The next day was a Saturday. Cornelia was already awake, and was eating breakfast. Ring!Ring!, Cornelia's cell phone rang. She picked it up and didn't recongize the phone number. Cornelia put it on her ear, "Hello?"..."Oh, hi Jason. How did you get my cell phone number?"..."Oooh, ok"..."Probably later today, cause I'm gonna go meet with my friends right now"..."Uh-huh"..."Yeah, 4 is good"..."Ok, bye". Cornelia hung up.
"Who was that, Cornelia?", Mrs. Hale asked as she sat down on the table with her coffee mug. "It's this new boy in school", Cornelia started as she went back to the table to eat her pancakes. "A boy?", Lillian grinned. "It's not like that, you monkey! We were paired to do this weirdo science project. I told him that if he wanted we could meet today", Cornelia replied to her annoying little sister. "You could tell your little friend to do your project here, Cornelia. It would be so interesting to meet someone new", Mrs. Hale smiled. "Um...ok, I guess. Well mom-", Cornelia got up, "-I'm gonna go to Irma's house to meet with the other girls, ok?". "Alright dear", Mrs. Hale gave her a kiss on the cheek. Cornelia waved and left the door.
Cornelia walked and walked until she reached Irma's house. She rang the doorbell and waited for them to open the door. Irma opened the door with the phone in her ear, "Uh-huh, that's two peperoni and extra cheese, and one with jalapenos". Cornelia entered to Irma's house. Irma closed the door and hung up, "Hi Corny!". Irma gave her a hug. "Uh, hi?", Cornelia hugged back confusingly. "Pizza should be here in 30 minutes, or something", Irma said as she put the phone down on the kitchen counter.
Will, Taranee, Hay Lin, and Caleb were at the table talking away. "Oh, Cornelia's here", Hay Lin smiled. "Hi Cornelia", everyone said. "Uh, hi", Cornelia smiled and laughed silently. "Something's different about you today", Hay Lin got up and inspected Cornelia. "Nothing's wrong, Hay Lin", Cornelia shook her head. "Let me guess-", Hay Lin looked at her face, and then grinned, "-you gotta do the project with Jason at 4, right?". "Hay Lin...how did you know that?", Cornelia looked weirded out. "I have special powers, just like my grandma, to feel the emotions of others...plus, I've known you since forever!", Hay Lin squinted and laughed her head off. So did everyone else, even Cornelia.
"Hey so, who's this Jason guy?", Caleb asked. "He's this new boy at school...he's in Cornelia's and Will's class", Taranee explained. "And Cornelia has to do a...project with him?", Caleb got a confused face. "For our science project, we were paired in partners to do a science experiment...Cornelia got paired up with Jason...I got stuck with Uriah", Will frowned. "Poor Will", Irma said. Cornelia and Irma went to sit on the counter.
Caleb had a serious face, Jason, huh? I don't like the looks of this...what if he likes Cornelia...what if she likes him! I have to find out...but I hope my thoughts are wrong. "Dude, nothing is going on with Cornelia and Jason", Taranee whispered to Caleb. "What do you mean? I wasn't thinking that", Caleb whispered back. "I can read thoughts, remember (gotta read the books, Taranee can read thoughts...so cool)?", Taranee grinned. "Ugh, right", Caleb made a face.
"Now what?", Hay Lin asked. "Ah!", Cornelia shrieked shortly. Everyone looked at her, her phone started to vibrate. They made a face. "What? Hasn't that ever happened to you?", Cornelia defended and opened the cell phone. "Hello?"..."Hi, Jason". Everyone raised their eybrows, Ugh! Back off Jason!, Caleb thought with anger..."Um...I guess, are you sure?"..."Ok, I'll be right there, bye". Cornelia hung up, "I have to go, you guys". "Why?", Caleb said. Irma, Will, Taranee, and Hay Lin grinned at him. Caleb turned red. "Jason wants me to go to his house to do his project right now", Cornelia said. "Do you even know where he lives?", Will asked. "Yeah, he lives two houses after mine", Cornelia said. "Dang!", Irma said."Yeah, scary", Cornelia said, she got off the counter and walked towards the door. "See you guys later, bye!", Cornelia waved. Everyone also waved to her. Cornelia opened the door and left.
