Chapter 4
"Wow. You were telling the truth?" said Bill.
"Yeah. Now why would I lie about something like that?" I said. "Geez your thick. Anyway, this has to be a secret okay? If anyone finds out they could kill me."
"You got it officer Joe. Whatever you say," said Bill.
"Now tomorrow I am having two friends over for a while so don't try to come in my room because the door will be spelled. So if you touch it you go 'poof' onto Pluto okay?"
"Just 'poof' no 'bang bash BOOOOOM'?"
"No Bill Just poof. Come on Laurie. Lets get you cleaned up before we clean up all this glass."
"Alright. It's just I'm still in shock from getting pushed on the floor by a 17 year old kid who has the strength of a bull. That really hurt."
"Yeah well getting one of those chandelier dingy's in your hand would hurt more and leave a mark so what would you pick." Laurie brought her hands up to shoulder height and was balancing them like a scale while muttering "Getting a hole in hand, or big bruise, hole in hand or big bruise." Then she spoke so we could hear "Big bruise it is. Not that I have a choice now."
"No and you probably won't if there is a next time."
"You got it mister." She replied. That night I slept with a clear conscience only to have my dreams disrupted by people talking. I saw a man, he was tall and a women who was a little shorter than he was. I could make out some words but not all of them. Then they turned to look at me.
"Oh Jeez, Look." Said the women.
"Hey little guy." Said the man. I eyed them like they were crazy. I looked at myself and I was two feet tall. Then when they went to pick me up my alarm rang.
"Great. Another day of hell. Ed where did you go?"
"Over here. He screamed from atop my bookshelf."
"Good, when I come out of the shower turn around so I can get dressed. Alright?"
"Duh."
"Okay just makin' sure." By the time I left for school I had this nagging feeling that I forgot something. Only when I got to my class that I realized I didn't do any homework. Needless to say Magick was my top priority last night. Anyway I got a little disappointment speech from each teacher, which seemed to take all period and some of them did. I just needed to tell Kristina and Steph where to meet me after school so I could give them their powers at my house. But I didn't see them all day. Then finally when lunch rolled around I saw them.
"Where the hell have you two been?"
"Ummm, on that trip to the Science Museum." Said Tina.
"Right" I replied. "I need you guys to meet me at the vending machines after school today. I have some important gifts for you at my house." For that brief second after gifts did Stephanie lift her head up from her book.
"OOOhhhh, what kind of gifts? Is it sugar? Huh? Huh? Is it? Is it?"
"You'll see," After ninth period I got all my things determined to do my homework tonight but I knew it would be really late before I could. I met the two girls at the vending machines as promised and we walked to my house.
While we were walking I had this nagging feeling that we were being followed.
