chapter 5
Hope pov
After leaving Annabeth I went over to Evie
Who was that? Evie asked
Athena's daughter. I said opening my locker
Oh. She said
Have you gotten any information that could help us get the wand? I asked
No not yet Evie said as we heard the voices of Malibu Barbie, Andrew the walking Ken doll and Ben come from behind us
Those kids are trouble. Andrew said
I'll see ya later Evie said
Ok see ya I said as she walked away
Come on, Andrew. Give them a chance. Ben said
Oh. No offense, Bennybear, but you're just too trusting. Look, I know your mom fell in love with a big nasty beast who turned out to be a prince. But with my parents, the evil god was just the evil god. That girl's father. Athena said pointing at me
I think you're wrong about them. and besides Athena hope is you cousin you should try to be nice to her. Ben said as Athena made a face and walked away with Andrew not to far behind.
Hey hope Ben said coming up to me.
Hey I said
How was your day? Ben asked
Super. I said plastering on a fake smile
You should really think about taking this talent off the locker and into art class. I could, uh, sign you up. What do you think? Ben said noticing how I spray painted my locker.
Way to take all the fun out of it. I said as I saw Jane walk past us
See ya I said and I turned away from Ben and followed Jane into the girls bathroom were I saw her looking at herself
Ok time to put on a show. I thought as I smiled big
Hi! It's Jane, right? Ah, always loved that name. Jane. I said as she looked at me though the mirror afraid
That's cool Jane said as she tried to run past me
Don't go! I guess I was just kind of hoping to make a friend. You probably have all the friends you need though, huh? I said
Hardly. She said
I wasn't a bit surprised I mean look at her she looked like she belonged in a convent with the nuns
Really? I mean, with your mom being fairy godmother and headmistress? I mean, not to mention your own, um... personality. I said sounding shocked
I'd rather be pretty. You've got great hair. Jane said as I got an idea and pulled out my spell book.
You know what? I have just the thing for that. It's right... Ah, here. I said
"Beware, forswear, replace the old with brand new hair." I said waving my finger as Jane's hair grow longer
Wow! You almost don't notice your... Other features anymore. I said
Do my nose! she said.
Oh, I can't. I've been practicing, but you know, I can't do really big magic. Not like your mom with her wand. I mean, one swoosh from that thing and you could probably have whatever features you wanted. I said
She doesn't use the wand anymore. She believes the real magic is in the books. And not the spell books, regular books with history and stuff. Jane said
Not that doesn't sound fair at all I said
Yeah. She said
You know, she used magic on Cinderella, who wasn't even her real daughter. Doesn't she love you? I said
Well, of course she does. It's... It's just, you know, tough love. "Work on the inside, not the outside." You know, that sort of thing. Jane said.
That's the face! Yeah, and then just look as If your... your heart is about to break. "Oh, mother, I just don't understand why you can't make me beautiful, too." I said
Think it would work? Jane asked
Yeah. I mean, that's what old Cindy did, right? And your mother Bibbidi-bobbidi-booed the living daylights out of her. And, hey, If your mom does decide to, you know, break out the old wand, invite me. I said
If I can convince mom, you're so there. Jane said
Yay. I said with a smile
Bye. Jane said
Bye I replied as Jane left
Evie pov
I was currently in chemistry class and I was supposed to be paying attention to what the teacher was saying but I couldn't. Andrew beauty had caught my eye.
Any chance he's in line for a throne? Anywhere in line? I asked Doug
Andrew. Princess Aurora and prince Philip's son. Andrew inherited the Beauty but not a lot of there, know what I mean? Doug said
Looks like there there to me. I said looking at Andrew dreamily
Evie. Perhaps this is just review for you. So tell me, what is the average atomic weight of silver? Mr. Deley said as I went up the board with my magic mirror hidden in my hand
Atomic weight? Uh, well, not very much. I mean, It's an atom, right? Let's see. How do I find the average atomic weight of silver? I said in a way that my mirror would give me the answer.
That would be 106.905 times .5200, plus 108.905 times .4800, which, Mr. Deley, would give us 107.9 am...i said
Amu. Doug said correcting me
I forget. Always a mistake to underestimate...Mr Deley said
A villain? Don't make it again. I said as I smiled and went back to my seat as Andrew handed me a note tell me that he wanted to talk after school.
