Spell Book of the Dead

It's Just One of those Days

        The next morning I wake with the same strange feeling that something bad is going to happen, except its worse today.  I walk to the kitchen where I find Aunt Sophia had to go to work early.  I get some French toast and eat.  Just as I’m done Lucas pulls up.  “Hey riley” he says as I climb in “hello Lucas” the rest of the ride was quiet.  When we arrived at school Hazel, nick and of course Derek are waiting.

        “Hey guys” I say “hey Riley” Derek says “hey” says Hazel not even looking at me but staring dreamily at Derek. “Hey” says nick looking up from his phone for just a second.  I get into class and focus on what Megan is thinking why do all the hot guys follow around that bitch it’s like she’s some kind of siren I mean look at me! How could they ignore me?   I quickly walk past her without getting tripped, seems like a pretty good day so much for that bad feeling. 

        At lunch I start to our table but no one’s there what the hell I look around to find Lucas flirting with Megan, ouch that stings a little.  Hazel sitting, flashing her eyes, and pretty much trying to rip off her shirt for a football player, Nick talking to heather, Megan’s best friend, what the hell! They loathe the ‘popular crowd’!  I sit down squeeze my eyes shut hoping to god that I’m hallucinating but my spirit somehow broke even more when I realized that nope what I see is real.  “why?” says Derek scaring me to death as he sits down next to me doing the same thing I am wondering what the fuck is going on.  

        “Looks like everyone’s happy to be talking and getting along but me” I say “why aren’t you happy?” he asks “isn’t it obvious my friends left me for the popular crowd including my best friend!  And might I add that the ‘popular people’ or whatever people call those witches have never been nice to any of us!”  I say losing my temper “well I didn’t leave you” he says “unless I’m not your friend” he says looking like he may just fall over dead if I said he wasn’t.  I’m suppose to spy on him how can I deny the only way to be around him “you are but it’s not the same” I say “you mean without your boyfriend?” he asks but Lucas is not my boyfriend he’s my best friend how dare he! “no he’s not my boyfriend he’s my best friend!”  “Right then you wouldn’t mind me asking you on a date?”

         of course I’m not going to accept I mean I have to find out what’s happening with my friends why are they acting like this?  “No I will not go out with you!” I say kind of squeaky “why because your boyfriend is just taking a break from you?” he says also getting angry.  Lucas is my friend I don’t know what has gotten into him but he’s still my friend “Riley I’m the only one sticking around come on give me a chance” he says with pleading eyes.  Really pretty pleading eyes but not as pretty as Lucas’s gorgeous blue eyes, full lips, and amazing blond hair that I’ve grown so fond of.  But I do not like him it’s more of a brother sister relationship, I think?  But I don’t like Derek even as a friend I mean he’s nice and all but I have a bad feeling about him. 

        “No I can’t I’m not I’m the mood” I say not sure if I sounded serious “right not in the mood more like not over Lucas” he says I’m so annoyed right now I got up and started walking home hoping he will not follow me but he does.  He seriously can’t take a hint!  “hold up I’m sorry but please just try” he says sounding very serious “no!” I say not even look at him “please” he says with a bit of pain in his voice “no!” I says as he steps in front of me “hey let me pass!” I say trying to go around but he grabs my shoulders holding me in place “fine but you’ll come running to me” he says winks then leans in and kisses me it felt so good yet so wrong.  Why are all the amazing kisser people you are trying to spy on!  I need to work on this spying thing; James Bond is so ashamed of me right now!