"I...uh...have to go too", Caleb stood up. "Go where?", Hay Lin asked. "To...Meridean", Caleb said. "Meridean? Didn't you say that Aldarn told you to take a break", Taranee asked. "Yes...but I'm going anyway", Caleb said quickly. There was silence. "No you're not!", Taranee stood up with a grin on her face. "I just read your thoughts!", Taranee laughed. "TARANEE!", Caleb exclaimed with anger. "He's actually going to spy on Cornelia and Jason", Taranee smiled. "Oooooh!", everyone giggled. "Taranee, you're so awsome", Irma got off the counter and held out her hand for a high-five. Taranee gave her a high-five. Caleb crossed his arms. "Don't worry, Caleb. We totally understand. We can help you spy!", Hay Lin jumped up. "Um...", Caleb looked around. "Yeah, it'll be fun", Irma grinned. "Oh, fine, whatever", Caleb finally gave in. "Alright! Let's do this girls!", Will laughed.
Everyone went outside and looked at Cornelia's blond hair moving side to side as she walked. "Ok, there she is, let's sneak quietly so she won't see us", Irma said. "Or-", Will took out the Heart of Candracar, "-we could turn invisible". "Ugh, why didn't you mention that before!", Hay Lin laughed. The Heart of Candracar let out hot pink rays, turning the girls and Caleb invisible. "This is so cool!", Irma giggled. "Yeah, but we gotta go now. Cornelia's moving fast", Taranee pointed. They started to run quietly towards Cornelia. Will was in front, but didn't see Cornelia right in front of her. She gave a sudden hault, but it was so sudden that the others crashed into her. Cornelia almost fell, "Hey watch-", Cornelia turned back and stared into thin air. No car was passing, and no person was walking except for her. Cornelia's hands started to tremble. "Who's there?", she said. She backed up and then started to run. "Nice going, you guys", Will said. "Sorry!", everyone whispered.
They ran, cautiously, after Cornelia. When they saw Cornelia's blond hair again, they saw that she we as walking again. She went up the few pair of stairs on knocked on the door. Jason opened the door, Cornelia and Jason started to laugh. "Ok, now's our chance, let's go!", Will whispered. The gang ran quietly next to Cornelia. "Well, Miss Hale, come on it", Jason stepped aside to let her in. Oh no! If we go in first, they're gonna feel us. If we go second, Jason will slam the door on our faces...umm!, Hay Lin thought. Hay Lin grabbed a penny from the ground, walked behind Cornelia, and threw it at her. "Ow!", Cornelia rubbed her head and looked back. The gang went inside. "Nice thinking, Hay Lin", Taranee said. "Thanks", Hay Lin giggled.
Just at that moment, Jason and Cornelia went inside. "You sure you're ok?", Jason asked. "Yeah, I'm fine", Cornelia assured. "Ok, so anyway, my dad and I went over to buy the materials we need...", Jason led Cornelia into the big kitchen. "Wow, nice kitchen", Cornelia looked around. "Haha! Thank you", Jason laughed briefly. Caleb felt like punching him then and there, but he couldn't; he knew it wouldn't be right...and besides, he would scare his true love because something invisible hit him.
"Ok, Caleb, so far so good. Just make sure you keep quiet", HayLinwhispered to Caleb. Only they could see each other, no one else could. "Yeah, we just gotta- Driiiiiiing! Driiiiiing!",Irma's phone rang really loud.Irma reacted quickly and tried to cover it. "What was that?", Cornelia said frightend. Jason also turned back.Irma bit her lip, the phone was still ringing under her hand. Jason went into the living room, where the noise was coming from, and stood in the center. "My dad isn't supposed to be here until 8...and my mom is out of town", Jason explained. Cornelia walked slowly towards Jason. "Are you sure? Don't you have any brothers or sisters?", Cornelia whispered. "One little brother, Sora, he's 6 years old. But he's with my dad for "Bring your son to work day". I didn't wanna go cause I told him we were doing the project", Jason explained.
