"And today class, we shall learn about. . ."
blah blah blah. Why did I take Chemistry again? Evelyn thought. Finally the class ended and freedom was hers. As she walked the campus, the sun shone on her light brown hair. She had recently moved from Canada back to England to finish her last semester before she graduated. Finally, she reached the arts building only to find her class had been cancelled. She turned around and made her way to work. Evelyn had been lucky enough to get a job at a music/dress store called 'The Witching Hour' .
"Hey Evelyn." shouted a girl at the front desk.
"Hey Marie. It's busy in the dress shop today."
"Some sort of school dance. How come you're not at school?"
"Class got cancelled. I guess I should peep in and see if Dani needs any help."
Walking in, Evelyn was met with chaos. Girls lined the walls of the store and were fighting over dresses everywhere. Sighing, she walked over to the intercom speaker.
"HALT" she shouted and the whole shop came to a stand still. The manager, Dani, a woman about thirty years of age, ran over.
"They're insane, Eve."
"Relax, I'll take care of it." Dani left and Evelyn grabbed the speaker again.
"Listen up. We're going to do this organized and as calmly as possible. If you need help, come find me. My name is Evelyn. I'll be your help for today." and the shopping started up again.
Evelyn browsed the store a bit looking for people to help when she noticed a girl with flaming red hair and another girl arguing.
"Can I help you ladies?"
The girl with the red hair said, "My friend needs a dress, but she's stubborn."
Evelyn turned to the girl. "What kind of dance is this? Is it formal or casual?"
"It's a masquerade." the shy girl answered.
"What color is your mask?"
"Blue."
Evelyn led the two down the dress racks until she stopped. She pulled out a one strapped light blue dress that shimmered when the light hit it the right way.
"Oh Hermione. It's beautiful." Ginny said.
"It is." Hermione agreed.
"I'll make you a deal on it." Evelyn said.
"Alright." Hermione replied.
Finally, everyone was gone. Evelyn was cleaning up when Dani came into the shop.
"Interesting news."
"What?"
"You won't be taking chemistry ever again."
"Why not?"
Dani turned on the television.
"No one knows what caused the attack. A chemistry teacher at Leeds University, Mr. Kinkle, was found murdered in his classroom today. A mark was also found at the scene in the shape of a skull with a snake's tongue. More after this commercial." the TV blared.
"So much for Chem." Evelyn replied, shocked.
