POV Narrator:

As promised Laura's friends made sure to keep in secret that Laura had just won the British Broom Racing Tour, also part because they didn't have time to tell all the academy, that day of Saturday, Eleanora and April stayed most of the time making relations between the two, Bernadette and Laura stayed in the red team's room playing videogames, Rosemary spent most of the time just reading some books or going out to smoke, but always kept a low profile, since she wasn't much of a gossip spreader, for Laura's happiness.

That night McLaren had a brilliant idea, which she would use the next day, calling the girls to go out with her and have some fun, after all, they were too stuck in that room, just playing videogames, she did not say what it was yet, that she would only tell them the next morning, What was leaving Bernadette and Rosemary curious to know what it was about, that night the Cavendish even passed in the room of the red team to know as soon as possible, sleeping in Laura's bed, since April wouldn't come back the same day to that room.

Sunday, September 13, 1987

Sunday dawns at the Luna Nova gym, the second Sunday of Laura McLaren and Bernadette Cavendish at the witches' boarding school, that morning at nine o'clock, Cavendish is the first one to wake up and she is soon getting ready doing the personal hygiene and other things, besides getting a few peeks at Laura that was sleeping, but was letting a little bit of her buttocks show with the panties that she was wearing under the nightgown. After she sleeps, the Scot goes to her and wakes up McLaren giving her some touches.

POV Laura:

I was dreaming. What the fuck is this kissing the cabbage and saying I love you? I can't believe I dreamed something like that... I'm afraid it's real... Fuck... Fuck you... For the nine lesbian witches ... I was awakened- By Cabbage? Oh no! Don't give me any sign of that! You stupid heart! I won't fall in love with Bernadette! Oh but it's just a dream, it's not like I'm going to be with Bern, we have nothing to do, I'm probably not even the kind of girl she likes.

- Wake up, wake up, freckles, I want to know what surprise you have for us today. - Surprise, shit, I didn't even wake up... Oh that's it, now I remember.

- Hmmm... Okay, but can you fucking wait! - I reply to Bernadette with "kindness."

- So kind... A horse would be envious of such kindness - Answers the cabbage, trying to be in the same measure, it's amazing how she is so neat even to answer me, it's even funny.

I get up all at once and without wanting to, I end up giving the cabbage a "slap" on the face that falls on the floor and with that I even apologize and rub the back of my head, but it was okay, from what I saw Bern was fine, so I go to the bedroom, get my clothes, I change and after doing my personal hygiene I go to the closet where I get my racing stuff, which was my racing suit, helmet, balaclava and gloves, I turn everything into a shrunken keychain which leaves the cabbage somewhat confused wanting to know what it was all about.

- What is all this? - asked the cabbage.

- We're going out today, have you gone go-karting yet? Because today is the day we're going to do it, I'm just getting my own stuff because I'm not going to fucking use what they offer at the karting tracks, I'm not crazy. They wash the balaclavas very badly, and helmets are for personal use, you don't know which head that helmet went through before, the same about the gloves and the chest protection they offer It doesn't fit on me - I say to Bern who even starts to laugh a little when I talk about the chest protection.

- Oh also, I already know why it doesn't fit, but if that's so then I'll buy helmets, gloves, these new things just for me, you help me with that, before we go out with the girls, after what you said I was afraid even to use - Said the cabbage which makes me shrug.

- The girls won't be up that early - I say, shrugging my shoulders.

- But hey! I'm going on my broom! I don't care if the cow coughs, I'll ride in your ride! I don't want to die - said the dramatic girl, which made me giggle.

POV Narrator:

Laura and Bernadette go to the town of Blightonbury, where they go through the stores, until they find a car parts store and from there Cavendish is choosing a helmet to take, one that caught the Scottish girl's attention was a black one with some details of flames and skulls, which surprised McLaren when she saw that she had picked a helmet that was very contrary to the idea that the Irish girl had about her. McLaren had a helmet that looked very similar to her racing hat. It was black with some stripes that went through the dark void, stripes of yellow, red and orange colors, on the side of the helmet was written Laura McLaren in a cursive manner and a clover on the side.

