3rd Circle – Mandy
The fresh breeze blowing across the campus made it hard for Mandy to walk. She was wearing high heels and a knee length skirt, and the wind wasn't gentle towards her legs. But it was finally Friday and the first four days of College are over. Thre only problem she hadn't any time to relax. She was looking for Laya, she was the last person from the sorority she had to invite to the party she was planning. She hoped that the party would grant her way into the sorority. And getting good recommendations from a strong member like Laya is the only thing she could've think off. She forgot about the wind and walked straight across the campus. Finally she saw Laya talking to a couple of girls in sorority clothes. She loved the fresh yellow color her hopefully fellow sisters were wearing. She approached.
Mandy: Hello girls. How are you?
They've smiled.
Laya: Hi Mandy. We are good. So what is this party I'm hearing about?
Mandy: Yes I throwing it tomorrow. I approached so I could invite you as well.
Laya: Uhh that is pretty short term. I don't know if I can make it.
Mandy: Really? I was looking for you the last 2 days but I couldn't find you anywhere.
Laya: I'm just kidding. The girls alerted me already I will attend gladly.
Mandy: Great. Your boyfriend is invite as well of course.
Suddenly Mandy heard someone screaming her name. She turned fast and realized it was Michael. He and Pier were coming from a class together.
Mandy: Hi ! What are you doing here!?
Michael: We went to the library Pier leazed some bocks.
Mandy: Of course you didn't take any.
Michael: Yeah yeah. Jibber jabber. Better introduce me to your good looking friends.
Mandy: Girls, this is my annoying brother Michael.
The girls smiled. Like most girls they were infatuated by Michael. Her brother was a really ladies man or man whore like she would call it. Michael and Pier introduced themselves to the girls.
Pier: Nice to meet you again Laya.
Laya: Pier isn't it? You are Dijana's boyfriend. Where is she!? I didn't see her for quite a while.
Pier: We should meet up in 5 minutes. Her schedule is quite full.
Michael: They are inseparable, your friend stole my friend. We could keep each other company.
Mandy: Mike don't be such a douche. Laya has a boyfriend.
Laya: And honestly I doubt would enjoy your company.
Michael: You can try it, I promise you won't regret it.
Pier: So Laya did you see Adenah maybe I didn't hear from her for some days.
Michael: 3 days 13 hour and 15 minutes to be accurate.
Pier: Shut up Mike. So did you?
Laya: No. The last time I saw her it was Monday evening she looked bad. We greated and that's it. So I have to rush. See you guys tomorrow.
Laya and the 2 other sorority girls left. Mike took Mandy and Pier under their arms and turned them towards the sun. They walked down the campus.
Michael: So we didn't practice the last 4 days and I miss it. What will we do with that?
Pier: Nothing. We agreed to keep it low. I'm creeping out they didn't found that hunter already.
Mandy: Pier is right. We should meet up with Ade and Frank and bind the circle.
Michael: No no no. I don't want to depend on you when I want to practice.
Pier: But the hunters know we are practicing and this huge amount of magic in the air won't calm them down. I agree with Mandy we should bind the circle.
Michael: You're just bitching 'cause Ade won't return your calls. You can't bind the circle without me.
Mandy: But I'm sure Pier and Frank can make you. Especially Frank.
Michael: Don't start Mandy. His perfect Latin spell makes him unpredictable but not undefeatable.
Pier: Yeah yeah. Can we change the subject. We will talk about this after we gather the circle.
Mandy: You're right. So remember the theme for the party is Yellow and White.
Dijana: What party?!
Micheal, Pier and Mandy turned it was Dijana. She approached Pier and kissed him on the lips. She wanted to step back but Pier wouldn't let her and they kissed again. Mandy rolled her eyes.
Michael: Nasty. Remember you 2 are on in public.
Pier and Dijana let each other go. They smiled.
Michael: I believe we didn't met I'm Michael, Pier's best friend.
Dijana: Nice to meet you. But isn't Ade his best friend.
Michael: Yeah things change.
Dijana: Hi Mandy.
Mandy: Hi Dijana. So I have to go. See you tomorrow Pier. Dijana tag along if you want.
Mandy put her hair behind her ears and walked away.
Dijana: Thank you for the invitation. Where am I invited to Pier?
Michael: To my apartment.
Dijana: Really!?
Michael: Yeah, Mandy is throwing a party to impress some sorority girls. And can't wait to see you, I mean the both of you there.
Michael scanned Dijana. He smiled. Dijana was feeling weird, she felt his eyes all over her body. Pier noticed it as well.
Pier: Okay so see you tomorrow Mike. I'm hungry and can't wait to grab a bite.
Dijana: Yeah I'm starving as well. Let's go Pier.
Michael: See you guys.
Dijana and Pier held hands and walked away.
The garden of the Boogle coffee shop was a great place to hangout, Frank was chilling on the Sofa as Adenah approached him.
Frank: Looking good.
