Chapter Nine

I should have been prepared for the whole school to know about our late night crypt hunt. Especially when I walked into the mess hall the next morning and Lani spotted me. Whatever conversation she’d been having died as she locked eyes on me.

“Look who was brave enough to show her face,” she called and tugged on one pantleg. “Nice bling. I hear your girlfriend has a matching one.”

“I heard she had to save her,” one of the other djinn girls said loudly.

“Oh, yeah. Poor little wisher couldn’t even recognize magic when it bit her on the nose,” Lani taunted. “Some bloodline you’ve got.”

“Just ignore her,” Lee said, stepping up beside me.

“Careful who you associate with,” Lani clucked.

“I pick my own friends,” he answered, wrapping an arm around my shoulder and guiding me to a table.

“You didn’t need to do that,” I said, casually shrugging his arm off.

“She was being a bitch,” he answered.

“Yeah, I’m well aware. But I’m not a damsel in need of rescuing.”

“I’m sorry, I really didn’t mean to imply that you were,” he said.

“How does everyone know? It was the middle of the night.”

“Just because people aren’t supposed to be out on the grounds that late doesn’t mean people aren’t. Trust me, there are way more things we can do with our powers than just grant fortunes.”

“So, you’re telling me I was just unlucky, because we got caught.”

“Exactly. But since those cuffs are supposed to stop you from getting near that place again, you don’t have to worry about her getting you in trouble again.”

“It wasn’t Siobhan’s fault. It was my idea to go there,” I said defensively. “I had a dream and someone was calling to me for help. I wasn’t going to ignore it. I convinced her to come along.”

“Oh.”

“I don’t get why everyone dislikes her. I think she’s cool,” I added.

“She’s just not what anyone expects when you think leprechaun,” he replied.

“Why? Because she’s strong and can handle her power?”

“Because from everything I’ve heard, they’re always guys,” Lee said bluntly.

The distinct lack of other girls that sported leprechaun abilities suddenly struck me. So, she was unusual and that drew attention. Speaking of, my roommate strode in and the room went quiet.

“Oh, admit it, you lot are all jealous I made it that far,” she said loudly and got in line for breakfast.

I waited for her to join us and Lee scooted over to give her room. She eyed him for a moment before sitting down. “So, I probably should have warned you everyone would know. Miss Popular has eyes and ears all over campus.”

“It’s fine,” I answered and looked to Lee. “We think someone living might be trapped in the crypt.”

“All the stories I’ve heard said someone died,” he countered.

“Doesn’t mean there isn’t someone still breathing down there, too,” Siobhan argued around a bite of sausage.

“We’re going to see what we can find out about who it might be and how to get past the leprechaun illusion,” I finished.

“Wait a minute. Let me understand this.
