Chapter Eighteen

A wave of comfort caresses me the moment we cross over onto the school grounds.

Granted I haven’t attended here long, it’s become a home to me, and I long to be here when I’m away. It’s where some of the scariest and best moments of my life have happened. It’s where I found out I was a witch, where I met Silas, Deghan, Cameron, and Sydney. Where I met the girls. Where I’ve cried and grown and evolved into an entirely new person, constantly shedding my skin to make way for a newer and better version of myself.

I came to Harper Academy expecting to have a normal college experience, but what I’ve been handed is so much more, and honestly, I wouldn’t trade it for the world. Well, sans the curses and all.

But all things considered, how terrible the curses have been, each one of them has taught me something new. I’ve matured from them, I’ve overcome barriers I didn’t know existed, let alone thought I was capable of.

The darkness has allowed me to appreciate the light.

And without those gloomy trials, I wouldn’t fully understand how lucky I am to experience the good parts of my life.

Things are tough, and although sometimes I’m not sure how I’ll make it through another day, I continue to persevere and prove to myself that I’m worthy of the Oliver name.

“You zoning out over there?” Lillian pokes my arm.

“Yeah, sorry.” I blink a few times, the school parking lot coming into my vision.

“Do you want to talk about it?” She rests her fingers on the door handle.

“About what?”

“Whatever is bothering you. You don’t have to shut me out.” Lillian’s gaze seems to plead with me.

“I don’t want to, either. There are some things I can’t exactly say. It’s a lot all at once.” I reach out and put my injured hand on top of hers. “I’m not going to disappear, though. Okay?”

“I’m here if you ever want to get it off your chest. If you’re ever allowed to.” She exhales. “I don’t understand why you can’t tell me. But I want you to recognize that I’m here. You don’t have to go through whatever you’re going through alone.”

Her words bring me immense joy. Not too long ago, I was worried I had lost her forever. But here we are, sitting in the back of Sydney’s car, having just gone dress shopping together, and her being a kind and caring friend.

“Thanks, Lills. You really are the best.”

“I know.” She beams and shifts to serious. “But I refuse to wear this thing without you there, so you better figure out what the hell you’re wearing.” She hauls the clothing bag out of the back of the car.

Out of nowhere, arms consume me.

“I missed you, you were gone forever.” Deghan picks me up and spins me around. “Why do all the girls have stuff, but you don’t?” He sets me down on the gravel lot.

“I couldn’t find anything.”

“Dude, what the hell. The formal is in a few days.
