Wow, it's been a while since I've written for this story...
Don't worry... I'll be posting a little more frequently so... that's a good thing.
But, at least it's finally here.
DISCLAIMER: If I owned The Hazing/Dead Scared... do you think I'd have such a hard time getting it done? And I don't own the songs either. All I own is my OC and her family.
Please enjoy.
Callyn
I pulled the ice-pack from my nose and transported it back to the freezer as I looked at my mirror.
I sighed and flicked my wrist, causing my nose to snap back into place.
Groaning softly from the sudden pain, I blinked back some tears and grabbed a tissue from its box close by.
I rubbed the blood from my nose and the tears from my eyes before I turned away from the mirror and lit a single candle as I grabbed a picture of Doug.
I burnt the picture and whispered, "Let this boy feel the pain I just did, let this boy feel the hurt I have. Let this boy know how I feel."
Once the picture was all burnt away, I blew out the candle and put it away.
That'll show him not to mess with a witch.
The next morning…
I woke up to Doug's groaning.
Smirking lightly, I got up and walked out of my room and barged into his.
"You feeling okay?" I had trouble asking with a straight face… and without chuckling.
"No!" He moaned as he moved his head up for me to see it.
I saw his nose broken a little, not as bad as mine had been… but probably just as hurt.
I walked over as he slowly stood up.
"I feel like I've been beaten up over and over too…" He sighed softly.
"Metaphorically or physically?" I questioned.
"Both!" He moaned.
I nodded, "Is there anything you wanna say to me? Rhymes with 'I'm Florry'…."
He sent a glare my way before his eyes softened greatly, "First let me say that you are incredibly 'flannoying'… but I am sorry for making fun of you as I have been. I don't mean it."
I smiled lightly, "Good to hear."
Least that'll keep him from being a dick for the day.
After class…
I sighed softly before I closed my locker door.
"Hello."
I jumped, biting my lip to keep from yelping when I saw Roy Edwardson standing close by.
"H… hello…" I whispered before I fixed the strap of my bag and started walking away quickly.
"You're that girl from the meetings right… the gay one?" He followed after me.
I bit my lip and stepped into the girls' bathroom, keeping my distance.
I didn't like being followed, and I especially didn't like being followed by guys who are in frats…
When I heard him leave, I took in a soft breath and walked back out, making sure no one was around before I continued on, biting my lip as I kept my head low so no one would look at me.
As I got out to my bike, I noticed several people at me, some pointing, others just whispering.
I put my bag in the traveling case before I got on my bike, then the helmet, and closed the visor.
Just as I was starting the engine, Doug walked out, frowning at me.
He walked over as I pulled the helmet off to hear him.
"Were you planning on waiting?"
I gave a soft shake of the head as he put his bag in the case and got behind me as he put on a helmet.
I put mine back on before I started the bike more and headed off, the laughter of the other students bouncing around in my head.
Half an hour later…
I still heard their whispering as I got off my bike, pulled my helmet off, grabbed my bag, and pretty much bolted into the dorm-building, then my own.
When I got in there, I quickly put my stuff away then I made a mad dash for my room and closed the door quickly behind me.
When I got in there, I took in several deep breaths before I fell against the door, then onto the ground, trying not to cry as I still heard all that laughter.
Course, the tears still fell as I pulled my knees up and leaned against them.
"Way to go, Harper…" I hissed softly in anger, "People laugh and whisper at and about you for being a silent bitch… just great…"
Nothing... and I mean nothing, can make this day worse.
1 hour later…
There was a knock on the door as I now sat on my bed.
It opened, revealing Doug… holding a plate of food.
"Are you hungry?"
I shook my head silently.
"Wanna talk?"
Again, I shook my head.
He sighed, putting the plate down, "Callyn…"
I kept my eyes off him, trying not to cry as that laughter and whispering still bounced in my head.
"If it makes you feel any better… they shouldn't have laughed at you… I know that… And I'm sorry."
Sadly, I had a feeling it was the spell talking… not him.
This followed by him gently closing the door, though, so I was left alone.
Looking down at my lap, I slowly got up.
The door opened again, and Doug blinked before he grabbed the plate.
"Watch it." He grumbled softly, taking the plate out.
I bit my lip and went to sit back down.
He took my arm lightly.
"Callyn… come out to the front, please."
"Why?" I sighed softly.
"We should talk."
I shook my head, "I'm not in the mood."
"Well, we should. Soon." He informed me.
"Why?" I repeated.
"Because you need to work on your self-confidence… and I've heard talking helps."
I bit my lip, then shook my head again, "I don't think it's a good idea… I just need some time to myself… okay?"
He frowned, then nodded, "Alright… just… know my door's always open, okay?"
I nodded back before he closed my door lightly again.
I took in a soft breath before I grabbed my candles and put them in a circle.
Once done, I lit them each and sat in the middle, letting myself calm down a little more.
I easily cleared my mind and started floating as before.
Letting my mind connect with the world around me, I was once again able to see what I usually couldn't.
Traveling out of my room, I moved my subconscious where Doug was in the Dorm, looking upset.
"My God the bitch is a drama queen… it's like she's never been mocked before." He groaned, "Then again… they were laughing at her…"
I forced myself to remain emotionless as I moved closer to him.
"But, if I go apologize, she'll just laugh it off, saying I was joking." He figured, "I'll just wait it out."
With that, he took the food he was gonna give me and started eating in the living room.
I moved back to my room and reentered my body.
Blinking once I was back, and on the ground, I slowly got up and undid all the flames.
He really thinks that?
Doug
I sighed as I leaned against my chair, closing my eyes.
Something was up in my head, but I ignored it pretty easily, not wanting to think too much about it.
