Enchanted Diaries_ a Mix of Things.
Dear diary,
My name is Ana Smith and I am a witch. Yes, I know what you are thinking: ugly pimpled faced, crooked white puffy hair, or just the same witch that rides on broom sticks, cursing people. No, I am just an ordinary witch. No pimples, no pointed nose or yellow teeth. I have a friend named Elizabeth Montgomery (not the star that stars in 'Bewitched'.) and she is a witch. And another friend named Bertha who is not a witch. Bertha does not know that we are witches but me and Lizzy (Short for Elizabeth.) are planning to tell her. Her are my entries for this year.
Dear diary, March 1st.
Today is the day we are supposed to start school. Mrs. Hush gave us masses of homework we got to complete. I hated Mrs. Hush, but not as hated as Lizzy. Lizzy even more hates Mrs. Hush. We call her Hush Baby in private. Hush Baby thinks Lizzy is a bad girl in class. Lizzy loves to play tricks on people and I know what you are thinking. Yes; you are correct: nasty magic tricks. Here are a few of them made by Lizzy last year:
- In year three, when Ms. Mickey was telling her off because she poked her tongue out at a boy named Lan Ginger, Lizzy hid her finger behind her back, so no one was watching-except for me, she twirled her finger three times, reciting: nasty ploy, ginger jail, make Mickey step into heels and burp three times plus more.
That spell was trouble. A lot. Then, Ms. Mickey fell down, flat on her bum, and then burped three times. The whole class laughed. Except for some sensible girls who helped her up.
- When the Get Fit teacher was hanging from the monkey bars, Lizzy made worms come out of her butt. EW. I can't even talk about it!
- Lizzy made one of the year sixes chock, using a spell I have never heard of.
- Last one because I am wasting my time of last year's things: Lizzy made Jimmy's handwriting look messy so he lost his pen license.
Dear Diary, March 2nd,
What a start to the second day of school! At lunch, Lizzy and I told Bertha our secret. Bertha was shocked, she dropped her sandwich and her mouth was wide open. Then she said, "I don't believe yous." Lizzy wanted to prove to her that we were really wizards and magical people, so Lizzy said, "Fine, don't trust us? I'll make Jimmy's pencil covered in grease at class." This was trouble. I quickly jumped in. "Lizzy is also part mermaid. But in the tradition, they called it merfish." Bertha said, "Swear that you did not lie?" she sighed when she said that. We swore and told Bertha some spells. We told her some rainbow spells, water ones and fire ones. Bertha was amazed. Then I told her about Magic Land. "We meet there every night in Magic Land." I exclaimed. "How do you enter?" I gave a stern look and said that only people who have magic can enter in. Then Lizzy told her right now there are always yearly sales at the Magic Store. Then told her about the pet shops where they sell unicorns and cats and rats and even owls. She was amazed again and asked if we have any pets. I told her yes that I had two pets: one cat and one unicorn. I described it proudly. It went like this:
Me: the unicorn is named Charlie and he is black all over with blue tail and mane and hooves. Once he got kidnapped.
Lizzy: why don't I know about this?!
Me: shush, Lizzy! Can't you see that I am exclaiming?
Bertha: tell me about the kidnap! (Whines.)
Me: the goblins took him and sold him to an evil owner. I'd lost him for five days. But then I got him back.
Dear diary, March 4th,
I went to Magic Land with Aunt Mia (Witch, too.), since I am only living in Australia for half the year and going back to USA in summer holidays to see my real mom, dad, sister Fiona and the rest of my Magical Family and visiting my boyfriend. (Jokes.) Lizzy is the same. Lizzy slept over this night. I'm writing in bed, using my normal magic: sunlight, moonlight or even natural light. We went to Magic Land together with Aunt Mia after school for some shopping. (Aunt Mia wanted to buy some Miracle Candles and Vanishing Perfume.) Usually Aunt Mia does not let us go to Magic Land After 8 cos' that's when we gotta go to sleep whereas tomorrow is a school day but she didn't say it today so Lizzy suggests we could go. Lizzy and I are only beginner wizards. You can go to Magic School when you are over 15. We have to get our wands at our stage. Lizzy says it's best to go tonight because that's when the wands are on sale. When we entered the shop, heaps of kids at our age were there, fighting for the best wands. Most kids were using their Natural magic (Like my one is Light.), trying to aim for the best wands. So Pulley, the shop keeper, tried to calm them down. Pulley was a nice man. When the hassle was done, Lizzy and I went through to the wand shelf. Most wands were gone but some were available. I glanced at one, right at the top shelf. It was a rather 30cm wand and had magical colorful lava and glitter inside. It was like it is saying, "Pick me!" but I looked at the other wands. They were all different sizes and colors. I asked Pulley, "How much is that Lava Wand?" When I asked that question, Lizzy glanced up and spied on the lava wand. Then said, "Ana; I like this wand. It suits me better don't you think?" she pointed at another wand on the middle shelf. That wand was pale blue and had symbols on it. I shrugged and asked a question again. Pulley said it was 13 coins. I only had 10 coins. 2 coins short. Damn! I said that I was 2 coins short. You see, you will not get how we use the money in Magic Land. 1 coin = a penny. If you say Australia it = only 10c. The Symbol Wand that Lizzy wanted was 20 coins! And Lizzy had 50 coins from her rich Uncle who works at the Magic Land Museum. Pulley said sorry but he needed the exact price. Lizzy quickly paid 20 coins for the Symbol Wand so she has 30 coins left and she was such a good friend she gave me 2 coins and one extra. So I bought that lava wand. Pulley said it was getting late and the Adult Ceremony is nearly on. 'Adult Ceremony' is a ceremony for adults every second day at midnight. No kids allowed. We waved good bye to Pulley, took our wands and we summoned away back to home.