Adenah: Don't tell me you are surprised!?
Frank: No just noticing. I already ordered.
Adenah: Okay. I'm going to order inside. I have to go to the toilet.
Frank: I will wait here or an inch to the left.
Adenah throw her bag to Frank's left side and let her jacket on the chair across him. She started moving towards the coffee shop entrance.
Frank: Nice throw.
Frank watched Adenah walk away and noticed Mandy coming from the other side of the street.
Frank: Looking good.
Mandy: Don't tell me you are surprised!?
Frank: No not really. What are you doing here?
Mandy: I came for a Machiato and then I have to rush.
Frank: You can take my if you want, I didn't even take a sip.
Mandy: Oh that would be great! How much do I owe you?
Frank: It is okay, I'm buying today.
Mandy: So this gesture earned you an invitation to my party tomorrow night.
Frank: Really. I will attend gladly. See you tomorrow.
Mandy: Yes, see you tomorrow.
Mandy took the paper cup of coffee gave Frank a kiss on his cheek and rushed away. Adenah watched the scene and after Mandy left set down on the chair across from Frank. She put a strange face together, put her cup on the table and left her eye brow.
Adenah: So was that Mandy walking away from you?
Frank: Yes. She was hurrying so I offered her my coffee.
Adenah: Really? Nice move but you have to work harder to get into that self absorbed pants.
Frank: Don't be mean. She's a nice girl she even invited me to a party tomorrow.
Adenah: You too? Don't tell me you're planning to go?
Frank: She invited you as well, great. Of course we will go. Circle duty.
Adenah: Yeah right.
Frank: I know you're still mad at Michael and Pier but I don't see you as someone who holds a grudge. And I noticed how much you miss Pier.
Adenah: Me missing Pier? No way?
Frank: Yeah right. Do you think I didn't notice all those punch lines you're throwing at me?
Adenah: Never thought you were so delusional!?
Frank: I get being mad but holding that big of a grudge towards your childhood best friend not the nice way. Just saying!
Adenah: I know but I can't stand Mike and his power hunger. And don't make this all about me, why aren't you best friends with Pier.
Frank: I barely see him, and we don't talk much. Do me a favor and join me at the party and just talk with Pier.
Adenah: I will think about it.
Frank suddenly felt his phone vibrate, he pulled it out of his pocket and unlocked it. He got a text from "Y": "Answer my call, you can't dodge me forever". He put his phone away and started dressing his jacket.
Frank: Sorry I have to go. Family emergency!
Adenah: Family? I didn't know you had family here.
Frank: No. I have to do something for my Mom. Sorry to leave you hanging. See you later.
Adenah: Alright see you.
Adenah was weird out, what happened all of the sudden. What is he hiding from her? He barely talked about his live before College, but she didn't dare to ask. One more disappointment would be awful. She took out a book from her bag and enjoyed the sunny day.
Marin was walking up the stairs of the 9 floor high building. He hated that the elevator wasn't working. He was feeling awful, he killed before but the person he killed was a witch not a fellow hunter. He knew he did the right thing, he did the thing he had to protect his goal, to kill all the witches. He got intimidate by seeing how strong that one Witch was. But that is one more reason to go after them. Finally he reached the 7th floor. He had to return Natasha the cruid and give her a detailed report about that night. He knocked on the door waiting for someone to open it. It seemed like an eternity for him, suddenly a male voice came from behind the door.
Male Voice: Who is it?
Marin knew it was a code and he shouldn´t say his real name.
Marin: Buffy.
The door suddenly opened and a tall well suited guy was looking at Marin. He noticed he was older and intimidating as hell.
Lee: Enter fast. My name is Lee. Natasha is in the living room.
Marin: Nice to meet you.
Marin abruptly entered the apartment, not knowing what to think of this guy. He believed it could be a trap. Maybe the witches found Natasha and took over the place.
Marin: Sooo Lee. Why are you here!?
Lee: The council sent me to check on the situation. The last time a Circle gathered they killed 3 dozen of our hunters. And we won't history to repeat itself.
Marin: Oh so. Do you have a plan? How to kill these Witches they are pretty strong.
Lee: Now we will lay low, they are expecting an attack and we won't let them trap us. Enter Natasha is waiting for you.
Marin: Yes of course.
Marin entered the room and saw Natasha nervously playing with a pen in her hand.
Natasha: Close the door Marin and sit down, we have to fix this mess.
Marin closed the door took a deep breath and approached the chair across from Natasha.
The sun was setting down and Pier was enjoying the sunset with his new girlfriend. The bench in the campus park was well suited for the 2 of them. Dijana's legs were hanging over Piers.
Dijana: I can't believe Mandy is throwing a party just to get into a sorority.
Pier: That's Mandy. She does all things necessary to ful fill her dreams.
Dijana: Hmm you should kiss me before I get jealous again.
Pier looked at her and smiled profoundly. He tossed his head towards her just touching her soft lips.
