Revealing her abilities to her friend

Maki spent the next few weeks in a state of excitement and nervousness. She spent every spare moment researching magic, trying to learn as much as she could about her new abilities. She scoured the library, reading old texts and scrolls that spoke of spells. She practiced in secret, using her powers to make small objects float or to light candles with a flick of her wrist.
But as much as she enjoyed her newfound abilities, she also knew that she had to be careful. She couldn't risk revealing her powers to anyone, not even her best friend. She knew that in the world she lived in, witches were not always met with kindness or understanding. They were often feared and misunderstood, and Maki didn't want to be seen as an outcast.
One day, as she was practicing a simple levitation spell in the privacy of her bedroom, she heard a knock on the door. She quickly hid the book of spells she had been reading and answered the door to find her best friend, Rina, standing on the other side.
"Hey, Maki! I was just wondering if you wanted to come to the lake with me and swim. It's such a beautiful day and I thought it would be fun to cool off," Rina said, a bright smile on her face.
Maki hesitated, not wanting to reveal her powers to her friend. But at the same time, she didn't want to miss out on the opportunity to spend time with Rina. She decided to take the risk.
"Sure, that sounds great," Maki said, trying to sound casual. "I'll meet you at the lake in half an hour."
As they walked to the lake, Maki got nervous. She knew that she couldn't let her powers slip, but she also knew that it would be hard to resist using them. She took a deep breath and tried to calm her racing thoughts.
When they reached the lake, Maki and Rina undressed and they swam in the lake. Maki couldn't help but feel a sense of freedom and joy. She was having so much fun that she forgot all about her powers. But as they were about to leave the lake, Maki's foot slipped on a wet rock and she lost her balance, stumbling and falling into the water. As she went under, she panicked and without thinking, used her powers to lift herself out of the water and back onto the shore.
Rina's eyes widened in amazement as she watched Maki effortlessly float out of the water. "Maki, how did you do that?" she asked in amazement.
Maki's heart raced as she realized that she had accidentally revealed her powers to her best friend. She hesitated, not sure what to say.
"It's okay, Maki. You can trust me. I won't tell anyone," Rina said, placing a comforting hand on Maki's shoulder. "I've always known that you were special. I just didn't know how special."
Tears of relief and gratitude welled up in Maki's eyes as she realized that she had nothing to fear from her best friend. From that moment on, she knew that she could trust Rina with her secret.
