Ring
  The school bell rings and teens swarm the hallways like a flood. Melanie making her way towards her locker to unlock and wait on her friend Serina to get out of Precalculus. Her locker getting stuffed with all the work books and random doodled papers.

Serina came running down, jumping on her best friends back, making Melanie almost lose her balance.

' Devil beware~ '
Serina's  voice was low and shaky to add a small creepy effect into her voice.

"Serina, come on... Don't say that out loud-"

' What, I thought you were proud to be a wiccan? '

Melanie just rolled her eyes and closed her locker, turning to her curly haired friend. Pulling her bag back on her shoulders, she smiled a bit awkwardly, and Serina of course caught it.
' What-? '

"Mason is out with your sister, so. I may have invited Rebecca-"

Serina looked at her friend with raised brows and took her arm into her own.
' Mel, Mel-Bell... You know I love you, and I'd do anything for you, but... Rebecca? '

Melanie just shrugged, looking up and saw Rebecca and smiled, waving at her, and she of course waved back.
"She has a car, and... We do need three people-"

Serina thought about it for a solid chunk of time before shed give a sigh,
' And theres no one else available...'
Melanie shook her head over at her best friend. 
' Fine, but make sure she wont be all weird about it. Okay? '

"Well, she's into it... I told her about it and, yknow... She was like you, all happy, excited and "HELL YEAH!" Just like you are-"

' and shes taking us to her house? this better not turn into some girl next door type-thing. '
  serina was skeptical but only because of her lack of knowledge on the girl.

"Um well, she doesn't really want us going to her house because her mother is getting her sisters ready for a pageant  competi- Oh Hey, Rebecca!"
Rebecca smiled and fixed her belly button ring that was showing.

' Hey. So, your house right? '

"Yeah... Of course..."
Rebecca was a senior, Melanie only knew her because she was friends with Mason, and Rebecca took a liking to Melanie.

Mason and Rebecca were in pre-K together and got very close. Adika got sent to a different pre-K for one year, and while he was at that one, Mason and Rebecca had become friends. They grew up together, Adika not really being a fan of the girl who had a major crush on her crush. Mason just stuck having two best girl friends and being a big proud gay. Rebecca would spend time at their house, getting to know Melanie and that's how they because what some people would consider "friends" for Rebecca. But "acquaintances" towards Melanie's head.

Serina, being the youngest there,  felt currently underminded. She looked at Rebecca and plastered a smile until they would be introduced to each other.

Mel looked at Serina then at Rebecca and smiled.
"Oh yeah, this is my best friend. "

' Serina, yeah. I know. She dated my ex boyfriend Sunny. Glad to see we both have gross taste in men... But, it's nice to finally meet ya- '

' its nice to meet you too. . . '
Rina just laughed lightly at the small comment about their tastes in men, she didn't know whether to be happy or feel sorry for eachother.

Rebecca pulled out her car keys and dangled them in front of the girls, then gripped them in her hand.
' Alright, pay up before the ride- '

Melanie huffed and looked back at Serina, then to Rebecca.
"It's, at my house..."

' Alright, fine... Come on kiddos- '
Rebecca started to walk off and Melanie of course smiled a bit awkwardly at Serina.

Serina raised her brows as they walked, she looks to Melanie with a displeased look. She then mouths to her friend ,
' that was a great conversation starter.. '

Melanie shrugged and looked up at Rebecca, she had a nice hummer that was shiny and white. Of course her daddy got it for her, her daddy that was never ever around. She looked back at Serina and smiled a bit. Rebecca getting in her car and started it, Melanie getting in the back seat.

Serina got in the back with Melanie, plugging one of her ears with an earbud before shed rest her head on the window. Melanie doing the same as they drove down. The whole ride there was quiet.

When they made it to Melanie's house, Mel unbuckled, getting out when the car stopped and Rebecca followed behind. Once they were inside Serina made herelf at home as she usually would, she trots up the stairs to put her bag away.

Melanie of course just ran up the stairs to her bedroom, ignoring her passed out mother on the couch. Rebecca slowly following and peaked a small look at Mel's mom, who had empty bottles of booze on the side table. Rebecca then scrunched her nose and went to Melanie's room and huffed.

Serina took off her windbreaker and set it aside before walking to the bathroom and opening the medicine cabinet to take "her" pills. She then joined the two girls,  
  ' So! What to do.. What to do.. I wanted to play midnight man first but- if anyone has ideas you can throw them out there- '

Melanie just threw her bag on the ground and went to her closet to go through her games. Rebecca sitting on her bed.
' I'm  honestly ready to smoke... That's what you promised- '

Melanie pulled out a small chest and turned to face them with a smirk, walking over and laid it on the bed. The box was wooden with a red star of David on it with symbols inside each triangle of the star.

' Mellie will you please roll a blunt... Joints give me scooby snacks- '
Serina plops on the bed and rolls on her stomach to face Melanie.

Mel just crossed her arms and rolled her eyes, going back to the closet to grab a bag that had some already wrapped.
"I knew I wouldn't feel like wrapping so I did it this morning. Now open up that box and lets talk to the devil-"

Rebecca opened the box and pulled out the Ouija Board.
' I mean, I don't know dude. Is this safe? '

Serina smiled all giddy before she sat up and grabbed her lighter, she then sat next to Rebecca around the board.
  ' This should be a trip. '

Rebecca also grabbed her a small rolled one and lit it up, Melanie joining them and took a long drag from hers.
"The weed will help our minds and bodies open up to whatever, so we're light as a feather..."

Serina lit her own because she tended to have a problem with passing and sharing. And that's when the fun began.
