It had been an year since Chase disappeared.The Ipswich boys were in their final year of high school and life was back on its mundane track. Sarah and Caleb had broken up six months ago while Kate and Pogue were still going strong. Reid was back to his whoring self and Tyler was still by his side as his wingman. Time was passing slowly in Spencer high and Caleb hoped it would go on at the same pace, as he had been through enough excitement in the past one year.
It was yet another normal day in Spencer high. Mr Tucker, their english teacher, was droning about some dead poet from centuries ago.
Reid was busy texting a chick he met at Nicky's, sitting besides Reid, Tyler was being his attentive self, jotting down every single word he could catch amongst the constant bustle from their classmate. Pogue was lost in his own world while making gooey eyes with Kate and Caleb, the golden boy, was trying his best not to fall asleep, as he had drunk too much last night, after he saw his ex-girlfriend Sarah Wenham, snogging some jock from basketball team.
Did he still like Sarah? Maybe not, but she was the first girl he ever dated. They might not be together now but a brief part of his past would always belong to her and there was the secret that she bore which kept him on the edge. Although he had tried his best to erase all her memories related to their witchy inheritence, but he was not sure if the spells he had tried on her had actually work. He had been trying to avoid any such situation which could trigger Sarah's memory and could expose them to the whole world. So he had been keeping his distance, watching Sarah from afar as she dated the most dumbest jocks in the school while he drank himself to drown the misery of his broken heart.
His headache was getting worse with each passing second and he was itching to use his power to get some relief. Just when he was about to givein to the temptation of a quick fixture, there was a loud bang as the door to the classroom hit the wall opposite.
This got his attention like everyone else, and he turned his head towards the source of commotion and there standing in the middle of the enterance, was a new girl as beautiful as a nymph from the fairy tales with eyes so green like the deepest forests of Amazon, skin so white like snow covered Alps and lips so red like an Italian wine.
Just like all other hormone driven male population in the vicinity, Caleb's thoughts began to wonder on not so innocent grounds and his headache became unbearable.
So without having another thought, he let the power surge through his body until he felt the slightest tingle in his finger and his headache was gone.
Freed from the hangover, as he turned his head to get back to the new found curiosity, he felt the wind knocked out of his lungs and his pulse began to quicken. Those pools of forest green were staring right at him and he felt naked to his core. It was only for few seconds but he felt he could reveal his deepest darkest secrets to this new stranger.
