the witch

First day

Hanna and Emily were on their way to school.

Hanna turned towards Emily" They are not better , are they? . "

Emily sighs" No they are getting worse. "

Hanna tries to comfort her" May be it is nature's way of warning you about something. "

" Are you stupid ? (sarcastically) Nature's way of warning. It's nothing like that. Stop watching paranormal stuffs they are eating your brain. "

Emily picks up a diet coke and turns on the radio. She was trying to distract himself. She asks Hanna cut off the topic.

Hanna ignores her" Ok I am stupid so you tell me, Why are you having dreams about some creepy boy ? "

Emily gets furious" I don't know. Every night I close my eyes I find myself in a bloody ground and some boy is there standing at some distance. His cape covers his face and he calls out to me. "

Hanna " I have seen the sketches you made about the boy he looks scary. "

Emily " I am having this dream for long now so it doesn't scare me , not anymore. And I have this feeling that the boy won't hurt me. "

" Oh may be someone from the other side is trying to reach out to you. After all there's a whole new world awaiting for us after we will take our last breath in this world. " Hanna mocks. Emily hits her with her bag.

Hanna" Cool girl , I am driving. "

Emily " You think it is funny. "

Hanna" I was just trying to distract you. You look quite tensed. "

Emily" I know I am scared to face everyone. "

Hanna" Come on that's so not you. You are the hottest girl of the college. "

Emily" I was but that's not me now. Time has changed , I have changed , everything has changed. "

Hanna" Not everything has changed. Something is still the same. "

Emily" Oh god please say that it is not about Cade . "

Hanna" Ok so it is about a boy you used to date and now you have started ignoring him without even breaking up with him officialy. "

Emily" I am not avoiding anyone , I just need space and more time I have been through a lot. What's up with him ? "

Hanna" he asks me about you everyday. Why are you with him if you don't like him ? "

Emily " Of course I like him he was my best friend. "

Hanna" You just said that you he ' was' your best friend. "

Emily" I mean he was my best friend since first grade. I loved him I enjoyed his company. And then he suddenly proposed me one day. "

Hanna" You never wanted to make him your boy friend. "

Emily" No , I accepted his proposal because I didn't wanted to break his heart. I don't think I see anything more than a friend in him . But being in relationship

spoiled our friendship. And right now I need a friend and not a boyfriend. "

Hanna" Why don't you accept ? "

Emily" Why don't I accept what ? "

Hanna" That though you are officialy in relationship with Cade , you have feelings for Peter. "

Emily" No it's not like that. "

Hanna" You know it is. I have seen you gazing at him all the time in school. "

Emily " Stop it "

Hanna" Why ? it's romantic "

Emily" You are making me feel guilty. I am in relationship with one boy and in love with other. "

Hanna " Wait ! Wait ! Wait ! I said that you have feelings for Peter I never said that you are in love with him. That's all made up by you. "

Emily" I just feel a connection with him . I don't know if it's love. "

Hanna" Listen girl , I understand you are confused about your feelings but Cade has no part in it. Why are you hanging him ? If you don't want to be with him just

tell him. I know he will get hurt but sooner or later he will move on. That's the best of him. Don't keep swinging him around. "

Emily" Yes I will. But he will get hurt. "

Hanna" Not as much as being with a girl who is in love with some other boy . "

Emily" girl , I don't love Peter . "

Hanna" You are complicated girl , you are dreaming of one boy , you are in relation with other and you are feeling the so called ' connection ' with a third boy. "

Emily" Don't make fun of me dude , my life has already become a mess . "

Hanna" As you say ! "

Emily" Are they still talking about me in school . "

Hanna" No man , not really , you know . "

Emily " This means they are . "

Hanna" Kind of yeah . "

Emily" Oh God ! I don't want to face anyone . "

Hanna" You can't just run from everyone . You have to bring your life back on track . "

( Suddenly a truck comes in front of their car . Hanna take a quick right to avoid the accident and the car hits a tree . )

Hanna" Emily are you fine , I am so sorry the truck came out of no where , I lost my control . "

