**Anjiála**

I studied my class uninterestingly, I wanted to go explore and not sit in class staring at the fat fat fat fat fat FAT man teach. You wanna know a very surprising thing? Ariana was f****ng intelligent! I was so shocked when the math teacher set an equation meant for college mathematicians to punish the class and she came out and solved it too perfectly, she put the easy in the peasy.

Next the teacher felt challenged and rained difficult questions on her, she sat there chewing her gum and answering like the world is waiting for her

It got the whole awestruck, except Abbie of course. Anyways, Abbie was smart too but not as Arie, and me, I don’t know if I’m smart, I read enough to pass because of mom but I hate books.

‘Mr Broccoli?’

‘It’s Broconi’ he corrected through gritted teeth

‘Okay, can I use the bathroom?’ I asked with a cute pout

‘Five minutes’

‘To walk here and there?’ I asked still pouting

‘Ten, now get lost’ I grinned and ran out of the class. I wasn’t pressed, I just wanted to explore, to have fun. I went through the whole hall since I was alone, no hall monitor so it was fun. I went from one place to another, just having fun until I felt it, a strange call. It was strong and barely above a whisper

I followed the keen little wind to a big brown door, I opened it and stuck my head in. I mouthed a wow at the big room, it was huge and filled with statues and artifacts, beautiful rare and nice one but the one that got my attention was the lady’s statue. Her hair fell down her shoulders covering half of her breasts and moving down to her thighs. Some flew to the accord of the wind and some scattered allover her face. A hole was in her chest, a weirdly shaped hole and her hands covering her mouth. She was on the floor with her eyes staring at the ceiling in horror

She was beautiful but terrified

I knew she would come in handy later but left it anyways

I went back to class which was English now and it turns out, Abbie was better at it than Arie…..in my dreams that is, Abbie is a baby to Arie. How is she so smart?

Ariana

I walked to the cafeteria with the gurls, the school was large and nice. We already went to see the swim coach and I got a chance to audition the next day. I love swimming because it makes me feel peace, brings me joy. We found a table and sat down

‘So what’s the plan?’

‘Break of dawn

Light that shone

Look beyond the window break’ Abbie repeated the first riddle

‘It’s obvious that whatever we need to do is at dawn and the first sunlight ray but the problem is the broken window, what’s that all about?’ I pointed out

‘I don’t know but I’ll let my instinct lead the way, we all will’ Anji smiled. I just love her positive attitude somehow. She needs to go shopping

‘It’s the new pretty chicks’ that girl from earlier said cheesily

‘It has began’ Abbie murmured

‘So you all think you can waltz into my school and steal our boyfriends?’ She said through gritted teeth, the whole cafeteria were already looking at us

‘What are you talking about’ Abbie sighed

‘Don’t play dumb with me, I know you have something to do with my boyfriend’ the girl that kissed Zino said angrily. ‘You’re Abbiana right?’

‘Yeah, so?

‘Then you’re definitely the one I’ve spent two years hearing him compare me to. Abbiana is very smart Martina why can’t you just be like her? Abbiana is not a party freak, why are you such a party freak, Abbiana this, Abbiana that and blah blah blah’ she nagged. Abbie blushed, is Zino that obsess with her?

Ugh! Love

‘And you, coming here and showing your awful face to my boyfriend, back off’ The white chick growled at Anji. Anji took a long and noisy slurp of her smoothie and dropped it

‘If I’m so ugly, then why are you bothered’ she spoke out nonchalantly

‘Well I…I….I…’she stammered. ‘Riele, answer that for me’ she said snapping her fingers

‘Because your ugliness can infect….er…

.er…er….’

‘Shut up please, you’re clueless’ I said bored

‘You think I’m joking!!! The girl yelled angrily, her eyes flashed red, it happened so fast but I saw it and Anji did too. ‘I won’t warn you again, leave my boyfriend and her boyfriend alone’

‘Then tell your boyfriend to leave my friend alone’ I hissed daring her, she raised her hand but the one I think will be nice held her

‘Siobhan leave them alone, just let them be’ she whispered softly and the girl dropped her hand

‘Helena I need to show them why everyone fear us’ she whispered angrily

‘Let’s just go’ she pulled her away, I smiled as they left

‘Helena, Siobhan, Riele and Martina are witches, be careful of them for your powers are yet to awaken’ I heard Astra’s voice in my head

‘You guys heard that right?’ I asked

‘Lumi said Helena is good’ Anji replied standing up. ‘I’ve lost my appet…..’

‘Abbiana!!!’ Zino shouted walking to a table with his food, Mateo gorgeous was with him. Abbie sighed and stood up, she waved at him

‘Let’s go, we have a problem to solve’ she said coldly. She walked away and Anji scoffed

‘Men I hate boys’ she said lowly

‘Say that again’ I said in agreement and followed her

Anjiála

It was morning, I was getting ready to go jogging, I was tying the shoe lace while murmuring a song and shaking my head. I felt like running so I just had to run, instinct. I stood up and cracked my knuckles, I jogged out of my room and met the girls at the foyer

‘You’re going to jog?’ I asked them smilingly

‘Instinct’ Arie said touching her temple

‘Cool’ I murmured and ran out, they followed. ‘Good morning uncle’

‘Good morning’ he greeted back. Zino smiled at Abbie and scowled at Arie, he grinned at me but his teeth was black, charcoal black. We cringed but Arie laughed

‘What?’ He asked confusedly

‘Now this suits you’

‘Ariana! Why would you do this!’ Abbie yelled in shock. I laughed and covered my mouth

‘Grin to the mirror dude’ I laughed and ran out with Arie

‘Ariana!!!!!!!!!!!’ He roared a minute later, we laughed except Abbie

‘Hey, loosen up’ I said nudging her, she laughed

‘Okay that was really funny’ she agreed and ran with us. We ran out of our street, Calle Hernani to other streets, just feeling the zeal but Abbie was damn fast, she’s a f****ng fast runner and Arie ran sluggishly. We kept running until we got lost in a poor street. ‘This is all your fault’ Abbie accused me playfully. I laughed and brought out my phone to look for a map

We ran passed a old house with lot of broken windows, the faint light of dawn flashed in one of the window and it reflected on me, I closed my eyes because of the blindness

‘Wait! Move’ Arie said sharply, pushed me out gently and brought out the paper, she raised it to the light and words slowly wrote out. ‘A lonely boat at sea

A single man thy see

A fearless being on deck

Thee afraid of no wreck

The roar of thunder

He stands and wonder

Flash of lightning

The storm at rage

The dance of waves

The boat unmoved’ she read out

‘This is worst than the first one!’ I exclaimed. Abbie typed down the words in her phone before the paper withered away

‘Well gurls, we have another problem at hand’ Arie said smilingly

‘Why are you smiling?’

‘If we can solve this one, we can do the other’ she replied and I smiled

We can surely do it
