The event to remember the hardships and commemorate those who died in Salem lasted all afternoon, ending as dusk approached.
Even though the little witches' activities were limited to the cemetery for the witch victims, it still felt like a break for those little witches who had been cooped up in the school for months.
However, after this event, how many of the little witches will actually remember the history of the Salem witch trials? That's anybody's guess.
After dinner, Fiona, as expected, left the witch school. At this point, only Cordelia and two very old witches remained at the school.
These three didn't really manage things; at most, they'd do a quick check of the rooms when it was lights out, and then they wouldn't bother anyone.
Emma saw Madison, Zoe, and Maria constantly exchanging glances. Maria seemed even more excited than Madison, which was kind of weird.
After lights out at ten, Emma saw Maria leave the dorm room. She was a good kid, and an eight-year-old couldn't possibly be going to a nightclub, so Emma just had to play dumb like Carrie and pretend she didn't see anything and go back to sleep.
Maria met up with Madison and Zoe. All three girls were carefully dressed up, wearing revealing clothes and had put on elaborate makeup.
When they got to the school's front gate, Zoe tried pulling it, but it didn't open.
"The gate's locked. How are we going to get out?"
"Leave it to me."
Madison placed her hand on the lock, closed her eyes, and began to use her power.
This girl's ability was telekinesis. She could easily fling an eight-year-old girl away, and she could also manipulate the tumblers of a mechanical lock.
As long as she understood the structure of a mechanical lock beforehand, Madison could open any door with her mind.
With two crisp clicks, the gate opened.
After the three of them left the witch school, the gate closed automatically.
"I didn't expect your power could do something so precise!"
Maria looked at Madison with some surprise because, in her mind, Madison was just someone who liked to act like she was in charge.
Although she was the oldest, her behavior was very childish and didn't seem like someone who would be so meticulous.
"Hmph! There are plenty of things you don't expect!"
Madison picked up on the sarcasm hidden in Maria's words. After all, she had been through the rough and tumble of the entertainment industry. She was just a bit headstrong, not stupid.
However, because of Maria's rumored track record, Madison didn't directly lash out.
This was where Zoe's role became apparent.
"Um, we're a team now, so maybe we should all get to know each other a little, don't you think?"
Madison was silent for a moment, then nodded.
"Zoe's right! My talent is telekinesis. The most I can control is ten tons. What about you guys?"
"My talent is Black Widow. Any guy who gets close to me will be cursed."
Madison looked at Zoe in surprise.
"So, you can't have a boyfriend? That totally sucks!"
Zoe smiled awkwardly and then looked at Maria.
"Maria, what about you?"
"My talent allows me to separate a portion of my soul to interact with the physical world."
Maria's explanation was a bit vague, but some witches' talents are indeed hard to explain, so Zoe and Madison didn't pay too much attention.
Now, the initial awkwardness between the three of them had been somewhat eased.
Although Madison and Maria seemed to have some underlying tension, with Zoe as the go-between, at least there shouldn't be any conflicts.
The three walked down the road, and the surroundings were deserted, without a soul in sight.
The nights in Boston in April still had a bit of a chill, but the three girls were dressed very lightly for the party.
Zoe felt a bit uncomfortable with the cold, so she asked Madison.
"Madison, are we really going to walk all the way there?"
"Don't worry, I've got it covered!"
Not long after, a Ferrari 360 Modena drove up and stopped beside the three of them.
"Why are you so late?"
"I'm sorry, miss, I ran into a traffic stop on the way and was delayed for a while."
The middle-aged driver bowed slightly to Madison, his attitude very respectful.
Zoe and Maria looked at Madison.
Between the two of them, Zoe came from an ordinary middle-class family and had never seen anything like this before, a hint of envy showing in her eyes.
As for Maria, her father had been a company executive, and she had previously attended private schools, so she had seen many similar things and didn't have much of a reaction.
This was exactly the feeling Madison wanted. Otherwise, why would she have brought Zoe and Maria to the party with her?
"You can go now, I'll drive myself! Get in, get in, a wonderful night life is about to begin!"
The sports car eventually stopped in front of a large nightclub located in the suburbs. You could tell just from the facade that this nightclub was very upscale.