Dijana: You tease. . . ! So should we buy matching outfits? Imagine us appearing there suited in the same colors.
Pier: Buy new clothes? Hmm I mean it's not that kind of a party.
Dijana: Please me and let's go shopping tomorrow.
Pier: Okay we'll see what happens tomorrow.
Dijana: It's a date. And hug me now I'm getting cold.
Pier: Whatever you want. Is that your or my cell?
Dijana: Oh it's my.
Dijana twirled out of Pier hug and set straight up. She started searching for her cell taking her whole purse out on the bench. Pier was stunned how many things could pack into his girlfriends purse. Finally she found her cell.
Dijana: Oh it's my mom. Just keep calm.
Dijana stud up and walked 3 steps away from Pier and their 7th heaven. Pier was still confused by Dijana's odd relationship with her family. He heard her arguing with her Mom, but as she turned he looked away down on the bench and noticed a golden Locket on the bench. An odd symbol was covering its front side. The symbol was similar to some of the writings he saw in some old books. He tried to touch the front side but got electrocuted. The locket fell on the ground. Dijana abrubtly approached the locket and took it from the ground. She hang up.
Dijana set down on the bench and exhaled loudly.
Pier: Everything okay?
Dijana: With my family it never is.
Pier: Can I do anything to help?
Dijana: Yes of course. Hug me again and let's enjoy this sunset. My problems will be there for some time but this sunset will past in a few moments.
Mandy watched the romantic scene happening across the park. She was jealous and she hated it. She loved the affection Pier was giving her. He having feelings for Mandy was no secret. She never wanted to be his girlfriend till she saw him being happy with Dijana. She knew it was sick and disturbed but she couldn't help herself.
Mira: Shouldn't you be at home and prepare your perfect party?
Mandy turned and saw her neighbor Mira standing in front of her
Mandy: What are you doing here?
Mira: It's not polite to answer with a question that kind of behavior won't get you far. Especially with the AlfaPi's
Mandy: What do you know about the AlfaPi's?
Mira: Enough to be in their admitting committee after one year of pledging.
Mandy: What?
Mira: You didn't know? How sweet? I've got an invitation to your party, I mean the whole sorority has, so you have to make a boom of that party or not even your Legacy will keep you in our Sorority.
Mandy: Am I wrong or do you have anything against me?
Mira: I don't know ask your brother if I should have. I have to go see you tomorrow.
Mandy was stunned she put her hair behind her ear and started walking away.
Frank was running around his room going over his shelves. He searched for a book, he didn't knew where he put it. Where did he put the one thing that can save him now. Suddenly he heard the door open it was Pier. Frank felt relief, he smiled.
Frank: Hello stranger!
Pier was surprised, Frank said hello and smiled at him. That was a new one.
Pier: Hello.
Frank: Nice to see you. I've got the feeling you're avoiding me.
Pier: No no. I'm just out of focus. Didn't think college would be this busy.
Frank: Yeah I know what you mean. I thought college would be more fun as well.
Pier: So I really hope you aren't mad at me anymore. Mike and I really overstepped a line last week.
Frank: Oh it's okay. I get it and I wasn't that mad at you. I was more intimidated by your powers. I was scared.
Pier: I'm glad we can start over. And Ade? Is she still angry?
Frank: I don't know. She is stressed out getting kidnapped really made her struggle. And she misses you.
Pier: Really? Great. I mean it's great she misses me not the stress thing. I really want to talk to her, about everything, Dijana, school, Mike.
Frank: Yeah tell me, what's the deal with Mike? Is he really so obnoxious or is he just over playing it?
Pier: No he is an okay guy but the only thing he is talking about is magic and power.
Frank: That could be dangerous, I was the first one to struggle with my powers, but after meeting Cassie I saw things much clearer.
Pier: Why? Was it that terrible?
Frank: Cassie got isolated from her circle she only had dark magic and the only thing she could think of was power and it was creepy.
Pier: Okay. Let's not talk about that, I can't handle circle stuff right now. I'll need a shower. Do you want to grab some dinner?
Frank: Of course. That would be nice.
Pier took a towel and underwear and entered the bathroom. Frank got up from his bed and continued to search after the book he hid.
Mandy entered her apartment and noticed her brother sitting in the living room with his iPad. She took her jacket of and walked towards him.
Michael: Hey sis! Already home?
Mandy: Hi! Yes I completed my tasks.
Michael: Great. Is there anything I can do?
Mandy: Yes, of course. You can stop messing with my sorority dreams.
Mandy made a move with her wrist and Michael's iPad flew out of his hands directly to her.
Michael: Hey what's wrong with you?
Mandy: What's wrong with me? Seriously? You slept with our neighbor, and I'm the one with problems? Really?
Michael: I believe that's none of your business.
Mandy: I would be the happiest girl on the world if it wasn't any of my business but Mira is in the admitting committee for my sorority and apparently she is pretty pissed cause you left her hanging.
