Anything But... by A.G. Smith (online e book reading txt) 📖

but deep down I knew that I could do it." Gwen said.

"Now it's my halves turn it on your half so line up with everyone else." She did as I said as my half said the spell casted on them. As I finished the spell I saw Gwen start to gaze into Steven's eyes and he into her's. Then the bell rang and everyone left as the teacher was saying her goodbye's. "Hey Annabelle." I heard Gwen call as I was walking to Self Defense.

"Oh yeah you wanted to talk to me. What is it that you want?"

"Ok, remember last night at Emily's when I casted a spell?"

"I don't want to but yes. What about it?"

"Well it was a spell to see and hear what you see and hear."

"That's great and all but please get to a point."

"Ok, so I overheard something it seems you didnt. Jag is trying to convert you to his side that's what Sasha and him were talking about when he left the room."

"Gwenstop lying!" I screamed at her.

"Annabelle you don't have to believe me, but you should."

"I can only believe you when you have proof. Get me proof and I will believe you.Until then Jag is still my friend."

"Fine I'll get you your proof." Gwen said half to herself and half to me as I walked into class. I wonder if she's right.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Today we will jump right into some more fights. So find a different partner and start fighting, with magic only."

I picked Steven E. I came up to him with a smirk on my face. I saw Gwen pick Jag. She must be trying to get her 'proof'. As I was thinking a skeleton came up and punched me.

"Bastard." I said as I took out my wand and cast a spell to make everything moving in a 3ft circle to drop.

As Steven and the skeletons dropped the skeletons crumbled and I started to cast another spell. This one will give me the power of electricution. So I start zapping him with lighnting bolts. Jag was shooting green poison rays at Gwen. She jumped and doged the best she could. She wasn't getting hit, just barely . Anytime she tried to cast a spell he interrupted her with another green ray.

"Jag stop lying I know you are trying to convert Annabelle to the vampire side!"

"I don't know what you are talking about Gwen." Jag said as he laughed with this menacing tone.

I jumped back as I realized Steven was shooting something at me. But when I looked at my arm I saw that I got grazed by his spell. I closed my eyes and summoned up all my power I possibly could. And I strock Steven with the biggest lighnting bolt I could. As it came out of my hands my eyes opened and they were completely black. A big flash of light came from it as people stopped their fights and looked over. Seeing it was just a powerful spell and afraid of a surprise attack by their partners they went back to their fights.

As the smoke cleared people saw me heaving with exhuastion and Steven in a corner, unconsious. I got a 'nice job' from Sasha it sounded like. As the fights kept going I got the teacher to check on Steven and I went over to Jag. He was laughing and shooting up his area with Gwen. Teasing her by just barely missing, I could tell.

"Annabelle tell him to stop!" Gwen pleaded as she stepped out of range.

"Jag" I whispered a with resistance.

"Thanks Annabelle. And you what!" They started getting in each other's faces so i had to get in between them.

"Hey, there's no need for this. Gwen you are bigger then him!" Gwen nodded and walk over to Steven's side.

"Are you ok?" Jag asked me looking at my arm.

"Yeah I'm fine. I only got grazed."

"Ok, students those fights went well I hope. It's time for lunch so leave and I'll see you tomorrow." I walked with Jag to the lunch room.

"That was risky you know." I told him.

"What was?" He said with a smile. "

Trying to get on her bad side that quickly. She is a powerful witch and she can and will get you back. But she's not that good at intellectual stuff." I told him without realizing what he could do with that information.

"Annabelle." I heard Mason call me.

"I saw you in Self Defense. Your eyes were completely black I saw them myself and since your not a demon this worry's me."

He said. "I'm fine." I told him. And to myself I said "I hope."
Gwen

"Gwen." I heard him say weakly.

"Yes."

"Am I ok?"

"Yes you are." I said with a little giggle. The bell rang for fourth period.

"I'm going to go."

"Go ahead I'll be fine." So I started walking to my class and the hallway went from a million people to absolutely none. I walked into a talkative class. So I quickly sat down in my seat before anyone could notice I was late.

"Did it really happen?" It took me a minute to realize someone was talking to me.

"Uhhh did what happen?"

