Chapter Thirteen

Mr. Chan blabbed on and on about the expectations for our first Biology quarterly exam. Honestly, if anyone just read the syllabus and even skimmed the list of lectures we’d had so far, it wouldn’t be a mystery. I might have been too confident as I tuned out his droning voice, but heck, it couldn’t be an impossible feat. Besides, the man had a thing for multiple-choice questions. With none of that all of the above or none of the above options. Surely, I couldn’t be the only freshman in the room who was aware of this little concept known as deductive reasoning.

Instead of paying attention, I applied that process to the boy four seats to my left and one row ahead. Flynn sat there, and from the slouched position he scrunched his tall frame into the chair and desk space, he wasn’t attentive to our teacher either.

Did he see the flying horse?

If he hadn’t, he wouldn’t have known that fresh pile of manure had been deposited over our heads.

If he had seen it…

He can see them? I sat up straighter at this thought. A notion that excited and scared me. Could it be possible I wasn’t alone—that another person saw what I did?

For the eleven and a half weeks since breaking the curfew and spotting the meadow of landlocked and airborne horses, I’d avoided him. Yes, I counted how long. Mentally, I obsessed about him and his reactions to that night. Physically, I deterred any chance of having to speak to him or run into him. Hundo p ghosting. Well, as much as I could. We had classes together, but I went out of my way to stay out of his. It was a funky see-saw of thinking about him nonstop and eliminating all contact.

During my Flynn-cott, because boycotting the guy was exactly my goal, I asked Paige about him. She clearly had insider connection via her mom, so what was the harm? I’d be helping her…unload all that information bogging down her brain. Of course, the first question out of my mouth about him sent some mixed signal to her that I was interested in him.

Interested in Flynn? Heck yeah, I was. He might be a hallucinogenic freak of nature like me. Despite my denials of attraction, Paige was determined to forever assume he was my crush. Don’t ask me what she calculated from these so-called ways Flynn “looked at me.” She wanted to play a mental game of matchmaker, whatever. And if that was how it had to be, okay. She didn’t hold back with the gossip after I let her think whatever she wanted about my love—ha, ha, ha—life.

Flynn was chosen to attend Olde Earth from the enrollment committee’s curiosity about a video posted about him. I’d been right all along. He had been singled out for a random viral Happy Vibes video. Instead of assisting animal control officers calm down furious and abused dogs like I had, Flynn saved a little boy from a three-hundred-pound gorilla at the zoo.
