*The chapter starts with Samantha in her house. Samantha and her mom are in the kitchen.*
Samantha: Bye, Mom. I'm heading off to school.
Elizabeth: Alright sweetheart! Take care!
*Samantha exits her house, then walks down the street, meeting Ivy and her friends.*
Ivy: Well, if it isn't Ms. McDroolyPants.
Samantha: Huh... M-Me?
Ivy: Who else would I be talking to? You're the only freshman who slobbered like a dog over Garroth yesterday at the club social!
Samantha: You were watching me?!
Ivy: Of course. I don't like it when girls get all over my man. I mean, I know it's hard because he's such a dream boat after all.
Samantha: Are you dating him? and for the record I told you my heart belongs to someone else.
Ivy: Of course I am! He just doesn't know it yet...
Samantha: So he's actually up for grabs is what you're saying?
Ivy: HEY! watch it freshman!
Samantha: N-No, no, no, no I didn't mean it like that! I didn't... no not at all! I was just implying that you were crazy!
Ivy: What!?
Samantha: Oh no! That came out wrong!
Lily: I don't like her tone, Ivy
Ivy: I don't either. Her voice is so high pitched and squeaky! Plus she looks like a short potato. I don't see how Garroth would even be interested in her.
(All the girls but Samantha) *Laughing*
Samantha: But... potatoes are delicious...
(There is a short pause, then Ivy growls) Ivy: What is with you?! Listen up! If you even think about getting close to Garroth Ro'meave you're in for a world of hurt! He's MINE! So stay away! Come on Lily,Alex, let's get going.
Lily: Later loser! (Laughs)
Samantha:(nervous laugh) They were joking, right? That's all they were doing. Right? (Forced Chuckle)
(Intro music)
(Samantha is sitting in class. The bell rings, and she looks over at Travis chair. He isn't there yet)
Samantha: Uh- T-Travis isn't here? Uhhh, Awwh. Mmmm, This is the wrong time for a selfie. But I don't know, maybe it will help me feel better? (She takes a selfie) Heh. Ugh, that only made me feel worse. Hopefully Travis isn't transferred out of this classroom, then I won't have— Wait, that's  right! FC/Aaron!
(Takes out her phone and starts texting Aaron/FC)
GalaxyHopeKitty: "Hey... u there?"
Samantha: Uh, hopefully, uh—
FC:" Yeah I'm hear, what's up?"
GalaxyHopeKitty:"Some girls just bullied me... I think"
Samantha: Hopefully that doesn't worry Aaron—
FC:" WHAT!?"
Samantha:Eheh, never mind.
GalaxyHopeKitty:"They called me a short potato and I know I'm really short for my age."
Samantha: Heh. Ehh. Which is kinda a weird insult, but... it still hurt.
FC:"Well I known you ever since we were kids and you are a cute short potato."
Samantha: Whahah? What? Ha! Uh... (sighs) I don't even know how to respond to this.
GalaxyHopeKitty:"-_-"
Samantha: (exhales loudly) (giggles)
FC:"8D"
Samantha: Eh- Hehe! I hate that stupid text face and you know that Aaron!
(She continues to laugh)
GalaxyHopeKitty: "LOL I HATE THAT STUPID TEXT FACE!!!"
Samantha: Ha! Heh.
FC: "I know 8D"
Samantha:Rgh, FC/Aaron... ng—
FC: "Bet That made you laugh though"
Samantha:(sighs) T-Fine! T-Heh. I did laugh. I wasn't expecting that. (She laughs)
GalaxyHopeKitty: "LOL IT DID XDDDDDDD"
FC: "If that girl bullies you again, go tell a teacher" "Don't put up with that"
GalaxyHopeKitty: "What I'd that doesn't work?"
Samantha: I mean- oh wait, I mean if.
GalaxyHopeKitty:"*if"
Samantha: There we go.
FC:"Then I'll come over there and deal with her myself"
Samantha: Huh? Ha! Huh! No no no no do— no.
GalaxyHopeKitty:"LOL don't worry this potato can take care of herself>:D"
Samantha: Heheh. I don't want him to worry about me.
FC:"...last I checked potatoes don't have arms..."
"HEHE 8D"
Samantha: Pffft Haha! Fine!
GalaxyHopeKitty:"...LOL FINE I'M LAUGHING ARE YOU HAPPY?
Samantha: Geez, you don't have to keep— it's— you really know how to make me laugh when I am feeling down.
FC:"Potatoes don't laugh. Focus on your Classes"
"Sweet potato 8D" "LAWL"
Samantha: (Laughs) FC is so weird. Heheheh
(Travis walks in)
Travis: Samantha, morning!
