AMELIA.

“I keep telling you that you didn't have to do that,” I said to Ava as we walked to Econ.

“Do what?” She asked, pretending she didn't know what I was talking about.

“Come on, Ava. That got you in the bad books of the baddest bitch in the school.” I said, looking at her to make my point.

“You mean the bitchiest bitch?” Ava corrected, and I rolled my eyes.

“You have such a sharp mouth. But for real, on a more serious note. They are going to like to have a mark on you now. They will frustrate you and almost make you regret coming to this school.” I told her, and she stopped.

I stopped, too, to look at her.

“Why did you stop?” I asked her, and she turned to me.

“Amelia, you're human, I'm human, and they are human too. I know there is a hierarchy in almost every school we attend, but that does not mean we should be treated like animals for that reason. And they were not even bullying you because you were on that lower food chain; they were bullying you because you were fat,

    DYLAN. After a lot of thoughts and reluctance. I finally decided to approach Amelia today, I just couldn't stay away. I thought I could, but I can't and it makes me crazy. I was prepared for anything actually. I won't be surprised if she decides to not talk to me, or ignore me while walking off. It'll hurt, but after everything I did to her. I deserved so much and more. So, I'm in front of her Arts class right now. I'm not an artistic person, so I don't have any reason to be in this class, I've been watching her from the entrance of the class for the last thirty minutes. I just stood there, watching her. There was no way I could leave without actually talking to her as my foot were stuck to the ground. Maybe I should check myself out, maybe I was actually tied to her. That's a very weird thought, but I'll take anything that makes sense at this point. Finally, after the whole thirty minutes, the class was finally over. I saw the teacher approaching me and I tried to duck but she

    AMELIA. “Is it okay to say that I want you back.” He said sharply. Like he didn't think about it before he said it. I'm shocked and surprised at his outburst. Honestly, I didn't think he would say this to me. Or even say anything about this issue, but here I was. Sitting down and listening to him tell me that he wanted me back. As his friend? Because the phrase he used was mainly used for when two lovers broke up. He wants me back? If I wasn't smart enough, I would have interpreted it into something else. But I was smart, so I wasn't going to act like an idiot. “Look at me Amelia.” He said and I didn't want to. I would melt if I did, I didn't want to. “Amelia, look at me.” He said slowly and softly that I couldn't help but bend to his will. “What do you want from me, Dylan?” I asked him. “I want you.” He repeated and I rolled my eyes, not wanting to hear that term again. “Stop saying you want me, we both know who you want and that we used to be friends. You're not in any pos

    AMELIA. As I lay on my back, my body suddenly jerked upright. My eyes snapped open wide with panic. I was choking. At first, it was just a faint construction to my throat, but within seconds, it tightened into a vice-like grip. My airway was closing, and I couldn't breathe. I tried to sit up, but my body felt heavy. As if weighed down by an invisible force. My hands flailed wildly, grasping for something—anything to cling to. My face contorted in agony, my skin turning a deep shade of crimson. My eyes bulged, and my mouth opened in a quiet scream. I tried to cough, but it was a weak, ineffective sound. My lungs were burning, desperate for oxygen. My chest heaved, but it was a futile effort. The room began to blur, and my vision tunnelled; I felt myself being pulled down to a suffocating abyss. I could hear noises, but they were all in my head; I imagined it. But the pain was real; I didn't understand what was wrong as I gripped my neck, desperate to breathe. I just wanted to

    AMELIA. Today was another day. I was in school but couldn't think or do anything properly. My mind was occupied with what happened while I slept. That was the second time that I was choked while trying to sleep. It was a very uncomfortable feeling, and I didn't know what to do. I thought of going to the witch's place the other day, but school practicals came up, and I had to stay late in school. But I planned on going today; I would meet up and talk to her about it. Hopefully, we could find a middle ground. “So, what's up about the party?” Ava asked me. “What party?” I inquired, a bit confused.“Oh my God, I'm not even socially active, but I still know things because I pay attention,” Ava said, rolling her eyes at me, and I just laughed. “Sorry, I've been occupied with stuffs recently,” I explained to her. I couldn't say much because she would think of me differently if I told her. “Yes, I can see that. Do you want to tell me the stuff that is happening with you?” She asked m

    AMELIA. After telling Ava I'd meet her in her house once I'm done with my errands, I got myself set for the witch’s cave. I could only hope that I didn't regret this; the moment I saw her, I didn't mind kneeling to beg her and plead to let Dylan go and then give me my old body back. I didn't mind having that old body back because Dylan made it known that he liked my thighs; he also made that known by always touching my thighs or squeezing them. So I would be okay if I went back to being the Fatso of the school. I pulled into my parking spot, and after taking a while in the car to perform some breathing exercises, I opened the door and went out. Please let this go well, I muttered to anyone listening in my head, but I could not help the feeling that there was a pending doom, which scared me. I stopped thinking about it as I walked into the cave; I was not enamored by how the cave was right now, though it added to my fears, and I was bothered about other things. Other things like

