Under A Love Spell, Literally

0 4

"He's not ready yet!"

"He is! He has to be! They've been watching him forever!"

"But what if he's not? Huh? We can loose him!"

I'm awakened from my sleep when my whole family is screaming at each other, surprisingly. I'm a very deep sleeper, like even-when-there's-a-fire-deep sleeper. Plus, all of our walls are sound proof, due to having a big noisy family. This must be serious; for whoever's shouting to use their full supernatural power.

I quickly get out of my bed, and head to the kitchen where the shouting- screaming is. Once I get there, I see Mom holding a spatula in her hand, her face red from shouting, Dad's face so red, it's almost purple, Alexandro standing next to mom, trying to calm her down, and Katerina standing next to dad trying to calm him down. Lorenzo and Ceazar are trying to calm a screeching Alessandra in her baby chair. Christiano seems to be sleeping.

"What's going on?" I ask, my voice hoarse from sleeping.

Only then does everyone realize I came down. They all look at me, but then turn back to their screaming match. "Look, dad maybe we can wait-"

"NO! YOU STAY OUT OF IT!"

"Can somebody please tell me what's going on?" I ask, but receive no answer.

"I'm not risking his life!"

"If we don't do it now-"

"Hello?" I ask again, irritated.

Alessandra continues screeching in an annoying way. "Dad's right, maybe-" Mom interrupts Alexandro with a murderous look that shuts him up.

"Leonardo, I swear if-"

That's it. "STOP!" I yell so loud (with my powers, obviously), that the lamp above us, shakes and falls down. The room is dark, and finally everyone's quiet.

I wave my hand and the lamp is up and fixed again.

"Lorenzo, and only Lorenzo, tell me what's going on." Dad runs a hand through his hair, and Alexandro guides mom to a chair to sit down.

"Mom thinks that Ceazar shouldn't take his Incantation tests until he's 15. And she doesn't want him to be stuck in his age. She wants him to live. Apparently there is a way to not become a Wicce', but it comes with sacrifices. And Dad doesn't think it's a good idea."

Wow, okay.

This is new.

I take a deep breathe, and the fighting starts again. I leave them behind and head to our living room. Drake, Katerina' husband, follows and sits next to me on the couch. It's way too early in the morning for this, and it's a Satuday.

"What do you think about all this?" Drake asks, and I turn to him. He has brown hair and hazel eyes. can see why Katerina fell for him, and not for all these other guys that were begging for her. She's beautiful with her long brown hair, and green striking eyes. Drake is quit as handsome, too.

"Honestly, I don't know. Every time one of us turn into Wicce's, Mom doesn't do anything. maybe it's because Ceazar is all getting into fights, depressed?"

"She'll come around. She's just stressed." Drake tries to comfort me and pulls me into a hug. I sigh and allow him to comfort me.

The weekend passes by without any other strange or weird events happening, and another week of school starts.

On Monday, Spencer doesn't come too school, so it's only Caroling and me. I have her in Bio, and then we sit together at lunch. The cafeteria is loud and boisterous, so it doesn't really help my headache. I take a big bite from my juicy and delicious cheeseburger. I close my eyes in delight and sigh.

"Are you sure you've tasted a burger before?" Caroline asks me, laughing.

"Of course, I did. But this is a very good one."

"Meh. I've tasted better than this." She says with a wave of her hand.

I pretend to look taken back and place a hand on my chest. "Are you... are you doubting my food skills? I should have you thrown in the dungeon!"

"Dungeon? Are you serious? Couldn't you have come up with something better than that?" She asks while laughing and I join her.

My laughter soon dies down, though, when I spot Troy shoving his tongue down a brunette's throat that's sitting on his lap. I feel a pang of jealousy in the pit of my stomach.

"What's wrong?" Caroline asks, concerned, and then follows my eyes to where I'm shooting daggers at her back.

"Oh. That's Sky. Perfect athlete, popular girl, and straight A student. Everyone's favorite, except she's a bitch."

Sky turns towards us, as if feeling us stare, and catches my eye. She narrows her eyes at me, and then turns back around to eating Troy's face. I scoff, and go back to eating my burger, but it's not so appetizing anymore.

"They've been together for a while now, but there are rumors saying that she's only with him for popularity. She's already very popular, but he boosts her popularity. School's 'Golden Couple'" She says putting air quotes around 'golden couple'.

'Golden Couple' my ass, I think bitterly.

No one likes a hater, the other side of me thinks.

Where did you come from?

I'm your conscious, moron.

If you're my conscious, then that means we're kind of the same person, and you just called yourself a moron.

The school bell that signals the end of lunch, interrupts my conversation with myself.

"It's such a shame Troy is with her." Caroline says with a sigh.

"No kidding."

We walk together, leaving the cafeteria, when I feel some cold liquid hit my back and hair. My jaw drops from shock, and Caroline widens her eyes. I turn around and come face to face with Sky, an iced tea in her hand.

"Oh my God, I'm so sorry! I didn't see you there." She looks genuinely sorry, and any other normal person would've believed her. But not me. I can see it in her eyes, and 600 years of experience help, too.

"Are you okay?" Troy asks, his attention directed at me.

"Yeah, thanks for asking." I reply with a sweet smile, and he returns it. My heart almost stops when I see 2 dimples appearing on his cheeks. Seriously though, can he get any cuter?

I had almost forgotten about the incident until Sky says, "I have a shirt in my locker. Come with me and you can change. Bye, baby." She gives Troy a long big kiss, tongue and all, and struts along, expecting me to follow her.

"I'm sorry about what happened. She didn't mean it." Troy says apologetically. Of course she didn't.

"It's okay. You have nothing to apologize for. I have to go now." I say with another smile and hurriedly leave.

Sky is nowhere in sight when I leave the cafeteria, and I have to search all the hallways to find her.

Alas, I finally find her leaning against her locker, looking at her nails. Her nice act is down, and she looks at me bitterly.

"Took you long enough. Ever tried running?" She says with a roll of her eyes.

I ignore her and sigh. I'll never stoop as low as her, and that's why I didn't throw any food at her.

"Can we just get this thing over with?"

She sighs and walks towards me. She leans her face so close to me, I can see smell her heavy perfume.

"If you ever think you can steal Troy from me, you're wrong. Think again. I'm the most popular girl in school, and he won't leave me for you." She points at me, and it takes me everything I have to not snap her perfect manicured finger in half.

Sky shoved the shirt at me, and leaves, leaving me boiling with anger in the middle of the empty hallway.
