Everybody associates witches with potions and spells and all that stuff... who would expect a witch who can build a table with their bare hands? But that’s what she wants to do and doggonit, no amount of weird looks or stereotypes are going to stop her! A young witch in high school is taking a wood shop type class despite nobody taking her seriously. After all who can take a twig of a girl hauling a wooden board twice her height seriously?! But she’s determined to show everyone that she can do it just as well as anybody else, maybe even better. Between playing with saws capable of cutting her arm off and the culture shock of the “basement students”*, what could go wrong?
But seriously, what could go really wrong because I can’t think of an actual real plot line and still have some kinks to work out. Biggest kink being: Should the whole school have witches and wizards in it openly or should she have to hide her magic powers? Of course I’m a sucker for romance so she’s gotta fall in love with someone.
Anyway, I’m kinda stumped and I’d love to hear what people think might be a good idea to include or what they would like to see or not see in something like this. If it helps any, I’m thinking she’s really attached to the wood shop teacher because her biological father was a terrible person and the teacher is a very caring older man who’s just like the father she’s always wished she had. Also, she may or may not have an older sister that was in the same class when she was in high school.
*basement students: In my school there are students who spend most of their time on the top floor where a lot of advanced classes are, so most of the more “intellectual” students are on that floor. But in the basement is where all the kids who aren’t very into school learn trade things that will help them get a job since they’re not planning on going to college.
