Sometime after enrolling at the school, she fell in with Nancy Downs and Bonnie, who also have troubled lives and formed a coven and dabbled in Occult practices. The three wanted badly for power to get back at those who hurt them, but were unsuccessfull until the arrival of Sarah Bailey who Bonnie believed was the fourth witch to complete their coven and make them all-powerfull. As Sarah reluctantly eases her way into the circle, Rochelle uses her new-found abilities to cast a veangefull spell on Laura, causing her hair to fall out. The spell invoked The Rule of Three, which made Rochelle feel extreme remoarse over casting the spell on Laura. Day-by-day, Rochelle watched Laura hysterically freak-out and pull bits of her hair out. Eventually, Laura needed to wear a wig. In the end, Sarah stipped Rochelle's powers because of her misuse of them.
