Not So Wicked

Chapter 5

Max's Pov

"Poor Thackery Binx, neither his father, his mother nor anyone else ever knew what became of him those three hundred years ago" Miss Olin said as I continued to draw

"And so the Sanderson sisters were hanged, by the Salem townfolk,now there are those who say that on Halloween night a black cat still guards the old Sanderson house warning off any who might make the witches come back to life" Miss Olin said scaring a student

"Gimme a break" I said

"We seem to have a skeptic in our midst Mr. Dennison would you care to share your California laid back, tie-dyed point of view?" Miss Olin said

"Okay granted that you guys here in Salem are all into black cats and witches and stuff" I said

"Stuff?" Miss Olin said

"Fine but everyone here knows that Halloween is just invented by the candy companies, it's a conspiracy" I said

"It just so happens that on Halloween is based on the ancient feast called All Hallows' Eve, It's the one night of the year where the spirits of the dead can return to earth" said Allison while the whole class cheers

"Well said Allison" Miss Olin said

"Well in case Jimi Hendrix shows up tonight here's my number" I said to Allison giving her my number

"Max fat chance" a guy in my class said

I got on my bike and tried to catch up with Allison

"Allison" I said

"Hi" she said

"Look I didn't mean to embarrass you in front of the class" I told her

"You didn't" she said

"My name is Max Dennison" I said

"Yeah I know you just moved here huh" Allison said

"Yeah last week"

"Must be a big change for you"

"Yeah that's for sure"

"You don't like it here?"

"The leaves are great but, I don't know just all this Halloween stuff"

"You don't believe in it"

"You mean like the Sanderson sisters? No way

"Not even on Halloween"

"Especially not on Halloween"

"Trick or Treat" Allison said giving me a note I opened it and it had my number on it.
