If I Had a Wish

I fumbled with my lock as Jim walked passed us, stopping and shoving an unexpected Jake across the hall and then rounding on me; he shoved me hard against my unopened locker, the lock stabbing into my back leaving an instant bruise. I squeezed my eyes closed against the pain and anger that would show in them. They had to be burning red about now. Jim tightened his grip on my neck till I opened my eyes again, watching his face turned beat red as he spit at me. 'I told you, you're mine! Not this lowlife loser! I thought you'd figured that out in the year he was gone!' 'I never was yours, Jim! I'm not something you can claim!' I choked out around his fingers. I grabbed his arm, trying to loosen his grip. I could feel the heat running down my arm to my hand and out my fingertips. I could smell the start of burning skin. Alex is a young witch who can control fire.
