Adriane, Kara, and Emily stared open mouthed at Tasha, as she picked up her glasses and slid them slowly on her face. She looked in their direction and blinked. Blinked again. She moved closer to the window and gasped as she realized she wasn't dreaming. Emily and Kara looked at eachother then back to the startled African girl through the window. Adriane signaled Kara to make thew dragonflies stop spinning. Kara nodded and snatched them out of the air, making the image of Tasha dissapear into thin-air. The three girls stood there, breathing deeply.
"I never expected this to happen." Storm said to them. They looked at him, Kara had her eyebrows raised.
"No, really?" she said, releasing the dragonflies that popped out that same second.

"Hello class," Mrs, Beakle said.
"Hello." the class replied, in monotone.
"Today we will be taking a pop quiz." The class graoned, except three girls in the back of the room. Adriane reached into her pocket and very carefully tossed a note onto Kara desk. Kara glanced at her then at the note. Next, she took it and opened it under her desk. It read:
Guys,
We have to get Tasha out to the glade to meet Storm and Ozzie and stuff ok?
A.C.
Kara nodded to her then dropped the note to the floor. Making sure Mrs. Beakle wasn't looking, she kicked it lightly to Emily. Emily peered at it then carefully reached down, but unfortunantly was caught.
"Emily! What are you doing?" Mrs Beakle barked. Kara and Adriane shot her looks that meant 'Don't you dare blow it.' Emily's face went red.
"Uh...nothing?" she shrugged lightly. Mrs. Beakle walked over and picked the note off of the floor. The three girls hoped she wouldn't open it. Instead she crumbled it and tossed it over her shoulder, missing the trash can by inches. Emily sat up and gulped.
"Sorry." Adriane whispered as Mrs. Beakle got back to her speech about the pop quiz.
"It's ok." Emily whispered too. "What was so important?"
"All I wanted was to tell you that we have to get Tasha out to the glade ASAP."
"OK."
"What are you talking about know, Emily?"
"Nothing...nothing."
* * * * * *
After class, Adriane and Kara made their way down the crowded hall to chemistry. It was agreed that Emily should talk to Tasha because she has more, as Ozzie put it, 'people skills.'
"Excuse me, Tasha?" Emily may have more 'people skills' but this girl made her nervous. As she edged closer, she peeked down at her stone and silently gasped. It had turned black, pitch black. Emily raised her eyes back to Tasha and continued.
"I was wondering if-"
"Who are you?" Tasha interrupted. Emily was startled by her sudden question.
"E-E-Emily," she stammered.
"Oh." Tasha turned back to her loccker, but was still listening.
"I was just wondering if you would like to hang out with my friends and I after school."
"Why?"
"Uh, well because, uh, well we...we...we have a gift for you!" Tasha turned to her and smiled an evil kind of half-smile. She seemed to be interested.
"A gift?"
"Y-Yes."
"Where is this," Tasha raised her hands and bent her pointer and middle finger to look like qoutations, "gift?"
"Just meet us at the edge of the Ravenswood Wildlife Preserve."
"That old dirty place?" Emily stopped, she felt her ears go red. Ravenswood is not dirty! she thought.
"Yes."
"See you there." Tasha pulled out a book and rushed down the hall, eager to get a way. Emily headed in the other direction and finally reached chemistry. Once she was in she nodded to the other girl and began to study, like Mr. Ray told them to.
"I never expected this to happen." Storm said to them. They looked at him, Kara had her eyebrows raised.
"No, really?" she said, releasing the dragonflies that popped out that same second.
