Charmed Again (Part 2/3)

Chapter 2

The next morning was like every other Saturday for past month. Except for Wyatt being in my room. I got up, brushed my teeth, brushed my now healthy, shiny brown hair and got dressed. I had gained more weight and I was now a size 8. Still skinny of course but my bones weren't visible.

I was wearing my sneakers, dark blue skinny jeans and a red top that flowed and bounced as I moved. I combed my hair back into a ponytail and let my natural waves fall down my back.

Wyatt had gotten up before me and was downstairs eating breakfast with Melinda. Piper was at the stove cooking eggs and bacon and Leo was reading the newspaper. I took my usual seat between Wyatt and Melinda and began eating with them both.

However this Saturday Chris came down the stairs, dirty, smelly and still half drunk. His date quietly left the house with her heels in her hand. Chris dragged himself through the kitchen and sat next to Leo.

"Chris when did you get home last night? And how much did you drink?" Leo asked with the same repulsed look Wyatt had last night.

"Dad please don't. I'm hungover and I need a shower and some food." Chris moaned and dropped his head on the counter.

I hadn't talked to Chris since the day I moved in. He wanted to sort out his head so I left him alone. We gave each other looks. Hated glances more like.

I turned back to my food and ignored that he was there. Wyatt and Melinda returned to their food aswell, seeing that I wasn't going to be in the mood to interact with Chris.

"So what are you kids going to do today?" Piper asked finally sitting down next to Wyatt.

"I'm going to help Dad at Magic School." Wyatt told her.

"I'm going to the mall with Payton,Patty and Penny." Melinda added to the conversation.

That just left me. Everyone was looking at me, waiting for me to say something.

"Just practise some spells I guess." I shrugged casually.

"Oh well nothing too extravagant. I'm going to call a technician because some of the lights in the restaurant have blown." Piper said getting up and taking our food plates with her.

"Oh um you know I'm pretty good with changing lights. My dad taught me a few tricks a while back." I told her turning around in my chair.

"Really?" Chris sneered lifting his eyebrows up in disbelief.

I glared at him back, making sure he knows not to mess with me. He just put his head back down on the table.

"Yes really. I've taken a course on electronics and lighting before..before uh..you know." I answered back.

"That's great. Come by whenever you can but before five o'clock." Piper told me.

I nodded and smiled. I heard Chris make a distgusted noise with his mouth. He then dragged his head up and lolled back and forth on his neck.

"I'm outta here." He said before swaying out of the kitchen.

I really wanted to give him a taste of what one of my headaches feels like, or maybe roast his balls with my lightening but I managed to control myself.

Wyatt and Melinda exchanged awkward looks as I huffed in annoyance.

Screw him.

"I'm going to get going, Wyatt are you coming now or later?" Leo asked his son putting down his paper.

"Yeah I'm coming now. You'll be okay by yourself today wont you?" Wyatt asked me leaning down to talk to me.

He had gotten up but I guess he didn't want anyone to hear what we were saying.

"Yes I'll be fine. If I get stuck I'll call someone." I answered back with a reassuring smile.

Wyatt smiled back and then left the kitchen with Leo. Wyatt had promised to help Leo sort out paper work and some books or something.

I hadn't stepped foot inside Magic School yet but I would like to. Wyatt had told me that they have loads of books on how to cast to spells and control your powers and I could need all the help I could get.

"Hey Anna, I have a few things to do this morning before I go to the restaurant so will you meet me there?" Piper asked cleaning up.

"Yeah sure, I'll drop by later." I told her.

I looked at Melinda and she was excitedly buzzing in her chair. It was pretty disturbing.

"Can you help me pick out what to where to the mall and then after your done doing spells and fixing the lights, can you help pick out one of my outfits for the school dance?" Melinda chipped with a bright smile.

I guess living in a house with two older brothers doesn't give her the chance to do girly sister stuff. We had bonded over the last month but Melinda had mainly hung out with her cousins. This was really the first time to get to know each other properly.

"Sure." I said with a smile and she jumped up out of her chair.

She launched herself on me and hugged my tightly. I was little shocked at her reaction but I tried to embrace it as much as I could. Then when she finally let go she quickly but happily skipped out of the kitchen and up the stairs.

I sat in my chair, catching my breath. Then I got up to go and follow her. Just another day living with the Charmed Ones...
