Chapter 10

By lunchtime the school had gotten used to the club's wired appearance. As they sat in the back room of the canteen everyone was having fun acting like different people.

"Hey there, hunnie." Cassie said before sitting down on Nick's lap causing a chorus of oooh's.

"Shut up or I'll run you over with my car." Cassie sarcastically threatened them in keeping with the clothes she was wearing.

"Now Nick, how on earth did a nerd like you end up with such a cool biker as Cassie." Chris asked whilst adjusting his bowtie.

"Must have been the fact that I don't wear a bowtie like Im from the 17th century, unlike some people."Nick said proud of his reaction as usually he would have just punched Chris.

"Hey, Bowties are cool" Chris angrily replied. (couldn't resist the reference, sorry!)

Just then Melanie and Laurel walked in giggling and sat down next to Dianna and started to whisper.

Cassie feeling left out, jumped up and walked over to them.

"What's up?" she asked taking a seat next to Dianna.

"Oh, we were just discussing Laurels crush" said a rather hysterical Dianna.

"Shhh, he'll hear us!" scolded laurel looking around wearily.

"So he's in the room."Cassie wondered aloud.

"Oh yes, he is usually the life of the party but is quite conservative today."Melanie managed to say in between giggle fits.

"ohhh so it's between . . . Oh my God Laurel fancies the twins" Cassie squealed.

"SHHHHHH" Laurel shouted causing the whole room to look over at them, which made the girls laugh even more.

"And no I don't fancy both of them just one." Laurel confessed looking rather red across her cheeks.

"We've been trying to figure out which one but it's no use, she's not telling." Dianna said sobering up.

"Let me have a go?" Cassie asked having a rough idea of which one it was.

"So, this twin is he eating right now or not?"

"Not, neither of them are" Laurel said confused at such a silly question.

"Right, so does this twin dressed the most peculiar today?"

"Uhh yeah I guess he looks very different." Cassie was on the right track.

"Would you say he's kind to you?" She knew that whatever way Laurel answered this she would know which twin it was.

"Yeah he helps me a lot." Ha she was right.

"So, is this twin Chris?" Cassie asked knowing the answerer already.

"Yes. . . Damn I mean, oh crap." Laurel looked worried.

"I knew it, I could tell from last night when he helped you with the paint." Cassie was glad she figured it out.

"How could we have missed that?" Melanie asked, defeated.

"You left before them last night. If Im being honest I think Chris likes you to, he asked me where you were when we first came in." Cassie said trying to cheer her up. "Watch this" she added

Cassie walked back over to where Nick and Chris were sat fighting over chips.

"Hey guys," Cassie said sitting in-between them. Then she purposely kissed Nick knowing it would annoy Chris.

And just on cue he said "Ewww "

"You wouldn't think it was gross if you had a girlfriend" Cassie teased him

"Yeah well I don't, so Im allowed to think its gross." He answered her with a rather sad tone.

"Come on, there must be someone you like?" she was trying to get him to open up.

"Nah, it's no use. She would never go for me." He looked down at his shoes.

"Why not, you're a good guy. Im sure if you told me who it is I could put in a good word for you" She had him right where she needed him.

"Really?" he looked hopeful

"Of course, just say her name" Cassie was getting impatient now.

"Laurel." He whispered

Nick let out an almighty roar of a laugh and nearly fell of his seat.

"I knew it. She'd never go for me." His face fell and he fiddled with his bowtie again.

Cassie whacked Nick on the arm and gave him an icy look.

"Ignore him he's just shocked. I think the best thing for you to do is to just ask her out."

"But . . ." he tried to protest.

"Just go, trust me Chris Im sure she'll say yes." She pushed him up of the chair and turned him in the girl's direction.

"Okay then here goes."

Chris walked over to Laurel feeling like jelly. He sat down in across the table from her.

"Hey, what's going on girlies." He asked trying to keep calm.

"Nothing much" Dianna answered.

"How about you Chris?" Laurel asked making butterflies in his stomach.

"Oh Im fine, I was just wondering if any of you have heard of this new diner in town." He asked knowing that Laurel was talking about it only yesterday.

"You mean the one next to the doughnut shop? I've wanted to go there since it opened." Laurel answered looking exited.

"Me to," Chris said spotting his chance. "Would you want to go with me sometime, I mean since we both like the place."

"You mean like a date?" Laurel looked hopeful.

"Uhh if you want it to be?" Chris was so nervous.

"Okay sure" said Laurel with a smile.

"Really? Well how about Friday?" Chris asked surprised she said yes.

"That sounds nice. Pick me up at 8?"

"Sure thing, See ya then." Chris left the girls alone then to go and thank Cassie.

But before he could get across the room an announcement came over the speakers.

"Attention all students. Report to the main hall as soon as possible. It is time to meet you're new headmaster. Mr. Jack Burnswick" the announcement ended.

From that moment on the life of the coven would be anything but easy.

oooh Im getting down to the danger now ! I wonder what happens when they realise who this new head teacher really is?