Red gloves, very similar to Laura's, balaclava and the necessary chest protection to drive the kart, the full overalls were not totally necessary, as the Irish woman had said to the Scottish woman, so they both paid a little.

POV Bernadette:

Damn my stomach is rumbling now, I didn't eat anything when I left home... I swear I'm going to pass out from hunger if I don't eat anything here... I hope Laura... Oh, her stomach rumbled too, but where are we going to eat? I'll wait for Freckles to decide what to get us some food.

- I'm so fucking hungry... Hey Bern, what do you say we go to the Magic Burger, there's one nearby, the food is quick and filling - said Freckles talking about a "Magic Burger" that I've never heard of.

- What is a Magic burger? - I ask Laura.

- Come with me, I'll show you, it's really good, do you like hamburger? - She asks me about "hamburger" what is it? I've never eaten something like this before, if I'm not mistaken it appears in some books and my mother used to say that this was food for poor and fat people.

She quickly takes my hand and leads me to the place where this "Magic Burger" is, it was one of those fast food chains, my mother always told me I should stay away from that, but by the way Laura tells me, it seems to be such a good place, I imagine it is, but I soon smell fried food, I also take a look around, until the freckle girl snaps her fingers calling me.

- Hey! What can I get you? - Laura asked.

- I don't know Laura, I've never had a hamburger before... Seriously, my mother used to say that this is for poor and fat people... - I answer her, which makes Laura start to laugh.

- Poor and fat? Hahahaha! Your mother is a figure, this has nothing to do with it, maybe it's fat food, but poor people's food is very wrong to talk about, well then I'll order for you, I hope you like what I order... Just one question... Are you allergic to any kind of food? - She asked me after laughing a little at what I said.

- I am allergic to peanuts only, I can eat anything but things that have a little peanut in them, I might even die if they give me peanut paste to eat - I answer Laura.

She then gets up and goes to the counter to order a snack for her and me, I wonder what she is going to order for me, these fatty foods are good, but I am afraid that this will make me fat and my mom will find out that it is because of the way I am eating? Oh dear... I really need to be this thin, my ribs are showing up, man... I hate this. Soon she arrives with the trays with the food and it was quite fast.

- Okay, I brought you a cheeseburger since I figured it's the simplest and the ideal for those who have never had one before, I also ordered a juice for you and an apple pie, in case you don't like the snack, plus some potatoes and some nuggets. There is barbecue sauce, ketchup, mustard, mayonnaise, and anything else you can think of to spice up your snack - wow! So much stuff, this way my ribs will disappear, I think I will try it to see if it is that good.

I get the cheeseburger and I find something strange, there were no forks, until I see that Laura was eating with her hand... That's weird, my mom always said it was wrong to eat with the hand... I think I will tell Laura to find a fork and a knife for me...

- Laura sorry to interrupt... But... Don't you have a knife and fork here? - I ask Laura who swallows the snack and starts laughing, I don't understand why, I just asked a question, I didn't want her to eat in an indecent way.

- Refined cabbage, we eat a sandwich with our hands, if you want to, just wrap it with a napkin and eat, nobody here eats with a knife and fork, don't worry, here we eat like this anyway - Laura answers after about three consecutive minutes laughing at my face, oh, please, I didn't know... But now I understand.

