We Will Go Down In History Remus

At Banshee's house

"Alyssa, you are trying to rush things. I can't just go about casting spells all willy nilly" Banshee could be heard trying to correct her daughter about something.

"Mum, I am not asking you to do much. All I need is just one little spell that I can use on Lakshmi. She is the only thing that is blocking my path right now" Alyssa tried to make her mum understand.

"No Alyssa, the only thing hindering you right now is your laziness. I never expected you to be this lazy.

You are the one that claims you have feelings for Scott so I feel you should be working towards making him like you.

And as for Lakshmi, I feel you just need to get yourself in her good books" Banshee was packing Alyssa's lunch in her school bag while Alyssa was having her breakfast.

"You think I am not trying mum? I am but.." Alyssa suddenly choked on her food.

"But what Alyssa?" Her mum raised an eyebrow as she handed her some water.

"But it's not as easy as you think. Lakshmi isn't the type of person you can easily trick into liking you or doing what you want. She is just…. Well… I don't know how to describe her" Alyssa was getting fed up even by her own words.

"I know Alyssa…. You have to go to school now. When you come back we will talk about this more. And don't forget what I told you…try to get in her good books" she kissed her daughter on the forehead.

At Mia's school

"You have a long face?" Mia blurted out to her friend Lakshmi,who was busy searching for something in her unorganized locker.

"What?" Lakshmi stopped her actions at once as she began to touch her face, checking if it had grown longer than its normal length.

Then she took a sudden pause… It took her a while but she managed to understand what Mia meant by her having a long face.

"It's nothing Mia….I am fine" Lakshmi tried to lie as she slammed the door of her locker.

"Humans normally lie when they feel it's important to…so I am not going to ask you why you are lying" Mia had a faint smile as she opened Lakshmi's locker and began organizing it.

"Did she just tell me plainly that I was lying to her" Lakshmi thought in her head.

"Yes I did," Mia replied as she had already started sorting out Lakshmi's books, putting the big ones beneath and the smaller ones on top.

"I'm not surprised" Lakshmi blinked her eyes numerous times. She knew Mia was reading her mind but she just didn't want to ask any questions about it.

Already the whole situation was messed up, she didn't want any further complications.

"Hey" Alyssa greeted the girls with a box of chocolates in her hand.

"H…ii.." both girls said at the same time, looking so stunned and lost.

"How was your night Lakshmi?" Alyssa had a very big smile on her face.