"Did Annabelle really kill your boyfriend?" I giggled but then I stopped when I realized they were serious.

"Hell no! Where did you hear that shit?"

"Around. Sorry I didn't introduce myself I'm Ryan Fowler. I'm an elf."

"Oh, hey Ryan." Annbelle said.

"You guys know each other?" I asked them.

"Yeah we go way back." She said with a little laugh and Ryan laughed with her.

"Ok." I nodded and started listening to the teacher while Annabelle and Ryan were whispering behind me. Then I heard this booming voice say

"Now we will take the test." Shit! I didn't study. I didn't know we were supposed to study.

"This is a pretest and will not be graded."

"Thank god!" I whispered to myself. "Once your done you may wait untill the bell and then leave."

The teacher said so I blessed my pen to do all the work by itself, it could only use what I knew but my wrist won't cramp. In 5 minutes i was done. Then the bell rang and I was immediately out of my seat and pretty much runnig to my next class.

Sadly it was science. The whole time all I heard was blah blah blah blah blah.

I only learned one thing and that was Steven Gruner is really funny. It was minutes before the bell so everyone was talking.

"Don't forget we are hanging out with Karley and Mason."

"Oh, yeah thanks for reminding me." Then the teacher said

"Class is over i will see you tomorrow." So everyone left and went to 6th period.

I went in and an hour later I came out.

Next is Potions with Karley probably the most entertaining out of the whole day. So I mixed all the ingredients tested them on our frog and then I raised my hand.

"I'm done, now what should I do."

"Well gwen since class is almost over I will let you pick a friend and you two can leave early."

"I pick Karly." I heard her whisper a yes as we left the classroom.

"I'll meet you infront of the school." I told Karly. So I got my stuff and flashed outside of the school. Only to meet Karley, Mason and Annabelle.

"How did you two get out so early?"

"I have my ways" Annabelle sounded proud.

"Annabelle said we can go to her house." Mason told me.

*********************************************

"Let's go then." Annabelle flashed us all out of the schoolyard and into her bedroom.

"So whatcha guys wanna do?" Annabelle asked the rest of us for any ideas.

"We could hex some people." I suggested.

"That will keep me occupied. How about you guys?" Annabelle said. Mason and Karley nodded in agreement.

"Ok now the only questions left are who should we hex and what hex should we give them?" Annabelle informed us. This was my oppurtunity. While evreyone was thinking I said

"We could make Jag say only the truth."

"Ok, that's fine." Annabelle sounded hestitant. So I said the spell and I made sure it reached jag then I got up and said

"Now what?" Just then Karley got a text and looked up quickly and said

"Sorry guys I really have to go to this thing with my mom. Bye" As she ran down the stairs and out the door.

"Well lets start those potions." Annabelle said.

"Hey Mason can you call up Conor and Emily and see if they can come over. Great your the best!"

So I taught annabelle how to make the potions and after me showing her one time she got the hang of it. All of a sudden our rythm was innterupted by the sound of the door bell. It was Emily and Conor.

"Emily can you and the guys go upstairs and make the attack routes."

"Alright." Everyone said at once then got to work. In only three hours we got all 1,000 potions done and all the attack routes planned.

Even with all that accomplished Annabelle still seemed stressed.

"There's a lot more to do guys. We have to figure out how we will start the first battle." Annabelle said.

"Why do we have to start it?" I asked.

"Because if they start it then they get the element of surprise. So it could be anywhere at anytime."

"Oh." I replied. Then there was silence while we figured out how to start it.

"I got it!" Emily yelled after 10 minutes.

"Annabelle, the other shape shifters and me could transform into weapons. Then you guys can leave us out and when the other side picks us up we can attack from the inside." The whole group broke out into congrats for Emily. But then Conor stopped abruptly.

"You know what I noticed?"

"What" Annabelle replied to him. "The new girl hasn't picked a side yet."

"Oh, yeah but it's the werewolf side right?" Annabelle asked me.

"Uhhh well can't I help you guys out without fully being on your side?"

"No!" They all yelled at me.

"Well. I guess i will have to answer you guys tomorrow but right now I have to go." So I picked up my stuff and left.
