Stella looks at Violet. "How did you know my brother's name?"

Violet looked like she had a loss for words. "I didn't! I just, I- it came out!"

Stella stood up. "I don't believe you. You're a witch! That's how!"

A witch!? That is going too far.

"That is why the ghost wanted only you!" the brat continued, "because you are a witch!"

"I'm not!"

Stella looked to Kaia. "Are you a witch too?"

Kaia looked bewildered at her friend. "No of course not. Nor is Violet!"

This seems like a fun way to start your teenage years. Whatever, I am leaving.

I wait outside for a while. Standing in the middle of the sidewalk. When Stella storms out, she will just have to walk through me.

Three minutes and 15.61 seconds later, surprising enough. She storms out.

Oh, what a shock.

Oh, look at this, she is walking in my direction, and she walks through me. Not like this is obvious or anything.

Stella looks back at where I was. Shocked by the sudden cold air I displayed upon her. She stood there for quite a while. Almost insulted-looking. Then leaves.

I go back in.

"Violet, I know you're not a witch, but explain please," Kaia was asking.

"Trust me, the name just spilled out. That's it!"

Kaia stood up and put the ouija board away. Talking as she does so.

"That doesn't make sense."

"Not everything does. Maybe the ghost told me."

"No not that," Kaia interjected, "It doesn't make sense why she would storm off. She's my best friend."

Violet stood up too. "You're thinking more about the fact your friend left you on your birthday than your little sister using the name of a dead person though she never knew the name leading your best friend to accuse her of being a witch?"

"I mean, it connects so-"

"Since when did you become this selfish."

To rhetorical for a question mark.

Though Violet was exaggerating the situation quite a bit, she had a point. Violet leaves for her bedroom. She takes Kaia's present.

In her room, Violet sets up the ouija board.

"Am I really a witch?" Violet asks me. I move it to no.

"Can I ask for your name?"

'No'

"Okay. Should I put this away?"

'No'

"What should I ask? Uh, should I apologize? For calling Kaia selfish?"

'No'

"How did Mat die?"
