Sorry if I have grammar/spelling mistakes! I just wanted to hurry up and post an update!

Marie's P.O.V.

Today was Monday and I thank God for that. I needed school to keep me occupied with everything that's been happening.

I was currently walking down the sidewalk to my first period. I hope I don't run into Nathalie or any of her friends. I've decided it was best for me to stay away from them especially after hearing Fay's phone call with Kate.

"Hey." I hear Zayn's voice. I look up and see Zayn, Harry, and Phoebe walking towards me. It was shocking to see Zayn and Harry together but I guess they're friends.

"Uh.. Hi." I wave at Zayn and not the other two since they didn't even bother greeting me.

I wonder what Phoebe would think about Harry and Fay sleeping together last weekend. I know she's infatuated, or in love with Harry. Harry was staring at me with his usual glare. It's like the guy could see right through me and hear my thoughts.

"How've you been?" Zayn asks. Phoebe stares at her nails and Harry is still staring at me.

"To be honest.. I've been confused and upset.." I look down at the cement sidewalk.

"Well I mean you did find out you're a witch." Harry blurts out. I look around our surroundings before I shushed him.

"Marie you have to stick with us." Harry tells me, more like demands. Could he read my thoughts? Did he know I didn't want to hang out with anymore?

"I'm gonna go to class." I don't reply back to Harry and attempt to walk pass Zayn and Harry. They were both in front of me and it felt like they were trying to block me from leaving.

"Marie." Harry grabs my arm and I turn my head back at him. "I know you. I know you won't be hanging with us after last weekend. We're stronger when we're together.." I scoff at his words.

"You don't know me Harry. None of you guys do. You guys just lured me in your group so I could help you guys." They furrow their brows at me. "Before I left your house last weekend I overheard Fay calling Kate that the plan "worked"." I use my fingers to quote it. "I knew something was wrong when Nathalie wanted me to party every weekend and when you chased me after the fight." I roll my eyes at him. "You can't manipulate me." I turn my back from them and walk inside the building leaving them shocked.

I felt better letting everything out. I should've known better than to hang out with these people.. I even had second thoughts about Harry but of course he lived up to my first thoughts.

I wanted nothing to do with him or any of them at this matter. I don't even understand what's wrong with me. This doesn't happen in real life.. This happens in movies and books.

...

"Hey" Kate walks up to me after I walk out of the building. Today has been a long, boring, stressful day and I know if I ignore her she will just keep on following me.

"Hey." I stretch my cheeks to make it look like I was smiling but it came out as a frown.

"Listen, I know last weekend was.." She struggles trying to finish her sentence.

"Crazy?" I answer.

"Yeah. Crazy." She laughs to loosen up the tension. "But I'm glad we found out who you were."

"Who's we?" She becomes nervous at the question and it takes her a minute or two just to answer.

"Well we kind of knew something was going on with you.. We just didn't wanted to confront you about it because we weren't sure if you really are a-"
