James was concerned about what just happened. He just used a spellbook, an actual spellbook, on his crush. An actual spellbook from that crazy, scary lady at that shop. The worse thing about it was that he didn't know what he had cursed Nicola with. He could have cursed her with super long arms, or made her act like a chicken without notice, or made her believe that she was a baby, or...
...or...
James looked at Nicola in confusion. Nicola was scratching her head. Sure, that sounded normal, but she didn't do it normally. She was scratching her head like she was doing the "I'm a Teapot" dance, having her fingers scratch while her whole hand and arm stayed up.
"Nicola?"
Nicola still scratched her head in the same way while responding "Yeah?"
"What are you doing?"
"I'm scratching my head, what does it look like?"
James was confused, she never did do things like that. "Are you feeling okay, Nicola?"
Nicola turned to James "Don't say you actually think that what you said will curse me. It's all mumbo jumbo that she's trying to scare us with. Lighten up". Nicola didn't notice that the sides of her head were slightly hairy, like she was growing mutton chops. James was worried, but still walked with Nicola to see if everything was still okay.
