The kids at school all buzzed about it. Especially since Alice Mary Jurikiewicz had flown away. Of course about a dozen kids swore that they were with her and saw the whole thing.

With each retelling the stories got wilder and more interesting. One kid said she'd had a holy smile on her face and that her hands were crossed against her chest. One girl said she saw a broomstick and that proved she was a witch. Alice Mary's best friend Chloe said she'd talked of running away.
