Dear diary,

TODAY WAS A DISASTER!! I wanna curl up in a ball and die after what happened today. So basicaly when I got to school May was picking marigolds in the front of the school. I was wearing my robe and carrying the robes. I walked up to her and asked "Did you bring the lilacs?" "Yes I did" she said. Then she took the bag of lilacs out of her backpack and put the marigolds in it. Then I took the bowl out of my backpack and she dumped in the flowers. After that we went inside and put the robes in our lockers. "We have to do the spell at exactly noon for it to work" I told May.

During lunch, we got the robes out of our lockers, put them on over our clothes and went to the bathroom. The robes were WAY big on us. I pulled the eyeliner out of my backpack and we took turns putting it on in the mirror. "You sure this is gonna work?" she asked. "Of course it is! I found it online" I said. Then we went outside and found a shady spot under the trees. After that I took the bowl out of the backpack and put it in the grass. We put leaves around it in the shape of a star. "We also have to tie our hair back" I said. I took two hair ties out of my backpack and gave her one. Once our hair was tied back and it was exactly noon, we were ready. We kneeled on the ground.

"So what do we do?" asked May. "Okay so we hold hands and dont let go until after the spell is over" I said as I grabbed her hands. "Now we have to summon Mother Witch with a chant" I said. "And whats the chant?" she asked. "Above the clouds and sky of blue Our Mother Witch we call to you To place a hex upon a foe We summon you from down below" I said. And so we did the chant to summon Mother Witch. Suddenly, I felt a wind blow. "Okay I think she's here" I said. "Now what do we do?" asked May. "We have to chant Hexus Smexus and the name of the person we're hexing, so we have go chant Hexus Smexus Sugar Pink and slowly get louder and faster. And if someone messes up we have to start over." I said. And so we began chanting for a few seconds until May messed up. she said Hexus Sexus instead of Hexus Smexus. "DID YOU JUST SAY SEXUS?" I laughed. "OH MY GOD IT WAS AN ACCIDENT I SWEAR" she said. "EWWW" I said. We were both laughing. "Okay we need to like actually focus, cuse if we keep messing up Mother Witch is gonna leave" I said. And so we began chanting and slowly getting louder and faster like the spell said. And it sounded a little something like this. "Hexus Smexus Sugar Pink Hexus Smexus Sugar Pink HEXUS SMEXUS SUGAR PINK HEXUS SMEXUS SUGAR PINK"

We'd been chanting for a few minutes when suddenly I heard a voice say "What the f*ck" May kept chanting trying to ignore it, but I stopped and turned around. IT WAS LISA. "GO AWAY" I yelled angrily. "Just keep chanting" May wispered. "You realize this is the type of shit that gets you bullied" said Lisa. "THIS IS LIKE NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS" yelled May. "YEAH GO AWAY YOU MUGGLE" I yelled. "IF YOU DONT GO AWAY RIGHT NOW WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO HEX YOU" said May. "YEAH LIKE WE'LL HAVE TO" I said. I hissed at Lisa. May began to bark at her. We were both hissing and barking at her, hoping she'd go away. "Harry Potter isnt real!" said Lisa. Thats when I started chanting "HEXUS SMEXUS LISA SCHULTZ" May started chanting with me. And it sounded a little something like this. "HEXUS SMEXUS LISA SCHULTZ HEXUS SMEXUS LISA SCHULTZ HEXUS SMEXUS LISA SCHULTZ HEXUS SMEXUS LISA SCHULTZ" We closed our eyes and slowly got louder and faster, hoping she'd go away. And guess what? Our spell worked. She ran away.

"She's gone" I said. Now this is the part where we got a little crazy. Cuse watched are suposed to let their crazy side out sometimes. We began chanting "Hexus Smexus Sugar Pink Hexus Smexus Lisa Schultz HEXUS SMEXUS SUGAR PINK HEXUS SMEXUS LISA SCHULTZ" We both stood up and jumped and spun around while we were chanting random things. Then we closed our eyes and were screaming "HEXUS SMEXUS SUGAR PINK HEXUS SMEXUS LISA SCHULTZ" until we heard a few laughs. We opened our eyes and turned around. Lisa was back and she'd brought more people including Bianca, Candy and Sasha. One kid even flipped us off. "GO AWAY MUGGLES" I yelled. Then May and I began to chant "HEXUS SMEXUS HEXUS SMEXUS HEXUS SMEXUS HEXUS SMEXUS" to hex all of them. Then suddenly, Sugar walked up and stood there in shock. "What the hell are you doing?" she said. "WHATS IT TO YA" yelled May. "Lisa told me you were trying to hex me or some shit" she said. "YEAH THATS RIGHT" I yelled. And then May and I got up close in her face and began chanting "HEXUS SMEXUS SUGAR PINK HEXUS SMEXUS SUGAR PINK" "You know that shit isnt real right?" said Sugar as we kept on chanting. Then suddenly, the principal (Mr. Anderson) walked up as we were chanting. May and I froze. As soon as Sugar saw him, she began to fake cry.

"Whats going on here?" said Mr. Anderson. "THEYRE HARRASSING ME" Sugar cried. "THATS NOT WHAT WE WERE DOING" said May. "Yeah like we were not doing that at all!" I said. "JUST LEAVE ME ALONE ALREADY, WHAT DID I EVEN DO TO YOU" said Sugar. She went up to Bianca and hugged her as Bianca pat her on the back. "SHE'S FAKE CRYING" I said. Mr. Anderson had a stern look on his face. "You two, guidance counselor's office now" he said. The other kids went oooooooh. "SHUT UP" I yelled at them. "Back at ya, yeasty" said Bianca. I wouldve lunged toward her at that moment but, you know, the principal was there.

Mr. Anderson walked May and I to the guidance counselor's office (the counselor's name is Mr. White by the way) As soon as we got there, I said "We werent trying to mean it was just pretend!" I said. "Yeah like we didnt know she'd actually be upset" said May. Then Mr. White gave us a long talk about treating others with respect or whatever. The rest of the day I wanted to curl up in a ball and die. I was trying not to cry in class. And you know what? I dont care what Mr. White said. IM NOT GONNA TREAT SUGAR WITH RESPECT!
