Laura smirked as she broke into Benny's locker, grabbing his spell book from the top shelf. The hallways were nearly empty, as class was currently in session, so it was easier for Laura to sneak away with the book at hand. With said book, Laura felt she could cure Bea's dilemma. Now all she needed to do was find the correct spell and see if it would work for her.

Bea sat at the lunch table, picking at the sandwich on her plate with a fork. Benny and Ethan continued to rant about Battlestar Galactica and Bea got bored with it easily. Being around geeks was fun and all, but argument after argument started to get irritating. Bea felt a surge go through her body and she looked up at Benny.
"I made out with Evil Benny," Bea stated calmly.
From the cafeteria door Laura scolded herself. A truth spell isn't what she had been looking for, but it's what she had used.
"Wait… you what?" Benny asked as he turned to look at Bea, dropping the argument with Ethan.
"It was before we left that day; he came out of nowhere, pushed me against the lockers and kissed me." Bea knew what she was doing but she couldn't stop the words from leaving her mouth. "Why am I saying all of this?" Bea hissed to herself.
"Did you kiss him back?" Ethan asked the question that Benny couldn't form.
"Yeah because I'm-" Sarah rushed over at vampire speed and slapped her hand over Bea's mouth.
"She doesn't know what she's saying." Sarah laughed nervously as she lifted Bea out of the seat. "What are you doing?" Sarah whispered to Bea in the corner of the cafeteria.
"I may have cast a spell…" Laura stated from behind the two. Bea glared at Laura, "I wasn't aiming for you!"
"Then what were you trying to do?" Bea asked as she crossed her arms and raised an eyebrow.
"I was casting a true love spell to see how Benny felt about you." Laura answered shyly. Bea slapped Laura's arm in disappointment.
"Not good, Laura. What if you had forced him to fall in love with me because of a spell? I don't want him to like me against his own will!" Laura nodded then smirked at Bea.
"So you made out with his evil double?" Bea blushed but smacked Laura again.
"How did you cast the spell anyway?"
Laura wiggled her eyebrows and pulled a He-man, "I have the power!"

Bea sat across from Benny's grandma, Laura standing awkwardly behind Bea. Benny found out about Laura taking his book and enlightened his grandma on what happened.
"You were able to cast the spell?" Laura gave a weak 'yes' as an answer. Benny sat in the living room, not far off, staring at Bea. "Let me see your hand, dear." Laura allowed Benny's grandma to take her hand, feeling a spark as the woman did so.
When Bea turned her head she caught eye contact with Benny and held it, giving him a small smile. Benny smiled back and turned to Ethan who had caught the moment.
"Well I haven't seen one of you in quite a while." The elder woman stated as she let go of Laura's hand. "You're a pixie." Two seconds later Bea was laughing loudly, holding her stomach in pain.
"A pixie?" Laura asked as she ignored her friend's obnoxious laughter.
"Yes, a pixie. Not quite as strong as many other magical beings but still strong enough to cast a simple spell."
"Pixie power," Bea mumbled before laughing again.
"You're evil." Laura hissed to Bea as she sat down across from the elder woman. "Tell me everything you can, please." Bea stood, still laughing, and walked into the living room. The brunette collapsed on the couch beside Benny, allowing her head to lull back against the cushion.
"Am I seriously the only human in this town?" Bea asked as she curled her feet underneath of her body.
"Seems like it," Ethan said with a hint of humor and some sarcasm. "Did you ever find anything out about your real mom?" Bea sat her elbow on the back of the couch and pressed her hand against her cheek.
"Not yet. All I know is that my only way of finding out about her is through the local hospital." The girl bit down on her thumb nail, chewing away at it.
"You know, we could always-"
"No," Bea cut Ethan off. "I want to do this on my own."
"Just remember that we're here if you need any help." Ethan gave Bea a smile and elbowed Benny, who was staring at Bea intensely.
"Something wrong, Benny?" Bea asked, taking notice of the silent boy.
"You kissed him!" Benny shouted, shocking everyone in the house.
"He kissed me. Why does it matter anyway?" Bea hissed.
"It's like you're kissing me!" Bea glared at Benny and stood, shaking her head slowly.
"Because I'm such a hideous person, it would've been horrible to kiss me? Yeah, I gotcha. Come talk to me when you don't want to be an ass." Everyone stared after Bea as she walked out of the house, slamming the door shut as loudly as she could.
"That's not what I meant, Bea!" Benny yelled after her as he ran out of the house. Benny's grandma laughed and walked into the living room, Laura following after her.
"What's so funny?" Ethan asked.
"Those two are going to end up together but neither realizes it." She stated and laughed again. "You're a seer, you should've seen it happening before I did." Ethan's face flushed from embarrassment and Laura grinned from behind Grandma.
"Maybe it's not a good idea if those two end up reproducing. With Benny's inability to do magic correctly and Bea's fiery temper, the mix of the two wouldn't be… positive. Not just that, but Bea's stalkerish-" Laura cut herself off, biting her own lip with wide eyes. Benny's Grandma had avoided what she said but Ethan looked truly interested.
"Bea's a stalker?" Ethan asked in a low voice.
"Uh, no." Laura answered in a rush before giving him a smile. "I have to… go." With that, Laura ran out of the house.
"What did we get ourselves into with those two?" Ethan asked himself.
"A whole lot of fun," Grandma answered with a wink.
Wah-lah! : )
So I made a video, kind of showing Bea's feelings for Benny. But I refuse to post it online somewhere (Copyright issues from the song). Therefore I am willing to email it to any of you readers who want it! All you have to do is send me your email (PM me or Review, doesn't matter) and I will send the video to you :D
