Lakewood Academy: Chapter One.

Interesting, not bad for a first try. It could use to be rewritten though as it seems to be a little sloppy in terms of grammar. That is to say, it seems to be rushed rather than clear. Also, I thinks it moves too fast; The plot material is a little underutilized. For one, her parents probably shouldn't immediately guess since they haven't up to this point. For example, maybe they shouldn't tell her until they've watched for a few days or weeks and are sure. From another angle, some more time spent talking about the first few weeks of school also allows you to explain more about her and her family than just dropping some facts on the reader and hoping they'll form some cohesion. Making here a magic user and stating that magic users live in isolated floating cities is a bit vague. What many authors do, and I would recommend this, is to spend some time early on defining how magic works in their setting. This makes a story more interesting, especially if the magic has limits or particular quirks; Such as if it only works on inanimate objects. That particular idea is probably a dud in terms of a story because it's too restrictive to the variety of things that can happen. To switch angles here, you should also have her notice more unusual things about her parents and the house. Not just the oddness of the house number or the seemingly endless work on a small garden. An usable example would be her having stumbled upon unusual rooms as a small child and having had difficulty finding them later. Maybe small children find it even easier to believe about magic when they see it, than adults? Well, that ran on a bit, but I hope you get the general ideas contained therein.
