Repeats
It feels so good to get that extra anger off my chest. I've been wanting to do that for ages. Hey, I'm Raven. I'm a witch, so just be aware. Back to what was happening. So yeah, Cole turns on me, saying it's my fault Angelina's dead and blah blah blah... I have better things to do than listen to a lover babble on about his dead true love and how it was my fault... yawn. But back to the more exciting part. I get to see the look on his face when I tell him she's not dead.
"She isn't dead. Just wait.", I say. There are tears streaming down his face. I think he loves her.... Idiot. "Give her a few minutes, then check her pulse. She's fine."
"Yes she's dead. YOU KILLED HER!!! I SAW YOU! WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE THINKING THAT YOU CAN JUST KILL MY FRIENDS!!?!? TO HELL WITH YOU!!! Is this what you do? You target people and kill their friends just for the hell of it? Why do you do that? ANSWER ME!!!", he yells. God, he's such a drama queen at times. He needs to calm down.
"No she isn't." Now wait a few minutes. An expression of understanding passes over his face. Realized what I'd just said.
"Wait, what? What do you mean she isn't dead? I thought you just shot her with a curse.", Cole says confused. He checks her pulse.
"I said she isn't dead! She is under a sleeping spell. I was trying to hit you with it, but she got in the way. She'll wake up in an hour or something. Calm down." I say carelessly.
"Yes she is. There's nothing I can do. She's not sleeping. I'm not getting a pulse.", he cries. Seriously how many times do I have to repeat myself before the idiot gets a grasp on the concept? I swear, if he didn't listen to that, I'm going to dump water on him and duct tape his mouth.
"Did you not hear me say, 'Check her pulse in a minute', and 'She'll wake up in about an hour' Were you listening to that?", I say. I'm guessing he wasn't, on account of the fact that he didn't acknowledge the first time. Like I said, idiot. Then I walk away, with a smile on my face.
--------------------------------------------
The next day at lunch, the school newspaper comes out. Me and Serena get it just to criticize. Let's see... Cole wrote an article on student council, lame. Angelina wrote the horoscope, and none of them make sense.
"Look at this crap. The horoscope make no sense whatsoever.", I say. I'd say the only interesting thing in it this month is the announcement for the talent show and maybe the song of the week. Might try out...
"What does Aquarius say?", she asks. I read it out and her expression quickly becomes confused. "What even? Is Aries any better?"
"Your itchy nose will go away after you suffer a week in agonizing hell locked in a pepper cupboard in a straight-jacket. Nope, just as crap as the others.", I say, throwing down the paper. She picks it up. "I've already done that anyway, so it wouldn't be anything new."
"When?", she laughs. I mock thinking before I respond.
"About 5 years ago.", I say. "Worst way to spend summer ever." She breaks out laughing, and I start laughing along.
"People can be cruel. Of course, but we already know that.", she says. I nod and space out before being pulled back into reality by a tough-looking kid.
"Raven?", he asks. I look at him with a raised eyebrow.
"Can I help you?"
"I heard you were the boss when it came to ruling the school. Me and my friends were thinking we could help, if you needed any...", he said sitting down next to me.
"And? What makes you think I need help?", I hold up Serena's hand intertwined with mine. He smirks.
"Just watch us.", he stands up and snaps his fingers and I see who I assume to be his friends and they jump into action. I'm actually pretty surprised at the level of destruction they're causing. He smirks at me.
"So?", he asks, and I recover from shock and put on a smirk, countering his.
"Let mama show you how it's done.", I say, getting up and dusting myself off, before snapping my fingers and causing half the food in the cafeteria to turn rotten and full of mold. Serena and I both hop on the tables and walk down them, kicking off trays with unspoiled food on them, effectively leaving everyone with moldy food.
I then proceed to smash spaghetti into a group of kids' faces and trip a kid, giving him a bloody nose in the process. Serena dumps some chocolate milk into a kid's backpack before kicking some kids out of chairs and dumping their notebooks into the trash. When we finally do stop, I snap my fingers again and the cameras are wiped and the teacher will think it was that kid that thought he could talk to me. And to finish it all off, I pull Serena into a kiss.
The kid and his friends are all standing there, shocked.
"Goddamn.", he says. I give him a look. "You're gay?"
Really? That's it? That's all you got from that? Oh my God, remind me to punch this dude.
"Really? That's what you get from that?", I scoff. "Nope. Don't need your help. Bye. Which also happens to be what I am."
"But-"
"Do I need to say it in French? Je ne veux pas votre aide ou votre adulation. Adieu, paysan.", I say, before turning on my heel and stalking off, Serena close behind me.
When we reach the bathroom, I storm inside and slam the door before giggling with Serena.
"You said, 'Goodbye peasant.' Oh my God.", she gets out. I giggle.
"What an idiot.", I say, smiling.
After we get our stuff together, we go to class and not pay attention to anything. I play with my magic and make little scenes on the desk. A princess in an ice palace in medieval times. Pirates taking over a ship. Even a little mini supernova in full color for Serena.

Serena comes over to my house tonight and we're in my room, thinking about what to do next. Serena suggested something.
"How about you enter their mind and make them relive their past?", she says.
My God, Serena is brilliant! That's the best idea I ever heard.
"That is brilliant! I can do that, easily.", I say. We spend the next few hours planning on how to get them right in the spot they're weakest. Serena let me use her as a test, except I'd taught her how to block out mind control spells, but she's talented and was able to come up with a fake life for me to practice on.
"You're good. That was awesome.", she said. "You should choose their most painful memories and make them relive those specifically." The girl never runs out of ideas! Especially good ideas. Even though I've done that before, it'll be the first time in a long time. She comes up with them so easily, it's like she's planned it for months, when really, it's just off the top of her head.
I pull her into bed, kissing her again and cuddling close to her. She giggles and kisses my forehead. We fall asleep in each others' arms.
The next day, we let on clues to Angelina and Cole. I don't know how stupid they can be, but it's starting to rise above their intelligence levels...
°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°
We meet in the parking lot at dismissal again. Apparently Cole is stupid enough to bring her back. Again, how many times do I have to do something before he realizes that as long as he comes I'm going to do something? This is going to get boring real fast.
"Why the hell are you doing this, Raven?", she asks. I smile to her.
"Oh just because. History is bound to repeat at some point. I like to see you regret the choices you made, things you wrongly decided.", I say. She flinches. "Oh. Looks like I hit a nerve. Story of your life, yeah?" Cole looks murderous. I do that look so much better... I can't wait to see what goes on in their heads. Just to mess with them.
It's almost like he doesn't know that every time he brings her something bad is going to happen to both of them. Angelina and Cole face me. And the good thing is, is that I can do both of them at once. I know I scare them when I'm about to cast a spell. So Cole stepped in front of Angelina and it hits him. She lays him on the ground, so she doesn't see that I cast a spell at her. As soon as it hits her, she screams and falls over. Finally, I declare war!!!
Okay, story time. I've done a lot and seen a lot in my lifetime. I've done this many times over. I'm no stranger to bad memories. I've seen what they can do to people. Now Angelina and Cole are special. I don't normally say that. But there's something about them that reminds me of something... Something bad. I can't quite place it, but I know it's going to be essential sooner or later. It could decide whether we live or die.
