Previously in Muddy Adventures…
"Caleb, what are you saying?" Irma asked, her eyes still confused. She yawned slightly, which was caught by Caleb.
"Oh, you're tired? I can call back later. Hay Lin wouldn't know her phone was being used anyway…" Caleb offered, as Irma shook her head. Realizing he couldn't see her, Irma croaked.
"No, it's fine. Go on." Irma requested, pushing some of her messy hair back.
"Irma, I love you."

Grabbing her green skinned phone, Cornelia pressed number two as she called Irma. Hearing the dial tone, Irma didn't pick up. However, Cornelia listened for her voice mail.
"Hi, this is Irma! I'm not here right now, so please leave a message. A short one preferably, because I don't want to really hear a long drawn out speech. Oh, and Corny…IN YOUR FACE!"
Then, the usual "Please leave your message after the beep" arrived, and Cornelia had steam erupting from her ears.
"IRMA LAIR. HOW DARE YOU! YOU TRAPPED MY BOYFRIEND IN YOUR LEWD MANNER AND PROBABLY FORCED HIM TO ACCEPT YOU AS HIS GIRLFRIEND OR ELSE YOU'LL TAKE OFF THAT HIDEOUS MASK OF YOURS AND SHOW THE WORLD YOUR TRUE UGLY SIDE THAT EVEN NERISSA WOULD BE AFRAID OF! HOW DARE YOU! YOU'RE A BACK STABBING—" Cornelia heard footsteps, so she hung up her phone, tears streaming down her face.

Cornelia sniffled as she got up for school. It was Monday; the bane of all days for workers and school goers alike. Furthermore, Cornelia was glaring at a picture of the WITCH girls which had both Irma and Caleb in it.
Getting an idea, Cornelia snuck downstairs and found a can of creamed corn. As repulsive as it was, Cornelia had an idea of how to run away from her problems.
Sneaking back upstairs, Cornelia used her magic to open the can. Gently putting the can top down onto the ground, Cornelia dumped the creamed corn into the toilet.
Putting some of the extra bit around her mouth, Cornelia croaked
"Oooh…."
She waited several minutes before cocking an eyebrow. Was no one awake?
"OOOH!" Cornelia moaned louder, hoping to attract some attention.
Suddenly, she heard footsteps and silently cheered; her plan was a success.
Both of Cornelia's parents came in, and glanced at Cornelia worriedly.
"Cornelia! Dear, are you alright?" Her father asked, as Cornelia shook her head, feinting tears.
"Of course Harold she is! She left the can of creamed corn I was going to use for dinner right next to her…" Cornelia's mother sighed, as her father winked at her.
"Come on kiddo, you have thirty minutes before school starts. Yip yip!" Cornelia's father commanded, as he and his wife walked out of the room, leaving a grumpy Cornelia Hale.

Irma Lair was happy. She decided to dress in an aquamarine tank-top, with tight jeans that she felt accentuated her figure at just the right places. Applying cerulean lipstick and eyeshadow, Irma smiled with herself. Cornelia Hale was going to have a hard time beating this.
She applied her earrings, and then left the room, backpack in tow.
As she walked to school, she thought about her night with Caleb. She flushed a bit as she knew that they hadn't done anything to anger her father (besides a few passionate kisses on the lips and such) but she hoped to one day push things a bit further.
Reaching school, and seeing a flash of blonde and green, Irma smirked. Cornelia was in school! Prepare for World War III!

Will, Taranee and Hay Lin decided to keep the Heart of Candracar near, for if Cornelia and Irma met, they feared World War III would most likely occur.
Will groaned. She felt bad for Cornelia and good for Irma, but she still knew that Cornelia and Caleb were probably soul mates in Candracar.
Hay Lin squealed. She had a feeling Irma and Caleb would end up together, and she was so excited.
Taranee assessed the situation and decided to stay neutral. The three remaining sane girls of their team needed to keep their heads on the ground.
Entering school, the three mentally braced themselves for a possibly muddy fight…

When Irma entered the school, she saw many stuck up ho—'s glaring at her, some guys looking at her in a different way, and funnily enough, Martin avoiding her. It was like she died and went to heaven!
Seeing Cornelia, for a moment, Irma felt a pang of sorrow. But then remembering Cornelia's interesting message on her voice mail, Irma smirked again and decided to infuriate the girl.
"Oh Corny!" Irma called out, bringing the attention to two girls. Somewhere in the crowd, all three of the other WITCH girls slapped their foreheads.
However, Cornelia wasn't…miserable? In fact, she was almost glowing!
"Hey Irma, how are you?" Cornelia smiled, as she managed to still hold her obscenely large tote bag.
"Um…" Irma was at a loss of words to say. She expected screaming; this was too weird. The crowd soon grew bored and decided to go back to whatever rendezvous' they were doing before the possible fight.
"I just want to let you know, from one girl to another, that…" Cornelia bit her lip, but in a comedic way, as if to stifle her laughter. Irma cocked an eyebrow, as did Will, Taranee, and Hay Lin.
Finally, before answering, Cornelia began to laugh hysterically.
"CALEB'S ALREADY CHEATING ON YOU!"
