I’d ever call her. “Oh, well thanks.”
    “You’re welcome,” she answered with a smile. Then she grabbed her purse and left.
    I stared at myself in the mirror again, and sighed. She was obviously right – I wanted to lose weight, but was putting up my own roadblocks. I just didn’t know how to knock them down.

    During lunch I nonchalantly looked around for Tyler, but didn’t see him anywhere in the cafeteria.
    “Hey , sis,” smiled Kala. She was sitting with the popular crowd when I walked by her table. “Want to sit with us?”
    The other girls froze and stared at me in horror after that invitation. My sister didn’t seem to notice, though, she just stared at me curiously.
    I shook my head. “No, thanks,” I said, hurrying away.
    “Hey , Kendra,” said Megan Fisher when I was about to walk past her table. She was sitting with three other girls, and all of them were dressed in black.
    “H i,” I said, stopping next to them.
    All four girls had a reputation for being a little strange. In fact , there were rumors that they practiced witchcraft and so almost everyone kept their distance.
    “Saw you with that cute guy , the one with the sunglasses, today in the hall. When Mark was blowing smoke out of his pie-hole, again ,” said Megan.
    I sighed. “Yes, as always he was being a total jerk.”
    “So what’s with you and the new guy? Are you two seeing each other?”
    I shook my head vehemently. “No, we were just walking to class together.”
    Megan looked at her friends and smiled. “Interesting. I mi ght have to get to know t hat tall drink of water. Um, you don’t mind, do you, Kendra?”
    I shrugged. “No, why would I mind?”
    “I just don’t want to step on anyone’s toes.”
    “You wouldn’t be stepping on mine, don’t worry.” Although I had to admit, I did feel a spark of jealously.
    “ So, I’m having a get-together at my house after school. Would you be interested?” asked Megan in a low voice.
    The fact that she was asking me over shocked me. Megan only lived a block away and we used to play together in the neighborhood when we were really young, but that had been years ago. Plus, I’d never seen the inside of her house. She was a nice girl, though, and I could always use new friends. “Maybe. I’ll have to check with my mom when I get home. She may already have plans for me.”
    She smiled warmly. “Okay, I really hope you can make it.”
    Amy and Brenda were sitting together at a table in the back and they waved to me. I excused myself and walked over. I plunked down next to Amy and smiled. “Hey, guys.”
    “Hi. So what were the witches talking to you about?” asked Amy.
    I smiled. “Come on, they’re not witches.”
    “Maybe not, but they’re still pretty creepy,” said Brenda.
    I glanced back over to Megan’s table and none of them were talking to each other. In fact, they were all staring at me, which I had to admit, did kind of gave me the creeps.
    “Okay, so they’re a little different,” I admitted. “ Um, they invited me over to Megan’s house after school.”
    Amy’s jaw dropped. “Are you going to do it?”
    I shrugged. “Maybe.”
    “You can’t go over there,” whispered Brenda. “I heard that Megan’s mother is a real witch and has placed hexes on people.”
    “O h, for Heaven’s sake,” I snorted. “There is no such thing as real witches.”
    Amy frowned. “Don’t be naïve, Kendra. This whole town has a history of women performing witchcraft.”
    I raised my eyebrows. “Really?” We’d only lived in Bayport my entire life and I’d never heard anything about adults studying witchcraft in town.
    Amy nodded. “Yeah, if you look up the town’s history you’ll find several articles written about the ‘Witches of Bayport’.”
    Brenda leaned forward . “I actually did a report last year on them. Many of the witches moved from Salem in the late sixteen hundreds to Bayport, Michigan to
