Mistakes

Love of food & Violence

Troy
As soon as that witch Hazel left I turned to Callan, "We need to get out of here." He nods and says "I knew something was off, I didn't think it was witches. Man, how many do you think her coven has?! Shit man this is bad, what if she knows oh Christ!" I place a hand on my brother's shoulder to comfort him.

"Calm down, she doesn't know about us if she did she wouldn't have undone her spell. Don't worry, we need to get out of here, it's too open." I walk out with Cal in tow, we still need to get the package. If we don't we won't be able to return to our cite.

I really hope Hazel doesn't get in the way, I'm kind of tired and I want to relax. Killing a witch and her coven would be a stressor that I don't want.

Hazel

Ten minutes into lunchtime I arrive at the school's cafe. "Hey Hazel, are you okay?" Lucas asks. I smile a little at him "Yeah today's just been stressful, I'm gonna get some food." I point at the lunch line, he nods awkwardly and I sigh. "Look Lucas this doesn't have to be awkward if you don't let it be." He nods silent, I shake my head in exasperation.

Ugh, I need food! Walking past him I see the bitch trio at the table in the center and chuckle. Figures, everything they've done so far has been stereotypical why stop now?

Whatever not in the mood I want food. I get in line behind Jasmine and a girl with long pink hair with white and grey mixed in. Oh, shit this sucks. It happens but it sucks all the same. This girl with blue eyes and a black snapback has a spirit body that is endangered.

It's not that rare but only one in every hundred Mages have spirit bodies endangered. Humans are the cause of it, of course. When we learn of a spirit body endangered we help nurse the population back to health, but once we finish that one another case pops up.

My family grew many spirit bodies in our yard to help, but it barely made a dent with the destruction of them. I get to where I can see the food and my thoughts dissipate. Pizza, grilled cheese, fried chicken and gravy, peaches, apples, potatoes, bread. Yummy!

I hear a giggle and look at the pink haired girl. "Huh?" I ask confused, she smiled "I said your drooling." I smile and replied "Most definitely, my top favorite foods are Italian and fried chicken." I'm so excited I hop a little and squeal "Delizioso!!" I hear laughing and look up from my- I mean the food- well no because it will be mine soon enough!- anyway I look up and Jasmine and pink haired girl are laughing and guffawing at my reaction to the food.

"Come on this food is awesome! I have earned the right to squeal like a fan girl." I say putting my hand down jokingly. The two keep laughing. Once they die down I say "I'm Hazel, by the way, but you may refer to me as food lover! What can I say? I'm addicted to food. Seriously I haven't gone a day without it," I lean forward as the laugh again "like ever." The pink haired girl wipes tears from her eyes "I'm-" chuckle "Zellabell, but you can call me Zell." She chuckled some more and I laughed along with Jasmine.

I think I just made two friends if I do say so myself. For some reason I felt like the scales weren't exactly even.

Later That Day

I'm walking home because Janet had a conference meeting with her boss, his supervisor, and her team. Jeremy has foot ball practice, and I know no one else who can pick me up. Today was eventful, I made three friends at lunch, Jasmine, Zell, and Chrys.

Yeah apparently I found three of the few decent people at that school to make friends with. Though I think my new enemies balance the scale. I mean I have a teacher, the school's bitch trio, and Lucas and his "posse" as enemies. Yeah he didn't take too well to rejection the second time and he got his friends to be jerks to me.