    AMELIA My eyes stared back at the crowd in shock; I was too embarrassed to move, my brain lagging behind to process what was happening. A roaring laugh echoed in the hall, they were all laughing at me. My eyes met Dylan's. He was too stunned to react. "Amelia, you should fix your dress." The principal said with a soft tone, reality finally hit me. My hands rushed to cover my bosoms and I ran away from the stares and laugh of mockery. As I ran past Valerie I heard her snicker. "Your fat ass ruined a perfect dress." That was enough; I could not bear it. I didn't know where I was heading but I needed to leave. Tears continued running down my eyes, my sobs were caught in my throat. My heart tightened, making it difficult to breathe. I was fat so running and crying was too much stress on my heart. Valerie did this, what did I ever do to deserve such hatred? I never came in her way and always did my best to avoid her but she always finds a way to make my life a living hell.

    AMELIA. We finally arrived at the party; music blared through the speakers, and drunk teenagers were everywhere. We were still inside the car, and both of us took our time as we looked and observed everything going on. I could see teenagers making out with each other on the porch of the house, tongue and everything. Almost naked, gosh. Teenagers’ parties were always like this; I wondered what the inside looked like. I looked at Ava, and her eyes met mine simultaneously. She had the same look on her face. “Are you sure this was not a mistake?” I asked her, and she smiled, but the smile wasn't genuine as she looked back at the party. “Come on, I'm sure we were not expecting anything less than this. After all, it's a teenager’s party. So let's just keep our heads in the game.” She said, and she applied her lip gloss again through the rearview mirror. “Come on, we can do this.” She said and pumped her hand in the air. “Okay, I'm sure we can,” I said as we exited the car.

    AMELIA. “You look so fucking good right now, Amelia.” He whispered in my ears and I immediately felt goosebumps go down my spine. I wanted to peel his hands off me, because people were looking. And we seemed to be in a very intimate position right now to the outside world. But I couldn't bring myself to do it, in fact, I was scared that he would take his hands off. As if he could read my thoughts, he pulled me closer to him and I rolled my eyes, stopping myself from moaning as I felt the hard budge that was against my butt. Fuck. “Dylan. H..hey.” I stammered. Why the fuck did I stammer again? What was wrong with me? I should be able to at least release a coherent sentence. But nothing was forming, the most annoying thing was that only thing I could focus on was his breathing. I wanted his mouth to come closer to my neck, and lick on that spot that he knows so well. Yeah, we have never had anything that was relating to sex, or even make out, but he knew places where I liked to b

    SEBASTIAN.The whole drive to Ava’s house felt like I was a crazy person. It was rough and not smooth, I would have gotten a ticket but I guess all these policemen know me from my plate number now. They know not to fuck with me, and this wasn't me on a normal day, by the way; I was more calmer. But my girl needed a fix, my fix and I was going to give it to her, anything she wanted. I already got her favorite ice cream and chips. I didn't know when I started falling in love; I didn't expect to fall in love, the whole point of all these was to just fuck and, you know, get her out of my system. That was in the beginning. She fucked me up; she was the one girl that gave me fuck me eyes openly without anybody caring and the one girl that controlled me, she didn't know it, but she did. She was the one that told me straight-up that she wanted to fuck me; I knew it wasn't like the other girls, this one was different, and then I decided that I would also fuck her, but guess what?

    AMELIA. “You'd have to unlock the powers yourself,” Bonnie said. I was shocked, that's a new twist in things. I stared at Ava, who blinked at her mother, confused. “Wait, what do you mean I'm the only one who can unlock them?” She asked. Bonnie shifted in her seat, looking proud and worried at the same time. “You have to want it, Ava. Not just say it–you have to dig deep into yourself, confront the parts of you that are scared, and then also pull it out. No one else can do it for you, not me, not the elders, not even Amelia.”Ava frowned. “So what, I just sit and wish really hard?” Bonnie let out a small laugh, shaking her head. “No, it's not about wishing, it's about remembering. It's believing. Your powers have been a part of you since you were born. Remember when you tried to take the pain of your father away before he died? Yes, you need to dig that part of you out; your powers have just been locked inside a wall that you didn't know existed; now you know it exists, and wha

