Sabrina had left the park happy that evening, though she couldn't help but see how ticked off Shinji was. As she walked home memories of afterward reeled through her mind.
.........
"What's wrong Shinji?" The boy sighed. "How could you—you let him just walk ALL over you? He was yelling and angered and—accusing." Shinji muttered, rolling his eyes. "How can you LIKE a boy like that?" Sabrina sat, stunned. Here her best friend was, dissing her boyfriend! Would she let it happen? She was about to burst into a fit when she remembered how accusing Harvey had been. Had he really been...jealous of her and Shinji? "You're lying." Sabrina stated simply, hoping once the words came out they would come true. "You're LYING!"
.........
"Hilda! Zelda! I'm home!" Sabrina cried, slamming the door.
"Oh, and what about the cat?" Muttered Salem as he stalked past Sabrina. She scooped him up and started to scratch behind his ears.
"I'm so sorry, Salem, will you EVER forgive me?"
Salem purred. "Maybe if you got me some catnip—"
Sabrina snorted. "Fat chance." She dropped the cat onto the sofa, where he hissed and ran off. Sabrina rolled her eyes and looked over to see Hilda reading a romance novel.
"Hi Auntie." Sabrina said, plopping down on the couch.
"Hello." She replied monotonously, engrossed in her book. Sabrina sighed and walked off to the kitchen, where Zelda was cooking up a cake. The mortal way.
"Err-Aunt Zelda?" Sabrina asked. "Why aren't you using magic?" Her Aunt's would usually NEVER do anything unless magic somehow made it easer. Zelda grunted as she tried to open ac an of powder milk.
"Sometimes it's good to explore ways of things." Was all she managed. Sabrina shrugged and ran up to her room where she quickly zapped herself into a comfortable purple nightie with a cuddly cartoon unicorn on the front.
"I guess I better start on my homework."
"You better." Salem agreed, who had suddenly appeared on Sabrina's bed. She didn't even glance at him, as this had happened many times before. Suddenly her phone rang.
She heard the ringing, but from where? She dived into her bed, but nothing there. She rooted through the mess on the floor, and still nothing.
"Sabrina! It's actually in the phone holder!" Salem cried. As Sabrina jumped for it, he muttered, "For once."
"Hello?!" She asked, gasping for breath.
"Err-Sabrina?"
"Oh, Hi Harvey!" Sabrina said, her tired voice automatically changing into a cooing voice. "What's up?"
"Oh, nothing. I was just wondering—do you want to go for a movie tomorrow evening?"
Sabrina grinned. "Of COURSE!"
"Great. I'll pick you up around—7:00?"
After the two hung up, Sabrina fell onto her bed. "How lovely!" She sighed. Salem rolled his eyes. "You better start on your homework!" Sabrina nodded and sat down at her desk, ready to tackle the monster.
"I made it!" Sabrina cried, smiling happily. For once she had been early for school. Already the day was taking a good turn. She hurried to her locker to take out her books for her morning classes. As she closed the locker door, a pair of hands swiped up out of nowhere and covered her eyes.
"Eek!" She giggled, giving a lovely smile.
"Guess whooo." Said a deep voice. Sabrina put her index finger to her lips. "Hmm...Shinji?" She giggled. Of course it was him. Naturally he would do something like that.
The pair of hands dropped. "No...it's Harvey."
Silence.
Nice going, PINHEAD.
Hey, I actually thought it was Shinji! What am I supposed to do now?
Tell him you're in love with Shinji, not him.
Shut up, that's NOT TRUE!
Suuureee...
Sabrina realized these conversations inside her head were useless.
"Oh! You sure surprised me---" She turned around to see her boyfriend red in the face, his eyes narrowed.
"H-Harvey?" Sabrina finished off her sentence quiet and squeakily.
"How come you thought it was Shinji?" Harvey spat.
Sabrina shrugged. "He usually does stuff like that."
"Oh, so do you two have private little conversations every morning?"
"Harvey!" Sabrina cried in a protesting voice. "Quit acting like a baby ad grow up! I like YOU, that's why I'm dating YOU." She said, poking a slim finger into his chest. "Now, I thought you said you weren't jealous?"
Harvey was silent, his face getting redder, but only from embarrassment.
"If you don't like me hanging out with Shinji, just say so!"
Harvey took a deep breath. Sabrina was expecting an apology, an 'I'm not jealous. I love only you'. But never---
"All right. I don't like you hanging out with him."
