That saying about how bad things come in threes is bullshit. There have been way more than three monsters and I'm tired of it. The last one stirred up some feelings I didn't want to discover yet.
It was a unicorn but also slugs. The slugs would get into people's minds and alter them drastically. I was lucky I didn't fall victim to it.
Hope did. That wasn't the bad part.
Josie did.
It went something like this.
FLASHBACK
Josie and Lizzie were back from their trip from Europe. Lizzie was already acting different. Josie wasn't at first. Now, she's all peppy and bubbly.
She walked over to me with a wide smile on her face.
"Scar, have I ever said how beautiful you are?" She asked me.
The breath was knocked from my lungs. I've had these feelings in my stomach ever since Jo's birthday. Something I couldn't get rid of. Then she went to Europe to see her mom and I had time to think. I thought it was just a stupid little crush that would pass. And it did for a little bit.
It's back now.
"No, I don't think you have." I replied wearily.
"Well, you are. I don't say it enough." She smiled and just walked away. I caught a glimpse of the necklace she was wearing. It was the birthday gift I got her.
Snap out of it, Scar. She's your best friend at this school. You need friends. Not girlfriends.
PRESENT TIME
Then, I heard her sing. If I didn't have a crush on her before, I certainly do now. She is so talented. I didn't know she had the in her. Lizzie constant shines over her, no one knew Josie could sing like that.
I've been trying to avoid Josie but well, that hasn't been working out. Surprisingly, no one has caught on about my crush. I haven't said anything to anyone about it. This needs to stay to myself. No one can know.
And now, I get to my spring break with Josie, Lizzie, Alaric, Emma, Kaleb, Dorian and Hope going to Maple Hollows to retrieve the urn that Alaric threw in the river when he was possessed by a magic slug.
What the fuck is my life?
Alaric rented a van. A rusty van. I was shoved between Josie and Hope.
"Dr. Saltzman, this van is very...white of you." Kaleb muttered. I stifled a laugh.
"It's retro." Alaric retorted.
It's old and it smells.
"It's a gas-guzzling atrocity on wheels." Lizzie deadpanned.