Michael: Hee? Who is Mira?
Mandy: Are you really messing with me? Mira is our neighbor! How could you sleep with her without knowing her name?
Michael: She came over and we talked a bit and it happened. She knew what was coming. And how the hell should I know she was part of your sorority? She didn't wear yellow. (laugh)
Mandy: This is funny to you. I'm glad it amuses you.
Michael: Calm down Mandy it will be okay.
Mandy: Doubt it.
Michael: Just sit down. Let's go for some ice cream and everything will seem better.
Mandy laughed. She watched her brother trying to fix things and even though ice cream wouldn't do it but it wouldn't harm to try.
Mandy: Just give me 5 minutes and I will be ready.
Michael: Hurry please. Now I got hungry.
Frank and Pier were walking down the streets of Chicago, with a slice of pizza in their hand.
Frank: This tastes pretty good.
Pier: I know. I took Dijana yesterday here for lunch.
Frank: So this Dijana girl. It sounds pretty serious.
Pier: How serious can it be after 4 days of dating? I'm taking it slow.
Frank: Come on! This smile on your face tells a lot.
Pier: Okay. I wanna marry her.
Frank looked at Pier and smiled.
Frank: That's nice. But don't you need Ade's blessing?
Pier: Nice one. She already said she looks smoking so she only needs to meet her and node ironically ones.
Frank: Don't worry everything will smooth out tomorrow.
Pier: I hope so. Oh look there are Mandy and Mike.
Frank: Delightful.
Pier: Give them a chance. If you could give me one you can give them one as well.
Frank nodded even though he didn't like Michael at all. He understood everything Adenah told him about Michael cause her felt the same about Michael. He didn't trust him but he let his shield down. Frank noticed Pier was waving and Michael and Mandy saw them right away.
Pier: Hello guys. What are you doing here?
Michael: I messed things up so I have to buy Mandy ice cream. I'm surprised to see the 2 of you together.
Frank: Yeah we called it a truce. Does it bother you?
Michael: No of course not. My only wish is that the circle comes together.
Frank: I hope so.
Mandy: Come on guys. Let down this Alfa male fight. It resembles more like 2 Alfa snails fighting. It's ridiculous. Move on. Do you want some ice cream?
Frank: No thank you.
Pier: No I'm okay as well. So is everything ready for tomorrow?
Mandy: Yes of course.
Frank: I can't wait to attend.
Michael: Didn't know you were invited?
Frank: Yes I am. Mandy invited me today.
Michael: Nice. Pier let's get something to drink. You can wait for us in the park, if you want to hang out with us at all?
Mandy: Come on guys. Let's chill a bit.
Frank: I'm okay, but don't you have to meet up with Dijana?
Pier: No she cancelled me previously she is hanging with some girls from the dorm.
Mandy: Let's go Frank I see that bench is free.
Mandy and Frank stepped away. Pier looked at Michael. He noticed he was angry, but tried to hide it.
Pier: What's wrong now?
Michael: You sleeping with the enemy.
Pier: He isn't our enemy he is part of our circle and I don't know when you got that kinky but I'm still sleeping with women.
Michael: Ohh so you and that hotty Dijana already did it?
Pier: No. We hadn't have time and with us both living in dorms we hadn't the opportunity.
Michael: You should hurry things so she didn't think you aren't gay cause you certainly dress like you are.
Pier: Did I tell you that I don't appreciate your new found sense of humor?
Michael: Yes, but I don't care what traitors think.
Pier smiled.
Pier: Here take the money, go and buy something.
Michael: I'm okay it's my treat. 4 sparkling waters please will be okay.
Mandy was rushing through the McKinley park. Frank was just few steps behind.
Mandy: Hurry up Frank the bench is empty and I doubt it will be much longer.
Frank: I'm coming. Are you always so bossy?
Mandy: Of course, if I really want something.
Frank: We went pretty deep into the park. Pier and Michael won't find us right away.
Mandy: Exactly.
She turned and looked Frank into his eyes, a wicked laugh crossed her lips.
Mandy: So you and Pier are BFF's now? Will you be able to come to my party or are you going to throw a slumber party?
Frank: What's with your circle and sarcasm? Is he the 6th member?
Mandy: Hahahaha. No. I'm just asking. And it's our circle not mine.
Frank: If you say so.
Mandy: Look how the pond looks beautiful. Imagine how the water must feel?
Frank: Do you really want to feel it?
Mandy: What do you mean?
Frank: Come with me.
Frank took Mandy by her hand and pulled her along with him, they neared the pond where Frank started to take of his shoes.
Mandy: What are you doing?
Frank: A witchy way to skinny dip. Come on, take of your sneakers.
Mandy was stunned, she looked into Frank's eyes she saw passion and she couldn't resist his deep blue eyes. She just followed his lead, she untied her shoes and took of her socks.
Mandy: And what now?
Frank: Come. Enter the water.
Mandy: Okay. Are you sure this is a good idea?
