Chapter 123: Any Chance At Normal

Life went back to normal. If you could call normal, well, normal. Which meant everything was horribly wrong.

Okay, not everything. Only my missing power and the fact Quaid avoided me. It still hurt.

Which left me wide open to Brad. He seemed startled the first day I went back to school, and acted a little funny around me, but he still wanted to take me to prom. There was no need to turn him down anymore, so I was all for it.

Take that and stick it somewhere uncomfortable, Quaid Moromond.

As for my friends, they all acted like nothing happened and I wondered how much of the whole thing the coven managed to erase. Mia was back to her normal Pain self and as tight with Blood as ever. They were all waiting for me in the nook at the front door when I returned to school on Thursday after only one day off. All of a sudden it was same old same.

I mentioned Benjamin's name once and they looked at me blankly like I was nuts.

So I dropped it. Happily.
