UNTAME ♛ Benny Weir [2] EDITING

chapter 1 ♛ lawn of the dead

"Think about it, guys." Benny says excitedly. "Anything we want. Cash, cars, candy..."

"So you only use magic spells for stuff that start with the letter 'C'?" Ethan interrupts.

"Cats, Cookies, Calum Hood." I mumble to myself.
"Crucio!" I yell a little louder, pointing my pen at Ethan.

He puts his arms up in surrender.

"Okay, Voldy, chill out." Ethan says.

Benny scoffs.

"Okay, once we were lowly high school noobs." He says.

I clear my thought.

"You still are." I say.

They just ignore me.

"Now we're vampire killing, spell-casting rock stars! The world is our oyster!" He continues.

"Have you ever actually had oysters?" Ethan asks. "Not something you wanna swallow - more like something you'd cough up."

I gag.

"Yeah, nice. Nice image to start the day." Benny says, looking over my head. "But there's the image I need."

He nods his head down the hall. I turn around to see a girl in my math class. Denna? Dayna? Something like that. I can't remember.

"I know you're the seer and all, but I can see her with me." Benny says from behind me.

I can't help the small growl that escapes my mouth. I cringe and turn around slowly. It looks like they haven't noticed.

"Keep the magic on the down low, remember? Life just got back to normal." Ethan says.

"For you." I snarl.

"Would you two relax?" Benny says, as I receive uneasy looks from the both of them. "I got this."

After making a bunch of flowers appear into his hand, he walks away and I glare after him. And at his new interest.

I growl again, thinking of ripping those flowers right out of his hands...

"Can I talk to you?" I hear a girl's voice say.

I turn around and smile at Sarah.

"There you are!" I say.

"Hey! How goes it? What's new?" Ethan asks.

Smooth, Ethan.

"Either of you. Can I borrow $20, friends? It's for a good cause." She asks.

"Broke." I state.

"What, did Hot Topic have another sale?" Ethan taunts.

I elbow him in the ribs.

"$20, like, now?" Ethan says with an awkward smile.

"Ummm-"

I hear crying behind me.

I turn and see the girl crying, and Benny not knowing what to do. I start to chuckle, but hide it behind my hair.

"Awesome news." He says, walking back over. "Della's dog died."

That's it, Della!

"And that's good news?" Sarah asks.

"Yeah!" Benny giggles like an idiot.

I scoff.

"Nice. Gotta go. Later." She says to us.

"See ya." I say.

"She said she loved my flowers." Benny starts. "Then she'd do anything to bring her dog back. Anything."

"Yeah." Ethan says.

I don't answer, but scowl down at my nails, pretending to pick at them.

"What if somebody magically brought her dog back? Can you imagine how grateful she'd be?" He says.

I look up at him.

"No." I state. "You're not doing that."

He furrows his brow.

"You were fine with magic a minute ago." He says.

I glare at him.

"No Benny, she's right for once. You cannot bring her dead dog back to life!" Ethan interjects.

"If he keeps pushing use the eye thing." He mumbles in my ear.

"Gladly." I say.

"Won't know until we try, right?" Benny says with a wink.

He must have heard because he gives me a cheeky grin and covers my face from his view.

Ethan tries to grab him but he walks off.

"Benny! Stop!" He says.

"If Harry Potter were here, he'd smack you around!" Ethan says.

"I'd stick that wand so far up his-" I start.

"Come on!" Ethan says, grabbing my arm.

Am I... jealous? Over Benny?
Come on, Hayley, come back to planet Earth.

It's never gonna happen. You're just lonely. Just let it go.

To be continued...
