My New Life At Witchery High

Part 7

Saturday finally arrived. I woke up feeling good, I had survived the first week of my new school, and I today I'm going to Amanda's for a Girls' Cozy Horror Night. That was the theme we gave our night coz coincidentally all 4 of us love to watch horrors! How sadistic we were :)

I skipped downstairs to find dad reading his daily morning papers, and mom cooking away, with delicious smelling bacon and eggs waiting for me.

''Morning dad, morning mom.'' I gave both a hug before proceeding to sit on the high stool by the kitchen table.

Allowing myself one cup of coffee (I couldn't drink too much else the caffeine's gonna keep me up the whole night), I dug into my breakfast mom had placed in front of me.

''Sweetie, who did you say you were hanging out with tonight? New friends from school?'' Dad asked, without looking up from his papers.

''It's Amanda Hunt, her family is one of the founders of Vale Springs so they go way back. Isn't it cool to find your ancestors part of the history you have to learn in school?'' I grinned.

Dad put down his papers and exchanged a silent look with mom, who had a frown on her face for that split second. Dad cleared his throat.

''Well I'm sure they are one nice family, do invite them over some time Sweetie. You need to make more friends.''

''Your dad's right, bring them over soon so that we can make use of the Bbq equipment I bought at the mall recently. I want to see how well this thing works.'' Mom said.

Something was up with the look they exchanged.

I shrugged an ok.

After breakfast and some chatting about my first week in school with my parents, I went back to my room and dutifully completed my homework for the weekend before Angel picked me up.

By the time I was done, it was already 4pm. I had one hour which was more than sufficient so I took my time to take a long shower, scrubbing myself clean and shampooing my hair thoroughly.

I blew dry my thick hair and braided it loosely to one side, making my hair looked soft and manageable.

Since I still had some time, I went on to put on some eye liner and lip gloss.

Opening my wardrobe, I opted to go casual since we were staying in the house anyway. I chose a green tank top with denim shorts, and put on a grey cardigan in case the night turned chilly.

Checking myself in the mirror for the last time, I decided I was decent and went down to the living room to wait for Angel to arrive. It was 10 mins before 5.

I felt a rush of excitement when I heard a car horning in front of my house. Grabbing my bag and putting on my beige ballet flats, I shouted byes to my parents and rushed out the front door.

Natalie was bouncing up and down at her front porch when we arrived. As usual she couldn't contain her excitement. Angel and myself were beginning to look forward to the night when Nat's excitement rubbed off us, with her still bouncing up and down in the car chatting excitedly.

''Stop it Nat, you are so going to pay for my spring if it goes haywire.'' Angel chided after deciding she couldn't take it anymore.

''Ok ok I'm just excited about the night, we have not been doing this for such a long time! And with Tas joining, it would be lots more fun!''

I smiled at Nat through the rear mirror. She's like an energizer bouncing bunny.

Earlier the day@ the Hunts' house

''Mich you little devil, come back here!'' Amanda screamed at the little figure toddling away from her in speed.

''Manda, you need to get ready soon. I thought your friends are coming over? I don't see your food ready, and the living room is in a mess. Can you please do something, I don't want your friends to think we are living in a sty.'' Mrs Hunt said, while gathering her keys and bag to go out for a company function with her husband.
