While her fellow cheerleaders, Chloe and the ever bubbly Kylie may name her a witch, Dani has more important things on her mind, such as leading their threesome to some epic cheers that will have the team super motivated for the all important homecoming rivals on the field.<\/p>\n<p>But as Chloe puts it, Xenia, the pale freak with the raven hair and neon red streaks, is competing it seems to motivate the team, hosting a special Homecoming Horror House this year, something a witch should naturally be quite good at.<\/p>\n<p>Rolling her eyes, reminding both of her friends that just because someone dresses and acts like a freak doesn&#8217;t make them a witch, Dani organizes a special practice after school to share the routines she came up with&#8230; but when Chloe doesn&#8217;t show up, the rather simpleminded Kylie is convinced that the witch must have gotten her, because last either of them spoke to Chloe, she was going to get a look at the creepy old book Xenia is always carrying around.<\/p>\n<p>Dismissing Kylie&#8217;s fears, focusing more on the importance of getting some practice in before the big game, Dani is more than a little unnerved the next day. All day in school no matter what teacher she asked about Chloe&#8217;s unexpected disappearing act, her absence in class, the teachers simply seemed confused&#8230; almost as though they never remembered having a student named Chloe.<\/p>\n<p>Could Kylie and Chloe have been right? Could Xenia have cast some sort of spell from her creepy old book affecting the teachers of the school?<\/p>\n<p>When even Kylie doesn&#8217;t show up for the after school cheer practice, enough is enough. Dani has to know just what if anything Xenia is up to. And that is when she decides a friendly confrontation is due, heading over to Xenia&#8217;s address, to where the class freak has been supposedly busy setting up her Homecoming Horror House.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately Dani learns the lesson that sometimes being paranoid that someone is a witch, like her friends were, is anything but an overactive imagination. But they were very wrong about one thing&#8230; Xenia hasn&#8217;t been creating a Homecoming Horror House to motivate the team.<\/p>\n<p>Xenia may be a freak&#8230; but she&#8217;s a freak with just as much school spirit as the cheerleaders, and she has just the way of spelling victory for the team, truly motivating them like no one else could.<\/p>\n<p>Fortunately for Dani and her friends, they&#8217;re going to play the most important part, even if it literally spells out a new chapter in their perky little lives.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.smashwords.com\/books\/view\/755495\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Find it on Smashwords now!<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B076VL718Z\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Now On Amazon!<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Coming next..
