Bonnie POV

"I'm a seer."

The moment those words slipped out, I was like, 'Oops, why did I say that?' First off, I should've just started with, 'Hey, I'm a witch.' Now I've landed myself in this tricky situation. They're probably expecting me to be some kind of mystical fortune-teller, and they might start hitting me up for their fortunes like, 'Who's my future hubby?' or 'Am I gonna be rich and famous?' Nope, can't answer those. I mean, I do have some kind of idea of their future from the show, but I've already messed with so much, I can't rely on that knowledge. Although, if fate's got its way, maybe my TV knowledge still holds some value. Just hoping it's not the painful stuff, like, you know, character deaths and stuff -- ugh, never mind, can't jinx myself. Still got plenty of time before the pilot episode kicks in.

For now, I could start learning about reading the future or ask Grams for some divination tips. Oh! Remember TV-Bonnie had that seer thing going on, predicting Tanner's death and Elena's life tragedies? Maybe I could tap into that if it shows up. And if not, there's always tarot cards and those tricks that tipsy Trelawney in Harry Potter taught her students, even though they were kinda rubbish and lacked details. Even if it was a bit shaky, gotta give props to the Potterverse for the inspiration.

The second thing is, blurting out those words in front of my friends just sent my confidence packing. I mean, sure, I'm all adult-like in this teenage bod, but spilling secrets messes with my mojo. Feels like I'm on stage, belting my heart out to the whole world. Ugh... starting to feel a bit dizzy. Maybe I should've played it cool, not just dropped that bomb like an overexcited toddler. Regret levels? Through the roof.

Alright, let's circle back to this whole witch business. Hmm... magic. Maybe I should've kicked things off with some cool tricks, you know, just to avoid them thinking I'm completely nuts. Yeah, definitely should've started with a bit of magic, then hit them with the 'witch' bomb, and maybe later dropped the seer bomb. Ugh, what a disaster. I didn't even prep a speech or come up with a game plan. Well, gotta figure out how to clean up this mess. My friends and the new hottie are eyeing me like I've lost it. *sigh*

"Hey, don't give me those looks, guys! Let me break it down for you," I said, standing up and facing them like I'm about to put on a show. Talk about irony. I'm a witch, not a magician, for crying out loud. Ugh... "Where do I even begin with this?" I muttered under my breath.

Then my always-helpful bestie Caroline jumped in, though she looked just as puzzled as I felt, and was that a hint of worry in her eyes? Nice going, Bonnie, you've really got them thinking you've lost it. "How about starting from the start, Bonnie?" she suggested.

"Yeah, let's start from the top. Okay, I got this," I said, trying to sound confident, even though I was totally winging it. Hmmm... since I've already set up the magic to keep others from eavesdropping, might as well toss in the illusion charm too. If you haven't guessed from the name, the illusion charm makes our part of the backyard look normal to anyone outside. Alright, here goes nothing. This illusion magic is subtle, so us inside—meaning my friends and I—won't notice any changes. Now, to make them believe me. Magic. The supernatural. It all starts there.
