"No legacy is so rich as honesty." When Shakespeare wrote that, he obviously didn't know what I know about teenage boys. I mean, I know there are guys with integrity, who lead with truth. I've just never met any of them.

Hope and I are talking to Emma.

"I see you've decided to double down on your nihilism this morning."

"I'm trying to be rich with honesty."

"Start from the beginning, both of you" she looks at me and I cross my arms and slump into the chair.

"Did anyone help you with the spell?" She asked looking at both of us.

"And what happens when you do?"

"It should be said that Shakespeare wasn't completely clueless." I say walking out of the room I see Josie and Lizzie, I walk up to them.

"Hey girls" I greet them, they looked at me and smiled.

"Hey Chase" they both said, then continued their conversation.

"He had plenty of advice about how to handle betrayal. My personal favorite: "Think, therefore, on revenge and cease to weep. " Let's hit the dining hall and carb load. It's game day."