Frank: Thrust me. Come into my arms like you wanted to dance with me.
Mandy slipped and fell into Franks arms. They were standing in the water with just their feet getting wet. His strong grip made her feel save. She looked up and just faded away in Frank's smile.
Frank: Are you okay?
Mandy: Yes of course. And this is it? Wet feet?
Frank: No. Start repeating after me. Water outside, pond inside.
Mandy followed Frank's lead, she repeated the simple sentence not expecting anything special. Suddenly she heard something, she turned around herself but no one around them was creating the noise. It got louder and more profound but it was calming her down. She look at Frank's face.
Frank: Do you hear me?
Mandy: What's happening? How can I hear you even though your lips are not moving?
Frank: We're connected to the pond. Every sound, every movement, every single leave that falls you will hear and feel.
Mandy: Tremendous.
Frank: Pssst. Just be silent and follow the flow.
Frank felt Mandy's grip got stronger, he couldn't remember when he felt so close to someone. Suddenly his thoughts drifted and he remembered Adenah, he was feeling something for her as well. He let Mandy out of his hug and made a step back. The spell broke and Mandy resurfaced from the spell.
Mandy: What's wrong?
Frank: Nothing. I just thought I saw someone there. Come on let's go Pier and Michael are surely looking for us.
Mandy witnessed Frank taking on his shoes and walking away without offering her any help. He just let her stand there.
Pier was nervously standing in front of Dijana's dorm room. He rejected her calls all day long saying he has some problems and he can't go shopping with her. But the truth is his money sources are not that big and he was looking for a job the whole afternoon. He didn't want to seem weak and unworthy of Dijana, he knew it was stupid but he was sick of feeling weak. On top of things he had to put a spell on his pants so they turn from black to white so he could match his outfit to the theme party. He pulled his hand up and knocked on the door. The door opened right away. Dijana looked even more beautiful than usual. Her white shirt was perfectly matching the yellow skirt going just an inch under her knees. But her face it missed the glow it previously had.
Dijana: Ohh it's you. Right on time, I should be happy you didn't dodge the event as well.
Pier: Please don't be mad.
Dijana: Do I look mad? I don't think so, I look gorgeous.
Pier: No arguing there.
Dijana: I'm not mad Pier. You just should've been honest with me. If you don't want to shop with me just say so, I won't get mad.
Pier: It's not about that. Let's have a nice evening and we will talk about it tomorrow.
Dijana: I agree just promise me no more lies.
Pier: I promise, I will clear everything with you tomorrow. Let's just go to the party.
Dijana: Okay.
The party was going on really well. The apartment was filled with a bunch of freshman who were pledging for AlfaPi as well. But the other sorority girls were coming as well. Leading the girls of course Laya. Mandy was thrilled to see Laya really came. Mandy knew Laya was the one to convince she belongs in the Sorority, everyone knew it. She approached to welcome all the Sorority girls.
Mandy: Hello girls. I'm really glad you all came.
Laya: You have a great apartment.
Mandy: Thank you Laya. I decorated everything by myself, I'm glad you like it. Go and get something to drink and after that join me at the small dance floor.
Mira: Hmm not that big of dancing going on.
Mandy: Don't worry Mira the party will start rolling.
The girls started to mingle into the crowd. Mandy was relived, everything seems to be perfect. She heard the door bell and opened the door right away. It was Frank, she was happy to see him.
Mandy: Hi! Come in don't just stand there.
Frank: Yeah wait just a second.
Adenah: Mandy, you should buy an elevator and install it directly into your apartment.
Mandy was quite surprise to see Adenah appearing behind Frank. She invited her out of pure courtesy.
Mandy: I think it would be better for you to work some cardio instead of innocent girls.
Adenah: And you asked me Frank why I was rushing to come here!? Isn't obvious she can't live without me?
Frank: This is for you Mandy. It's from the both of us sort of.
Frank stretched his arm out. He was holding a sweet yellow cushion with the name Mandy stitched on it. The name was stitched in with white thread.
Mandy: It's beautiful. Thank you both.
She hugged Frank and gave him a kiss on the cheek.
Mandy: Oh sorry I messed up your face. Let's go clean it up.
Mandy took Frank by his hand and walked with him into the bathroom leaving Adenah in the middle of the hallway.
Adenah: You're welcome.
Adenah entered the apartment and walked towards the kitchen counter. She needed a drink. She looked around the room and there was no sign of Pier. Adenah knew she overreacted and should be the one to apologize but she was bad at apologizing so it was easier for her to avoid it. She noticed Michael being self absorbed with a bunch of girls but no sign of Pier. She was a bit happy, but she knew he was coming. Suddenly someone bumped into her. She turned and realized it was Laya. The both of them were in shock, they haven't really talked to each other since the kiss.
Laya: Hello.
Adenah: Hello. I didn't see you for a while.
Laya: I was crashing at Mitchell's these days.
