After school, Ella decided to go to the library because it wasn't that far away. She thought it must have some cool old-fashioned books. When she got there though, the gate wouldn't open and there was no lock on it. Ella thought it must be extremely bad rust. So she climbed the wall and went down the path. When she stepped on the first step to the door it opened! Ella wanted to turn back because she felt like this was going to be like one of those horror films where the amazing main character makes a bad decision and steps into the haunted house and then they find out it's haunted and are trapped..blah,blah,blah. But then she remembered that most of those films end in the main character finding out something amazing or something like that! So Ella went in anyway.

It was dark inside but not pitch dark, Ella could see where she was going. She found a section under one working light bulb, that was swinging out of the ceiling and creaking. She had a look through them. They all smelled like a fresh marker and they were all silver because of the blankets of dust on them. The different titles were ; The Girl Who Played The Wrong Drum, I Will Find You and Tis Night Now. Ella thought they all looked quite interesting but she was drawn towards a book that didn't have a speck of dust on it. It was called; The Bff Book, It had flower patterns on the front and it may have just been the bad lighting, but Ella thought she could see it glimmering as if it was calling her...Ella grabbed the book and ran home, she didn't want to be in that library a second longer! When Ella got home she opened the book and saw a chant it said it would draw girls to wherever you were. Ella thought this was completely stupid, but she did it anyway for fun.As the power comes to me,
I read this chant to summon The,
For my bff is bound to come,
And whoever doesn't is slightly dumb!
So I am lovely and so I do this chant,
And I summon a best friend a Bff at that.Nothing. Ella went upstairs slightly disappointed even though she had expected it not to work, she decided to get a start on some homework. A few minutes later, there was a knock on the door. Ella got very excited, she had been waiting on a new top that was frilled and was a pale blue. She opened the door, not to a postman, but to all the girls in her art class..'how do they all know my address?? I didn't give it to anyone' Ella thought to herself. All the girls came in for a movie night! Ella had so much fun. They watched lots of Jim Carrey movies, for some reason they all were HUGE fans of him.
*********************
Everyone went home at midnight. Ella thought that was the best night, since the last time her mum brought home chocolate! But she still wondered how it possibly happened.... Every girl, in the really fun class just so happens to come to her house? As if they had known eachother for years,close friends maybe even best friends...THAT'S IT! Best friend aka BFF! It was the Bff book it had drawn them to her house! Wow!... Wait, I wonder what other chants I could do?
