Love Spell-part 7

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.
