CHAPTER 2

Thanks for everybody that subscribed and added a review, you literally made my day. I still do not own hex hall, no matter how badly I want Archer. Hope you like it, please review.

I leaned on the railing as I spied on Sophie and her mom; they were looking around the massive foyer, or as I liked to call it 'the lobby to hell', while Mrs. Casnoff droned on about Prodigium history, about how all of us came to be on this great and magnificent Earth. I sighed, honestly I wasn't really paying attention, and all I heard was, 'blah blah blah,' something about warlocks, which would be me, and something else about an intermingle between human and witches.

Honestly, when I was assigned to this mission I didn't think I have to sit through one more of Mrs. Casnoff's 'Great Lecture about all of us super beings,' even though I'm sure she lives for them. She probably sits in her office; with pictures of all her cats, and maybe even some stuffed cats, writing about how to torture all of her students with old speeches and crap. I shrugged, what can i say, she seemed like a cat lady.

I tuned in when I heard Soph speak up, "Good luck explaining to God that you used to spank one of his heavenly beings." I bite my lip to keep from laughing, because an invisibility spell wouldn't be all that useful if they could hear me, so I kept quiet.

"Sophie!" her mom said, laughing.

"What? You did. I hope you like hot weather, mom, that's all I'm saying." Her mom laughed again, even though I was pretty sure she was trying to hold it in for Mrs. Casnoff's sake.

Mrs. Casnoff cleared her throat, and I had a feeling another lecture and more history of the great Hecate hall was coming, so I slipped away and dropped the invisibility spell.

I just rounded the corner, when I saw Elodie, who had her Barbie doll gang on each side of her. Elodie was also a part of my cover, ever since Holly had died; The Eye had suspected that Elodie and her group raised a demon.

I wasn't so sure; all I have heard them talk about was shoes, clothes and doing their nails in various colors and patterns. All I thought they were capable of doing was conjuring up shoes and clothes that they probably didn't even need. I mean honestly, there should be a law or something against having excessive amounts of clothing and shoes.

"Hey Arch!" Elodie screeched, I tried, unsuccessfully, not to flinch. Yah, Elodie was beautiful. Her red, firey hair was perfectly styled almost to a point to where it annoyed me. Weird, I know. I kind of missed Sophie and her wild curly hair, I much prefer that instead of Elodie's. She was kind of annoying, and had no personality beyond girly unnecessary, stupid things. But Sophie seemed to be like her hair, wild but cute and unpredictable.

I shook my head. I needed to stop; I only known the girl for an hour and I can't get her out of my head, I sighed. Besides, when did Archer Cross even start caring about girls' hair styles? And when did I even start referring to myself in the third-person?

Elodie came bounding toward me like a perfectly groomed tiger; her gal pal's tried following in suite. I wasn't a big fan of Anna or Chaston, they literally lived and breathed Elodie. What she did, what she wore and who to make fun of.

Usually it was Jenna, the unfortunate vampire, stuck here till the council decided what to do with her. I knew she knew it too, that she was probably going to get staked by the end of this, and I kind of felt bad for her.

I ran my hands through my hair and was getting ready to say goodbye and go take a nap, but then Chaston spoke up.

"Did you see the new girl?"

Elodie wrapped her arm around my waist, and smirked, "No, I didn't. Too bad I couldn't have the honors in giving her a warm welcome to Hex Hall."

I rolled my eyes, sure a warm welcome which probably involved a lot of threatening and hair flipping.

Anna laughed, "Well you should've seen her hair, it was like this big," she held her hands next to her hair and spread them out like, a foot. I rolled my eyes again, Anna and Chaston also exaggerated… a lot. Her hair wasn't that big or puffy, it was just super curly.

And now it was time for a nap before dinner. I figured Soph will be just unpacking and saying goodbye to her mom. So nothing interesting to spy there except maybe a lot of tears and hugging, nothing I needed to report except that girls are way more emotional than people think.

I said goodbye and gave Elodie a peck on the cheek before bounding up to my room, my head hit the pillow and I was out like a light.
