It’s All In The Stars
After cleaning up her room for a slumber party, Sab checks her horoscope for the day. It says. Pisces: Be ready for love and new contacts. It is wise to get in touch with your spiritual side. Romance is coming. Keep following the stars. So far the prediction seems accurate. She’s checked out a book Made Pandora’s Guide to spirituality and plans to have a séance at the sleepover. Sabrina puts a purple tablecloth over the card table, she puts Luke’s fishbowl on the table, then she goes to look for some candles (the room isn’t dark enough). Only her mom reminds her of the fire that happened when they tried to put candles in a pumpkin. Sab then goes to work on her costume. She puts on a long, red, flannel, plaid, nightgown, a white blanket (as a shawl), big hoops, and a pair of tangled necklaces. (OH KAAY). Then she uses her bath cap to hold her hair in and wraps a turban around her head. For candles, she takes some coffee cans, screws holes in them, and puts flashlights underneath.
When they get there, Sabrina tries to think of a way to convince them to do the séance. She knows Randy will jank it. So, she gets an idea and suggests they play Levitation (aka “Light As A Feather Stiff As a Board, and if you don’t know what this is watch “The Craft” or the tv show “Light As A Father Stiff As a Board”). Interestingly it almost worked on Katie. (RIIIIGHT! Next, you’ll tell me they’re all secretly witches). But they turn it down and sabs suggest they go down to the basement and then she tells them why. They all agree and Sabs is surprised. Randy though makes fun of it. Allison says they can contact John Lennon and this gets Randy. (Isn’t Sabs forgetting something like uh an Ouija board?). So, they start chanting and calling John Lenon’s name. Sabs puts her hand over the ball. They’re all trying to be serious but they can’t stop laughing. She asks if he hears them to knock three times. Then they all hear three knocks. A deep voice announces it’s John Lennon and wants to know who stole his guitar. They dive under the table and turn it over. It turns out to be Sam. Sam’s mom sees comes down and sees the mess and demands to know what’s going on. They all discover the fish are missing, but eventually, they find them and save them all. Sab’s parents say they’ll talk about his in the morning. Sam is annoyed with Sam (who was hiding in the closet the whole time). Sabs is mad at first but when everyone else is laughing she sees the humor in it.
Sab is mad at Sam the next day and won’t speak to him. Her mother tells her he apologized so get over it. She and Sam have to replace Luke’s fish bowl. Sabrina gets another love prediction. It says “It’s a good day for phone calls letters and love. Someone tall, dark, and gorgeous adores you. Watch for secret declarations. Aquarius plays an important role.” After school, they’re going to go over to Allison’s but Sab’s has to go to the library to return her book. So, she says she’ll meet them there. In her locker is an anonymous love note on PINK STATIONARY WITH FLOWERS AND STICKERS (UHH. NO! Now I know there are some sensitive males out there. They might even be straight and like the color pink. But own PINK STATIONARY with HEARTS, FLOWERS, AND STICKERS.. THAT’S a lil much for me to believe. I don’t even think a straight male would BUY pink stationery. I am PRAYING that this guy has a little sister, niece, or cousin.) Sabrina tho thinks it’s the cutest thing. I’d be looking at it with my eyes raised.
Sab shares the letter with all her friends. Randy, of course, scoffs at Sabrina bringing up her horoscope, but Sabrina shows her what it says in the paper. Randy says it’s just a coincidence Katie’s convinced tho. They all then talk about who it could be. They all think it’s Sam’s friend Jason Mckee. Sab thinks Jason is cute but not gorgeous. She checks off the guys one by one at the school but can’t see it as any of them. On Monday, Sabrina puts special effort into her hair and clothes to make a good impression on her secret admirer. This morning her horoscope says “Confusion surrounds your social life. Guard your secrets carefully. You have your own private dreams to dream. A Family member tries to make peace. There’s a guy in band (Brian Stevens) that was a candidate when they were guessing. But in the band room, Sab finds out he doesn’t even know her name. Then she thinks it’s her teacher (Damion Gray) UGG! So, Sab says she has to find out what his sign in, Besides he left her a comment on her last assignment and a teacher could get her combination. Sabrina wears this blue blazer but Sabrina only ends up looking like the class nerd (Winslow). Sabrina and Winslow are the only ones prepared so the class has to do extra work. The teacher weirdly gives Sabs a wink. Randy and Katie pass her a note that she and Winslow look cute together but wouldn’t it make Jason jealous? She can’t believe they think she’d like Winslow. The teacher tells her he’s proud of her and asks her to stay after. Sab starts to hyperventilate. He says he just wants to talk to her about a project. But she’s acting so weird and puffing out her cheeks that he says he’ll talk to her tomorrow. Sab loses the blazer but is over the moon that she thinks Mr. Gray is the admirer. (Nah it’s probably Winslow).