Finally, Irma's phone stopped.Irma sighed quietly.Will felt a frighened hand touch her shoulder. Will saw that Taranee poked her, but didn't keep her eyes away from her feet. She looked scared. "What is it, Taranee?", Will whispered. Taranee's shivering hand pointed to her feet. Will looked down to see a spider crawling up her feet. "No no no, Taranee. Don't look down. Just stay calm", Will grabbed her shoulders. Taranee whimpered silently. The gang also looked and bit their lips. Taranee was shaking, she hated spiders so much.
"Jason!", Cornelia held on to his arm. Jason turned red. "Look at that spider! It's crawling up on nothing!", Cornelia paniced. Caleb turned red with fury, I'm the only one that Cornelia holds on to, pal! Back off!. Caleb wanted to stomp, but he walked towards Taranee. With his foot, he got it off her leg and dragged it (with his foot) somewhere else. Taranee sighed with relief. Cornelia's face went blank. "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!", Cornelia screamed and went through the door. Jason also shrieked and went with her. He locked the door, leaving the others inside.
"Ugh, the spider ruined it", Irma groaned. Will turned them visible again. They all saw Caleb's mad face, "It's all the stupid spider's fault! Now Jason thinks Cornelia is into him...is she?". Caleb looked like he was really hurt. "Of course not! Caleb, just met him 2 days ago. And you and Cornelia have known each other for months now. 2. Cornelia hasn't mentioned him, ever! We had a slumber party yesterday, and...I'm not supposed to say this, but...all she talked about was you", Hay Lin said. "Me?", Caleb's face lit up a little. "Yes! She always talks about how she would love to spend the rest of her life with you, and how brave you are, and bla bla bla, she never stops yapping", Irma said. She put her hands on her hips. Caleb sighed in relief, "Did she really say all those things? Does she really...want to be with me for the rest of her life?". "She sure looked like she meant it", Will grinned.
"Hey, so who called you anyway, Irma?", Hay Lin asked. Irma got her cell phone, "Oh no! The pizza! We forgot all about it". Everyone groaned. "We've got bigger problems. We're stuck in here!", Taranee tried to open the door. "Is Cornelia still outside with Jason?", Hay Lin asked. Taranee poked her head and looked out the window. "They're looking the other way. It looks like Jason is on his cell phone", Taranee bit her lip. "How are we going to get out now! My dad is probably gonna show up. If he sees that I'm not home, I'm gonna go bye-bye!", Irma shook her head in grief and frustration. "Wait, no we don't", Will smiled. "You know how Jason has a little brother? We could call his cell phone, and say that it was only him", Will explained. "But, we don't know his number", Taranee said. "But Cornelia does", Will picked up Cornelia's cellphone that she left on the counter. The gang smiled wide.
"Ok, since none of us have deep voices...", Will looked at Caleb like the rest. "Oh come on! I'm not gonna pretend to be a little boy!", Caleb complained.
50 seconds later...
"I cannot believe I'm gonna pretend to be a little boy", Caleb crossed his arms. "Ok, we're dialing the number, ok? Just say whatever I write down (cause they were gonna put it on speaker)", Will put Cornelia's cell phone on the counter and pressed Jason's number. The girls huddled up. Will had a paper and pen, Caleb cleared his throat, and the girls looked giggly.