You could hear the thumping music from inside the nightclub even from a distance.
Zoe noticed a long line of people waiting outside the nightclub entrance, and it seemed like they were checking IDs. She couldn't help but tug on Madison's arm.
"Madison, do we have to wait in line to get in too?"
"No, I know the owner of this nightclub. We can go straight in."
Enjoying Zoe's surprised look, Madison directly led the two of them to the VIP entrance, flashed a black VIP card, and the security guard let the three of them in without any further formalities.
The people waiting in line looked at Madison and her friends with envy, which made Zoe feel the allure of money for the first time.
"See? I told you it would be quick!"
Madison looked smugly at Zoe and Maria, but at this moment, the two girls' attention had already been drawn by the dazzling scene inside the nightclub.
Directly in front of them was a huge dance floor, where countless young men and women were swaying in the center, and the air was thick with hormones and a sense of abandon.
Before coming to the witch school, Zoe and Maria could both be considered good girls, and this was their first time entering a nightclub like this.
Now, some kind of impulse was welling up in the hearts of both girls, and it felt like it was about to get out of control.
Madison patted Zoe and Maria on the shoulders.
"Don't just stand there like a couple of dummies! Smile, be confident! The three of us are all gorgeous, what's there to be afraid of? Now let's show those bitches what we're made of!"
As she spoke, Madison swayed her hips and started walking forward, her posture as if she were walking a red carpet.
Although she was only five-foot-two, her presence felt like she was five-foot-eleven.
Yes, although Madison really liked to act like the big sister, she was actually the shortest of the three.
In comparison, Zoe was five-foot-four, and Maria was five-foot-three.
However, height doesn't define a person's presence, just like Scarlett Johansson isn't very tall, but her aura is still very strong.
Under Madison's lead, Zoe and Maria quickly regained their confidence. The three beautiful girls swept through the nightclub like a whirlwind, attracting the attention of many people.
"Madison, what do we do now?"
Zoe had never been to a nightclub before, so she didn't really know the routine.
"Let's go to the bar first and get some drinks, then we'll just wait for those dumb guys to come try and pick us up!"
Madison had a strange flush on her face. She just loved the feeling of being the center of attention.
Zoe looked at Madison with some surprise.
"What, wait for guys to pick us up?"
Madison looked at Zoe with astonishment, feeling like this new friend was a bit too naive.
"Didn't you come to a nightclub to experience the feeling of those foolish men eagerly trying to please you?"
Maria rarely agreed with Madison, but she did this time, sharing a similar mindset.
"Madison's right! Zoe, don't you want to see those guys fighting over you?"
Zoe closed her eyes and imagined the scene Maria described, and her face immediately began to flush slightly.
"Stop talking so much!"
Madison had already ordered three soft drinks and then handed them to Zoe and Maria.
"Let's have a drink to each other first!"
After taking a sip of the soft drink, the cheeks of the three girls quickly became even more flushed and alluring, like ripe red apples that made people want to pluck them.
As a result, a young man immediately came over to strike up a conversation.
"Hey there, beautiful ladies! I'm a student at nearby Boston University. Are you guys too?"
The young man wiggled his eyebrows at Madison and her friends, and he was quite handsome.
Boston University was a nearby private university, and the families of students who could get into this university were generally quite well-off, or they were academic geniuses.
This identity was quite attractive to most girls, and you could see that Maria and Zoe showed expressions of interest.
However, Madison had seen plenty of handsome guys in Hollywood and wasn't interested in this young man at all.
"Are you guys interested? If so, go ahead and chat with him."
Zoe was still hesitating, but Maria licked her lips and took the initiative.
"Hey, handsome, could we find a more private place to chat alone?"
The young man showed a happy expression. He felt like today was his lucky day, having hooked up with a beautiful woman so easily.
"Of course, no problem! I come to this nightclub often, and I know a place that's very quiet!"
As he spoke, the two of them left with their arms around each other's shoulders.
Zoe watched Maria's back and opened her mouth slightly.
"Just like that?"
Madison looked at Zoe and chuckled.
