She was reading her favorite classic – Romeo and Juliet. She
dreamed of being Juliet whose Romeo was truly in love with her. Where was her
Romeo? Jon wasn’t her Romeo. Indeed he was in love with her but that love wasn’t
true. Her heart ached with every minute of realization that her love wasn’t hers.
It was a fiction created by her friends and her with a spell. When Lizzie was
tired with playing with the spell, she would use the other spell to make him
normal.
“ Hey, what are you thinking?”, he asked while brushing few
strands of hair from her face. “ Nothing..do you really love me?”, she replied
him with a question. “ What kind of question is this? I am in love with you.
Truly, deeply and madly!”, he said, emphasizing on the phrase ‘ truly, deeply
and madly’. She left him without saying anything. He looked confused with her
sudden departure.
He wondered about what he had said that made her leave. He
wanted to follow her but his mind stopped him.
She cried her heart out. She couldn’t play this game anymore
with her heart. Every time she looked at his eyes, she found nothing in it. This
was not love. It was just a fabrication. Every time she tried to tell him the truth,
he would rebuff her , telling her that she was simply suspecting their love. How was she going to make him believe that
what he believes is love is nothing but a lie? The only way to get him out was
to find a cure.
Lizzie was getting bored with the spell. She got what she
wanted. She could finally call herself a witch. But she wasn’t satisfied. There
was something missing. Ah yes! She wanted to be the center of all the
attention. Shelly had her share. Now she wanted the guy. She hated whenever
Shelly was showered with love from him. Shelly would disappoint the poor guy
with her cold behaviour. But Lizzie was not going to be like her. She was going
to use him for the popularity she wanted. She wanted to take the place of Raven-
the queen bee of high school.
Before she could get her plans executed, she had to get Jon.
Shelly was key to Jon and getting Shelly on her side was a piece of cake. She
knew Shelly wouldn’t mind breaking the spell. She was never into him. Perfect!
She had to make Shelly believe that she was going to help her get the cure.
