I didn’t make it to public service after school and thus my demerit total remained at six. If tomorrow was as bad as today I’d wind up with my second game suspension.

Danders Anders needed to park all over the city. Fourteen parking spots and with each one I felt my fairy getting fatter. The proto- fairy was never going to take over.

If I could have killed Danders I would have. Or broken a few of his bones. Or at least given him some nasty bruises.

He returned to his car for the last time after eleven. I’d almost fallen asleep over my Statistics homework. How was I going to stay awake to concentrate on The Ultimate Fairy Book? Poxy Danders Anders.

“You have to drive me someplace,” I announced as Danders crammed himself back into the driver’s seat. “You owe me.” He owed me my life back. He owed me everything. I wished him a blighted life and future.

He grunted and turned the engine on. If he were an actual human being with feelings and facial expressions I would have said that he was sad. But he was Danders Anders, so for all I knew he was in ecstasy brought on by a twenty- minute rendezvous with his secret lover. Though given how many stops we’d made, that would be fourteen secret lovers.

Horns sounded.

“You’re supposed to look when you drive! Not get us killed!”

Danders said nothing.

“Don’t turn right, turn left. You’re taking me to Fiorenze Burnham-Stone’s house. Cliffside Drive.”

“Cliffside Drive,” Danders repeated.