Stacey and Eva of course tease her about wearing the same blazer as Winslow (after school at the hang out)) but Sab tells her she does not like Winslow. But because Sab blushes she takes this as confirmation and then she starts telling everyone. Sab knows tomorrow it will be all over school. That night, Sab comes up with some conversational topics so she won’t freeze up next time. Sab's horoscope the next morning says that “Her charisma impresses someone and that the bloom of love will present itself in a small gift.” That day after school Sab notices other students that have been asked to stay other. He says he wants to pick ten of the best students to give a presentation for the board of education. Her partner is… of course Winslow. Katie is also picked. Sabrina stays after and tries to flirt with Mr. Gray but he just thinks she has a cold. She tries to conversate with him but she isn’t really all that good at conversing with him. Sabrina does NOT take the hint and thinks because he tells her she’d better get to her next class because he wouldn’t want anything to happen to her, instead takes this as a sign that he just didn’t tell her his feelings because he’s just shy.
After school, Randy says Winslow wants her to come over and work on the special history project but he invited Randy. Sabrina goes to her locker and instead are roses and another letter that says she deserves diamonds but the roses will have to do. At Winslow's, he shows Randy a music program. Then he and Sabrina come up with the idea to do a skit where the Greeks and Romans meet each other through time travel. They go back and forth on wearing togas (Winslows idea) and agree that Sabrina will if she can wear a unitard underneath. Sabrina later tells her friends about the flowers.
On Saturday before she goes to Winslow’s she checks her horoscope and it’s not good. It says “Disturbing news prevents you from being your happy-go-lucky self. Don’t feel sorry for yourself. Use your imagination.” Everything is going great at first at Winslow's. His mom has made them toga’s and they both like each other’s scripts and work for two hours getting them typed up. When they stop for a break, Sabrina bumps their books on accidents and sees pink paper, then all the love notes, and all the paper’s horoscope predictions. She confronts Winslow and he confesses it was all a practical joke thought up by Sam. He apologizes and says he wasn’t trying to upset her. Sabrina thinks about her horoscope from earlier and decides it’s time she get even with Sam for (skeeting her with the water house at the beginning of the book, running her sleepover, and this prank).
So, Sabrina and her G.T. friends get Winslow to write Sam a note from Stacey asking that he meet her for dinner (Sam has a big crush on Stacey). The next morning, Sabrina sneaks the envelope into her brother's book. When it's time to do the skit, Sabrina gets stage fright and forgets the first line. Stacey starts laughing and this motivates Sabrina and she remembers her lines, Their skit gets the most applause. Sabrina is still thinking about Mr. Gray. On Saturday, they all decide to follow Sam to Stacey’s house to see how their prank went. Stacey of course has no idea what Sam’s talking about and she already has company. She has about 10 girls over and they all come out and start laughing. She tells him she’s having a slumber party and he wasn’t invited. Then they slam the door in his face. Sam just stands there dumbfounded. Then he tears up the invitation and leaves. They all run home and beat him there. It’s not long before Sam comes home, sees the GT girls who can’t control their laughter, and then he gets it. He and Sab decide to call it even. Sab checks her horoscope and it says “A New Friendship blossoms into love” (Winslow).
My Thoughts:
This actually made me CRINGE with the number of times Sabrina thinks it’s her TEACHER! It doesn’t bother me so much when it’s high school students crushing on teachers, but Sabrina is TWELVE and he’s got to be in his TWENTIES (maybe older). Why would a grown man want a 12-year-old? Then she actually tries to flirt with him. The séance was just weird! Not because it was a séance. I’m good with her wanting to have that. It’s just that it was half ***. She didn’t take time to get a real costume. She didn’t take time to get candles. She didn’t even take time to get a OUIJA BOARD! No wonder her attempt didn’t work. I can’t say it would or wouldn’t because I never had a Ouiji board so I won’t talk down on it, but like Winslow said if you're going to do something you should AT LEAST do it the RIGHT WAY! I was gonna say there wasn’t much of a mystery because who else could it be BUT Winslow that sent the note (and I’m sorry I would be VERY wary of a man that sent me a note on pink stationery with heart stickers). I don’t think Winslow likes a girl at all. I think he might be more into Sam. But then the twist of it being Sam was different so it wasn’t *that* obvious.