Dear diary, March 5th,
Bertha wanted to come along to Magic Land as well. Lizzy said no because Bertha didn't have magic and it is the law to let someone enter Magic Land who doesn't have magic. Class time and morning was fine until… Lizzy and I found out that Bertha told our secret to a swarm of people!!! Some friend! I hated her! Lizzy says that Bertha told her little sister, Jennifer and Jennifer told lots of other kids in her grade and different grades!!!!!!! I was shocked. Surprised. Lizzy said we could have revenge. But I was too shocked to even twitch or recite a spell! How could she?? Why could she??? Gr! This afternoon, I went over to Lizzy's so we can help each other out for some homework. After we finished homework, we went through Maries' book of spells (Marie is 15 and is Lizzy's sister and goes to Magic School.) There were at least 35 spells. They were all grouped in columns. We found a good page saying, 'It's Pay Back Time.' We read about making peoples hairs fall out or getting people's grades going down but there was one thing that interest Lizzy and I a lot. It was called, 'Use your Wand.' I said, "We should try our new wands. Especially for the revenge." Lizzy says we gotta practice before we do anything wrong. So, we summoned to Magic Land and got back our wands we've hidden at Lizzy's Uncle's Museum. When I heard the doorbell ring it was Aunt Mia coming to pick me up. I said, "Let's meet at Magic Land tomorrow. That's when Aunt Mia sleeps over at her friend's house." I said.
Dear diary, March 6th,
Today is a Saturday so more time at Magic Land-Hurray! So, this morning, Aunt Mia took me and Lizzy to the Magic Land's Clothe Shops. Then, she went to her friend's house and let us exploring with our new wands. We decided before we do something to Bertha, which should not be serious we got to tell her first. So we typed her an email: Bertha, Why did you tell that awful sister of yours? Why? You have betrayed us as being BFF's. Me & Lizzy are totally not you friend's anymore, so you can hang out with the little kid's! And don't bother emailing Lizzy! She knew first! Yours untruly, Ana and Lizzy.
We all thought it was a good letter. ML's laptop systems don't send stuff to the normal world straight away so had to wait until tomorrow. After that, we went to visit 'Magic Land's Star Shop' that sold cheap things. Guess what? Lizzy had 27 coins to spend and I had 1 coin. What a rip out! Only dumb pencils were worth 1 coin and erases. Lizzy said she can't give anyone money unless they trade her. That's her uncles' rules. I traded her for a pink ring on my finger that Bertha gave me when we were at preschool. It was a little rude but I did not care. She gave me 5 coins. This meant I had 6 coins. Lizzy bought 2 magical liquid papers that disappear the mistake which cost only 3 coins. Then, with her other 21 coins, she spent it on a 8 coin book about science and tech. I laughed when she bought it. She asked, "What?" I said that it was funny imagining her learning about granites. I only had 6 coins so I am going to spend it wisely so I bought a magic nail polish colored blue jelly bean which cost me 2 coins. We left that shop and went to the pet store to see the pets we can buy. But then we had to leave because Aunt Mia had to go back.
Dear diary, March 7th,
The next day Bertha did read that email and she was surprise. She stomped right onto us and recess and asked, "How dare you!" she was carrying a piece of paper that I think it was a copy of the email. I gulped. But Lizzy said, "How dare you! You know you aren't allowed to spit out secrets, you blabber mouth!" Bertha just said, "Well watch me!" and stomped to Hush Baby and gave her the copy of emails to read. Lizzy nudged me and raised an eyebrow. I knew Lizzy will get in big trouble from her mum, aunt and dad and so will I but I pointed out it wasn't a big email. The convoy went like this:
Lizzy: oh-o. We're in trouble.