I take the sandwich with my hands and take the first bite, feeling the taste of the meat and the chin, it was a little too roasted, but it was good, I admit that this kind of food is not bad, this cheese even goes well with hamburger, then I take the juice and drink it, It was a strawberry juice, Laura knew how to choose, then I'll try the other things, like those little potatoes smeared with cheddar cheese, from what I think, it was delicious, I didn't know that the combination was good, I also mix it with other sauces and try it. Well, if these foods are so bad, why are they so delicious? Now I understood why people who eat this kind of thing get fat, I would want to eat this kind of food all the time, it's much better than any refined dish from home, although Anna is not a terrible cook, but I eat so little, I have to eat little to stay slim, I don't know why that is, I don't get fat so easily, even more so when I was eating hidden ... Thanks to Anna who always left me some sweets in my room... If mom finds out she could be fired, I hope not, she is my favorite employee. But this snack is really good, I've never had something like this before, I feel like it's an explosion of flavor that I've never felt before, so good, so delicious... I'll want to come back here one day.

We soon finish eating and Laura takes the trays to the trash can, then back to the table, where she smiles at me and gives me her hand to get up.

- Hey, did you like it? - asked freckles.

- It's really good, we can eat here more often, I've never had this kind of meal before, never before have I felt so full, thank you Laura, you are a very nice person - I say this hugging her, I really loved the experience.

POV Narrator:

After this cute moment between Laura and Bernadette, the two go back to Luna Nova, it was already 11:30, what was a huge possibility that the girls were already awake, the two go to the red team's room and the only one that was there was Rosemary that was smoking and left the window open with an ashtray on the side, soon she heard Laura's scolding followed by a spell to throw water that put out Morris's cigarette, as usual, besides a spell to stop the smell. The Irish girl calls the bespectacled redhead to go out with her and go-karting, which the girl even accepts, then they go together to the yellow team's room to call for April.

The four of them were already awake, but still with the effect of the previous night, so they were all lying naked on the three beds that were joined into one, April gets up because she already knew who it was, she takes a sheet and rolls herself up in it, out of laziness to get clothes, the yellow team girls cover their bodies with blankets, also out of laziness, especially since there was an empty bottle of wine next to the bed which the four had drunk the night before. Jordan comes to the door and answers Laura.

POV Laura:

Oh finally, I thought they would only wake up tomorrow, how can these girls go to class like this, waking up so late? But fuck it, from what I saw April had a good time last night and what is this breath? Did she drink? What the fuck man, April doesn't drink, this Eleanora is doing my friend's head a lot, ah, but fuck it too, if you want to drink, drink, as long as you don't do anything wrong.

- Good morning... Why did you call me so early like this? - Said the stick with a headache and covering her body with a sheet, no one is seeing these bite marks on her collarbone girl.

- I wanted to call you to go out for a while, we're going to go go-karting, if you want to go, you can go with us, but if not, that's fine - I answer her clearly.

- Kart, I'm up! We're just going! Can we go with the girls from the yellow team too? - said April with her hand on her head.

- Kart? I heard Kart? I want to go! Hey Naomi! Hey Velma! Shall we go? - Said Eleanora from what I heard, I think they're going.

- So, that being the case, meet me at the Ley line square in Blightonbury, I hope you'll be there, until one o'clock in the afternoon, then we'll just go away, to the go-kart track, I'll stay at the square waiting and I'll check the maps to see if there are any go-karts nearby.

After this warning I went with Rose and Bern to the outside of the academy, from there we got the brooms and waited in the square, I took the chance and looked at the maps, where I saw the go-kart tracks that were around, until I remembered one that I went to, some years ago, it was in Bristol. After confirming the place I tell the girls where it was and we wait for a while until the girls finally arrive, but one of them comes to me, it was the blonde.

- Laura, I'm sorry, but I think I'll only be able to watch, because I don't have the money to go in the karts - said Eleanora, luckily I was charitable and full of money from yesterday.

- I'll pay, don't worry girl, I'll pay your entrance fee, we'll be there for a long time, now follow me, I'll show you where it is - I answer Eleanora and then I tell everyone else, I take my broom and go towards the track I had talked about, I fly towards Bristol with the girls, staying ahead and serving to direct them, the problem is that they are very slow, I had to go very slowly.

