Banshee’s POV
Finally everything was falling into place. I threw the necklace into the boiling pot and as expected the whole thinking bubbled some more like a volcano but what I didn’t expect was the eruption of the contents and the whole thing was ruined as it spilled recklessly on the floor.
“MUM!” Alyssa exclaimed and ran out of the room almost immediately.
“I also moved away from the pot as well.
After the whole thing had cooled down I went into the room to see the damage, the necklace was half burnt and the floor was smoking.
“WHAT?” I gasped. It was totally impossible…this necklace is indestructible.
“What happened?” Alyssa looked at the floor and then she looked back at me.
“You have been played…this…this is fake” I picked up the necklace and threw it at the wall. It broke into pieces at once.
“No it…it can’t be” she tried to argue.
“Oh just stop it…shut up and get out of my sight ” I sent her out.
I thought I was the one that cursed Mia but why I’m I feeling cursed?
This daughter of mine must be a curse…look how she has just wasted all my ingredients. These ingredients were so difficult to get.
A few months later
“SCHOOL DANCE” Lakshmi screamed at the top of her voice. She couldn’t just believe it…she and Mia were already in their final year of high school and she wasn’t going to miss the school dance for anything in the world.
“YES… I am so happy Mia” Lakshmi grabbed Mia’s elbows and spinned her round in the hallway. Confused, Mia just felt dizzy and she wanted the whole thing to stop.
She couldn’t understand why her friend was so happy and throwing tantrums at the same time…Lakshmi didn’t even care that her hair which was packed in a ponytail was now loose and pouring everywhere.
“WOAH” a deep male voice echoed from behind Lakshmi.
“I never expected to see my sister going insane” Scott stopped Lakshmi from spinning and only then did Lakshmi realize that she was feeling dizzy and she lost her balance.
Scott was able to catch her just in time before she crashed to the floor.
“You are crazy” he scolded her as he helped her stand on her feet.
“You are the crazy one and not me Scott. I am so happy that I will no longer be a high school student anymore…I’m going to university soon you know so respect me” Lakshmi stumped her left foot on the floor as she held her waist.
“I am in the university and yet you do not respect me. Respect goes both ways” Scott didn’t want to let his sister win this argument the way she always won the others.
But Lakshmi will always be Lakshmi as she stepped on his foot very roughly and he started jumping on one leg.
“That’s good at least now you won’t mess with me” Lakshmi snapped her fingers and flaunted her hair in his face.
“Hmm.. very funny” he faked a smile.
“Mia let’s get going” Scott offered and they both left with him.
Almost every teenager at school was excited, except a few like Mia, she didn’t even see a good reason behind it… she just wanted to attend because she knew it would make Lakshmi very happy.
Lkshmi was the most excited about the school’s dance for high school final year students. there was just one problem…almost everyone would be going in pairs…a girl and a boy.
Normally the boys would ask the girl out on a dance but no one wanted to ask either of them out.
The seniors who had crushes on both girls had graduated the previous year and no guy was daring enough to ask them out.
So Lakshmi decided that they would be each other’s partners and she also invited Scott.. well she didn’t invite him…that was the only way her father would let her stay out so late at night.
On that special day
“Stay still Mia…if you don’t then I will make a terrible mistake” Lakshmi scolded her friend as she started doing her makeup.
Mia was making it difficult for her since she was moving too much but Lakshmi managed to do it anyway.
“There… all finished…now we are ready” Lakshmi made Mia stand as they both looked at themselves in the mirror.
Lakshmi had put so much effort in making them look alike, she wanted to look like Mia’s twin.
“Now we look so much alike…it would have been better if we wore the same dress” Lakshmi was disappointed.
“It is the same just that mine is longer,” Mia giggled.
Hearing Mia laughed like that really made Lakshmi so happy…it was just a feeling that was out of this world.
For the party…there was a color of the day.. two actually as they were asked to put on strictly wine red and silver… for the girls and black and red for the boys. Anyone who went contrary to this, may not be allowed to the party.
While Mia chose a longer red dress with a silver belt that was more fishtail like. Lakshmi chose a red dress that was short, simple and flair that it barely passed her knees.
Both girls looked very beautiful…after all Lakshmi had put so much effort on their looks. She made sure to get the makeup exactly the same.
Laskhmi made Mia practice how to walk on heels for two weeks and she was finally ready to put on the silver 9 inches heels that Lakshmi had gotten for them both.
They looked exactly the same and for some weird reason they both wore the same size of show.
“WOW…I think I am having a heart attack” Scott held his chest and squeezed it very tightly as he began to vibrate his body like someone having a stroke.
“Scott stop with your nonsense now and take us to the party” Lakshmi was getting bittered, she pouted her lips.
“I have heard you ma.. dam but I was just adoring the beauties in front of me. I never knew it was such a huge crime to do that.
I am so sorry your majesty…now I have upset the queen but it wasn’t really my intention” Scott took a bow and Mia laughed at them both.
