"Miss Brooks, you have been in this office three times this week," said the principal, as she gave me her usual, "It's not right to spy on conversations and try to video tape it for your blog."
"I was just trying to find a good story. Nothing around here is interesting any more."
"Maybe you just need to try harder, but not in a way that invades other people's privacy. Aren't you the top of your class in Choir?" she asked.
"Yeah, but I've already done stuff for that," I said.
"Well, I will give you a warning for now, but any more and you are suspended," she said, "You may go now."
I gave her a nod, grabbed my bag and walked out. It was almost the end of the day and I only had one more class to go. I went to my locker and looked in the mirror it had attached to it. A girl with black glasses, brown hair with blond highlights, and green eyes looked back at me. I took down the picture of me and my ex-boyfriend Adrian; we broke up last month, but I kept forgetting to take it down. I threw it in the trash. My eyes for some reason seemed like they glowed for a few seconds, but then it went away. I guess I was seeing things. I shut my locker and left it.
I walked out of the school building and saw what looked like a purple tornado and a girl with purple hair riding a bike with a monster. I watched as they landed in the middle of the street. The tornado took the form of a man wearing a purple wizard robe and hat. Okay, now this is definitely something worth blogging about. I hid in an alleyway and took out my iPhone and hit the video camera.
"Oh, this is going to be good," I said.
"So what are we doing here, Uncle No Heart?" asked the girl.
"It's simple, Shrieky. We are going to cause enough uncaring here to get the Care Bears to come here so we can destroy them," said No Heart.
I wondered if I should step out and do something, but what? I mean, I'm no match for a wizard. I'm just a 15 year old girl. I do, however, have this on tape. Maybe I could show it to someone.
I could see shadows that the wizard seemed to create turning people uncaring, and one even started to head for me. For some reason, it backed away from me like it was scared. I saw it go over to No Heart and say something to him.
"You say something scared you?" asked No Heart, "Ah, yes, I do sense someone here."
"What do you mean, boss?" asked the monster thing.
"It's quite simple, Beastly. The shadow has told me there is a teenage girl spying on us."
"We should find her, Uncle No Heart. We can use her as bait for the Care Bears," said Shrieky.
Oh man, I blew it big time now. I knew I had to get out of there. I turned to leave, but before I could, shadows surrounded me and so did the girl and the fuzzy monster thing. Before I knew it, so did the wizard guy.
"Oh, you really didn't pick the best place to hide did you, my dear?" said No Heart.
I got a look at his face. The only thing I could see were his eyes, and they were creepy, glowing red. His voice was even creepier, kind of like how you would describe Voldemort from the Harry Potter series, and I could see his hands. They were blue. No Heart seemed to realize I was staring at him.
"What are you staring at?" No Heart demanded.
"Nothing," I told him, "Look, I'm just looking for a story for my blog."
"Listen, girl. I don't know what this 'blog' thing is that you are talking about, but I will not give you the chance to use it on me," said No Heart.
As he raised his arms above his head, red sparks of magic began to form.
"No, a blog is where you write about stuff," I said.
"Oh, that doesn't matter to me, child," he said, putting down his arms and stopping his magic, "Change of plans. She's of no threat to us. Shrieky, Beastly, lets go."
No Heart turned to me, "I will spare you this time, Page. You are lucky," he turned away.
I asked, "How did you know my name?"
But they were gone.