"Ha! Of course, it's that simple. Isn't this what boys and girls come to nightclubs for? As long as you catch each other's eye, you naturally have to act fast. The next day, everyone is strangers. What did you think?"
Zoe found it a bit hard to accept. She was a romantic and wanted a long-lasting and stable relationship, not this kind of one-night stand.
Madison patted Zoe on the shoulder.
"Don't think too much about it. Your talent doesn't seem to allow you to have a boyfriend anyway, so why not just forget all this and enjoy tonight."
Zoe thought about it and felt that it was indeed the case. Her ability was really too much for any boyfriend to handle. If she invested too much emotion, she would be the one who would get hurt in the end.
"Madison, you're right!"
The two of them clinked their glasses again. At this moment, another person came to the bar.
"Give me a bourbon whiskey!"
Madison glanced at the boy next to her, and suddenly her eyes began to sparkle.
How should she put it? Madison had been in Hollywood for so many years and had seen all kinds of handsome guys, but this man in front of her made her instantly lose all resistance.
In just one second, Madison had even thought of baby names. This was simply a miracle for a party girl.
Noticing Madison's unusual gaze, Zoe also looked at the boy and was instantly stunned.
That boy seemed to glow in the dimly lit nightclub!
Madison quickly came back to her senses and then launched an offensive towards the boy, completely forgetting that she had just said she would wait for those men to eagerly try to please her.
"Hey there, what's your name?"
The boy glanced at Madison, feeling like she looked a bit familiar.
"Roy Black! Wait, I think I know you. Are you Madison?"
That's right, this handsome boy was Roy.
Actually, Roy had already found the Robichaux's Academy for Exceptional Young Ladies yesterday, but he noticed that the school was set up with perception barriers and various magical traps.
Out of cautious consideration, Roy didn't directly enter the witch school but had been observing outside.
When Madison and the others snuck out of the witch school tonight, Roy felt that this was an opportunity and followed them.
However, Roy wasted some time waiting in line at the nightclub entrance, so he didn't catch up with Maria.
As for how Roy knew Madison's name, it was because he happened to see a rerun of a TV show in New York, and there was an actress in the show who looked almost exactly like Madison.
A smile appeared on Madison's face.
"Yes, I am indeed Madison."
"Was it from that show 'Scream Queens'? I was very impressed with you, you're so much prettier in person than on TV!"
Compliments also depended on who said them. If an ordinary person said this, Madison might just smile slightly, but when Roy said it, her eyes crinkled into crescent moons with her smile.
"Thank you for the compliment!"
"Could I get your autograph? I really love your acting!"
"Of course, no problem!"
Roy's few words quickly flattered Madison to the point of being ecstatic, making Zoe next to her feel envious. She also hoped to chat and laugh with Roy.
Luckily, Roy didn't forget Zoe.
"And this lady is...?"
Madison frowned slightly. She actually didn't want Roy to pay attention to Zoe, but since Roy had already asked, she had no choice but to answer.
"Her name is Zoe, she's my classmate."
At this moment, other men came over to hit on Madison and Zoe again, but the two of them were now looking at Roy and were no longer interested in these ordinary guys.
Being interrupted repeatedly, Madison felt a bit annoyed.
"Roy, why don't we find a booth and chat for a while?"
"Sure, let's go together!"
Roy looked at Zoe, implying that he wanted to bring Zoe along, which made Zoe very happy.
However, Madison was a bit unwilling, but she didn't want to show it too obviously and could only reluctantly put on a generous act.
The second floor of the nightclub was all booths, and they were mostly semi-open booths. From inside the booths, you could directly see the dance floor below through the windows.
However, it was difficult to see inside the booths from the outside, ensuring the privacy of the booths and also catering to some special preferences.
Madison ordered a large amount of alcohol, clearly intending to get Roy drunk.
If she didn't sleep with such a rare and handsome guy, Madison felt that she would definitely regret it for the rest of her life.
In comparison, Zoe was more innocent. Knowing her Black Widow condition, she just wanted to have a pure platonic relationship with Roy.
However, Madison didn't discriminate when it came to pouring drinks, so soon both girls in the booth were drunk.