Emily " It's ok , Hanna . Just give me a minute . I will have to move on . I can't let that accident affect me forever . "

Hanna" And I will make sure that you do . "

Emily " Sometimes life takes surprising turns and it leaves you no where . "

Hanna" Let's not talk about it . "

Emily " I think this year has some dark fate for me . "

Hanna" Wanna know what I think ? "

Emily " And what you think is ? "

Hanna" I think this year is going to be different . You will be beyond happy . You will find your true love . I think there is a bright future awaiting for you . "

Emily " Thank you . "

Hanna" I just wish that your true love is not the creepy man you have been dreaming of . "

Emily " Shut up now or I am going to punch your face . "

Hanna " We reached ' Wingston High ' . "

Emily " Seems like I was last here ages ago . "

( Outside Wingston High )

Cade " Emily finally you are here . You didn't tell me that you were coming today . "

Emily " Actually I . . . . . . . . . . "

Cade " Forget it , Hanna , How is she doing ? "

Emily " I am right here . You could ask that to me , directly . "

Cade " I left you like a thousand messages you didn't responded to any . Hanna use to tell me about your well being , so I thought it's better that I ask her directly . "

Emily " I am so sorry , Cade , if I kept you hanging . I didn't meant to . "

Cade" What do you mean by that ? "

Hanna " Nothing , nothing she means nothing , right Emily , do you mean anything . "

Emily " Nope I mean nothing . "

Cade " Great lets go in . "

Diana " Hey Emily . "

Emily " Hi Diana , good to see you . "

Diana " Good to see you too , how are you doing ? "

Emily " I am doing fine , thanks for asking though . "

Diana " No worries girl , Oh did Cade tell you about my new position . "

Emily " What position ? "

Hanna" Leave it , let's go . "

Diana " By the way I am the new captain of basket ball team . "

Emily " What ? Hanna you knew it yet you never told me . "

Hanna" I knew it would hurt you . "

Emily " I need to talk to the coach . "

Hanna" Just let it go . "

Emily " The coach said that she won't fit anyone in my spot . "

Hanna " The finals are on head the team needed a leader . "

Diana " Just let me know if you want in . I will keep going . "

Emily " She always wanted my position . "

Cade " Just let it go . "

Emily " How can I let it go , Cade . I don't have millions like you do . You can go to any college you want but I can't . Only the team captain gets scholarship . "

Cade " The captain does not get scholarship the best player of the team gets , I can ask my dad if you want he will surely help you . "

Emily " So this is what you think of me . You think that I will never be able to do anything on my own . "

Cade" No that's not what I meant . "

Emily " Exactly you mean this . "

Cade " I think I should go . "

Hanna " Cade listen to me . "

Cade " She made herself very clear what's more to listen . "

Hanna " She didn't meant that she just . . . . . . . . . . . . "

Cade " Little tip for you Hanna stop acting like her pet . I planned a surprise for you Emily but now I don't think it matters so I will keep going . "

Hanna" You were so rude to him , Emily . "

Emily " I was pissed on Diana and I took out on Cade , I will just go and ask him to forgive me . "

Hanna " You want to break up with him . "

Emily " But I can't loose my best friend . "

( They walked in the campus . )

Hanna " This was what he was telling . "

Emily " He decorated my locker , you knew about it ? "

Hanna " No he kept it a secret from me . "

Emily " I feel so bad I have to talk to him . "

Hanna " Just tell him how you feel , you understand , tell him everything . Don't keep him swinging . If you don't want to be with him just tell him so that he can move on in his life with someone who will truly love him . "

Emily " Yeh . . . . . "

Hanna " It was not a ' I am convinced with your yes ' . "

Emily " I am just missing my mom , I never felt so stuck when he was with me . "

Hanna " I am making it very clear right now , the past is in the past there is no going back . "

Emily " We are getting late for the history class . "

( History Class )

Emily " Hey Cade ! "

Cade " Is there something left to say ? "

Emily " No I just wanted to say that I am sorry . Diana really pissed me off and I took it out on you . I was wrong and I am really very sorry . "

Cade " I really don't want to talk about anything right now . Excuse me . "