So, I continued to eat what I'd wanted to give to her…
That was, until I heard her door open and I looked over to see her walking out.
"Are you okay?" She asked gently.
"I'm fine." I assured simply, "Why do you ask?"
She shrugged and put a hand on my shoulder once she was close enough.
I frowned at the feeling it brought me as she sat down.
"Just asking." She replied simply.
"What about you? Are you okay?" I inquired gently.
"Yeah… yeah… uh… yeah. I'm great." She nodded.
"Callyn?" I sighed.
"Honest." She insisted.
I looked at her for a second before I nodded, "Okay… uh… I really, truly hate to bring this up… but… the… meeting is in like… two days… so…"
The look she had on her face that was clear as day one of sorrow… and… fear?
"Please, please don't make me go back out there… live alone without clothes!" She begged.
I sighed again, "I'm sorry, Callyn…"
She scoffed a bit, "Yeah I-"
"I mean it." I insisted, "I don't want you upset any more than you already are… but… you have to do this… please? I promise… it's just this meeting for the rest of the month."
"Fine… whatever." She grumbled and started to walk away, clearly pissed.
I groaned and got in front of her, "Callyn… come on… if it was up to me right now… I wouldn't have you come… but… it's not… and I am so sorry for that…"
"Yeah…" She scoffed.
"Please." I pleaded, "Callyn I would do anything if it meant you'd go."
She raised a brow and I instantly regretted my choice of words. "Anything you say?"
"Callyn, that's not what I-"
"Nope. You said it. You meant it. You'll be doing my Laundry and anything else I'd like." She decided.
I groaned in annoyance, "Great… just… great… you know you're very manipulative."
She smiled lightly and nodded, "I know."
Half an hour later…
I mumbled under my breath as I walked into the laundry room, annoyed.
"Next time, I'm keeping my mouth shut." I grumbled.
I don't what her issue is, I mean, it could be good that we get in that group.
Though, considering the 'leader' of that group happens to be Jacob Trex… maybe that wouldn't happen.
But, I'd already come this far, might as well keep going.
14 minutes later…
As I was walking back to the main dorm room, I noticed someone down the hall, smirking darkly at me.
I frowned, putting the basket down before I looked over at him, "Can I help you?"
He raised a brow, then scoffed, walking up to me, "You're Doug… right?"
"Yes…?" I let out slowly.
"Listen… you're gonna wanna get away from your roommate." He breathed out.
"Why?" I folded my arms.
"Let's just say, she can do something pretty bad."
I rolled my eyes, "Considering I need to make up for her getting hurt… I highly doubt that."
"No. You don't understand. She might be getting you killed soon."
"Oh? And you know that how?" I scoffed.
"Because I know her type. She's evil."
Callyn
Okay… maybe one good thing came out of today…
And it wasn't Doug treating me differently because of a spell… for now.
It was Doug's, easy to see, cluelessness.
But, I wasn't gonna play on that right now.
Right now, I had to figure out how to work around a fraternity, especially with All Hollow's Eve just around the corner.
So, I need to get a lot of stuff done, and if that meant messing a little with Doug Landers, so be it.
I sighed as I walked by the front door, getting some dinner ready, bored.
Of course… as I did… I heard something outside.
"So what? That gives you the right to tell me what to do?" Doug scoffed, "Give me a break. She's nothing special. Now, if you excuse me."
I heard him grab something before I looked over at the clock quickly.
Sure enough, it froze.
"Warlock." I growled, pulling the door open.
Sure enough, it was Elwin Avery.
"Well… at least that got your attention." He smirked.
"Leave Doug out of this." I snarled, "Your family's beef is with me. Not him."
"Wrong. Anyone who associates themselves with a witch like you is bad. Even if you have no idea what you really are."
I growled, "I know what you're wanting me to do, and it's not gonna happen."
"Oh? What am I wanting you to do then?" He mocked.
"You want me to attack you… to break the time freezing spell." I relented, "Not happening."
He scoffed, "Fine then."
He snapped his fingers, before I was suddenly thrown backward by a shock-wave of magic.
I groaned before I slid to a stop by the edge of the room. "I'm not going to fight you so don't even try."
Elwin snarled, "You won't be able to hide your powers forever… and when you slip up, you know I'll be there to take you."
With that, he snapped his fingers, and the time spell broke with it.
I took in a soft breath as I looked around, then stood up straight and walked up to Doug.
"Doug." I got next to him, grabbing his shoulder.
He jolted, "Callyn…! What are you doing out here? I thought you were cooking?"
I shrugged, then glared over at Elwin, "Eh… I thought I forgot something and I was about to get it… but… I think it's the dorm… so let's go."
With that, I picked up the basket of clothes and motioned him inside.
He rolled his eyes, then followed my instruction.
When he got in, I heard Elwin scoff.
"You'll fail in your little plot to keep your secret hidden."
"We'll see about that." I growled before I walked inside, slamming the door closed.
"…Who was that guy anyway?" Doug questioned.
"…Don't know." I lied, shaking my head, before I put the basket on the counter, "Get your clothes and put them in your room… I'll finish dinner."
"Alright." He rolled his eyes.
With that, we went to do just that, but I couldn't stop myself from glancing over at him.
"Avery's gonna regret trying to get to me through Doug." I growled, turning back to my work.
I might hate Doug… but using him as some sort of playing piece to get to me?
Yeah… not gonna work on me.
I actually had to lengthen this chapter cause it was originally just gonna be 1,000 words... so... that's a good thing honestly.
Anyway, we're closing in on when the actual movie starts... and I cannot stress how much I can't wait for that.
Toon in next time though!
Catch ya then! Please Review, with no hate, favorite, and follow!
