The Seventh Member - The Secret Circle

Chapter 6

This week has been really busy and stressful so sorry for not updating but I'm back.

Evie:

Another day. A week has passed since the day I found out I'm a witch. I've avoided everyone besides Diana. She's the only one I can talk to right now. I've ignored Adam's several calls and texts. I haven't gone to the boathouse either, in fact, I've really only gone to school and back home. Tonight I'm going over to Diana's for a sleepover for a couple nights. She said I need to get out of the house and that I can take Luna with me.
I got dressed for school in dark blue jeans, a green and pink floral button down tank top, covered with a low v-neck white sweater, and brown heeled boots. I also added a dream catcher necklace with two charms on the right and left and a feather in the middle.

I drove to the school and Diana and I talked a little next to my locker.
"How are you doing? Are you ready to spend three days with me?" She asked with a smile.

"Hell yeah. I'm doing better, still avoiding the others. Nick, Faye, and Melissa don't really care to contact me anyway, I'm not close with them. Cassie and Adam have tried though. All I have to do is be with them long enough to bind the circle, and then I can go back to living life as an orphan with a living birth mother, an ignored sister, and a loving best friend who's boyfriend I'm avoiding."

"Evie, I-"

I looked passed her shoulder and saw Adam looking at me with regret. I cut Diana off, "I'll see you tonight."
I walked past her towards my class, passing Adam as he attempted to stop me.

Adam:

"I feel bad," I told Diana. "I shouldn't have sided with Faye and convinced you not to tell her sooner. Now she hates me."

"I'm sorry, Adam. Trust me, if there was something I could do, I would. It was hard enough to convince her to stay with me for a couple days. She's really upset, she feels betrayed by you and Cassie."

"I didn't mean to make her feel this way, I just wanted to give her time to process finding her birth mother and discovering the town's mean girl is her sister. We should've told her," I responded. I felt responsible. Diana wanted to tell the others about Faye and Evie being sisters, and then she wanted to tell Evie she's a witch so we could bind the circle. I convinced her otherwise, and I sided with Faye instead. Now Evie blames me and Cassie and I don't know how to get her trust back. I know that moment in the woods meant nothing to either of us, so she wouldn't be avoiding me because of it.

"What I don't understand, is why she's only avoiding you and Cassie. I was part of it too, I knew she was a witch and I kept that from her just like you and Cassie, yet, somehow she still trusts me. Anyway, are you okay?"

"Yeah."

"Hey," Cassie walked up to the both of us. "How is she? She's still not returning my calls or texts."

"She's alright," Diana responded. "She's staying with me for a couple days. I plan to bind the circle tomorrow night, since it's Friday, all we have to do is make sure Faye's still on board."

"I'm sure she is," I said.

"I'm surprised Evie agreed," Cassie said.

"Yeah, well, after she found out the truth about us and what Faye did to your car, she wants everyone to be safe. If that means seeing the both of you for a spell then she'll do it," Diana told us. I wish she'd allow me to talk to her, to let me apologize for keeping this from her when Diana, Cassie and I were the only three people she trusted.
"We should get to class, let's go."

Evie:

When chemistry class came around, the one I have with the whole group except Nick, I had to pair up with Cassie for the assignment. Wonderful. Trying to avoid her and the last time Cassie and I were paired in chemistry, Faye exploded our beaker and then her own.