Samantha: Hey not-alone buddy! You're late! How was Bio 101 yesterday?
Travis: It wasn't to bad. My sophomore friend was in there.
Samantha: You mean the player guy?
Travis: Yeeah. So I'm cool. I'm coooool. (Clears his throat) Heheh um, w-what about you? H-how was the class you had?
Samantha: It was werewolf class, and some guy got thrown out of the window. Heh.
Travis: Uh, yeah, that sounds like the werewolf class. So— Wait! Wait! Wait! Wait! Wait. I didn't know that you were a werewolf!
Samantha: I'm not! I gotta go see about getting out of that class.
(The bell rings)
Travis: It's time for first period already? Uh, geez, I was late. What two classes do you have today?
Samantha: Huuuh... It says first I have creative writing. And then it says I have something called WCFT 203?
Travis: Ooh. That's a fun class. My dad is actually a professor in Witchcraft at the local university. Ah, in any case, I got French 101 and I don't wanna be late. See ya later, not-alone buddy!Samantha: See ya! Wait... he's taking French? Ahaha oooh la la... hehehehe. I better get to class.
(Scene changes to Samantha walking down the hallway to her next class)
Samantha: Let's see, 304, that's my...(sees to girls looking in the window to her classroom) Huh? What are those girls doing there? Never mind, I gotta get right to class! (She walks into the classroom) (sighs) Hopefully the teacher—(sighs of relief) Good, he's not here. Heheh. Alright now I just need to find a seat. Ummm (Sees Garroth and Laurence) Gah! (She panicked because she was not expecting them to be there) This is impossible... This is my class, what are they doing here?
Laurence: Hey, it's you!
Garroth: Ah, the little freshman from yesterday!
Samantha: Are they talking about me or?
Laurence: Yeah, we're talking to you.
Samantha: Are they reading my thoughts?
Garroth: We're not reading your thoughts. You're just talking out-loud.
Samantha: Ahhaha...
Garroth: Heh, why don't you come sit at our table?
Laurence: Yeah, no one else wants to sit next to us, so it would be nice to have another person at our table.
Samantha: Are you sure?
Garroth: Yeah, come on.
Garroth: Hmm, I wonder where our teacher is?
Laurence: Second day of classes, Garroth. Things are hectic. Maybe the teacher didn't show up? In any case, let's not sweat over it too much. Kinda nice to get a free day right at the beginning of the year.
Garroth: I suppose you're right, Laurence. So, freshman.
Samantha: EH!
Garroth: What's your name?
Samantha: Oh my name is Samantha but my childhood best friend calls me Sammy or Sam and nice to meet you.
Garroth: Samantha? That's a beautiful and unique name.
Samantha:(smiles) Thanks!
Laurence: Why are you shaking? Are you cold?
Garroth: It's because she's sitting next to the hottest guys in the Sophomore class.
Samantha: (makes a weird nervous sound)
Garroth: Heheh. *Wink*
Laurence: You're going to give the poor girl a heart attack.
Garroth: Ah! Sorry, it's just you're really cute.
Samantha: Eh—
Laurence: It's definitely the uniform.
Samantha: (makes a weird nervous noise again) So... Laurence and Garroth are your names?
Garroth: Ah, so you have been paying attention to more than just are looks.
Samantha: I mean wouldn't it be rude not to pay attention to what someone is saying right? Heh, Hehe.
Garroth and Laurence: (Laughs)
Samantha: Hmm *why are they laughing?)
Garroth: So is your friend from yesterday okay?
Samantha: Uh- Travis? Yeah, he's fine, he recovered fast actually.
Laurence: Glad to hear. So, what middle school are you from?
Samantha: Eh, I'm home schooled. Heh.
Laurence: Ah! Cool, no wonder you're nervous. I was homeschooled for awhile in elementary school, so I know how getting to meet new people can be.
Samantha: Uh, I, umm, it's really scary.
Laurence: You seem to be doing a great job adapting.
Garroth: I bet we're not helping, either?
Samantha: No actually you guys are helping me out a lot (Smiles)
Garroth and Laurence: (laughs)
Laurence: I think you'll fit in with us just fine. We know that we have this effect on girls, so sometimes we like to tease.
Garroth: Speak for yourself. I don't do it as often as you do.
Laurence: That's because you play the Prince Charming role.
Samantha: Wait, I mean, so you guys are like, friends?
Laurence: I guess you could say that. We met freshman year and just ran into each other a lot.
Garroth: This guy had orange hair back then. (Laughs)
Laurence: DON'T TELL HER THAT! MY SISTER DYED MY HAIR!
Samantha: (laughs) I can't imagine that, actually. (giggles)
Laurence: Where the heck is our teacher?!?
