When i looked at her smile, i knew she was up to something. She always smiled her smile in a suspicious way. As she headed out of the room i ran up to her to ask her what she was up to. All she did was smile at me and say "You'll see". The next day at school, she cheated on the math test. When the teacher wasn't looking, she sneaked to the desk and copied the answers from his answer sheet to her hand. Then she ran back to her desk and copied the answers into her paper. She always smiled, a little too much. It seemed like something was wrong with her. I guess she was always happy. She was a bad student and always found herself in trouble. I knew that every time she smiled, she'd have a plan. Her name was Caroline. I usually hanged out with her, but she was always a mystery. She never really talked much about herself. Nessa and i were sitting together in the lunch room eating, while Caroline was still up getting her lunch. Nessa was a girly girl who was very emotional. She rarely knew how to defend herself, i always had her back. Every time she'd get picked on, she always ignored it. I was the one who would always help her out. Even when she always crushed on other guys, and she was too shy to tell them, i would tell them she liked them. Then, they would both end up going on a date. I have to admit that i was a bit annoyed that i always had to do everything for her. When Caroline sat down with us, Nessa started talking about ducky love poems for some reason. She bored us at times when she talked about how love is a beautiful thing, Then she went on and on until I changed the subject. "Did you guys see the new kid?" i said. "Hey, he's kind of cute" Nessa said. Caroline replied, "He's okay". But i could tell Caroline thought he was good looking by the way she was looking at him. Every time she looked at him, and noticed we saw her looking at him, she would look away from him. I would say she didn't want us to know that she actually liked him. I met him at social studies class, his name was Travis. Tall, dark brown hair, and green eyes. We were invited over Caroline's house the next day. Her room was spotless, it was so clean that we thought she was hiding something. Nessa convinced her to open up to us. No wonder she wouldn't talk to us about herself. She had problems with her parents and in school, we were just too blind to see it. Then she told us that she did like Travis. But of course i already knew that. The next day Caroline was asked out on a date by Travis. She said no. She didn't want people to know that they could have had a chance to date. I was surprised by what Nessa did that same day. She really liked Travis too, and that day she had the guts ask him out. How could she do that to Caroline? I talked to Caroline, and told her about what had happened. She bust out in tears, I've never seen her cry to her. I wasn't sure what to do to make her feel better. The next day, Caroline completely changed. She went over to Travis and asked him if he still liked her. He said he did, and somehow they ended up dating. I didn't know what happened to Nessa. But it was like she and Caroline had switched places. Caroline's mom let me in her house. I went up to Caroline's room and saw her sitting on the floor with a picture of Nessa on her hand. There were candles all around her. Caroline looked at me. That smile again, the same smiled she always has when she has a plan. It was witch craft, that she had done to Nessa. I couldn't believe it. I left Caroline's house and went over to Nessa's house. Nessa was gone, her parents weren't there either. There was no trace left from them. I never saw Nessa again. I never said anything to anyone, i was too afraid of Caroline now. She changed everything else but her smile. That evil smile of hers.