After that we arrived at the circuit, I could already hear the roar of the engines, we soon paid our entrance fee, as I had all the equipment, as well as Bernadette, we paid less and with that I paid the entrance fee of all the girls, along with the rent of the safety equipment, miraculously, I go to the bathroom of that kartodrome that was in good condition and change, I put on my race suit that comes with the chest protection inside the clothes, so much so that I open the suit showing the owner of the kartodrome that it was with protection underneath, until someone approaches me.

- Hey, I recognize you from the color of your jumpsuit and the lack of height, are you Laura McLaren yourself? The Flying Leprechaun, haha, how ironic to see you here - Said a guy trying to play dumb with me.

- Don't you remember me? I'm Henry Robinson, we raced in the 1984 season, you haven't changed much in these 3 years, you just got a little more bulky and grew a little, but you are still the same, did you come here to race with your friends? I'm going to race too - said the guy who thinks he is, this son of a bitch didn't respect a blue fucking flag when I lapped him, and now he's trying to be my friend.

- Good luck then - he replies politely.

- How about we make this race interesting? You are no longer a child, your body already says so, you are even highlighted in this suit... How about a bet? If I win, you'll go out with me today. From what I imagine you must be 15 now, I'm already 17.

- How about you take it up your ass, respect me kid, I'm a fucking lesbian! - I answer him being short and thick, this time this son of a bitch will swallow every word he says, I will run beautifully today, I just wanted to play, but I will take it seriously.

- Oh, Laura, stop being so stingy. Are you a lesbian? With breasts that size? You can't be a lesbian with a body like that, it's a fucking waste, well, I guess I'll try my luck with your friends, since you're not into me - said the asshole, I was about to punch him in the face until Bernadette held my hand.

- Hey, don't be like that, don't pay attention to this jerk, let's have fun, I've already had a lot of fun with you today. I can't be like this... - She comforted me in an instant, thankfully the helmet didn't reveal my flushed face.

POV narrator:

As Henry himself said, he starts hitting on Laura's friends, but gets dumped by Rosemary, who had a boyfriend, then he goes to Naomi who says she also has a boyfriend, and on the third try he is pulled by Eleanora who just sends a "hey single cat?" the guy soon loses his lip to Maria White, who only calls him out after the race. He even agrees and says he would take her out for a motorcycle ride around town and then he would also take her out for something more interesting, still talking in a silly way. What the blonde already makes clear with a "If you're going to be a big guy, don't even go out with me," leaving Robinson a little embarrassed, but he soon resumes the "alpha male" pose.

A little later the girls are called together with other people who have signed up for that session, where an organizer explains the rules of the kart. The most basic ones were about flags. Yellow flag, attention, take your foot off, green flag means the track is clear, red flag, race is stopped, white flag means last lap, checkered flag means the finish line, blue flag means you should pass. After the flag explanation, came the race session, it would be 20 minutes of qualifying and 40 minutes of racing. In these 20 minutes the best times would be taken only in the last 5 minutes of the session, which would determine the starting grid. In addition, the choice of karts would be completely random. Very little is called out about the kart numbers. The start is given with lights, with the first row of red lights being lit, and when the bottom row of lights goes out, it is time to start accelerating.

POV Laura:

Number 27? Okay, I just hope that the curse of this number doesn't happen with Scuderia Carlucci, since I've never seen a Carlucci number 27 become champion, so let's go now, this go-kart has tires more or less and as far as I can see the steering is a little hard, but in the dry it's not that much of a problem, I'm going to have some fun, then one of the people who take care of the kart track will start the engine of my go-kart.

It's working pretty well, I'm waiting for the time to go by, until the green flag is given, and I start to take it easy. Soon, in three turns. This course I even remember, a hairpin after the pit lane, then a left turn into the tunnel followed by a slight right turn into a hairpin and then the opposite straight followed by another hairpin, a bridge, that even makes the kart bounce, then a left turn ending with a hairpin and then a slight right turn into the main straight, 47 seconds 981 miles, that's the time I did now, I calculated it in my head, so I figure each lap must take about 40 seconds... Cool, I got the hang of it on the first lap, I'm only behind about 3 people, I was behind 7 at the beginning and now I just have to keep going.