Adenah: I wanted to apologize for my behavior and kissing you. You were sweet not to kick my ass right there.
Laya: It's okay. I completely forgot about it. But are you okay you're clothes were ripped and bloody that evening.
Adenah: Oh I'm okay. It was a rough fall. I'm bit clumsy.
Laya: I'm glad you're okay.
Frank: Hey Ade I was looking for you. Did I get rid of the lipstick?
Adenah: Yes, Mandy removed everything. Frank I would love to introduce you to my floor manager, Laya.
Frank: Nice to meet you.
Laya: Likewise. So you 2 are a thing?
Adenah: Noooo! We are just friends.
Frank: Yeah just close friends.
The three of them noticed Mandy rushing by them. She looked over the apartment just to see if everything was okay. She saw Mira approaching her.
Mira: Mandy here is drink. You should make a toast.
Mandy: Really?
Mira: Of course. Prove the sorority you are graceful and eloquent.
Mandy: Wait wait? You are helping me?
Mira: Yes I was a bitch earlier today. Girls before dudes. You aren't guilty for your brother's actions.
Mandy: Thank you. So give me that drink.
Mandy took the glass Mira was offering and walked towards the stereo.
Michael: What a good friend are you?
Mira: I do my best.
Michael: I believe you do. So was I that bad of a lay so you have to drug my sister for payback.
Mira: I don't know what you're talking about.
Michael: Don't worry I won't tell. At least not tonight, I need my sister to keep her anger. So while I'm silent you could order me a bit around like last Tuesday.
Mira: No thank you. One ride was more than enough.
Michael: Okay but don't come bagging later, I will probably be busy only if you wanna join.
Michael laughed and stepped away from Mira. He saw Pier and Dijana arriving. Meanwhile Mandy put the music out. The crowd started to squirm.
Mandy: Don't worry guys the music will start in about 60 seconds. But first I want to thank you all for coming. Second I want to toast to all of you, let's enjoy this year like no one has before. Cheers.
The crowd repeated Mandy's last word and started partying as Mandy turned the music up again. The crowd started dancing around Mandy. She was drifting away. She felt her body was relaxing. She thought it was the alcohol.
Pier: Mandy is really enjoying the party.
Michael: Yes she does. She deserves it. Don't you think Dijana.
Dijana: Of course. But do you know I'm sick of talking I want to party with my boyfriend. Let's go and dance Pier.
Pier: As you wish Gorgeous.
With a glance of his sight Pier saw Adenah standing with Frank and Laya. But he didn't want to push things. He would wait a bit and then go and talk to her.
Dijana: Is everything okay?
Pier: Of course. I just saw Ade behind the counter.
Dijana: Don't worry you will make peace just don't push things. I will help you.
Pier: Exactly what I thought.
Adenah watched Pier and that beautiful brunette he was dancing with she noticed a profound kiss happen as well. She was jealous, she needed Pier as a buffer right now but she messed things up.
Frank: I'm quite impressed with you Laya. Aren't you Ade?
Adenah: Yes. Sorry I drifted away with my thoughts. What were you talking about.
Frank: Oh you were looking at Pier. You'll talk later to him, let him spent some time with Dijana.
Laya: They are quite the sweet couple, aren't they?
Adenah: Yes they are. They really found each other.
Frank: I believe I have some input in that I dressed him for tonight.
Laya: Oh a fashion stylist nice. You look great by the way.
Frank: Ohh thank you, you're sweet.
Laya: So I presume Frank you're gay as well.
Frank: No no way. I'm straight as it gets.
Laya: I got confused, sorry. You mentioned dressing Pier up and you're hanging with Adenah.
Adenah: So what I can't have straight friends?
Laya: No it's not that. But the 2 of you have quite the chemistry. You're acting like a couple I would say.
Adenah: Hahahaha. Funny. No me and Frank never gone happen.
Frank: I'm still here if you didn't noticed.
Adenah: Yes and what does your presence change. I would say the same thing with you here or no.
Frank: It's okay to lie to yourself, but don't look me in the eyes and say you don't feel anything for me.
Adenah: I don't. I mean you know, I feel there is a connection but that's it.
Laya: So you are straight and kissing me was just what a game?
Frank: What you kissed her? When?
Laya: None of your business. So tell me Adenah, was it funny for you to mess with my head?
Adenah: Stop stop. You 2 can't judge me, I won't let you. I really like you Laya and there is something between us, you feel it as well I know but I won't force you into anything. And for you Frank I won't lie and say I don't feel this attraction but that is it. I just want to hang with you. I don't want to kiss you or anything. And if you're satisfied I would really leave this interrogation.
Adenaha walked away. She took her jacket and walked out of the apartment.
Pier: Dijana sorry something is wrong. I have to see where Ade is.
Dijana: Okay. Don't worry I will hang with the others.
Pier: Thank you! You're great.
Pier rushed towards the door and walked out of the apartment.
