Get ready for today and I'll make breakfast for us." Jeffrey said before Amanda turned and left.

She walked downstairs put her sneakers on, though she felt nervous. "You ready, pumpkin?" Jeffrey asked as he came out drying his hair. "I'll let you dry your hair." Amanda said as she walked to the car. Jeffrey chuckled as he went and grabbed his keys and went to the car. "Are you ready?" Jeffrey asked as he started the car. Amanda nodded before Jeffery started driving to the school.
