Tristan

My new plan was backfiring, and I had Dylan to thank for it.

I’d thought that playing things extra cool around Savannah for a month would make her realize I wasn’t going to stalk her, so she could relax around me. And she’d almost seemed to at the beginning of this week. But then that idiot Dylan just had to mess with her and call her an ice princess. Ever since, she’d seemed to take the jerk’s teasing to heart. Her face was like a mask, her body moving so little during class that I sometimes wondered if she were miming a statue. She blinked, breathed, took notes and read. But there was zero visibility into her real personality.

If possible, she’d become even more untouchable.

Having four fellow descendants in class with us didn’t help, either. With Dylan one row to my left and back, the Brat Twins directly behind me, and Mr. Smythe running the class, my every move was under watch in history. I might as well have not even had a class with Savannah this year, for all the opportunity I’d had to talk with her. I couldn’t even look at her for two seconds without the Clann knowing.

By Friday, all the hope I’d started the week with was morphing straight into frustration. I’d have to come up with a new plan.

Mr. Smythe was late getting to history class today for some reason. The bell had rung, but with no teacher in sight, everyone was talking. A few people stood around, adding to the low-key party atmosphere. Dylan was one of the few walking around. His movements were casual as he flirted with some of the girls two rows over. But something about the look in his eyes set me on edge.

“Hey, Tristan.” Vanessa laid a hand on my shoulder.

I turned in my desk to look at her. “Yeah?”

“I was wondering, do you have a date for the Fall Ball yet?”

As if I’d ever be stupid enough to date her again. “Not interested, Vanessa.”

Something slammed to the floor hard enough to shake the entire building. All conversation stopped.

I jerked my head to the right in time to catch Dylan’s smirk.

“Oops.” He laughed and strolled away from Savannah’s books and papers, which now covered a three-foot span of floor in front of her feet.

What the…

“Did you want to help me pick up all the stuff you just knocked off my desk?” Savannah muttered. In the dead silence of the room, her every word was as loud as if she’d shouted.

There you go, Sav, don’t take any of his crap.

I gripped the edge of my desk, too aware of the giggles the Brat Twins didn’t bother to hide. Evil witches; they must have been in on Dylan’s plans and distracted me on purpose. They knew I’d never let Dylan bully anyone. Though I’d thought he’d outgrown this crap back in junior high. Unless he’d just been hiding it from me for the past few years.

He stood by his chair with an arrogant grin.