Mandy was dancing in the middle of the apartment, she felt free. She didn't notice anyone around her she just felt the music over taking her body. Dijana noticed her behavior but even more the way Michael was starring at her. She was trying not to stare back but she felt threatened.
Michael: So how do you like the party?
Dijana: It's nice. You have a great apartment.
Michael: Thank you. So where is Pi?
Dijana: He went after Ade. They are talking things out.
Michael: Ohh the wicked twins getting back together.
Dijana: Is it me or are you jealous?
Michael: Me no. It's just pathetic how both of them moup for each other.
Dijana: They're like real siblings. Pier told me how much she means to him. In the last 10 years they didn't spent a day apart or not talking. But what's up with Mandy? I thought she wanted to leave a good impression for the stick up sorority.
Michael: I think she drunk a bit too much.
Dijana: And you won't help her?
Michael: Why she is finally having fun?
Dijana: Oh there is Laya, I'll go talk to her. See ya later.
Michael: I really hope so.
Adenah was sitting on her yellow car, it was something that always relaxed her if she was stressed out and Pier knew it.
Adenah: Thank you Pier. Thank you for taking me out. You really know how to please me.
Pier: You're welcome.
Adenah: I have to apologize. I shouldn't sound you out. We all make mistakes but there is something about Frank I can't explain. I feel drown to him and yes I already thought it was a spell. But it was since the first moment I saw him in front of the male dorm.
Pier: Do you like him?
Adenah: I don't know. It's strange. I'm feeling something but I can't define it. As we prepared the gift for Mandy, we magically stitched the thread into the cushion I felt so good. So amazing like that's the place I always should've been. The last time I felt that was with Sandra and when I kissed Laya.
Pier: You kissed Laya? Ohh you're little slut. Doesn't she have a boyfriend?
Adenah: Oh yeah she has and it felt great. But the both of them are upstairs and I don't what to do.
Pier: You're really messy? And you've just under a week into college.
Adenah: I'm normal, your perfect five day relationship is weird.
Pier: Don't mess with perfection.
Adenah: I missed this, I missed you.
Pier: I know, me too. So how will we solve this mess you've got yourself into.
Dijana was standing with Laya and some other sorority girls. The girls were making fun of Mandy and the way she was acting. Laya was quietly watching what bothered Dijana even more than the comments of these snobbish girls. She turned to Laya.
Dijana: I will go interfere.
Laya: Are you sure? She seems really drunk.
Dijana: I know, but I feel sorry for her.
Laya: You're going on your own risk.
Dijana: You know me I'm able to defend myself.
Dijana started walking towards Mandy, she felt like all eyes in the room were just focusing on her.
Dijana: Hey Mandy, you should stop.
Mandy: What? Why? I'm having great fun.
Dijana: Yes I noticed and everyone else are watching how ridiculous you behave.
Mandy: No you're just imagining things. They love me.
Dijana: No they don't, they are laughing at you.
Mandy: Doubt it they probably laughing at you and your silly boyfriend.
Dijana: What?
Mandy: Don't get me wrong he is a solid lay but Pier isn't boyfriend material.
Dijana: What are you talking about?
Mandy: Ohhh you don't know. Pier and I slept together, we was each other first.
Dijana: I get your drunk or drugged but you don't have to lie.
Mandy: In Vino Vertias Dijana. In Vino Veritas. Go check with your precious boyfriend and he will confirm it to you.
Dijana was furious. She couldn't take it she just wanted to help her. But Mandy embarrassed her in front of the whole party but her this rumor about her slut of a boyfriend is the real reason she got pissed.
Laya: Di are you okay?
Dijana: Yes I'll just. . . See you tomorrow.
She took her jacket and left the apartment. Frank witnessed all that happened but was to late intervene. He grabbed Mandy by her arm and dragged to her room. Two freshmen were kissing on Mandy's bad.
Frank: Out! Fast.
Mandy: Why are you such a party breaker? They just had a bit fun.
Mandy mad two steps on her own and throw herself on the bed. She looked how gorgeous Frank was in his white clothes.
Frank: Mandy what's wrong with you?
Mandy: Why? What did I do?
Frank: You embarrassed Dijana in front of all these people.
Mandy: Ohh you mean that. It's nothing. That girl was after me. I just defended myself. Will you help me undress?
Frank: No. You can do that on your own. I'll find Ade and rush home.
Mandy: Doubt Ade will let you take of her clothes.
Frank was shocked he couldn't believe what a wicked side the sweet and innocent Mandy had.
Frank: I'm out of here.
Mandy: Bye, and please don't come back to me when Ade doesn't let you into her panties.
Frank exited the room and closed the door. He focused on the light balls and made them burn out. The apartment was completely enveloped in darkness. He approached the stereo and turned the music of.
Frank: So the party is over guys. It's time to leave. Thanks for coming.
The crowd was pretty unhappy but they started walking towards the exit. Laya approached Frank.
Laya: Is everything okay?
Frank: Yes. Don't worry. I'll keep the apartment save.
