The Witches

Chapter 11: Tickets

I took the tickets and looked over at Karan who got dressed again. If I knew we'd fuck again I'd

probably not get dressed in the first place.

I greeted him and helped myself out of their huge home. One can tell that they've just moved in

because there are unpacked boxes in every room that I've passed. This looks like it will be a very

lovely home once they settle in.

I hailed an orb. A pixie picked me up and dropped me off at the front yard of the school. The school day

has ended so many teens were hurrying home, I waited on Marisa to show her the tickets. I told her to

wait for me because I have something that I want to show her.

I was so excited it felt like I could burst. I took the tickets out of my bag to look at it again. They are so

beautiful. Black tickets and the writing looks like real blood. I heard someone gasp as I looked at the

tickets and coming my way was Jessica. She was with a friend of hers.

"Oh my god. Bethany, are those tickets to the Horror Ball?"

I grinned and she squeaked. "Get out of here. I'm going too,"

"That's lovely,"

She sighed and looked at me with puppy eyes, "not really. My friend, Mel here couldn't get any tickets

and they're sold out already,"

"Dang, that's unfortunate,"

I replied. She nodded her head and placed her hand on my shoulder. "I know. You probably wouldn't

but could we have one of yours? I'd make sure that you make the team and we can hang out at the

ball?"

She pleaded with those big brown puppy eyes and it cut deep into my soul. I wanted to help her,

wanted to hang with her and wanted to make the team so badly. I sighed and gave her a small smile.

Going with her would mean I get into the team I've always wanted to be in and on the other hand,

Marisa can't offer me anything and at times you have to put yourself first.

"Sure."

I handed her the extra ticket and she squeaked. She reached out, her fingers holding onto the end

while I'm holding onto my end but then I realised something. Wouldn't it be a bitch move if I give Jess

these tickets? Like whether Marisa comes with or not, I don't care. But I do care about my image and

how the world perceives me. So I held it tighter, "on second thoughts," I pulled the ticket back. They

slipped out of her fingers, a frown now replaced her fake smile.

Sometimes you got to put yourself first and my image must be squeaky clean. "I promised these to my

friend," it is also very important that my ally can trust me, so when this topic makes it to her ears she

should know that I had her back.

This isn't about my friend. It's about me, and potentially about anything else Jessica can offer me.

"What do you mean? I'm Jessica, hand them over you freak!"

I grinned. "Noooopppppeeeee," I stretched not only the word out but my lips as well. Which only

seemed to piss her off more.

She just stood there with her furrowed brows, her eyes burning lasers on my forehead. If I didn't know

any better, I would say she was currently sending her soul to perform some kind of spell silently. But I

couldn't see if it was so or not.

"You don't want to make me your enemy. Trust me, missy. There's a reason why I'm at the top of the

social ladder,"

I chuckled. "Are you threatening me?"

She folded her arms and looked over her shoulder at her friend. "I don't know, you tell me. Am I?"

I took a step back. I have no idea why she's on top of the social ladder and I don't want to know either

but I wasn't going to let her know that. "I'm Bethany, princess of fire," the words fell out of my mouth

softly which caused her to bellow. Something changed inside me, I know myself well enough to know

that it feels like my core was shaken. I felt less than Jessica. How could I step to Jessica? What was I

thinking?

I am not one that cries very easily but I suddenly felt the need to break into tears and grab Jessica so

that she can comfort me. I snickered and gave her the ticket, her face lit up as she took it.

"I'll see you at the ball," she told and gave her friend the normal ticket and took mine, the VIP one for

herself. She strutted off in brilliance. Flipped her hair and looked over her shoulder to give me a wink

and a tiny wave.

I should be happy. I'm was going to make the team. Or am I? I have no idea what just happened, I don't

know where I'm standing with Jessica and it only meant that I had to take measures into my own hands

and make sure that I make the team. I didn't give my ticket away for nothing.

Marisa came my way and looked me in surprise. She giggled. "What are you wearing?"

I shrugged. "My clothes burned," I finally dared to flash a smile.

She nodded her head and scratched her chin. "I knew you were the cause of that fire,"

I smirked and gave her a wink. "His name is Karan and he's a real-life warlock. Isn't that amazing?"

She nodded her head. "I've never met a warlock before. Anyway, what did you want to show me?"

It was going to be the tickets. But I only have one left. I was conned I believe, how is that possible. I

had to think quickly and come up with something. "My outfit. It's Karan's," I drooled, "his sex is

amazing,"

She chuckled. "I don't like this look on you though. It's too boyish, people will think you're gay. I can't be

associated with queers, people will think I'm that way too. Ew,"

I folded my arms and looked at her. "There ain't nothing wrong with being gay,"

She grunted. " They look slobbish,"

"He asked me to go with him to The Horror Ball,"

She went silent. We were supposed to go, I can tell that's what she's thinking. "What did you say?"

"I told him I'm going with you. He'd have to excuse me,"

She gave me a small smile, "go. We can't both not go,"

I was hoping she'd say this because I don't know what I would do if she was like, 'no, sisters first,' like

could you imagine that bitter crap? But still, I had to at least let her know that she's my number one.

"But Marisa... I don't wanna go without you,"

"It's fine. It's not like you broke your promise. He asked you, not us,"

Her nose and cheeks turned red. A clear sign that she was very upset. She tried hiding it by putting up

a fake smile but her cheeks were always a dead give away, "are you sure you're fine?"

She nodded her head. "There's always next year," Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

I gave her a small smile and pulled her in for a hug. I was going to The Horror Ball and it will be great.

It's a shame that she can't come. "Anyway. I have to go. I'll see you tomorrow, okay?"

She nodded her head and waved me off. I went home where I could barely get Karan out of my mind.

He was so cute. His hair is so beautiful and so shiny and his sun-kissed natural tan was sexy. I'm an

olive girl and has always liked brown people as a brown girl and he seems to be all kinds of fun.

I had another out of body experience that night. I have one every night. Tonight's main mission was to

go over to Ms Janis to bind her and feed her and Jessica the love spell, I want them hooked on me as

much as possible.

But first I went to a friend of a friend's, Vincent. His body was asleep and so was his soul, I loved it like

that so I could do my thing without any hassle. I transferred my STIs to him by putting it on his face.

This will be funny when I see him tomorrow at school, can't wait to see it.

He never woke up, souls always sleep so tightly. So this was the perfect opportunity to have sex with

him.

***

Ms Janis lives in Meledsan so I had to go there and find her home and once I did I bound her soul and

fed her the potion. I did the same with Jessica. I entered her room, she and her body were both asleep.

So I walked up to her bed and noticed that there was a book on her dresser. 'Franz Unfinished Spells,'

that's weird. I've never heard of that book in my life and if I'm not mistaken Franz is a historical figure

but I don't know much about him and his friends. Known as The Mayhems.

I shook my head and did what I came for, I bounded her and gave her the potion. I was making that

team, no matter what.

I wasn't quite done with Jessica. She is so popular and I want her popularity so I took it. It was a pink

aura, I took it and made it mine. Now I'll be as likeable as her. For some reason, people don't like me

much and I have no idea why. I can't say that I don't care, because I do and I'd do anything to make

them like me. Even if I have to steal it from someone.

I can't believe that things are working out so well for me. I'm going to The Horror Ball and making the

team and the best part is that I'll be hanging out with The Jessica. That's exciting. Also weird.

Something within me begged me to wake up and see the picture clearer. But what picture am I looking

at? Where do I begin?
