You trust mom to act cool around Abbie, and you have a reason to get to school today.

You wish you could stay home, just to be positive that your mother doesn’t give anything away to Abbie, but you gave mom explicit instructions, and you think she can handle it. Besides, you remember that you cast the Enchantment of Eros spell on Tracey last night, and you’re excited to see how it worked. If it affects her anything like it did your mom, things will be looking up for you.

You look for Tracey by the lockers before classes start, but don’t catch her there. When lunchtime arrives, you walk into the cafeteria keeping your eye out for her. You see her at a table with some friends. This would be easier if no one else was around. Even though you can manage to summon the nerve to talk to Tracey because you’re pretty sure she’s enchanted. The group around her are going to make it harder for you to approach her, especially that girl Leah, who doesn’t seem to like you. You certainly won’t be able to have the kind of conversation necessary to find out if she really is enchanted with an audience around. You want to separate her from the group somehow.

You feel shaky as you approach the table. You give a little wave and nod as you say, “Hey Tracey?”

She turns towards you and smiles wide. “Hi Dave!” She sounds excited and happy to see you. The spell might be working.

Leah looks much less thrilled. She scowls when she sees Tracey’s reaction to you, but doesn’t say anything.

“Yeah, um, you’re gonna be in English Lit. today, right?” You stammer out. You blank on coming up with any plausible reason for her to come away from her friends and talk to you improvise. “Can I ask you a favor? To, you know, let me know if Ms. Fellows assigns any homework, and maybe let me copy your notes? I might not be in class today.”

Tracey nods, “I’d be happy to. Why won’t you be in class? Everything all right?” she asks. Next to her, Leah is looking more and more annoyed that you’re still here talking.

Now you need to explain that. “Just not feeling great. I’m heading to the nurse, might go home early.”

Tracey gets up from her seat. “Oh! Let me walk you there. I hope it’s nothing serious.” She walks around the table towards you. That surprises you, and Leah even more, if the look on her face means anything, the petite black girl’s eyebrows shoot up as she watches Tracey grab your arm.

Tracey starts to lead you out of the cafeteria. She pulls her phone out and hands it to you, “Here, give me your number, so I can call you and get the homework and notes to you.” Leah and the other girls at the table stare after you both as you walk out of the cafeteria.

This is promising. It almost certainly means the spell worked. Might as well find out for sure. You take a breath and ask, “Maybe I could get your number too?” as you walk down the hall towards the nurse’s office.

She grins wide and nods, “Of course.”

You type your number into her phone, then hit it to dial your phone. Once your rings, you hang up. Now you have her number. Next test of the spell. “Would you mind if I called you sometime, not about school — just to hang out, maybe?”

She takes her phone back, and pouts. “I think I would mind, if all you wanted to do with me is hang out,” she says in a teasing voice.

“I was kind of hoping you’d talk to me today.” Tracey continues. “That asking for my hair yesterday was just an excuse to talk to me.” She gives you a bump of her hip as she walks next to you. “I mean, it took you long enough, we’ve been in school together for years, and it’s just a month until graduation.”

“I… I’m shy around pretty girls.” You admit.

“Oh, you think I’m pretty then.” Tracey grins. “I’m glad to hear it. I wasn’t sure you ever even noticed me. You ignored me so much.”

“I didn’t want to stare and make you think I’m creepy.” You chuckle.

“I wouldn’t think that.” She assures you, as you reach the door to the nurse’s office.

“Are you sure? What if I told you I didn’t need to go to the nurse? I just made up leaving early to have another excuse to talk to you,” you smile at her. If she goes for that, you’ll be almost positive that she’s enchanted.

“I’d be flattered.” The beautiful blonde beams at you. “You don’t have to make up any excuses to talk to me anymore, though, just call me.” She faces you and leans in, her eyes half close as she turns her face towards yours and inhales.

You lean in and touch your lips to hers. They feel warm and soft. She kisses you back. Her arms wrap around your neck. You can taste her lip gloss. Your legs feel shaky, so you lean back against the wall. Your cock is stiffening to rock hardness, and you worry about her noticing it. You never kissed a girl before, so you feel awkward and unsure if you’re doing anything right.

Tracey leans her body into you though, and you hear her let out a quiet moan. You don’t know where to put your hands, so you rest them on her hips. At that, she grinds her crotch against yours, pinning your stiff shaft between your bodies.

She pulls back from the kiss, to look you in the eye as she keeps grinding against the hard on in your jeans. “I’m glad you’re not really sick. That means I can come over to your house after school, and we can do something about this.” She grins wickedly.

You notice something out of the corner of your eye. Down the hall, Leah stands staring at the two of you making out. She turns and rushes away.

Tracey looks at you and bites her lip. “I… I should go talk to her. Is it ok with you? I’ll stay if you want me to. I want to stay here with you… but…” she shakes her head as if she’s struggling with her thoughts. “Please say it’s ok if I go talk to her now. I promise I’ll make it up to you after school.”

You wonder what could be so important that she needs to talk to her friend about immediately, but you’re convinced she’s under the spell now, so you aren’t particularly worried about it. You’d really like to keep kissing her now, but you’re also excited to see exactly how she plans to make stopping now up to you later.
