A Little Faith

Chapter 5

"Can you believe it's been one month since the new VKs arrived here?" Phoebe asked as we all sat down at our usual table for lunch, "It feels like yesterday when they walked through the doors and planted their first stink bombs."

Fairy Godmother gave us all off today, meaning the four of us could bond for a while and catch up. Phoebe was the only one out of the four of us who wasn't assigned to tutor a villain kid and had to attend school like the rest of the kids. She filled us in on everything that we missed in class and gave us the few notes that she had. After that we talked about the upcoming dance in a few weeks. Ben and Mal want to officially announce their engagement and couldn't think of a better way that having a formal dance in two weeks. The best part? They're having the dance at the museum to "make and change history" as Evie explained to me. That was the perfect cover for me to get Harry's hook back.

"Have any of you decided on a dress yet?" Wanda asked and played with her auburn locks.

"Oh yeah." Phoebe smiled and threw a few rough sketches on the table, "I was so bored in Language of the Stars Class, so I doodled a few designs in my notebook. I'm taking them all to Evie after school to get her opinion on which one I should choose. I bet you she's going to offer to make it herself."

Knowing Wanda, she's going with a white cocktail dress with a single blue ribbon around her waist. She's never been one to dress fancy or glamorous, just like her mother. Chelsea is going to choose something dark blue or navy, almost black to compliment her naturally cyan hair. As long as her outfit was sparkly and eye-catching, she was happy. I was thinking of making something myself, since that's what I always end up doing. Making stuff was in my blood, there was no denying it. Then the question every one of us actually wanted to ask finally popped up: Who are we going with?

"Well, just because Scully and I already spend so much time together, he suggested that we go together." Chelsea said nonchalantly.

"Wait," Wanda stopped her, "He suggested it? You know what this means, right? Chells, he likes you!"

Chelsea self-consciously tucked a strand of blue hair behind her ear, "What? No, don't be crazy. I'm his tutor, he knows me the best. So it only makes sense that he wants to go together."

"Yes, but HE suggested it." Wanda kept nagging, "I had to bribe Gil with honey and vanilla shampoo to get him to go with me because I need to keep an eye on him."

"Not to mention the fact that you just called him Scully." I pointed out, "Everyone called him Scull from the beginning. Remember the time Dough called him by his real name and he almost attacked him?"

"True. The buy sure doesn't mind you calling him by his real name." Phoebe agreed with me.

Chelsea blushed deep red and quickly gulped down her glass of milk, letting a few purrs slip as she enjoyed the kitty drink. It took her only a few seconds to think of a comeback before she started talking again, this time to me, "Don't go and put me in the spotlight, Terry. I'm half cat, remember. I catch on real quickly. You and Harry have become very good friends in a very short time. I don't need Cupid to tell me that you like him a little bit too much."

My wings twitched, something they did when I was found out or frightened. Chelsea knew that and smiled victoriously. Maybe I did have a small attraction towards Harry, but who wouldn't? He was attractive like lost things and his eyes reminded me of the rarest blue pixie dust. Don't get me started on his husky voice...

"Girls, her wings are glowing pink." Phoebe pointed out with a knowing smirk, "Looks like you've made her blush, Chells. Point for you."

I rolled my eyes as if nothing happened and folded my wings over my back in attempt to hide them, "What's the theme of the party? I need to start working on my dress if I want it to be decent."
