The Enchanted Leaf

Chapter two

~~~~Catalina~~~~

I went to me, Anastasia, and Savannah's tree fort. I sat in the fort and cried. Why did Tanner have to pick Anastasia? Why since she was the youngest she always gets picked last? It just wasn't fair.

Suddenly I saw Anastasia come in. I looked up from my hands over my face.

"Hello-Im here-ok-Im here-... Are you okay?" she asked out of breathe. "Oh... I..." I wiped away my tears."It's okay Catalina-I know you like him." she said to me to try to comfort me. "I don't just like him! I love him!" I practically yelled. "And all the boys like you the most!" I said. "Com down. It'll be alright! I won't say yes to any boy until you have a boyfriend." she said smiling.

I smiled back. "Thanks Anastasia." I said.

Suddenly I heard laughing. But no one was there. it was just me and Anastasia. "Hello?" I asked. It cackled again. "Ugh. Landon stop playing pranks on me and Catalina with your-'magic powers'" she told the wall. I got really confused... why was she talking to the wall? Was he blending in SUPER good or something? I reached out to touch the wall. I felt something but it moved. "Ahh!" I screamed and fell. "Landon! Stop!" Anastasia yelled at him. Then I saw Landon. He just appeared there. "Ok, ok." he said as he appeared. "Wha-jus-happened?" I asked confused. "Long story, short Landon played a prank." Anastasia said fast. "Uh... ok?"

"Hello? Can I come in?" It was Jackson.

We went outside. "Oh, hey Jackson." Anastasia smiled and blushed at him.

"Hey, what's up?" I asked him. He looked at me blushing instead. "Oh, hey." He looked down. "Sorry I bothered you. I just wanted to see what you were doing." He said shyly. "Surprise!" it was Landon. "Ugh. Landon don't do that. So you'd let THAT thing in but not ME?!" he asked looking at Anastasia like he blamed her but not me. "Well sor-ry mister but we did not let him in!! He pranked us!!" Anastasia told him. "Hehehe..." Landon turned invisible once more... or was he blending in? I couldn't tell but whatever I'll say he turned invisible. "Anastasia don't be so hard on him. He's just the same as you... he doesn't like Landon." I told her looking at Jackson. "Ok, sorry." she said smiling at him. "It's ok... I'm sorry too." he said looking at me now. "Well, we were just leaving so ya. And yes you can come in whenever you'd like. I mean just Jackson. Landon please ask us first." I said as me and Anastasia went off.

~~~~Jackson~~~~

I sighed. How I hope Catalina likes me. Such a pretty name, such a pretty face. Well, sure wish THAT wish would come true. But I have no idea how I'm gonna talk to Savannah about... how I'd need to break up with her if I went out with Catalina. Well, time to go to band practice. In my band theres me, Jason, Tanner, Aiden, and Tom. We're all great friends. I'm the lead singer and we right a lot of songs. I forgot what song we're doing tonight. Tonight we have a concert so we're practicing one more time.

I got to our practice studio. "Hey Jack! Ready to practice Counting Stars?" Asked Michael. Oh, right! That's what the song's called! Counting Stars! "Ya dude, let's start." "K. From the top, 1,2,3,4! (And Im gonna skip to the end cause im lazy.)

Lately I been, I been losing sleep (hey!)

Dreaming about the things that we could be

But baby, I been, I been prayin' hard (hey!)

Said no more counting dollars, we'll be, we'll be counting stars.

Take that money, watch it burn, Sink in the river The lessons I learned

Take that money, watch it burn, Sink in the river The lessons I learned

Take that money, watch it burn, Sink in the river the lessons I learned

Take that money, watch it burn, Sink in the river the lessons I learned

"Good work everyone! We'll be great for the concert tonight!" said Tom as he slapped me on the back. "Well, I guess we'll just wait for tonight then bye dudes!" I told them as I walked out.
