The Hidden Warrior

Chapter 9- Claire's Wrath

"Awesome! Welcome to drama club," Mia replied, smiling widely. Ivy had to admit - the drama room looked fantastic. The floor was made of beautiful oak, while a massive stage was on the right side of the room. Everywhere Ivy looked, she saw students rehearsing lines, painting props and designing costumes. For the first time ever, Ivy didn't feel sick and nervous around so many people, she felt somewhat at home.
  Seconds later, that mood was disrupted by Claire and her two best friends, Bella and Katie (a.k.a her minions) walking  towards Ivy. A shiver ran down Ivy's spine.
"What in the world are you doing here?" Bella questioned, looking at Ivy in utter disgust.
" Shut up, Bella. I didn't tell you to speak, but really what is this dweeb doing here. All the roles are taken. By the way, I am Juliet, so I get to kiss Chandler," Claire declared, shoving the cast list in Ivy's face.
Romeo and Juliet Play Cast List
Juliet- Claire Dubine
Romeo- Chandler Rese
Mercutio - Lane Jackson
Juliet's Nurse- Bella Ment

   Ivy's eyes widened- Claire was Juliet and Chandler was Romeo! Ivy's stomach churned while her head began to spin. This could not be real.
  " Guys, cut it out. Glad you're here, Ivy," an unexpected voice remarked. To Ivy's surprise, it was Chandler. Once again, Ivy's heart fluttered and her palms became sweaty when she saw Chandler's movie star smile.
   " Whatever," Claire snorted, as she and her minions turned around and walked away. One small loss for Claire, but one major victory for Ivy.

Ivy's house (after school)

   Smiling, Ivy recalled the incident in drama club for the one millionth time as she lay down on her canopy bed. After Chandler had defended Ivy in drama club, she felt like she  was floating on a cloud. Yes, she was the same Ivy with social anxiety, but no one had ever done that for her before.
" Ugh, I forgot that I have a big history quiz at school on Monday.My first quiz at real school," Ivy remarked, as she slid of her bed and her grabbed her maroon coloured( English Spelling) backpack. Luckily, history was Ivy's best subject, so she did not have to study much.
All of a sudden, Ivan appeared in front of her. Ivy screamed and jumped on top her bed.
" What are you doing in my house and why are you here," Ivy whispered, so her parents would not hear her.
" Chill, it's just me. Your buddy, Ivan. Elistron lent me one of the SMS' transport devices, so I could come here to tell you something really important. Apparently, Elistron has to attend to the SMS' orders, but I know he's just eating pasta in the chamber," Ivan responded, showing Ivy a blue crystal, which was surprisingly a transport device.
" Ok, you kind of scared me. So, well what's the news?" Ivy asked, motioning for Ivan to sit in one of her purple beanbags.
" Ooh, this seat is so comfy!" Ivan exclaimed as he bounced in the seat. Ivy rolled her eyes.
" Just get to the point," Ivy stated.
" No need to be so harsh, buggy. Well, the SMS got an alert saying that Callagarn is making his first move on the school in the next two weeks , so we have to have three training sessions on Tuesday, Thursday and Friday next week," Ivan replied.
" First, don't call me buggy and we are having three training sessions next week. I am not prepared for Callagarn as yet! This is too much," Ivy responded, breathing heavily.
" Buggy, you'll be great. Just chill, ok. Well, I've got to go," Ivy remarked as he rubbed the crystal in his hands. In the blink of an eye, Ivan was gone.

Monday ( school)

" So, how was your weekend?" Mia, Anasofia, Thalia and Victoria all asked in union as they walked towards Ivy with their lunch bags in hand. Ivy was eating lunch in the library by herself while she listened to music on her phone.
" Um, what are you guys doing here?" Ivy asked, extremely shocked.
" We want to come to eat lunch with you. Thalia, Anasofia, Victoria and I are actually best friends, and we really want to be your friend as well. We are also in eighth grade, just in a different class.We asked the lunch room monitor where you would be and she said here," Mia responded cheerfully. This was unbelievable - people wanted to be her friends! Ivy was so shocked and nervous that she dropped the burrito she was eating on the floor.
" Well, uh," Ivy started, but she was cut off by the bell.
" Ugh, it's the end of lunch! Well, see you later. Good luck in the history test," Thalia remaked. Waving, the girls left the room.

Claire (after school)

Claire snarled as she watched Ivy talk to Chandler with a smile on her face. School had just ended and Claire had heard Chandler ask Ivy how the test had been. Ivy had responded shyly by saying it was pretty good.
" That's it. I'm not going to let this Ivy chick steal Chandler. Katie, hold my bag. I have some important business to attend to," Claire instructed.
Finally, Claire had reached Mrs. Hellin's ,her history teacher, classroom. Claire peeped her head in the class and saw that Mrs. Hellin was grading today's tests. Her parents had always said to never use magic where people could see, but this was the right time. Plus, she could just use a losing memory spell , so Mrs. Hellin will forget everything.
" What you see, you will forget," Claire chanted as she placed her hands on Mrs. Hellin's forehead. Suddenly, Mrs. Hellin froze.
Excitedly, Claire searched through the tests until she found Ivy's.
" Writing poof," Claire whispered, making all the answers Ivy had written on her test disappear. Quickly, Claire reversed the spell on Mrs. Hellin and ran out of the classroom. Claire smiled. Ivy had gotten what she deserved, payback.
