Alastor-

Alastor watched from behind Michelle’s eyes as Paige reached the exit and flashed a crooked grin of her own in his direction. She knew. The girl undeniably knew.

Alastor began to make his way towards the door when a pair of twins blocked him. The glare they gave Michelle was deadly. He searched her memories for names as he recalled them from practice last weekend.

“Shawnee,” Michelle’s voice purred. “Tawnee. What can I do for you?”

“Everyone knows that you want to be Paige, but taking her boyfriend to Homecoming is so low.”

“Her ex-boyfriend,” Michelle cut in.

Alastor felt Michelle’s rage override his control. He could feel the truth behind Michelle’s motivations; she did want to be Paige. Alastor still couldn’t figure out why.

“Only because you slept with him,” Tawnee pointed out. “What’s gotten into you?”

“You really should be asking, who has gotten into me?” Alastor laughed as he took back control. Michelle was cowering now from the disgusted looks she was given by the twins.

Their faces contorted with disgust.

“Everything is always about Paige!” Michelle screamed. “Why is she so perfect? Everyone loves her, but what about me?”

“We liked you,” Tawnee said.

“No, you didn’t.”

“Yes, we did. Michelle, we were friends,” Shawnee spoke up. “We were all best friends. We were a squad. But…”

“But what?”

“You are always trying to outdo Paige. Why can’t you just be you?”

I could barf from this girly lovefest, Alastor gagged. “I have to go. I’m not interested in your opinions. Now step out of my way before I remove you from it.”

Shawnee stepped up to the challenge when two males blocked her way. Alastor remembered them from the practice as well.

Chris and Ben.

“Hey girls, how about a dance?” Ben asked.

“After I mop the floor with her face,” Shawnee replied.

“We don’t need any trouble here. Come on, Shawnee.”

“She has it coming, Chris.”

“Not here, Shawnee.”

“She broke up our squad, and she came between Paige and Troy,” Tawnee said.

“Then let Paige and Troy deal with their issues,” Ben offered. “Whatever issues the three of you have, deal with it outside of school. Think about it, Tawnee. You are eight months away from graduation. You don’t want to mess this up.”

Chris took Ben’s lead, “Yeah, Shawnee, what do you think UCLA will think with expulsion on your record.”

“Is everything okay here?” Father McCallan asked as he came up behind Michelle.

“Yes, Father,” Ben replied.

“Benjamin,” Father McCallan smiled. “Don’t you look nice? I couldn’t help but overhear…”

Alastor turned toward Father McCallan. “A nosy priest can get into a lot of trouble,” Alastor said as green flames flashed across Michelle’s eyes.

Father McCallan took in a subtle breath.

“Michelle!” the others said in unison.

“It’s quite alright, children. Perhaps your friend would like to come to services. Our next service will be covering repenting the demons within us,” Father McCallan offered, never taking his eyes off of Michelle’s. He saw right through to Alastor, which presented a problem.

“Michelle could use that one for sure,” Shawnee commented under her breath.

With a nod to Alastor, Father McCallan said, “I hope to see you all at services.
