Chapter 4

Alex stared at Andrew as he drove the car. They were on their way to the high school prom in Andrew's Ferrari. Justin was in the back with Juliet, also hiding his wand.

The night was beautiful and the four arrived at the school. Justin led Juliet away from the car and went in. When he touched her hand, Juliet turned into ash. He gasped, looking at his hand. "She's fake?!! Ahh! The spell of the loved ones. Of course."

Alex and Andrew walked in, hand by hand, and waved at Justin. Andrew went to get drinks for them and walked away.

Justin took out his wand and made Alex punch Andrew right before he walked away. "Ow! Why did you punch me?"

Alex shrugged. "It must be a muscle spasm. Go get the drinks while I figure this out." She shooed him away and walked over to Justin. "What's wrong with me?"

Justin smiled, glancing over at Andrew. "I mixed things up between you and Andrew. When you punched him, it wasn't a muscle spasm. It was me who made you do that."

Alex grinned and pulled out her wand. "Good. Because I'm about to do the same thing to you. Grain on, chain on."

Everyone except Alex was wrapped up in chains. She quickly tried to remember the spell to take it off and gasped. Justin glared at her, shaking his head with disapproval.

"Look what you have done! You have put the the world of wizards at risk. They are now unleashed. Now, they don't have a leash, they have a broken one."

Andrew was covered in jelly and soda. He glared at Alex and shook his head. "I don't need this, you know. At least I am hot and not forgiving. I never want to see you again." He walked away, leaving Alex in tears.

Justin sighed and said, "Let's go home. There's enough damage here than ever." He waved to the people staring at them. "This was all a illusion. A mind trick. One of the dance's most famous things. Cool, huh? Go back to dancing."

Alex and Justin teleported home behind the school. Alex went up to cry in her room and Justin sighed. "Alex, I didn't mean to do that. I'm sorry."

Jerry and Theresa ran over to Justin with a camera. "Where's Alex's date? We wanted to save this special moment."

Justin shook his head and started to walk away. "Her date dumped her. And it's all because it's my fault. Don't bother trying to track him. He's gone."

Jerry walked upstairs to Justin and tried to assure him everything was going to be okay. "Come on, you didn't mean to trick her. Foul play."

Justin looked at his dad and shook his head. "I did it only because Andrew tricked me. Juliet was just a replica, not her."

The two sat there, talking about matters that are unknown to the world.

Theresa went to comfort Alex, but Alex had locked the door. "Alex, Justin feels bad hurting you but that doesn't mean you can lock your own mother out. Heh." She knocked and frowned. "Come on, open the door for me."

1 week later.....

The Russo family stood outside Alex's door, begging her to come out. Theresa groaned and kicked the door open.

Jerry held his finger up. "That's why you don't want to mess with your mother. It gets nasty and vicious and you get yelled at."

Alex was texting Harper when Theresa kicked the door in. "Mom, why did you kick my door open? Don't you know this entire area is my bubble. My own personal space."

Justin groaned. "She was faking it. Of course. Let's just get out of here."

Alex shook her head. "You owe someone a apology."

Justin grunted. "I gave you 10 apologies and you want one more? Fine. I'm sorry for hurting your feelings. I'm also sorry you nearly put the wizards in trouble."

Alex walked over to her family. "That's close enough." She hugged them.