I'm going to test the limits of this track in these first few minutes, I don't want to go all out for now, if I start from pole position it's no fun, there's no one I can pass in the race, so I'm going to use this time to train for the race and then pretend to do badly in qualifying.

POV Bernadette:

Wow, it feels really good, this little thing is fun to ride, it's agile and fast, much nicer than riding, I control it very well even, for a first time, but Laura is what surprises me, she is right behind me, this is not the race yet, why does she run so much? That's strange, well, it's been fun, regardless of the position I'm loving this experience, it's very interesting.

POV April:

Oh fuck how loud these fucking things are, because I was inventing to drink yesterday, I'm hung over today, but at least it's pretty fucked up to drive a go-kart, but what's the point? We are going to get our asses kicked by Laura, she doesn't even know how to play with us, look at her passing me, I don't even know where she took the space, it's such a tight curve and she passes me on the inside and still comes out the best, what a fucking fear, she has balls, she would be on my side in this tunnel, I'm not going to risk it, this is not the race, I even take my foot off because I'm afraid.

POV Rosemary:

Wow, these little things are really fast, I thought an experience like this was cool and fun, now I understand why Laura wanted to call us here, but it's very complicated, my arms hurt to hold this hard steering wheel, although I've never driven before, it must be similar, I'm just scared of the speed of it on the straight.

POV Eleanora:

That's fucking awesome, man! These things are really cool, I loved that McLaren called me here, she may not give that hot body to me, but she already won my friendship, gave me this experience of driving and still guaranteed me a date with the handsome guy that she snobbed saying that she is a lesbian, Jesus Christ, what bad taste, how can she not like a guy like that, he has a strong arm, he must have a tank under there and a big dick? But let's think about the race, first concentrate on the kart and then I'll think about concentrating on sitting.

POV Laura:

I've already learned all the tricks, overtaking places, and I've lapped countless times the girls, I even saw Rose spinning, in the dry it is very hard to spin, but I give a discount, it is her first time, now the 15 minutes of free practice are over, let's reduce a little, take the foot off and stay in last, I hope nobody will be that slow, I'll take laps of 47 seconds, this way I won't disturb the lap of anybody going slowly, come on Laura, then I'll make that Henry break his face, probably he will be the pole position, but he will end up being passed by the last one placed, just to tarnish the pride of the macho that these guys have haha.

After qualifying I did a lap of 47 seconds and 3 tenths of a second, no one could have done worse than me, so the flag is given and we get organized on the corner before the main straight, and are called to line up in the Grid. There were 18 cars on the track counting mine, so I would start from eighteenth position.

- Number 27! Eleventh position! - Holy shit! Who can be that slow? I was the slowest and safest I could be and I still didn't come out in the last position? Well, I guess fate didn't want to put me last, I position my kart exactly on the right line and speed up and warm up the engine.

Until the lights go on and then go off, I already have the best reaction and go out sewing the ones in front of me, from eleventh to seventh in the first turn, I was side by side with Bernadette that had an excellent position for someone who started to go karting. She is not afraid, we are side by side in the tunnel that has a minimum space for two karts... Shit, on the opposite straight she was on my side, I'm going to take advantage of the vacuum of who is in front of us and pass, the inside line is the best.

