"Wha? Huh?" says Heath as he comes out of his trance. "Oh, uh, ya, um
nothing. I just can't believe this is happening. One day I'm a not so
ordinary human the next day I'm learning I'm getting ready for a
school in magic." Heath trades the letter for the cake. As he hands
over his letter to his mother he says, "Here Mom, I think you better
look at this. I have no idea what any of this stuff is and I know dad
wouldn't be much help, no offense dad. Some of them look like books,
but the others... gloves, goggles, and how am I going to carry around
a cauldron?" Heath knew he was getting over his head, but this school
almost sounded dangerous. Cool.
