Darkness [10]

I walked into the school wearing a black off the shoulder, long sleeve, high waisted shorts jumpsuit. I had on black booties, my hair was in a cute messy bun and I had natural makeup. I swayed my hips as I moved down the hall going towards my locker.

Before I even got there, Faye grabbed my arm and pulled me with her until we were at Melissa's locker. Melissa was going through her locker and Faye leaned up against the one next to hers.

"Boo." Faye says when Melissa closed her locker, making her jump.

"Don't, Faye. I'm not in the mood." She grumbles.

"No need to be bitchy." I smirk and run a hand through my hair.

"Okay. Enough. Seriously." Faye tells her best friend. Melissa starts walking with Faye beside her. I walk on the opposite side of Faye.

"Enough what?"

"This whole moody, mopey, thing. I'm over it. We all are." I tell her annoyed.

She scoffs at my words. "The sensitivity to yourself is touching."

"Look." Faye grabs her as we come to a stop. "Staying sad all the time isn't gonna make Nick's death any less real. It's just gonna make your life worse." She looks at me. "I mean, look at Aria. She's over it and living her best life."

"Not over it but whatever." I smirk.

"Acting normal makes me feel like I'm being disrespectful to his memory." She says sadly. I laugh.

"If he could hear you now..." I shake my head with a wide smirk. "He'd tell you to get over it and move on." I stretch. "Jesus. It's like a pity party whenever you walk into a room. It's not his funeral anymore. Damn."

"Thanks. Good pep talk." She nods sarcastically.

"He really cared for you. And you did him. But he's gone. I accepted that. So will you." I smile slightly before replacing it with a smirk. She smiles a true smile at me.

"You need a boost." Faye points to her. "I need a boost. You too." She points to me making me smirk.

"Still not making me feel better." Melissa tells us.

"No, but I know what would." I look at Faye in curiosity. "Getting our own magic back, again. I want to be a real witch instead of this spell by committee thing."

"I'm down."

"Dream on, Faye." Her best friend tells her before turning to leave.

"It's not a dream. And I think I know how." She smirks at us.

We were all at the abandoned house after getting a frantic call from Diana. Apparently something happened to Adam because of Cassie.

I stare at her.

"You did that to me." Adam croaked out.

"I don't know what happened." She says in defense.

"You got upset..." Diana starts.

"My throat started closing up." He says.

"Like with what happened with Luke." Melissa chimes in. "You did that, too."

"No. Totally different. Luke went up in flames." Faye contradicts.

"What the hell is wrong with you?" I ask Barbie disgusted.