Me: oh, shush! It's not a big deal! We just said we don't want to be friends with her and is that a big issue? No!
Lizzy: But Bertha is telling every single bit and maybe some lies. I'm scared.
Me: (Roll eyes.) c'mon! It's not black mail or murder mail or whatever? Did we put on: 'we are going to get you for this' on our email-no. So-
I got distracted by Hush Baby calling my name and Lizzy's too. We jogged to her. Hush Baby asked if we had send the emails and showed us the copy. I nodded but said, "Mrs. Hush, it was because she told our secret and we were too shy to tell her in person so we did it as an email." Hush asked why did we write, 'That awful sister of yours', referring to Jennifer. Lizzy was way too afraid to say anything so I said mostly everything. "Because she told Jennifer. After all, we didn't type up the word 'Jennifer'; that will be rude, we just said sister." Hush Baby got Lizzy and I in detention all through the day.
Dear diary, March 8th,
I want to go back to the USA!!! No agreements. I just can't seem to control my troubles. Here are a few troubles: - Bertha. Yes, Bertha. I want to be friends with her again and so does Lizzy. But how? She gives each and every person in the class greetings and smiles but all we get are the dirty looks and eye-rolls.
- Hush Baby thinks I'm the worst person in the class along with Lizzy all because of a stupid email. I want to start this thing all over again if this is a life of a wizard.
- My lies. I don't mean to say them, but I wanted Bertha to understand about; Magic Land and its shops. Like, that fib, that I have a pet unicorn named Charlie, it really isn't true except in real life but Bella, and my cat also is magical.
- Lizzy is my only best friend in the whole school and I really think we are the only people in the school who have magic.
- Goblins. We just hate them. When I went to swing on ML's Magic Swings, a goblin named Glossy chucked banana peels and grease on my head and somehow the swings magic got out of control and had gone crazy.
Cannot go to Magic Land ever again with Lizzy!
Dear diary, March 8th,
Meet a vampire on the way to Magic Land by myself when I went north. I had forgotten that it's dangerous to go north where most vampires are. I did not get bitten, though I talked my way out sweetly. The convoy went like this:
Vampire: Not so fast, little girl, where are you going.
Me: uh... um… I was- excuse me, I see some other mortals at the top of that Content Mountain. There seem to be heaps of them and they're ready to be your dinner.
Vampire: Lunchie! (Disappears in a cloud of black smoke.)
I felt guilty for the troop on the Content Mountains. It was true that I did think that I'd trick the vampire but instead I gave it to eat lots of innocence. There was still two more innocence screaming as that vampire was sharping its teeth to eat them. I knew I had to do something. But why didn't they use their magic? If they were mortals, they could not enter magic land and they wouldn't get their selves into all this mess. I had to think fast. After all, I made them into this mess. I climbed on top of the Content Mountains. (Almost cut a knee.) And was puffing when I got to the top. (Asthma attack.) When I got to the top, vampire was ready, when I yelled out to the 2 girls, "Why don't you use your magic?" When the girls didn't answer that vampire knew it was me and said, "You!" I smiled weakly and said hi and then ran all the way from the mountain. (Seemed to tumble and roll and got headache.) Never saw vampire again.
Dear diary, March 9th,
Bertha is now our friend with me and Lizzy. I don't know how it happened but it sure did! I wasn't ready to tell her I'd fibbed about the unicorn. Then it'll wreck friend ships with me and Lizzy that'll get into Bertha. This is how it is today:
When I tell Bertha that I'd lied in private.
She will tell Lizzy and will never trust me and Lizzy about being witches and BFF's.
So, that means, Bertha will never ever trust me or Lizzy.
Then Lizzy will never trust me or be my friend.
Bertha will not trust me or Lizzy about being witches and then Lizzy will break up our friendship all because of me not wanting Bertha to trust us. Ditto.
Dear diary, March 10th,
OK, this is how it is today! I will not put it in list. Well, I told Bertha that I fibbed in the loo's and before she can yell, I used a spell to zip her lips so she can't say anything then locked her in the loo's and I came out just like this: Sunlight Travel Light, take me to where what I say what I might! As simple as that and went to go over with Lizzy. We went to a hollow tree next to a small lake. You can only have a Lake Pass to sit near the lake. I and Lizzy were the only ones. I told Lizzy. Zipped her and used a bubble spell to make her pop inside a bubble and pushed her inside the lake, making sure the duty teacher didn't see and make sure she can breathe. What did I do next? I went and hung out with Mike Peterson and Jade Fargo, the two boys who always play battles. Mike told me to mind his lunch and Jade said I can be the Referee and gave me a piece of paper of rules. I did not know what a referee was, but then Andy Martha came and then had a fight with the other 2. Got annoyed. Went to see Bertha. She was strangling. Unzipped her lips and unlocked her. She was crying and ran out of the loo. Went to see Lizzy. Bend over the lake but fell in it instead. Landed on Lizzy. She said, "What the…" the duty teacher came. Yelled at us for playing in the water. Lizzy said she'll never ever speak to me again for 3000 things: Fibbing to her, pushing her in the water and making a bubble and locking Bertha up in the loo so now Bertha's not me or Lizzy's friend. I said it was only 3 things in detention time. Lizzy just said, "3 times equals too many." So know I have no friends!