    AMELIA. “I didn't understand it at first, so I called my mother and she called in the elders, and they all came to the city. After casting some spells and doing a whole lot of rituals, they realized that you bonded with your father a lot. And you would be a very powerful witch, you're in a prophecy. When you felt what was going on with your father as a child, you tried to take your father's pain, which was why you bled through your nose that day. It wasn't a pretty sight, and your grandmother was scared about it, so she told me what to do.”“I already promised myself that I wasn't going to go near any witch business and I kept the promise to myself. I locked away my witch side and I didn't want you to go through the evils that I went through, after my mother and the elders told me that you were a strong witch and you would be in a prophecy, my mother told me to do the only thing that would save you and protect you from Alura.” “What is it?” Ava asked. Bonnie couldn't stop the tears

    AMELIA. “While your father was dying, he begged me to move on. He said he wanted to be selfish and keep me, but he didn't want me to be miserable. He told me to take care of you, and myself. He told me never to give up on myself and that he would always be watching. That night is still seared into my memory.”“Oh my god.” I covered my mouth with my hands as I sobbed uncontrollably. I couldn't believe that she had been through that. How could anyone go through that and be fine?She was carrying this with her for how many years now? I asked myself, but I couldn't answer the question because it made me want to puke. I felt like I was going to puke. Fuck. Alura was so evil. Ava just stayed there, her eyes glued to the picture of her father, which was in the dining room. “Pretty much after that, things went to shit. The lawyers took everything your father owned away from me, but they forgot one thing. Your father was a very clever man. He left me a puzzle to solve. It looked complicate

    AMELIA. I sighed, tears were welling up in Bonnie’s eyes and I felt really bad that we had to make her dig up her past. Ava held on to me tightly and I looked at her, she was frozen. Probably shocked from this story. So I used both of my hands to hold her. “Ethan was there for me, even when I was at my lowest and that was what made me almost die when he left me alone in this world. You know, Alura pretended to be fine, she sneakily became friends with me, I was suspicious of it at first, she begged for forgiveness that she didn't know what entered her to do that. I thought she just wanted to make fun of me again, but who wasted their begging for the rest of high school yeah? She begged for the rest of the years we had and our first level as college student, we had become friends. This time around, Ethan was my boyfriend and he had taken my virginity. We were all practising witchcraft except Ethan, he said it made him gay.” Bonnie laughed, in a painful manner. You know when someone

    AMELIA. “Alura.” Was my simple reply and Bonnie’s eyes had a change in them. It wasn't something that you would notice if you weren't observative, but thankfully, I was observant. So I noticed. There was a very uncomfortable silence on the dinning table and I couldn't help but feel bad, because the dinner wasn't supposed to go awakerd or weird at best, it was supposed to go well and it didn't. The demeanour of Bonnie right now wasn't good and I hoped to God that she won't send me out of her house. I wouldn't blame her if she decided to, but let's hope she didn't. I looked at Ava and she was looking at her mother intently, she was probably trying to figure out what the enmity root between Alura and Bonnie was, I would also love to know that too. After a while of painful silence, Bonnie finally spoke up and I couldn't wait to hear what she had to say. “Did Ava tell you that I wasn't concerned with the witch world anymore?” She asked firstly and my hopes started going down, the li

    AVA. We were finally here. At my house to get my mother's help with the witch problem that Amelia was battling with. My aunty already said she was going to help but I knew that if my mum was in the mix, we would find a solution faster and then we can deal with Alura. My mum seemed to have a problem with Alura and I was in the dark about the whole story. When my grandmother was still alive she used to tell me not say anything about Alura or witch business when my mum was around, because my grandmother knew very well that I was always curious when it came to witch business. It fascinated me. The way we could control some certain things with just our hands, minds, and eyes. It gave me this euphoria, but I wasn't even allowed to lean or practice witchcraft which made me sad, but all the same, j was happy with my life. Right now, we were having dinner with my mum. She finished cooking with our help and we were chatting over dinner, and my mum was telling Amelia the embarrassing thin

    AMELIA. We were finally here. The nervousness that reduced while we were in the car, came back right on. Ava's house was so beautiful, and it felt homey. Somewhere I would consider a home. “Now, just be yourself, and she will love you,” Ava told me at the door and I nodded. Then she pulled the big door to the back, the door was big and heavy, but she managed to do it and I entered. The house was looking all beautiful, and the art and everything complemented the house. “It's a beautiful house you have here.” I told her and she nodded with a smile. “Thanks, girl. It's all my mum.” She said and I nodded. “It's beautiful.” I whispered. “Now, let's go up to my room and I can change from this dress and we could find something for you too. So you can shower and feel fresh.” She said and I smiled. “You don't have to do that you know, that's like another st…..”“Don't you dare finish that statement Amelia.
