*Soleil*
"I just don't get it, a week ago my life was easy, uncomplicated. Now there is guys everywhere and I have started fantasising about.. you know stuff". I slump down on Davina's bed with a sigh.

"Sex ?" Davina say with twinkling eyes.

"I don't fucking know". I pull a pillow over my head. "I haven't really dealt with guys since I married little James in kindergarten".

Davina laughs. "Just tell me how you feel doll. I've been there myself, maybe I can help you figure things out".

"Zac is so sweet. I can be myself when I am with him and it was like.. I don't know. There was this moment when I thought he..". I poke out from behind the pillow. "No it's stupid, of course he wasn't going to do that.. but there was this moment just before my mom showed up and again before he left".

"What kind of moment ?" Davina pulls her legs up under her, and look at me. "Tell me everything".

"I don't know. He was going home and he hugged me, like a thanks for the help hug I think". I try to explain.

"What did he say ?"

"Uhh thanks for the help !"

"Arg !"

"Sorry, but that is what he said". I shrug.

"What kind of moment then ?"

"He kind of kept holding me and we just.. looked at each other. Like.. you know".

"Oh so cool". Davina claps her hands. "You totally had a moment. He is so interested in you".

"You really think so ?" I ask, could he be ?

She nod . "Oh yes, most definitely.. what happened then ?"

"Nothing, he went home for dinner. Oh I so wish he would have kissed me". I pull the pillow back over my face.

"That's okay". Davina say with a soft laugh, putting a hand on my knee. "He is kind of a hottie. Hell, I wouldn't turn him away if he offered".

"But why do I keep thinking about Tom then ?" I mumble into the pillow.

"That is something completely different doll". Davina got serious. "We have all gone through the Tom phase. All girls want the bad boy, wants to tame him; There is something attractive about them. But you know what ?"

I pull the pillow away, shaking my head.

"It's always the sweet guy you end up with. He is not going to screw you over". She say with a small shrug.

"You sound like you have experience in that area".

She makes a face. "Oh don't get me started".

"Well if you want me to survive all this, you have to tell me everything.. to prepare me you know". I say.

"Okay then". Davina sigh. "It's almost the same every damn time. You meet a guy, he is sweeping you of Your feet and you believe in his bullshit. The moment you lets him get what he wants, Well then you are no longer hot and he is out of there".

"It doesn't sound promising". I scrunch up my forehead. "Are all men like that ?"

"It's never like in the movies. My ex for instance". Davina let out a sarcastic laugh. "I was so crazy about him and he was crazy about me. Or so I thought. Until the Day I found him fucking my best friend.. ex friend".

"What a fucking bastard". I say, shaking my head.

"That is what you get in return from handing a man Your heart". She mumbles.

  I try to comfort her. "He'll probably end up a lonely old man, you know what you give out comes back threefold and all that".

"Uhh what ?" Davina stares at me with curious eyes.

I bite my lip when I remember all those prejudice people have about wicca, according to the web page. "Something I read about, you now karma, laws of Nature and all that".

"Are you Reading about witchcraft". Davina narrows her eyes, looking at me.

"It was just something I kind of.. fell over on the net. Totally coincidentally". I send her a nervous gaze.

"Holy shit". Davina exclaim sounding happy. "First boys and now paganism.. oh you should so talk to Mark".

"Mark ?"

"Yeah Mark, my friend from the Grotto. He is into all the witchcraft stuff. He even has this club or what it is called. They meet up in the whitegrove". She seems almost elated.

I make a face, not knowing what else to do.

"Oh shut up Sol. I have known you for more than half a year now, and I have always been the wild one". She takes my hand. "And now suddenly you are kicking ass".

"No stop it. I am not into paganism and it is not like anything will ever happen with either Tom or Zac". I say.

"And why not ?"

"Uh Hello, have you seen them ? They are both like extremely handsome.. Nah not gonna happen". She makes a face and is about to cut me of, but I continue. "I just want to know what happens in my mind".

We sit for a moment, then I ask. "Can I ask you about something weird, without you freaking out ?"

"Sure, of course. I promise to be a good girl now". She say.

"Okay. I might have had some.. mysterious experiences this last week". I start out by telling.

"In what way mysterious ?"

I tell her of the two episodes with the wind. "It was kind of cool, but in a bit scary supernatural way.. it has to be something I am imagining right ?"

"Honestly I don't really know anything about those kind of thing. But I am sure Mark can help you" . She says.

  Suddenly she lights up. "Maybe that is how you suddenly became a babe magnet. Maybe it means that you are a real witch and you can make them fall helplessly in love with you with Your witchcraft". She pretends to faint.

"Wiccan". I say. "And I definitely haven't used witchcraft on anyone". I remember my embarrassing run in with the elites. I look at my phone, checking the time and see a message flash on the display, it's from Zac. 'Hi, had a nice time today. Are you free tomorrow ?'

With my hands slightly shaking I show the text to Davina, who starts dancing around in some kind of victory dance. "This is so good.. more gossip for me tomorrow".

"But.."..

"Oh no, you are saying yes". She sends me a 'don't fuck with me glare'.

I let out a slight groan and text him back. 'Sure, we can do that. I am home around noon, you can just come when it suits you'.

Putting my phone into my pocket I get up. "I gotta run Davina. Promised mom to be a good girl and be home for bedtime".

"Uh bummer". She makes a face. "You have to keep me updated.. it is so cool how you are just blooming, jumping into all this, guys and supernatural power".

"Yeah can we dial back the drama Shakespeare". It is a bit much to handle already, and I don't need Davina to dial up the stress. "See you tomorrow".

"Sure see you doll".
