We now continue with the second half of chapter 3.

"No way. He's a witch." I say.

"No way. That must've broke some kinda record." Diego says

"What kind?" asked Daniel

"Probably world. He probably broke a world record." Diego says

"Wow, I guess all that training this summer paid off," Jax says. He tells some bogus story about training with a yeti suit. Just as he and the others walk away to get changed, I pull him back.

"I saw you," I tell him.

"Saw me what."

"You know. With the…" I say, adding arm waving and noise effects.

"I don't know what you're talking about," before turning and starting to walk away.

"I know that you're a witch," I say to him.

He quickly turns and says, "Wizard. I'm a wizard."

"I knew it. You cast a spell on yourself to cheat."

"How do you know that?" he questions

"I saw it with these." I tell him.

"Wait, are those Spell Vision… where'd you get those."

"It doesn't matter. What does matter though, is that you cheated. Now, I'm gonna report you to the wizard council."

"No you won't."

"What do you mean I…"

"You can't. Because you need my help," he tells me.

"What are you talking about?" I ask

"Oh please, you saw pack mule's face at lunch. He was glaring at me like I'd turned his outfit into a clown suit."

He wasn't wrong.

"Yeah, well so what?" I ask.

"Connect the dots. I was sitting down, and then you come and sit at my table. Then we spent the rest of lunch talking, and when I leave, he's glaring at me as I walk away."

Now, normally, I'm quick to pick up on things. But this was something that I just didn't think was true.

"Oh, come on. He's jealous. He thought that there was something going on between us, so he got jealous."

I wanted to doubt his theory, try to puncture holes into it until it collapsed. But unfortunately, the theory seemed to make sense. It also explained the weird conversation earlier.

"Even if that's true, which I'm not saying it is, what does that have to do with me needing you?" I ask.

"Because, I have a plan. And if it works, then we'll both end up winning."

Nervously, I ask, "What's your plan?"

"Well, if we pretend that there is something going on between us, then we can make Diego get so jealous, that he moves on from Maddie and finally see what's in front of him," he explains.

"Ok, I see. But how do you win in all of this?" I ask.

"Well, along with not alerting the Witches Council, you tell me about Emma. What she likes to do, what he likes to eat. Just stuff about her."

I have to admit, I didn't expect him to ask for that. But I can see in the back of his eyes that he's hoping. Hoping I say yes and tell him stuff about Emma.

"I don't know…" I say.

"Oh, come on. Look at it this way. If we do manage to get Diego to realize his feelings for you, than you get your long time crush. All I get is some information about Emma. That doesn't mean that she'll like me. So no matter what, you come out a winner."

I thought about what he said. Normally, in any other case, I'd punch a guy like this in the face for trying to make a move on my best friend. But behind his macho, bad boy image, he actually cares about Emma. If he cares that much for her, then he at least deserves a shot.

"All right, it's a deal."

He smiles, "Perfect. Now here's what we'll do first…"

Chapter 3 Part 2 is complete.