Dear diary, March 11th,
I have too many troubles. Number 1, my friends. They'll never trust me or each other. Number 2, I am a victim of a vampire. Yes, I know scary and spooky but I am annoyed. A vampire came up to my house and I used sunlight hands so the vampire named Savage would go away, but she just said, "I'll be back!" I wasn't scared like you would think I would be. I was annoyed. I miss my friends. Especially Lizzy. Now I can't borrow money or go with her to Magic Land. I texted Lizzy: y r u mad?
Lizzy: u knows! Lying, pushing me in wter. N breaking FS's wif me n bertha.
Bertha: (sending to my phone number only.) I hate u n Lizzy evn more. I just know tht u 2 plan it!
Me: sorry!!!! Please 4give me! I beg bof of u.
That was the end of the texting. But then Lizzy phoned me and said she forgave me but it was my last chance. I said thank you and hung up. 5 minutes later Bertha phoned me and said sorry for being a bad-tempered cow. One problem: solved. And so is that vampire problem: Savage didn't come tonight. So I'm glad!
Dear diary, March 11th,
OK, this is how it is, this week!
Bertha likes Mike.
Andy likes Lizzy.
Lizzy likes Timin.
Mike likes me.
Jade likes Bertha.
I like Jade.
Anything else???? No, I hate romantic stuff. Yuk. All the pashing and heart-beating. The convoy went like this at school in the morning:
Bertha: we should be honest with each other.
Lizzy: yeah, like say who we really like!
Bertha: I really like Mike.
Me: (Jumping in.) well, sorry, but Mike likes me!
Bertha: well you do not like him so you don't have to go to the movies with him or whatever!
Lizzy: Ana can't make Mike like you, Bertha.
Bertha: she could if she can stop hair-flicking him.
Me: am not! Though I like Jade, so there!
End of convoy. We all asked the boys that we liked so we can go to the movies with them. But we first asked the boys that we liked and they all said no. So then, I asked Mike, he said yes, Lizzy asked Andy, he said yes and Bertha asked Jade and he said yes. We are all going to the movies tomorrow night.
Dear diary, March 12th,
We entered the movies. I was worried. "What if three show up and Mike doesn't?" I asked. "We'll just see what happens." Said Lizzy. She said if it does happen, she'll make Mike show up by using a spell she'd learnt from her rich granddad in Magic Land. Today was the worst day of this month so far. A Monday. Damn! We went to the movies. Found out that I just had a 5 dollar note. Bertha said, "They can buy the tickets and we can buy the drinks, after all, that's fair." I liked the idea. We bought drinks and popcorn. Problems solved, now where to sit? We sat fairly in the middle. Bertha was next to me with Jade. I asked her, "What to do if they want to pash?" Bertha shrugged and dogged into a bag of popcorn and ate a mouth full like a hippopotamus carrying a baby. Half way around the movie, Mike was smiling. Then, trouble arrived. I saw my younger sister in the USA. Ally. What was she doing here? She was supposed to be in the USA with mum! "Ally," I whispered to Lizzy. "Oh-o. This is not going good." She smiled to Ally who frowned back grimly. Oh no! What Ally going to do? Oh no! I hope she doesn't tell my mother about what me, Bertha and Jade were up to. Disaster struck. Jade started jumping and fluffing on her seat. And I felt every part of me stricken. I felt like the whole world has turned upside down and inside out. It was like in the Nibbler. Everything seemed to turn upside down and inside out. I really do hope that Ally does not tell. And I really do hope that no one tells, in the matter of fact. I'd be dead meat. Dead meat. PLAIN DEAD MEAT!! Mark suddenly itches away from me. Why? Because I have been panicking, that's why. Have you ever panicked before? Believe me it's not a good feeling. Anyway, what happened next was that I felt a sharp jab in the ribs. I was dreaming. I gasped open. It was my mum. My real mum. Jabbing me. "You're late for school," she scolded. I was sweating. So, all I dreamt was all just a dream! This was real!
The end.
