After the dance, it was a big day of magic class for Sabrina, Atticus, Cherry, Mo, and Penelope as they came into the magic classroom. Cassandra really seemed to be on top of the lessons today and was answering every question and getting them all right, putting the others into shame.

'How is she getting all the questions right?' Atticus thought to himself.

"Could someone tell me the ninth spell of Transmorgification?" Mr. Snipe then asked.

"Ooh! Ooh!" Sabrina stood up and waved her arms before reciting a spell. "Toxicodendron!"

Suddenly, there were spikes and plants surrounding the room which was very overwhelming.

"That, Sabrina, would be Latin for poison ivy." Mr. Snipe corrected as he waved his wand and made the plants disappear.

"Mr. Snipe, there is no ninth spell for Transmorgification," Cassandra replied. "There are only eight."

Mr. Snipe nodded, telling her that she was correct yet again. Cassandra smirked darkly to her classmates.

"Tomorrow, we begin the Fall Fundraiser," Mr. Snipe then informed as he drew a piggy bank on the chalkboard behind him. "And it's a great opportunity to go out there and do your best."

"Yes, sir." Atticus smiled.

"Fundraisers is when a school has you sell something to raise money for the school, right?" Mo asked.

"That's right, Monique," Mr. Snipe replied. "I don't believe your former school that your foster family enrolled you in had such a thing."

"No, we didn't, but I've always wanted to do one." Mo actually sounded excited as she collected her textbooks.

"We'll each do our part for the fundraiser." Penelope said, doing the same thing.

"Now, Penelope, I highly suggest you don't ask for your father's help," Mr. Snipe called to her in specific. "It's not fair if your father makes everybody buy whatever you're selling in the Netherworld."

"Aw, Mr. Snipe..." Penelope groaned.

"Mr. Snipe is right, we have to be fair." Mo said.

Penelope pouted, but walked out with them as it was now time for their other classes.

"And since we already know who's best," Cassandra smirked to them. "I suggest you all just quit while I'm ahead."

"Oh, go eat an ant sandwich, Cassandra..." Cherry grunted.

"Yeah, because we still have a chance doing better than you." Atticus said.

"As if." Cassandra flipped her hair.

Sabrina actually looked like she doubted herself with Cassandra's taunting today.

"Don't let her get to you, Sabrina." Atticus said.


They were now in Mr. Snipe's science class.

"Who can tell me the ninth planet from the sun?" Mr. Snipe asked the students.

"There is no ninth planet, Mr. Snipe," Sabrina answered, trying to do what Cassandra did in magic class earlier. "There are only eight."

This made everybody except for Cherry, Atticus, Mo, and Penelope laugh at her.

Before Cassandra could raise her hand and answer, Atticus beat her to it.

"The ninth planet from the sun is Pluto, which is actually a dwarf planet since it doesn't have the final requirement as all the other planets do." Atticus answered.

"Very good, Atticus." Mr. Snipe was very won over by that answer.

Atticus smiled at his accomplishment and then smirked at Cassandra, happy that he got to out do her in that class. Cassandra huffed and folded her arms.

"You should've had that one, Cassandra, you are the best." Tiffany commented.

"Like, I always lose count after six." Margo added.

The bell then rang, telling them all that class was over. Mr. Snipe then reminded them of the upcoming Fall Fundraiser before they were officially out. Sabrina still sat in her seat, looking rather miserable about being bested by Cassandra, even if Atticus beat the evil witchling this time.


Eventually, they were now all outside and on their way home from school. Cassandra teleported outside and caught up with them.

"Don't let Cassandra get to you, no matter what." Atticus said to the blonde witchling.

"She's right though..." Sabrina said. "My life is so unfair..."

"Yeah, it actually is." Penelope said.

"You're not helping!" Mo glared.

"Sorry..." Penelope smiled sheepishly.

"Sabrina, you just have to stay positive and not let what anyone say negative get to you." Atticus said.

"Yeah, even I've been more positive lately..." Cherry said, she had been more perky in her title than a gloomy goth all of the time.

"It's true." Atticus said.