Laya: Okay.
Adenah and Pier were chatting on her car, when they heard the apartment building door open. It was DIjana. Pier happily rushed towards her. As she saw him she turned and started moving in the other direction.
Pier: Hey Di! What's wrong?!
Dijana stopped. Pier noticed a tear in the angle of her left eye. He tried to wipe it away but she stopped him.
Dijana: What's wrong? Ask Mandy what's wrong, she is really chatty today. She loves to talk about the past, about you, about your early years.
Pier was shocked.
Dijana: I see she was right. Your face is telling me more than any words could.
Pier: Dijana, wait let me explain.
Dijana: There is nothing to explain. See you never.
Dijana never turned back, she just walked.
Adenah: Pier what happened?
Pier: Mandy told Dijana, we slept together.
Adenah: Why would she do that? Why would she lie?
Pier: She didn't lie. Mandy was my first.
Adenah: What? When did that happen?
Pier: 2 summers ago, that vacation you spent in Europe and Michael in Miami. Mandy stayed at home cause she didn't felt well and it happened.
Adenah: Oh crap and I thought you were a virgin.
Pier: Shit. Dijana is pissed at me. She barely talked to me.
Suddenly a bunch of people stormed out of the building.
Adenah: What's going on?
Pier: I don't know. Let's check.
Adenah and Pier walked to the entrance, they saw Laya exiting as last.
Pier: What's wrong Laya?
Laya: Mandy is knocked out in her room. There was an electric issue all the lights went out, so the party is over. I'm going, Mitchell is waiting for me.
Adenah: Could we talk before that?
Laya: No. There is nothing to talk about.
Laya walked away. Pier and Adenah looked at each other and entered the building. On the stairs they encountered Frank.
Adenah: What happened?
Frank: Honestly I don't care, Mandy completely lost it. I couldn't find Michael, so I turned the electricity of and just looked the door. I'm off see you two.
Adenah: So he is pissed as well. Mandy really rocked the party.
Pier: Doubt It's only Mandy's fault but let's go I have to talk to Mandy.
Pier and Adenah continued climbing up the stair. They reached the 3rd floor and magically unlocked the door. They saw an unstable Mandy exiting her room.
Mandy: Where did the party left?
Adenah: Are you okay? The crowd left a couple of minutes ago.
Mandy: But I want to party. I want to dance.
Adenah approached Mandy looked into her eyes.
Adenah: Ohh no. You didn't Mandy?
Pier: What's wrong?
Adenah: She took drugs.
Pier: What?
Adeanah: Look at her, look how she stands there, look at her pupils and smell no sign of alcohol.
Pier: Oh that would explain a lot.
Pier approached and touched Mandy's face.
Mandy: Don't touch me. You betrayed me.
Mandy pushed Pier and used her magic to throw him towards the wall. He crashed into the wall and fell unconscious on the floor.
Adenah: What the hell Mandy?
Mandy: He was molesting me. I just want to party. I can't handle being captured in this 4 walls. I want out. See you tomorrow Adenah.
Mandy took of her heals and started running out of the apartment. Adenah ran to Pier.
Adenah: Pier, are you okay? Wake up Pier don't do this to me.
Pier: What the hell?
Adenah: Mandy crashed you into the wall and run away. Should I heal you? Or can I go after her?
Pier: Go go. Make sure she doesn't reveal us I'll be fine. Oh that crazy drugged bitch.
Adenah run out of the apartment. Pier tried to stand up but got dizzy and fell on his knees. Suddenly someone came out of Michael's room, it was a women. She was wearing a white cloak with a hoody which prevented Pier from seeing her face.
Women: Don't worry I will help you.
She had a gentle calming voice, but Pier fainted not being able to say anything.
Adenah was running around she didn't know where Mandy could've gone. She wasn't that fast. Adenah didn't see any signs of destruction which could be caused by Mandy.
Meanwhile young police man Stephan Andrews was walking his usual route. He liked the night shift so he signed up to work at least 2 night shifts every week. He stopped by his police car and all of a sudden a girl in a short yellow dress walked towards him. She was unstable on her feet, she was struggling with every step she made.
Stephen: Are you okay Miss?
Mandy: Not really. I'm cold. I want your jacket.
Mandy made a move with her hands throwing the young police man at his car. The impact broke a front window and resulted in a cut on the officer's face. Mandy laughed as the policeman stud up.
Stephen: What the hell?
Mandy: I'm sorry. Can you give me your jacket, please?
Stephen: Yes of course, but in the police station. You're under arrest.
Stephen took his cuffs and detained Mandy. She felt pain in her arms. Pain caused by the police officer. He immobilized her hands so she was unable to use magic on him. She tried to focus but was to dizzy and light headed to do it. She started working her way out of her weird state?
Mandy: What is happening? I'm hurt, let me go. Where are you taking me?
Stephen: No miss you're going to sober up at the police station. Come on enter the car.
