Chapter 22

"Bianca? What are you doing here?" Raven asked in a high-pitched voice.

"Apparently, I'm catching you in your big-fat lie!" Bianca sneered, moving closer to Raven and Chelsea.

Looking at the kitchen, Bianca noticed the whole spell stuff. "What's all this?"

"Uh—w-well you see, it's part of our community service project. Didn't Loca tell you?"

Bianca stirred the potion, laughing a little. Then, she saw the book. "Please. What, are you two performing a magic spell or something?"

"Yeah, what's it to you?" Samantha said, walking into the kitchen. "Who's this?"

"You don't know me? I'm…" Bianca began but Raven interrupted her.

"She was just leaving." Raven said, turning Bianca around and pushing her toward the door, but Bianca jumped from Raven's grasp.

"Nuh-uh. No way. I'm not leaving until I find out what's going on."

"Raven wants you out of here. So leave." Chelsea said firmly, moving behind Raven.

"Do you think you scare me little girl? You are nothing but a mousey little freak—"

"And you are nothing but astupid little bully." Chelsea shot back.

"Guys, its 11:56." Samantha cut in.

"You better watch your mouth, if you know what's good for you." Bianca threatened, but Chelsea didn't back down. In fact, she moved past Raven to look Bianca square in the eye.

"What are you going to do? You're alone. Loca and Muffy aren't here to hold me down."

"Chelsea, it's cool." Raven said, the only one hearing Samantha's warning.

"11:57" Samantha said louder, looking at her watch.

"I can still kick your sorry little butt." Bianca stated, pushing Chelsea.

Chelsea pushed back harder and Bianca stumbled.

"Hey, stop it!" Raven screamed, putting herself in the middle as both Bianca and Chelsea lunged at each other.

The girls struggled between Raven, who was having a really hard time keeping them apart. "Samantha, a little help here!" Raven shouted.

"Oh." Samantha said, shuffling over and reaching into her pocket. Pulling out what looked like white sand, Samantha sprinkled some over Bianca just as Chelsea pushed her back.

But Bianca didn't fall. Raven watched as Bianca's whole body stiffened in what looked like an uncomfortable pose. One leg was bent in the air as she balanced on the heel of her other foot. Her arms were spread widely like a tightrope walker. But Bianca did not move. She didn't budge one inch. It was like she froze in mid air.

"Wow. What is that stuff?" Raven asked, as both she and Chelsea stared at Bianca, their mouths agape.

"Freezing powder. I keep it in my pocket, you know, in case someone wants to mug me or something. It works, but not for long." Samantha said, looking at her watch. "OH! 11:59! Quick!"

Both Raven and Samantha ran to the counter.

"Okay, repeat after me." Samantha ordered and Raven nodded. "Oh wondrous Gods of space and time…"

"Oh wondrous Gods of space and time…"

"I call upon thee at hour midnight…"

"I call upon thee at hour midnight…"

"In your magical hands I implore you take mine…"

"In your magical hands I implore you take mine…"

"And help me reverse what has been wrongly made right."

"And help me reverse what has been wrongly made right."

"Now, drink the potion!"

"Now…oh!" Raven exclaimed, looked at Chelsea one more time (as if to silently say one last goodbye; Chelsea nodded), and then drank the potion. It was thick, tasted like sour milk, and slid down her throat with much protest.

Raven closed her eyes tightly, struggling to force the disgusting liquid down. When she finished, she slowly opened her eyes….