It was a beautiful overtake, we left that little guy in fifth position in the middle of the two of us at the curve for the bridge, as I was on the inside line I had the advantage, but even so Bern didn't leave my cola, she was on my side as soon as we arrived at the bridge, I already noticed that her kart has more engine, I have to compensate this with more technical turns, but she was on my side and it is a little complicated to force a line, so when we got to the hairpin in the main straight we were already close to take the vacuum from the fourth placed Naomi if I'm not mistaken, she also drove well to start in this position. We took the vacuum from her, until we reached the hairpin of the first corner and again I got the best line and stayed on the inside line and Bern on the outside line, trying to do the same as in the other corner, but that hairpin his secret was to stay on the inside line, since it was a bit wide. Bern is going to be in a bit of trouble wasting time passing Naomi, so that leaves a lane for me to really run.

And it was really left, fourth position was just a matter of time to be in the lead, bridge turn on the second lap, I move to third position, it was the kart number 11 it was a little boy, 13 years old if I'm not wrong, he was driving very well, he might have a nice future. In the third lap I move to the second position, just inside the tunnel, it was the kart number 91 and I didn't know who it was, I only know that he was afraid to pass through the tunnel side by side, if it is a boy, I think he doesn't have balls of steel. And finally he.

Henry Robinson, you must be feeling pretty fucked up in the first position, it only took me two laps to catch up, I noticed that the throttle on my kart was a little bit off when I started to drive for real, I had to pump the throttle and that killed my delicate and smooth acceleration, but that was no excuse, we are on lap 5 still in the first few minutes and I am already battling for the first position, I will play with him.

And that's what I did, I stayed about three laps following that idiot, just to see him make mistakes for pressure and I saw that he was making a lot of mistakes, but I didn't want to prolong it too much because I could lose time, so I started to make some threats, I did that for two laps, almost passing him, and he was in shock, until lap 11, which was about 9 minutes into the race, I passed him once and for all, I just look back and see him enraged trying to pass me.

So much so that when he gets to the first hairpin he hits my kart when he was braking for the corner and we both stop at the tire barrier, but he gets the worst of it and hits it head on, having to be pushed because there is no reverse. Fuck you, you dirty bastard! You dirty bastard, fuck you! I even showed him the middle finger, while I was turning my go-kart around that corner, and ended up losing only one position.

It didn't take long for me to recover and I was quickly on the back of the guy in kart number 11, also on this lap I noticed how well Bernadette was doing, that's incredible, she is very good indeed, well this race is already guaranteed to be my victory, I just have to drive as I always do. So much that I started to open in relation to number 11.

POV Bernadette:

Wow, this is really amazing! I have goose bumps until now! These things are really fast, I'm actually going pretty good, that go-kart that spun out must have been Laura's, I just know that after that she disappeared, I will try to hunt her down, but first I have to pass the number 11, this is so much fun man! I am loving every second of it... I don't know why, but Laura is being a very funny person, I'm really starting to like her... But I don't know, should I let these feelings go? Oh come on, I'll concentrate on the race! I'll try to win it from here.

POV Laura:

After that the race was very monotonous for 30 minutes, and I was lapping and lapping those behind, obviously I finished in the first position, and was just managing the kart, until the checkered flag came and as soon as I passed I just celebrated a little, As soon as I get there I get out of the kart and take off my helmet, I wait for the girls, the first to arrive is Bernadette who gets up and almost falls with her legs shaking.

- Wow! I am in shock! Man... This is amazing! This is magnificent! Now I understand all your adrenaline about being a broom runner! Laura, you know some pretty cool stuff - said the cabbage that was still struggling to stand up because of the adrenaline.

Soon the others arrived and we went to see the results, I obviously got the first position and even broke the track record, which made the kart manager look at me a little bit, after we got the papers, Eleanora says goodbye to us and goes with that piece of shit who was fourth, took about three laps of mine and has to go fuck himself, fucking asshole, I don't understand how this Eleanora has bad taste in people. But that's okay, it's her way. After this go-kart, we took the broom and went back to Luna Nova since it was Sunday and we had class the next day, but it was fun to take the girls, even more the reaction of the cabbage. I don't know why, but I enjoyed seeing her so happy, today was one of the coolest days of my life.

See you, karting witches...
