the end rewarded ourselves with one of the incredible ice-cream sundaes from Ghirardelli Chocolate factory. It was an incredible day out, I’m so lucky to live so close to such a great city.
"Trish, come on. My food is getting cold" Chelsey calls from her spot at the table. I pay for my food and head over to our t able. I start telling her about my day as I sit down when I notice that she’s not paying attention to me, but instead is looking over my head. I turn around to see Kristina, Lexi and May standing there clutching their lunch trays. "Mind if we join you guys?” asks Kristina.
I look at Chelsey just to make sure that she does not mind and invite the girls to join us. We are having a blast , just sitting and talking about all of our classes and teachers when it gets quiet. This time when I turn around Eddie and Keagan are standing there.
"Are we interrupting anything? Have you ladies got enough room for two lost souls searching for a place to sit?" I laugh at Keagan’s silly question and usher him to sit down as Kristina shuffles along a spot to make room for him to sit next to me.
Eddie goes around to the other side and sits across from Keagan, next to Chelsey. Then right in-front of everyone. As he sits down Keagan leans towards me and kisses my check once again.
"I enjoyed our run together this morning, mind if I join you from now on?" He asks, taking a bite of his vegetable lasagna.
"I would like that." I manage to tear myself away from his blue eyes and return to my own food and the other people around our table. I really need to control myself around him; I don't want him thinking I'm a creeper.
We have so much fun at lunch, our chatting and laughing is interrupted only once, by Porsche walking past our table with her posse. I think I’m the only one who even noticed her evil stare though; it was directed at me and only me after all.
Incidentally, as soon as I arrived back at my room that day of the zombie lesson I looked it up online and the Solanium Virus could be real. I found a bunch of articles on The Potato Virus, as it’s commonly known. I also read that in many parts of Africa and Haiti, zombies are an important part of witchcraft beliefs. Many cases have been reported of people actually returning from the dead. So maybe I was wrong to dismiss the idea so easily …

The rest of the school week goes much the same way as Monday. My new friends and I work on our Witches versus Warlock project, which we’re having a blast with. The seven of us meet up every day for lunch, joke around and enjoy each other’s company. The girls constantly teasing me about Keagan and I.
I know that they only do it because they know it makes me blush, they enjoy seeing me a little uncomfortable. May reminds me daily that all she has to do is say his name, and I turn a shade of bright pink.
Thursday night however, is a little different. May has planned a sleepover in her room. She received special permi ssion from school as it is her birthday; I have never been to a girl’s birthday party let alone a sleepover before so I’m excited.
Earlier on today, after classes were done for the day, Che lsey and I changed out of our uniforms and drove into Nevada City to do some shopping.
We found May the perfect birthday gift. She has short, perfectly straight, brown hair cut in a bob. The hairstyle perfectly outlines her face. She is tiny, about five feet two inches tall and under 100 pounds if I can guess. People never believe her when she tells them that she is actually seventeen and she can get away with wearing child sized shoes. Lucky duck! She has big brown eyes and very delicate features.
She likes to dress very elegantly whenever we do not have to be in our ugly school uniforms, always in a skirt and blouse or something dressy. Chelsey and I found a matching pearl earring and nec klace set and bought it straight away. It
