“Where do we look first?” Jasmine said. “Where is a place with many books?” I said, somewhat sarcastically. “The library.” Angie said. “Yeah, we should check there...” Jasmine said.

“Um... did you say you were going to the library?” Zack said, nervously. “Yeah, why?” I said. “If there's someone who really knows the library, it's me.” Zack said.

Nope, it's Nora who really knows the library. But well... I guess Zack and Nora switched. “I have to return this book anyway.” he added, showing us a thick book. Fck. Finished already?

“Um... can you help us find a spellbook?” Angie said. “Sure.” Zack said with a genuine smile.

I switched on the power for the library, since I was the tall one who could reach it.

“I don't think spellbooks are usually found here, what genre do you think a spellbook is in?” Zack said, putting his book back on the counter although there was no sign of a librarian.

We just shrugged in response. “Why are you looking for it anyway?” Zack asked, just like Detective Nora used to. The Zack I know has no care in the world.

“It's a test... for us.” Jasmine said. “For the three of you? Oh well, good luck.” Zack said. “Yeah, fcking unfair, right?” I said.

“I don't know. But it's also not fair that you three don't get to switch personalities.” Zack said. Yeah, he's right. I'll fcking die if I get to be someone I don't like.

“How does it feel, Zack? I mean, having Nora's personality?” Jasmine said. “I don't know. I'll find out when I'm back to being me.” Zack said. “As if you would tell us then...” Angie said.

“Let's try in the 'fairytale' whatever genre.” I said. “Here...” Zack said, leading us to shelves with lots of books. “Fairytales are magical like this situation, so maybe you should try out some books here...” Zack said.

“How about this? The Enchanted Book of Spells.” Angie said, reading a cover of a blue book. “The witch said it's brown.” I said. “Right.” Angie said, disappointed.

“What about this? Granny Lala's Book of Wonders.” Jasmine said. “What a catchy title.” I mumbled, sarcastically. “It's brown.” Zack said.

“It's worth a try.” Angie said, opening the book.

“Dmn. It's just a series of fairytales.” I said. “That was a good try.” Jasmine said. “How bout this?” I said, pointing at a brown book with no title. “That should be it...” Angie said.

We scanned the first pages of book. It was handwritten and it contained nothing but rhyming phrases of... Spells!

“That was fast...” Zack said. “Hurry, let's find the right spell in the classroom...” Angie said.

For some weird reason... I'm craving... for... big... red... juicy... APPLES. I need one right now! It has to be the best apple in the world.

Strange. I'm never really fan of apples... or any type of fruit or vegetable. — Crap, I switched with Aryel.
