Willow the Witch

Chapter 1

I sat on my bed with my music up high, the vibrations could be felt all aroudn the rooms and I knew the neighbours wouldn't be happy. Already I had been spoken to by Ms. Crabfield, known to all the kids in our neighbourhood as Ms. Crabby. 

(Flashback)

She yelled at me for the 'racket' it was creating and I groaned in response, her face had gone beet red and I struggled not to laugh. She was not an attractive old lady. Frizzy, short grey hair, misty grey eyes and a thousand wrinkles. I cringed as she spat on me during her yell fest, her teeth were yellow and her breath smelt like dog poo. I wish she would just leave me alone already! I thought to myself.

I shut my eyes for a moment and when I opened them again Ms. Crabfield's face was blank, void of all emotion.

"I'm sorry, I don't remember what I was doing. I'll just leave you alone for now Meg." Her voice was monotone as she said it, her stare was blank before she turned to walk away. What the hell happened, one second she's screaming in my face and the next she's walking home after apologizing? I shook my head and returned to my room, turning the volume up further.

(End Flashback)

My phone flashed from across the room signalling that I had gotten a text and I groaned loudly as I turned the music down. I trudged over to my dresser where my phone was and my face lit up as I read the text message.

Lina: Yo Meg, wanna hang at my place 4 2night?

Me: Totes! Be there in 10 ;)

Lina: kk c u then

Thank god Lina asked, I needed to get my mind off of what happened earlier and Evan.I grabbed my favorite leather jacket and keys and raced over to Lina's house as fast as I could go.

"So after he handed your Ipod over he smashed the wall and stormed off? Issues much!" Lina laughed. I nodded and bit my lip, sort of regretting telling her because she had been known to try and hook people up.

"But it's not important anyway, what's important is how you are going with Allan." I smiled, turning the whole conversation around. She blushed and quickly changed the topic, clearly something had happened there. 

"Girls! It's time for dinner." Lina's mum beckoned us to the kitchen with the smell of spaghetti bolongese adn we licked our lips. We turned to one another and raced out of her room, whoever got there first got first serving. I gave a yelp as my socks slid on the floorboards and I fell down on my ass. I sat there for a moment, rubbing my sore butt before turning to Lina. She was biting her bottom lip, trying very hard not to laugh but her shoulders shook fiercly and she let out a massive bellow. It was only a matter of seconds before I joined her, we laughed until our sides hurt and tears streamed down our faces. Her mother shook her head and shuffled into the kitchen grabbing a bowl of spaghetti for herself and leaving 2 other bowls out for us.

Finally when we had finished laughing we both fought to grab a bowl first and sat down on her couch to eat. I moaned as the spaghetti hit my tongue, it was so good! After i had finsihed wolfing down the whole bowl, while burning my tongue in the process I whined about having to get up and move. The feeling of being on the couch all warm and comfy was just that, comfy. I looked at Lina as she got up for seconds and pleaded with puppy dog eyes.

"Pretty please?" She shook her head with a smile "Pretty please with spaghetti sauce on top?" She grinned mischieviously and walked away, poking out her tongue as she got more. I wish I had more! Stupid Lina. I thought to myself. I looked down at my bowl and gasped, it was refilled. I looked at my bowl and then the kitchen, when had I gotten up to get more? I only remember being lazy and asking Lina. What the hell?

"Wow Meg, super speed huh? Didn't even see you in the kitchen." Lina mocked, though surprise was evident on her face. I looked back down at the bowl and the images of what happened with Ms. Crabfield flashed within my mind. Didn't this happen before? What the hell is going on? I shook my head and grinned as I spooned a mouthful into my mouth, whatever was happening it's probably only my imagination.