"I don't know..." Sabrina pouted.

"Come on, Sabrina, you'll never get better with an attitude like that." Mo said.

"Hey, guys," Cassandra came behind them.

The others glanced to her and did their best to ignore her.

"You okay, Sabrina?" Cassandra asked the blonde witchling.

"Yeah, sure," Sabrina glared to her slightly. "Why not?"

"Yeah." Penelope added.

"I just wanted to say you shouldn't feel bad about back there..." Cassandra said. "If you're feeling bad, you don't."

"I don't?" Sabrina asked.

"You just gotta change your outlook." Cassandra advised.

"Are you actually giving advice, Cassandra?" Mo asked.

"Why of course I am," Cassandra replied coolly. "Sabrina just needs to learn there are two different people in this world. There's winners, and there's her. There's the best... And then there's her."

"That's not advice, you're just putting her down." Atticus said, metaphorically.

"I didn't say it'd help," Cassandra smirked. "Not to mention, there's me and then there's her..."

Sabrina felt even worse now.

"That girl is just unbelievable." Mo said.


They went to Sabrina's house and met in her bedroom to finish up any homework and talk about their days.

"Life is so unfair!" Sabrina complained.

"Tell me about it." Salem said while finishing off a bag of chips.

"Really?" Patch asked the cursed warlock.

"Aw, come on," Salem defended himself. "There's only like three chips in here!"

"SALEM!" Sabrina shrieked in misery.

"She's talking about something else, other then a bag of chips." Patch said, snatching the empty bag before throwing it into the trash bin.

"Why do I always have to be second best?" Sabrina sulked. "I wanna be the best!"

Salem licked his paws and finished the chips before Patch could throw it away and he had made it into the basket. "Look on the bright side," he told the blonde witchling. "After Cherry's gained a healthy social life, you've been the best whiner."

"SALEM!?" Sabrina whined.

"Augh!" Mo put her hands over her ears, that was slightly high and painful.

"You can't expect life to be handed to you on a simple platter, now, uh, hand me that saucer and platter." Salem then replied.

Sabrina picked up the plate with a saucer filled with milk, giving it to the cursed warlock. Salem then took the saucer and chugged it down to drink the milk.

"Sabrina, what he's saying is life isn't going to be easy." Patch said.

"That's right," Salem replied. "It's a tough world out there, sister, you need to buckle down because it's a dog eat dog world out there, no offense Patch, because you gotta grab the bull by the horns, and the early bird gets the worm!"

"Say that again?" Sabrina asked.

"Basically, you have to get up early and start doing your best to out do Cassandra." Penelope said.

"Uh, yeah," Salem said, messing up what he had already said and tossed a paper ball in the trash bin, but it bounced off and ended up on the floor. "You gotta take the bird by the hands, because the dog gets worms or somebody's tough sister..."

"You can only do better if you try better." Cherry advised.

"Yeah." Atticus nodded.

"I think the one about dog's worms is worse than the 'dog eat dog world'." Patch shuddered.

"I agree." Penelope nodded.

Suddenly a timer went off.

"Well, I better get home..." Penelope stood up and put her backpack on. "Can't wait to tell Dad all about the fundraiser."

"Okay, see you in class then." Atticus said.

"See ya." Penelope said as she went through Sabrina's closet to get herself home.

"So, Sabrina, are you going to continue to whine or are you going to make yourself get better?" Patch asked the blonde witchling.

"I guess I could try to better myself..." Sabrina replied, looking determined now.

"That's what I like to hear." Patch smiled.

"You guys are right, I'll never be the best unless I'm better than Cassandra." Sabrina said.

"Oh, wait, Sabrina, we didn't mean-" Cherry tried to say.

"Well, I'm for it!" Sabrina stood up bravely.

"I have a feeling she's going to learn the hard way." Mo whispered.

"I might as well make it a challenge." Atticus whispered back.

"What're you up to now?" Cherry asked as she grabbed her backpack.

Atticus began to whisper his whole plan to Mo, Cherry, and Patch. Luckily Mo got to hear this plan and was apart of it unlike that school dance disaster.
