Charmed: Book One

Chapter Six:

I quickly ran in the classroom to get Wisp's essence and a cauldron to combine the ingredients in. Luna and Leo came running back with Stardust. She placed the Stardust into the cauldron. I stared to slowly mix the ingredients. A puff of light pink smoke arose from the cauldron. I stood back and wiped the sweat beads from my head. Leo dropped a ladle and jar by my foot. I bent over and grabbed the items. Leo winked and walked back to Luna. I carefully scooped the pink liquid into the small glass jar and popped the cork on top. I gave the jar to Luna, who then gave it to Mrs. Weiss. "A sleeping potion? Why...That's brilliant! Celestial and animal...making a sleeping potion! Why I'll never get over that. Fantastic work ladies!" Luna and I blushed. "Well, I guess that's all we have to do. You can go back to hating me," I said as I started to walk away. "W-Wait..." I turned around. "Look, I'm s...sorry." My jaw dropped. "Am I her first friend?" I thought for a second. "After school, my friends and I are meeting at Cafè Firefly. Would you like to go with us?" Luna's face brightened.
"EEEEKKKKKKK!!!!! 5PoM IS WHAT?" "Hehe, they're going to preform at the National tonight at 8!" I walked into the cafè, only to hear Harmony and Elizi fangirling. Luna didn't seem to like the noise very well, either. I sat next to Anmiè and Luna. Elizi and Harmony stopped what they were saying. "....You invited Luna?" "Yeah. What's wrong?" Harmony looked at Elizi. "Well you see--" Sirona walked in with her partner from earlier. They casually walked in and sat next to Elizi. "Sorry for arriving late. This goof lost his jacket!" Sirona giggled and squeezed his arm. "Anmiè's face brightened. "Sirona! You didn't tell me you had a crush! Who's this little boy-toy of yours?" Sirona continued to giggle. "This is Parker! Isn't he the cutest!!" Parker was fairly taller than Sirona. His messy black hair stopped at his ear. He was wearing a gray shirt and a black jacket. "What did we miss?"
"5PoM is going to preform at the National!" I looked over and saw Luna with a face of disgust. "I'm guessing she doesn't like 5PoM.....Maybe that's why Harmony and Elizi don't like her......" "If we all chip in, we can afford enough tickets for all of us....Well, most of us," Harmony said, casting an icy glance to Luna. The entire table was silent. Anmiè looked around. "So how about those tickets? We'll need seven." "I can't WAIT to see my little Squishy!" "Or Mikey," said Elizi. "Or Ashton," said Anmiè. The girls planned out the nights festivities, while Luna and I sat in silence.
"Abra, have you seen my rabbit earrings?" "Look by your mirror." I rushed over to my mirror and grabbed my earrings. I was wearing a gray sweater, bleached jeans, and flower sandals. I grabbed some granola bars and put them in my gray purse. I kissed Abra goodbye as I ran out the door. "I want you back before twelve!" "Ok!" I saw Anmiè and her dad pull up to my house. I walked over and opened the door. "Thanks again for picking me up." "No problem, Sweetheart!" Anmiè was wearing a pink crop top and black leggings. "Everything's ready, you can go now daddy!" Anmiè's dad started to drive off.
Harmony, Sirona, Elizi, and Luna were already there when we arrived. I hopped out of the car, thanking Anmiè's father. "I'm surprised Luna actually made it....." Sirona and Parker were flirting, while Luna was purchasing a shirt. "Luna, what shirt did you get," asked Harmony. "Oh uh....nothing." "Was that Luke?" "N-No!" Harmony, Anmiè, Elizi smiled and went to get seats. Sirona and Parker went off in the other direction. People were swarming around the stage. I walked off to go find something to do during the concert.
I walked around for a bit, and saw a guy yelling at a concession stand owner. "Look, so I'm missing fifty cents to a damn shirt, but I have a majority of the price, so just give it to me!" The owner looked furious. I ran over to stop further conflict. "Excuse me, but do you mind if I pay the last fifty cents?" The owner calmed down. I exchanged the fifty cents for the shirt. I gave the shirt to the man. "Thank you, so much!" "Don't mention it!" The man was tall, his messy brown hair covered his right eye. "The name's Apollo. You?" "U..Usagi.." "Do you, by any chance, go to Ravenwood?" "Yes." "That's great, I'll repay you on Monday, okay?" I nodded my head in agreement, as we both walked our separate ways.
The rest of the concert was uneventful. I talked to some squirrels, who told me about their preparations for winter hibernation. Suddenly, a horde of people came from the stage. "Finally, this concert is done..." Luna, Anmiè, Harmony, and Elizi were giggling and talking about the concert. Sirona and Parker came from the left, holding hands and kissing each other's necks. "Come on Sweetheart! Let's take you home!"
"Did you have fun," said Abra. "Eh, it was okay." "It sounds like you had a good first day. You sound like you need rest, kiddo. Change your clothes and hop into bed." I did just that, and kissed Abra good night. I turned off the lights and pulled the covers over me. A wave of dreams crashed my mind, and swept me to sleep.
