Darling, It's Once In A Lifetime

Chapter Two

        I lead Balz to the lunch room. I was still quite nervous I was praying he couldn't tell...to my dismay he could quite well. "Callix, are you okay?" he asked.

        "Who me? I've never been better." I said. Then suddenly a memory hit me.

        "Cecilia O'Fair! Cecilia O'Fair! She's a witch! She's a witch!" said a young man from the crowd. "Trust me I am a trained witch hunter. Let me introduce myself. I am Joshua Balistair (Balz) and I have caught many witches."

        "Burn her at the stake!" someone yelled.

        "No, please it's me just plain simple Cecilia O'Fair" I cried.

        No, this boy could not be Joshua Balistair from several years ago. This is a young boy. I am no longer Cecilia O'Fair. I have to stop thinking like her. I am Callix O'Fair now. Suddenly I watched Balz's friends walked past us. 

        "Balz, who is this?" asked the goth boy from my previous class.

        "Oh, guys this is Callix," Balz said. "Callix the guys Chris, Ricky, Ryan and Devin."

        "Nice, to meet you Callix," Chris extended his hand for me to shake.

        "Nice to meet you too." I said. I quickly darted away from the but I managed over hear what the newbies were talking about.

        "Dang, Callix is fine don't you think so, Chris?" asked Ricky.

        "I guess, you're still in  love with that girl from the past aren't you?" 

        "What...what...no I have Sabrina now. I don't even care about Cecilia." Chris said.

        "I wasn't even going to mention Cecilia, I was going say Trixie from that dive bar, she wouldn't stop hastling me but at least she was cute." Ricky said.

        "You know her name?" Chris asked.

        "Yeah she tweeted me this morning." Ricky said. I think saw me watching...though I tried to play it off as me waiting for Abbie.

        "Let's invite Callix to eat with us." said Devin.

         "I'll talk to her. Since I think she might like me better." Balz said.

        "Dude, she just met you." Ryan said. Oh no, another memory.

        "Cecilia, dear could please who's at the door." Mother said to me. It was a stranger. I had never seen him before. He grabbed me and I screamed.

        "Ladies and gentlemen I present to you Cecilia O'Fair." said Joshua Balistair.

        "Where am I, Joshua?" I screamed. I stood in a room before my mother, Diana, father, Henry, and younger brother, Jonah.

        I quickly found Abbie and joined and her boyfriend Bernard for lunch. "So, what do you think of the boys." I asked my friends.

        "They seem normal, Cal, so I'm really stressing about them." Bernard said.

        "Yeah, Callie, when did you get this paranoid?" Abbie asked. "You never are. Usually that's me."

        "I feel like these new guys are going to change of a lot of things around here." I said.

        "Callix, relax. That won't happen or my name isn't Abigail Farey." Abbie said.

        "Thanks, Abbie, you're a good friend. You too Bernard." I smiled. I could feel Balz, Chris, Ricky Devin and Ryan all staring at me from across the lunch room but I said nothing to Bernard or Abbie because I didn't want ruin are very amazing lunch.

        "So, Callix, has friends so we can't easily manipulate her." Chris sighed. "Shame she's hot though."

        I felt disgusted hearing that. Being...unique I can pick up on other people's conversations and I her that. They wanted to use me. A poor defenseless twenty-three year old.