"Hello?", Jason said. Will wrote something down. Caleb read it, "Jason, I'm scared. I'm at home cause dad left me here 2 hours ago, and I was taking a nap, and I heard someone scream", Caleb really DID sound like a 6 year old. "Sora? Why are you calling from Cornelia's cell phone?", Jason asked. Will quckly wrote down something. Caleb read, "Who's Cornelia? I just found this phone when I came to the kitchen. Where are you?". "Um...I'm right outside the house. It was Cornelia who screamed, she got a little scared because she...saw a bug", Jason said quickly. "You're at home, right Sora?", Jason asked. "Guys, Jason is looking at the door! I think he's gonna come it", Taranee whispered loudly. Will wrote down on her paper. Caleb read, "No, I'm with dad. I started to run to his office. I saw the phone and I called you from there". "So you took Cornelia's phone?", Jason asked.
Will was getting herself tangled in a knot of lies, but kept writing. Caleb read, "Yeah, sorry". "Sora! Ugh, oh fine, pass dad to me", Jason said. Will's eyes turned wide with an idea, she began to read. Caleb read, "I'm actually at home already...?". Caleb looked confused at her. Will took out the Heart of Candracar. She quickly ran towards the living room, got a picture of a little boy with red/brown hair and green eyes...Sora. She focused on it, and stretched out the hand with the Heart of Candracar. An astrol drop of Jason's little brother appeared. The girls and Caleb went over there. "Sora?", they heard Jason ask. "He's coming inside!", Taranee said. Will made them invisible, "He's programmed to know everything that was going on, give him the cell phone!", Will ordered. Caleb passed the astrol Sora the pink and green phone.
Jason came in to see his little brother with the cell phone. "Dang, Sora, you're really confusing", Jason said. Cornelia came in as well. "Are you sure the ghosts are gone?", Cornelia asked, looking around. "Yeah, I mean, Sora is ok. So I thnk it's fine", Jason smiled. "Who are you?", Sora asked. Will bit her lip, Except he doesn't know what his big brother looks like! "Haha! Whatever Sora", Jason moved his hair around playfully. "No seriously", Sora asked. Jason backed up. "He's not usually like this, Cornelia, I don't know what's wrong with him", Jason said. Cornelia's eyes went wide, and then became furious. "Jason, I'd like to have a chat with your brother, do you mind?", Cornelia's eyes never left Sora's. "Um...ok", Jason went upstairs and closed his door.
Cornelia went next to him. "Hi! You must be Cornelia", Sora smiled. Cornelia put her hand through his stomach, his image disappeared, "Just as I thought; and astrol drop. Alright, you guys, where are you?", Cornelia crossed her arms. Will and the rest suddenly appeared in front of her. "What are you doing here?...Wait, don't tell me you were the ghosts", Cornelia said. "Yeah...we were", Hay Lin said. "Why were you spying on me? You scared the heck out of me", Cornelia put her hands on her hips. "We didn't mean it, Cornelia! Honest. Jason was just-", Taranee looked at Caleb, "-a little too friendly. He really likes you". "Yeah...", Cornelia's face looked frustrated. Irma looked at Caleb and back at Cornelia, "And...you don't like him right?". "No", Cornelia said seriously. Ok, so she's not lying. The girls were right, Caleb thought with a smile.
"Cornelia? Are you done?", Jason asked faintly. "You guys better go, before he sees you", Cornelia smiled. The girls changed back and ran out the door. Caleb ran after them, but stopped to look at Cornelia from the door. Cornelia smiled longingly. Caleb stretched his arm towards her, but then smiled and ran after the girls. "Cornelia? Hey where'd my little brother go?", Jason came down from the stairs. "He said that he was gonna go back to your dad's office. He said that he'll see you later", Cornelia smiled. "Oh, alright then. It's gettng late, don't you think we should finish this on Monday or something?",Jason asked sweetly. "Yeah, you're right. We'll start this later, but this time, at my house", Cornelia laughed silently. "Yeah, that'd be a good idea", Jason blushed. "Alright, then I'll see you on Monday, ok?", Cornelia stopped on her way to the door. "Ok, bye Cornelia", Jason waved sweetly. Cornelia smiled and left the door.