Garroth: Not sure, but the bell is about to ring.
(Bell rings)
Laurence: There it is.
Samantha:B-uh, I see.
Laurence: Hey, Samantha.
Samantha: Eh, yes?
Laurence: You seem really cool. We should hang out sometime.
Samantha:Oh that's sounds nice and fun. But I didn't even talk that much?
Laurence: But you listened, and, that's nice for a change.
Samantha: Well then, you're welcome, I-I guess?
Garroth: Don't be a stranger.
Samantha: Eh-h sure! I won't! (Garroth and Laurence leave the classroom) I got to go to class.
(Scene changes to Samantha walking through the hallway)
Samantha: (sighs) Looks like lunch is clearing out. That's a good thing, because, I've been eating lunch alone. In any case (sighs) Early to class, get a good seat, I should be fine! Nothing can go wrong in this class. Hehe! (She walks into the classroom) Alright, uh, huh?
Stranger (Lucinda): Are you even supposed to be in witchcraft class?
Katelyn: It's what my schedule says, so like it or not I'm here, until I can change it!
Lucinda: Well you don't have to yell at me, Katelyn.
Katelyn: I'll yell at you all I want! Gosh, I should never have given you another chance at being my BFF.
Samantha: Hi, are we the only ones in the class right now?
Katelyn Lucinda: Huh?
Samantha: Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to stare at you guys, it's just you both were yelling, and—
Katelyn: Hey, you're that freshman from yesterday. (Whispers) "Oh this is perfect"
Samantha: Huh? What?
Katelyn: Ahahaha. Lucinda, this girl here is my new best friend.
Samantha: What?!
Lucinda: Oh, really?
Katelyn: Yeah really!
Samantha: You hit my friend in the face with a volleyball, and now you're trying to—
Katelyn:(laughs) Oh what an imagination you have! (Giggles) (Says aside to Samantha "Play along and I'll owe you big time"
Lucinda: Oh really? What's her name? Your new, friend.
Katelyn: Oh, uh, haha, her name is...
Samantha: It's Samantha.
Katelyn: That's right! Aphaguguh... what?
Lucinda: That doesn't count, she answered it for you.
Katelyn: Well, that's one friend for me and how many for you? Hmm?
Lucinda: Hmph. Hey girl who has obviously never met Katelyn before, want to be my best friend instead of Katelyn's? I'll help you out in this class.
Samantha: Why are you guys even fighting over me to begin with?
Katelyn: Don't listen to Lucinda. I'll buy you lunch from the cafe in school.
Lucinda: I'll give you a spell that turns people into cute kittens.
Katelyn:(Gasp dramatically) You're allergic to cats! She's trying to kill you!
Samantha: But I'm not allergic to cats! I love them! They're so cute and tiny and fluffy and—
Lucinda: (Clears her throat) You don't even know your own friend's allergies.
Samantha: Wait, but I'm not your friend!
Katelyn and Lucinda: Argh! (They are covered with a cat potion and turn into cats) (they start meowing angrily at each other)
Teacher (Hyria): Geez, those girls can fight. Sorry about that, little one.
Samantha: Uh, who are you?
Hyria: I'm the teacher of the witchcraft class. My name is Hyria.
Samantha: Why were these two girls fighting so frantically?
Hyria: Well, one of those girls happens to be my daughter. I can't get into details. Because this is a problem they should settle on their own. But there was a boy they both liked, and they turned into a frog, and, well, you've read the frog prince. In any case, class is about to begin. Students take your seats, as for you three girls, since you all get along so well, you can all sit together.
Samantha: What?!
Katelyn and Lucinda: Meow?!
Hyria: Go on, sit down and let's begin your introduction to witchcraft.
Samantha: (thinking) "Oh, this is so cute! First. I get to sit with two new people and now I got to sit next to little kitty cats! Haha! This is awesome! How can this day possibly go wrong?! Hehe! Haha!"
Lucinda-cat: meow meow meow meow meow meow!
Katelyn: meow meow meow meow meow meow!
Lucinda-cat: meow, meow, meow, meow meow
Katelyn-cat: meow, meow, meow, meow, meow, meow meow
Lucinda: a meow, meow, meow, meow, meow, meow mew!
Lucinda and Katelyn-cat: meow, meow, meow, meow, meow, meow, meow meow!
Samantha: (thinking) "Oh my Irene, they won't stop meowing!" I can't even hear the lessons going on, shut up!
(Outro starts)
Lucinda and Katelyn-cat: meow, meow, meow, meow, meow, meow, meow meow meow meow meow meow meow, meow, meow, meow, meow, meow meow!
