After school, Michelle races up and bumps me playfully with her hip. I cringe at the sudden movement.

“Hey, girl,” she says, sliding her bag strap over her shoulder. “You free this afternoon?”

“I’m heading to the archery center,” I say. I don’t tell her what I’m really doing. Heading off to practice #2 on my list of Ways to Kick Haemosu’s Butt: Shoot an arrow, aim for the heart. “I really need to practice.”

Because I must have perfect aim so I can watch his ugly grin falter when I slide my arrow through his heart.

“You’re always training.” She lifts her eyebrows. “It’s not like you’re prepping for a big tournament or anything. Come on. Have a little fun.”

“Right. Fun.” What a laugh that is. If only I could tell her the truth. That I’m just trying to survive. That I was torn to shreds only hours ago, and fun was tossed out of my vocabulary the day the creep showed up. Still, she’s right. If these are my last days, I sure as hell don’t want to be living them out as a sourpuss. “You want to come with me? We can hang out, and I can show you how awesome I am.”

Michelle laughs, and I almost smile. This is good. Exactly what I need.

“It’s a deal.” She hooks arms with me, and we head out into the freezing cold. “But you’ll owe me a movie date after this. Something fun and not involving weapons.”
