Locker Talks

Kaitlyn POV

I can't believe the Chosen One was acting like that. Isn't she supposed to be the queen of glitter and kindness or something? Eh, at least I get to spend the night with Andi. She's the first friend I've made since Aubrey, who stayed in Arizona for kanay training. Yup, I know a kanay, so I also know about witches and wizards. Aubrey was my bff, until the training camp cut off all communication. Which totally sucked by the way. Maybe Andi can be my new bestie. She even knows about magic. But she doesn't know I know yet. So that sucks.

I can't believe that the Chosen One's boyfriend tried to destroy the magic realm. Or that he's afraid of birds of all things. He needs to grow up.

In second period I sit by Andi. Ugh, calculus. Andi and I both groan at the same time, then laugh. The teacher turns around and gives us the shut up or you have detention look. We sober up quickly.

Halfway through the lesson I hear a small piece of folded paper hit my lap. I look to see a slightly nodding Andi, signalling to open it. I unfold it to find a note.

Bold and italics = Andi Bold = Kaitlyn

Hey Kai. You ready for tonight?

We decided to have a sleepover tonight, and play Zombie Apocalypse 4. Apparently her boyfriend knows a guy. She canceled a sleepover with Emma. I told her that wasn't necessary, but she said she wouldn't mind. I find that doubtful.

Wouldn't miss it if the world was burning.

I toss the note back to her. She opens it and snickers before replying and tossing it back.

Good. Be there at 5, Kay.

Ok

Right as she reads my reply the bell rings. We grab our books and rush out of there like mice. I think it's safe to say we both loathe caluclus. Andi and I part ways to go to our lockers, and I find a certain Australian wizard opening his. Right next to mine. Oh great.

He turns to face me and shuts his locker, holding his books with crossed arms. Geography, great we have next period together. Note the sarcasm.

"What is wrong with you." He spats, glaring at me as I open my locker. I grab my books and turn to face him.

"What the heck are you talking about? I haven't done anything." I spat back, still genuinely confused.

"I'd hardly call barging in here and causing Emma's best friend to blow her off nothing." He sneers.

"Oh please, Andi said she was fine with it." I snap. It couldn't have hurt Emma that badly, it's just one night.

"I'd hardly call crying in the hallway once Andi left nothing. Don't believe me? Ask anyone with algebra for second period how many questions the girl that answers every one she can answered. Zero! At one point Mrs. Jones asked everyone to leave so she could ask Em if she needed to get a checkup from Nurse Lily!" He continues, sounding so heartbroken that Emma was hurt. He loves her so much it's nauseating.

"Look. I told Andi that she didn't have to blow her off. She insisted. I never meant to cause trouble for Emma. So get your facts straight Birdman." I snap a little, stomping off to my next class. And of course he follows, since there is only one route to the geography room. This will be a loong class.

Andi POV

I walk off to my locker to find Emma, staring at hers, crying and talking to hex. I hold a finger to my lips, signalling for him not to mention me.

"...And I know I'm over reacting, but next year we may not get to do this sleepover. We'll be in college, and we might be in different ones. I just can't help feeling like I hate Kaitlyn, you know."

She stops talking when hexie says something. Em sighs and frowns.

"Okay fine, strongly dislike, better?" She asks. I choose that moment to walk around the corner. I'm a little mad at myself. Of course she's hurt, but I'll make it up to her. We'll scrapbook and I'll let her give me a makeover. I'll want to die, but it will make her feel better.

"Hey Em." I say, trying to look casual. She puts on the same fake smile she had when I blew her off. How did I not realize it before?! I'm a terrible best friend.

"Oh hey Andi." She says, grabbing her English books. I grab mine and shut my locker.

"So, tomorrow night do you wanna do our sleepover?" I ask, sounding peppy. She smiles and nods. I knew that would work.

"Great, and I'll even let you give me a makeover." Her eyes widen and she squeals. I laugh and walk with her to English class. It doesn't matter who comes along, Em and I stick together. Always have, always will. And no new girl can ever change that. In a day at least.

Emma POV

When Andi offered to let me put makeup on her I couldn't help it, I squealed. I was humming to myself all the way through English and I was back to being on top of of with the questions. People who have algebra with me looked at me like I was crazy. But I was barely doing my work last period, so it makes sense. I'd stare at me too.

By the time lunch rolls around I've been to English and Geography. Everyone is staring at me like I've gone loony. Loony is an old term people back in Philadelphia use.*

I sit at the table with my lunch, still humming. I can't help it. Andi offered to let me put makeup on her. She must feel guilty. I hope she didn't hear my talk with hexie, that would make me seem like a jealous jerk. I doubt it though, Andi is a call it out kind if girl.

I'm brought out of my thoughts by Jax coming over and sitting across from me. I smile impossibly wider. I'm in a much better mood now.

"Well look who decided to cheer up." He teases with a smile. I giggle in my throat and shrug, not wanting to embarrass Andi. If Jax knew that she agreed to let me put makeup on her she'd never hear the end of it.

"Probably because I agreed to let her put makeup on me tomorrow night." Andi says, flopping down in the seat to my left. Jax cuts her a funny look.

"Who are you and what have you done with Andi Cruz?" Jax teases, a little serious. Andi rolls her eyes.

"Em, do me a favor and slap him." She requests.

"No. Now can everyone please be civil for the duration of lunch." I ask in a condescending tone. They nod.

"I hope so." A voice that belongs to none of us says, sitting in the only empty seat left. An ice cold frost materializes in my throat and I turn my head to the one person who could wioe that massive grin off my face.

Kaitlyn...

Dun Dun DUN! Cliffhanger. So I hope you liked that chapter, because Emma might not be that happy soon. And looks like the new girl knows about them. Ponder that! XD

* I don't even know if that's true, I just made it up. Lol.

Peace out Jemmas!
