Chapter Thirteen

Things I know about Reece Malcolm:

28. She has a superpower when it comes to pie.

The next morning I run straight to the Music Hall. I mean, callbacks were one thing. A cast list is another entirely.

I don’t even worry about being polite as I navigate my way through the mob crowding around it, though I do notice people are kind of stepping away to let me through. I don’t spend time debating if it’s a good sign or not, just look at the cast list, run my finger down until I find my name, and even though I’m only the third person listed—ohmygodi’monlythethirdpersonlisted—still run my finger over to confirm I’ve gotten the role I wanted.

And there it is in black and white: Mary Flynn: Devan Malcolm.

Considering how tight the crowd is getting, I excuse myself, running into Sai as I attempt to cross the hallway to Women’s Choir. Like, literally. My face smacks into his chest.

Oh my God. It’s really firm.

“Man, watch out.” Sai laughs and grabs my shoulders to keep me from bouncing off of him and into someone else. I notice there’s a huge splotch of my lip gloss on his T-shirt where I face-planted into him. “Congrats, by the way. You’re gonna be awesome.”

“Thanks.” I grin at him. “Oh my God, I didn’t even look at anyone else. You got something, though, right?”

“I got something,” he tells me. “See you in Nation.”

“See you,” I say, waving before—“Sai!”

He’s already too far down the hallway, past the gathering crowd, to hear my warnings that my MAC Dazzleglass (in the embarrassingly named shade of Love Alert) is currently giving the illusion that some girl (who is definitively not the girlfriend he’s about to have class with) had her mouth on him this morning. For a split second I cross my fingers for some Love Alert–motivated suspicion and jealousy. Wait, no, I don’t. That would make me a terrible person.

“Devan!” Lissa runs up behind me as I walk into Women’s Choir. “Congratulations. Are you completely psyched?”

“Totally,” I say, which makes her laugh.

“Sometime I want to see you go really crazy. You just got a huge role.”

“This is me really crazy.”

We laugh even though obviously it’s kind of true.

“How were the burgers of magic?” she asks.

“Oh my God, pretty amazing. No actual magic but close.”

Mira walks into the room and makes a beeline for us. “Liss, I’m sorry.”

“It’s fine,” Lissa says, and I realize her name must have not been on the list. I was so used to checking only for me—or me and Justine—but now there are other people I should have looked for, too.

“They’re stupid to leave you out,” Mira tells her, before glancing at me. “I can’t believe the lead female role calls for someone who can be sarcastic and bitter, and yet of course it’s the year you show up and basically already land the part your first day.”

“I, um, I didn’t mean to.”

“Devan.” She knocks her shoulder into mine. “Don’t be stupid, of course you did.
