The Witch's Curse

She's Weird, She's Feared, She's Anais

"Love is like a shot to the heart"

'Unless you're Juliet then it's just an excuse to kill yourself' Anais thought, rolling her eyes at the nauseating, migraine-inducing book report about the pair of affectionate 13-year-olds and those who praise them. 'Hurry up already fat lips, lunch is in half-an-hour. Stop with your damn presentation and sit back down.' Anais didn't let her annoyance go by unnoticed, literally everyone knew she was getting tired of these presentations but all were afraid of her and her juvenile appearance. With her eerie black hair, overuse of eye-liner, abundance of piercings, and revealing use of the uniform.

Thankfully, Anais was endowed with a divine favor as the P.A. system went off. The principal announced a meeting in the auditorium for special commemorative news. Immediately, she stuffed her things into her bag and slammed open the door to find a familiar red-head and freckles, it was her friend Lilly waiting for her.

"Woodstock! 'Sup bitch!" Anais said with no regard for the other people in the hall.

"Please don't call me that, please let's just go..." Lilly whispers desperately while walking to the auditorium strapping a book close to her chest.

While walking, Anais punches Lilly hard on the shoulder, making the poor girl cry out in pain, "Woodie have a doobie, you're not you when you're Lilly. I want my Woodstock bitch!"

After some more physical abuse from Anais, the duo finally reached the auditorium grabbing a seat near the back. In the corner of her eye, she notices a streak of blonde hair and pasty skin. 'Shit, It's Chad the Cracker'. Groaning in annoyance, Lilly notices the Saltine as well but instead of joining in Anais' usual irritation at the sight of the Wheat Thin, Lilly sighs sorrowfully. Anais, noticing the change in routine, asks what's wrong with her Woodstock. Lilly motions that she'll tell Anais later and pays her attention to the principal starting his speech.

"I would like to congratulate our own Galley Grizzlies football team for their championship win. It's all thanks to our amazing quarterback Chad Johnson for bringing us our third victory, Chad give yourself a pat on the back!" The principal said motioning to the football team sitting at the front.

A handsome young man stands up and the auditorium applauds as Chad's teammates pat his back furiously and his bimbo girlfriend Jennifer, flipping her blonde hair, calls out his name. Anais rolls her eyes at the display. 'Barbarians, all of them, acting like brutes and congratulating the meathead for his dumbass "wins". Ugh, die all of you.'

The principal laughs with glee and clears his throat to indicate that there is more to his speech. "Alright settle down, settle down I say. As congratulations for our triumph a celebratory banquet will be held-"

Immediately, everyone went up in cheers at the offer of free food and fancy attire "...at Pablo's Mexican Buffet and Grill" Silence littered the air and one by one they all descended back down to their seats.

"Ahem. Alright you're all dismissed, return to your classes now...ungrateful brats."

While trudging through the exits, Anais quickly returns to Lilly and asks about what is bugging her. But, before she could open her mouth, Triscuit sauntered into the conversation.

"Hey, Weed-Wacker, how you holding up? You still sore?" Chad said chuckling at his own line while Anais eyes twitched with anger.

Lilly, avoiding eye contact, tried to avoid the altercation. "Leave me alone Johnson-"

"Yeah fuck off Ritz!" Anais barged in ready to fight the cracker

Tightening his fists, Chad switched his attention towards the crazy best friend. "Shut up, Emotard. I was just being friendly to little Lilly Princess here."

"We'd rather you die than you be friendly". Anais said flipping Chad off.

"Whatever, I'll be off then." Chad gives a wink to Lilly as he walks off. "See ya later Princess. Oh wait." Chad stops in his tracks and smirks arrogantly at the shying girl.

"You know I'm surprised you ain't actually filled with weeds down there." He laughs as he walks off to his class.

"Woodstock, you did not let that Saltine get with you" As Lilly replies with nothing but silence and avoided glances. Anais groans in frustration and pulls Lilly to the side of the auditorium. "Lilly, please tell me you at least you used protection. Please."

"That's the problem Anais. I didn't because I was too wacked up. We both were, and now...now I'm bearing his child."
