Mind over Matter


Oh, got some perfectly horrible memories here. Ex-boyfriend being an idiot, me, failing the finals, not getting the audition. Love all the emotion she put into this. Serena is watching from nearby. I'll tell her what I saw when I'm done. Back to Angelina's memories. Like a databank of everything I've done to her. If you think I'm sad, you should know I don't regret one day of it. Not one day.

She seems to have sorted her thoughts and her memories into some categories. There's Samuel, Raven, <3Cole<3, Friends, Family, Bad, Good, and Hopes and Dreams. I took a look through Bad just to make her angry. I also did have a look at Raven, Samuel, Hopes and Dreams, and Family.

In Bad was a bunch of projects that failed, or competitions she lost. A couple of things I did were in there.

In Raven there was all the stuff I did.

In Samuel there was everything Samuel had done or said to her. I read a couple lines of dialogue from one of the memories in there. I applaud him and his nerve.

In Hopes and Dreams there were goals and wishes. I looked at one of her wishes. She needs to stop living in a fairy tale and needs to start living in reality.

In Family there were a bunch of holidays and reunions and something that looked a bit like celery. And a banana. Could make banana-celery salad. Wonder what that would taste like. I'll make Cole try it. Mental note to self: Make Cole try banana-celery salad.

It was fun to look through where you know you're not supposed to go, but go anyway, just for the hell of it.

I then go over to Cole. He had a rough past. Dad was abusive when he had alcohol, had no friends in elementary school, mom was at work from before he was awake to after he was asleep, so he barely got to see her. Spent most of his time at friends or at his grandma's house, played soccer, did get voted president of student council, wanted to become professional soccer player, now wants to be a scientist.

He, like Angelina, had a category for me. All the things I did, except this isn't nearly as full as Angelina's, because he's new. Next is... Eww! I was right. He is in love with Angelina. She had a folder marked <3Cole<3. He has a folder marked Angelina<3 . Making him relive his terrible memories was one of the best thing I've gotten to do in a long time. Especially to someone who had memories like his. I loved every second of it. I look at the time. Only 25 minutes have gone by since I went into their minds.

I end my control on the curse and we all return to the parking lot. Angelina and Cole start at me, but I know they're tired, so I do them a favor, and cast a sleeping spell on them. I think about it for a minute. Then I put a little amnesia spell on them, just for the hell of it. It'll erase the past half hour from their memories. Which means I'll get to do it all over again tomorrow or any other day I feel like doing something to them.

While I wait for them to wake up, I tell Serena what I saw in their minds.

"Wow. That's just... wow.", she says. She has on that smile that I love. Could light up the city with it. And yes, I am bisexual. If you are prejudice against bis, gays, lesbians, and transgenders (Yeah, I'm looking at you North Carolina!), I suggest you stop reading immediately and start running, because Satan help me, I will come after you and hex you into oblivion. Don't think I won't.

I nod. It was fun. The only reason why we're waiting for them to wake up is so no one thinks we left a pair of dead bodies in a school parking lot.

I also told her about banana-celery salad and how I'm going to make Cole try it. We have a laugh about that. She suggests that if he doesn't eat it, dump it on his head. I said, yeah, but dump it in his backpack, then his homework gets all messy and and slimy. Teacher wouldn't like that...

I see them wake up. That's the cue for Serena and I to leave, so I grab her hand and leave. Let them wake up and wonder what the hell just happened and how they got out here.

I always leave it up to them, but I will always get the final word. If they want to take it to a higher authority, they can't. It stops with me!
