Defense Arts

I’m in the class I’d been dreading all summer, Defense Arts. Not because I don’t want to improve. Of course, I do, but I’m still not ready to reveal my improved abilities to Bishop. He’ll not only be hurt but he’ll easily figure out my plan—to go back and save my mom. That’s something I must do alone.

After changing into workout uniforms, a small group of students meets in the Defense Arts gymnasium. The person I really wish wasn’t here stands nearby, peering at her reflection in the mirrored wall, primping.

I look away from Perpetua, only to see another person I dislike.

“Hello, Sera.” Stu strolls over with his lanky, awkward walk. “You’re looking as lovely as ever, if you don’t mind me saying so.” He grabs his pockets, adjusting his pants. I instantly feel dirty, standing near him. His personality oozes an off-putting, slimy confidence.

“Actually, I mind,” says Bishop. He stands over us and crosses his arms, giving Stu a stern look.

“Whoa.” Stu holds up his palms in defense. “Hey, man. Just came over to say hi.” He retreats with false remorse, then quickly regains his overconfident swagger.

“Thanks for saving me.” I turn to Bishop.

“That’s what I’m here for,” he says and smiles.

“It just makes me angry to know that they’re back,” I complain. Bishop rubs the length of my arms. “Why would they do something like that? Does Terease really think they’re not a threat anymore?”

“No, I doubt it. But in this case, the Society made a trade for something they need, info on Cece’s whereabouts.”

“Have they even looked for her yet?” I’ve held out hope that I’ll hear about a raid on the Underground before it takes place. In my mind, I imagine sneaking out to join the raiding group—that, or eventually using the rosary to find my mom. Whichever comes first, it doesn’t matter. The result will be the same.
