Enchantress

Darkening

I began to walk. Steadily pacing myself. People kept laughing at me in the halls. Pointing at me. I look around, scanning the area looking for Alexa. She was nowhere to be seen. When I arrive at the cafeteria I sat in my usual seat next to my other friend Jace.

He's been my friend since elementary school. My favorite part about him is his big fluffy dirty blonde hair. He always hates it when I play with it. We know everything about each other.

Because he's also my ex.

DUNN DUNN DUNNNNNN!

When I sat down I started playing with his hair. "I hate it when you do that." He angrily said. I started laughing while looking up to notice people STILL staring at me. "Why is everyone looking at me?" I questioned. Jace looked down at his lap looking nervous for a sec. Then he looked back up at me and began to answer. "Beats me." He said while shrugging his shoulders.

I look up to see Alexa standing with a group of people laughing. I tried to get up but I was stuck. I turn to look over at Jace and he is nowhere to be found. He just vanished. I scoot the chair back a little to see if it was just one of my things stuck on the table. When I tried to stand up my butt was still stuck to the chair.

I look up to see people running towards me with food in their hands. One by one they throw food in my face. Including Alexa and Jace. My only two best friends through food in my face laughing at me. There was different kinds of things thrown at me. Someone even threw a drink at me.

They threw many things. Things like mashed potatoes, power-aids, string beans, salads, dressing's, apple and orange cartons with the juice still inside. Lets just say by the end of it all, I looked like Swallow Falls off of Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs. Like I was thrown up on by a garbage can. I looked a hot mess.

So many things was going through my mind. I wanted to scream. I wanted to cry. I wanted to get upset. But I didn't. I was just force to sit there as everyone threw food at me. Ten minutes later the principal came in wearing her jet black pants suit.

"WHAT IS THIS NONSENSE!" She yelled while walking over to me trying to help... but it was too late. The damage was done. I could never come back from something like this. My friends betrayed me, laughed at me and enjoyed every moment of it.

"Who is responsible for this mess!?"

Silence filled the room. Heads were turning looking at other people. Many eyes were lost in thought. "If the person responsible does not come forward, half of you will be expelled!" I looked around and seen many peoples eyes widen with fear. Not to long someone shouted out a name. A name that took me by surprise.

"ALEXA!" That person shouted as you heard the fear in their voice.

When I heard her name something went over me. Was it fear. Or was it anger. My face was so red from embarrassment I held my head down. I was also a upset so my hair was turning red,  but at least my face matched my hair.

"Alexa?" The principal replied. "Please come see me in my office."

She turned and headed for the door then stopped. She turned back around facing the kids. "Everyone else clean up this mess, and three months detention."

The janitor Max come's and helps me get my butt from the chair. I think him. As I sit outside the principals office waiting for my mother. She comes around 11:30. I was surprise she got here so fast. She works all the way across town. But our house is like in the middle so I see and hear everything. She walks in and when I say that she was mad I mean MAD her hair looked like fire. She looks at me and her hair dies down a little. Then she looks at the principals office.

Furious, my mother storms in the principals office with me trailing behind her trying to keep up. We wait as the principal settles everything and explains to my mother what happened. While they were having a conversation back and forth all I could think about was Alexa and Jace. Mostly Jace. I really thought that things were going well between us again and hopefully we would have gotten back together. I guess I was wrong about him. About both of them.  

When the principal and my mother is done talking we leave. the principal tells my mom "Have a nice day." Then looks at me. "I'm sorry for what they have done they will all pay for there actions."

"It's alright." My mother replied. "Sabrina and I should get going so I can have a TALK... with her when we get home." I looked at her in confusion as we headed out the door.

Talk about what? I wondered.

We exit the school and my mother started to speed walk to the car. I do the same so I can keep up with her. When we get in she looks me up and down and smile. "I have something for you when we get home." She said while breaking the silence in the car. "I'm so happy about this."

She pulls out the driveway and starts to increase her speed. Like...A LOT. She was going really fast; I'm surprised a police did not pull her over. "OK MOM!" I screamed. "I would like to live long enough to see what you have for me at home."

We finally arrive. Thank god. She gets out before me and runs in the house. I start to question while closing the car door. "Is she for real right now?"

I walk up the steps to the front door. She pulls me in and slams the door behind her.

"Here." She says while holding her hands out to give me something. I look down and noticed she was holding a really big book covered with dust and cobwebs. I look back at her confused. "What is this?" I questioned.

"Sabrina its time you know." She takes a deep breath while placing the book down on the desk next to us. She looks back at me and grabs my hand.

"You're a witch."
