Love spell-part 2

It was the usual summer afternoon. The sun was in it’s blazing best. But it didn’t affect Shelly and her friends. They were at the ground at the graveyard which was covered with green shades of California black oak trees. Shelly had her last sip of orange lemonade. She listened inattentively to what her head of her group said. Nothing interested her. It was only Gothicism and the discussion was more about the spells they planned to use on their worst enemies.

When her mind was idle, she would fantasize about the imaginary times with Jon. She would smile or frown without reason. She was bounded by thoughts of him. There was not a single minute where she didn’t think of him. Spells and witchcraft was myth to her. It simply didn’t exist in the world. How can speaking out strange words drive so much energy?  It made her laugh whenever she thought of it. But she had to fit in someplace and her friends cum Gothic fan were misfits themselves who pursued this culture to get away from the feeling of misfit.

Unfortunately today turned out to be miserable for her when the head of the group, Lizzie , saw her not participating in the discussions. “ What do you think, Shelly? Which spell do you think we must experiment?”, Lizzie asked. Shelly was oblivious of what was happening. She woke up suddenly to the reality. Thus her head started to pound. She rubbed her head to reduce the pain. It didn’t reduce. However she had to give a response and blurted out without thinking, “ Love spell!!”  She repented on what she said. But the damage was already done.

Everyone voted majority on what she said. “ Wow!! That’s could be fun. We need subjects for this.”, everybody said.  After a lot of brainstorming, they closed on two subjects- Jon and Shelly. Shelly was pretty much against on thought of trying the spell. She protested initially and then later she agreed when she heard about the benefits.

Shelly couldn’t sleep the whole night. She was getting apprehensive about the choice she made. She felt weak kneed when she was close to him. Though he never looked at her, but his sudden gaze at her would send shivers down her spine. How was she going to be with him with side effects breaking her confidence? She had to speak to Lizze about replacing her with other girl as female subject.
