The Burn Book

Tabitha drove them all back to her house in her car. Her house was large with grey stone walls that made it look like a fairytale castle.

"Wow your house is amazing!" Betsy told her.

"I know right." Tabitha replied. Everyone climbed out of the car.

"Don't forget to check out her mom's boob job. They're hard as rocks!" Amara told her.

They made their way into the house.

"I'm home!" Tabitha called. "Hey Torpid." She said to the little girl dancing in front of the TV.

"Hey!" She called back.

"Hey! How's my best girlfriends!" Callisto yelled from the Kitchen.

"Hey Callisto this is Betsy." Amara introduced her.

"Hello sweetheart!" Callisto said opening her arms for a hug. "Welcome to our home."

"Thanks" Betsy said as she was crushed up against Callisto's rock hard chest.

"Now if you need anything don't be afraid to ask there are no rules in this house I'm not like a regular mom I'm a cool mom right Tabitha?" She said looking over to her daughter.

"Please stop talking now." Tabitha told her.

"OK I'm gonna make you girls a humpdink treat!" Callisto told the girls as hey made their way upstairs.

As they walked into Tabitha's room Betsy gazed around in wonder. The room was large with a fore poster bed and a balcony over looking the garden. The room opened out into a bathroom with a sunken bath in the floor.

"This is your room?" Betsy asked in amazement.

"It was my parents room but I made them trade." Tabitha explained as she walked over and turned the stereo on. A song blasted out and the girls nodded along to it.

"Do you even know who sings this?" Tabitha asked.

"The Spice Girls?" Betsy guessed.

" She is so cute! She's like a Martian!"

Kitty had moved in front of the full-length mirror.

"My hips are so big!" She complained.

Amara joined her.

"I hate my calves!" Tabitha followed suit.

"I can never wear halter tops I have man shoulders!" She told them.

Betsy stared. She couldn't see anything wrong with any of them. Yet they continued.

"My arms are too guy-like!" Tabitha moaned.

"My hairline is weird!" Amara said as she scrutinised it.

"My nail beds suck!" Kitty complained. The all turned to Betsy to see her response.

"Um….. I have really bad breath in the morning." She told them.

"Eww" Kitty muttered.

"Hey guys!" Callisto called as she made her way into the room carrying a tray of drinks. "Happy hour is from four till six!" Everyone took a drink and started sipping it.

"Um… is there any alcohol in this?" Betsy asked uncertainly.

"Oh god no dear what kind of mother do you think I am!" Callisto asked shocked. She then added: "Why do you want a little bit cause if your gonna have it I'd rather you did it in the house."

"No thank you." Betsy replied.

Callisto picked up the small dog that had been yapping around her heels and sat down in a chair.

"So what did you guys do today? What is the 411? What has everybody been up to? Hat's the hot gossip?" She asked as the dog began chewing at her top.

"Mom! Could you go fix your hair?" Tabitha asked quickly.

"Sure. You girls keep me young!" Callisto told them as she left.

Kitty walked over to a shelf and pulled out a big pink book.

"Look what I found!" She told them.

"Oh my god I haven't looked at that in ages!" Tabitha told them.

"Check this out Betsy!" Amara called her over. "This is our burn book. It's where we cut out girl's pictures from the yearbook and wrote comments. Like this: Jubilation Lee is a grotsky little byotch."

"Still true." Tabitha called from the mirror.

"X-23 is a fat virgin!"

"Still half true!" Everyone giggled. Kitty continued.

"Rogue. She made out with a hotdog." Amara turned the page and continued.

"Wanda Maximoff dyke." Betsy's eyes widened as she realised what Bobby had been on about.

"Who's that next to her?" Kitty asked.

"I think it's that kid Bobby."

"Yeah he's almost to gay to function." Betsy told them. Then she realised her mistake.

"That's funny put that in." Tabitha told them.

Betsy, Bobby and Wanda were meeting at the shop Wanda worked at.

"And they have this book where they write mean things about all the girls in our grade." Betsy told them.

"What does it say about me?" Wanda asked. Betsy hesitated.

"You're not in it." She told her.

"Those bitches." Wanda muttered. Bobby appeared with a face cream.

"Will this minimise my pores?"

"No" Wanda told him. He disappeared again.

"Betsy you have to steal that book then we can publish it and everyone can see what an axe wound she really is!" Wanda told her.

"No I don't steal." Betsy told her.

"How about this?" Bobby asked popping up again.

"That is foot cream." Wanda told him exasperated.

"Betsy there are two types of evil people ok? People who do evil things and people who see evil things being done and don't do anything about it." Wanda told her.

"Does that mean I'm morally obligated to burn that lady's outfit?" Bobby asked pointing at a woman wearing a waistcoat covered in badges and silly string.

"Oh my god that's Ms Darkholme." He realised.

"I love seeing teachers outside school." Wanda told them. "It's like watching a dog walk on its hind legs." Ms Darkholme noticed them and walked over.

"Hey I didn't know you worked here." She told Wanda.

"Moderately priced soaps are my calling." Wanda told her.

"What are you doing here?" Bobby burst out.

"Oh I'm just here with my boyfriend." Ms Darkholme said pointing at and old biker guy sniffing soaps. Everyone stared.

"I'm kidding, You know older people make jokes."

"My Nanna takes her wig off when she's drunk." Bobby told them.

"Your Nanna and I have that in common. No I work nights over at PJ Calamities to pay for my divorce." She turned to Betsy.

"Betsy you should really consider joining the matheletes it would be great to have a girl on the team you know just so the team can meet a girl."

"I'll think about it." Betsy told her.

"You can't join the matheletes it's social suicide!" Bobby told her.

"Thanks Bobby." Ms Darkholme said.

"Sorry." He muttered.

"See you guys tomorrow!" Ms Darkholme called as she left.

"You have to keep spying on Tabitha!" Wanda re-directed the conversation.

"No it just doesn't feel right."

"Please! It'll be fun to just mess with her and It'll be our little secret."

"Fine." Betsy grumbled.
