Chapter 15

★

Three giants join my language arts class. Partway through, glass shatters. Two of them clobber the other.

I gasp and shift away as they fight.

Dewey whispers, “The Constabulary will be on them in five, four, three—”

Sure enough, the intimidating figures in their leather coats swoop in—literally. They don’t ride brooms so much as glide through the air.

No one can tear their eyes from the spectacle. The professor requests, and then demands, our attention. “Now that our little diversion is over, let’s have a student volunteer come up and demonstrate some of our recent lessons.”

No one makes a peep. No one offers to go up. So of course, she calls on me.

I remain in my seat. “Professor, my wand, uh,—” I’ve been hesitant to tell her it’s broken, mostly because I’m afraid she’ll think I misused it or wasn’t careful.

“Miss Wessels,” she says. “If you please, you’re going to lift this piece of paper from my desk and deliver it to someone in the back row.”

I extend my arm and speak the incantation. Nothing happens.

The professor’s laugh is dry. “Try again.”

Nope.

“With intention, presence,” she says.

I obey. The paper bursts into flames. “I didn’t mean it. I promise.”

With a stern lift of her eyebrow, she sends me back to my seat. I consider going to Ms. Storch and telling her about the djinn, how the OMMs made a mistake. I don’t think I have these so-called magical talents. I have yet to do anything other than set stuff on fire. But then her comment about how she’s watching me and my last visit keeps me in my seat.

Later, the dining hall is chaos. A bunch of cyclops occupies the usual spot where I sit with Yassi, Dewey, Wyatt, Audra, and the others.

Bobby waves me over to join his table with his big group of friends. My cheeks warm and go rosy. I blink a few times, feeling like a marshmallow on fire.

Just then, I spot a dark-clad figure across the room also staring at me.

However, my cheeks don’t flare. I go icy inside.

My brain doesn’t turn soft. I think of all the reasons I do not like JJ Thorne.

A glare, as sharp as a knife cuts across my features. Then I notice he’s not sitting with anyone.

“Maija?” Bobby says, appearing in front of me. “Come on. You belong over here.” He doesn’t have to drag me to his table, but I glance back at JJ—a black and white snapshot of loneliness...at least I would be if I always had to sit alone.

“She reminds me so much of Imogen,” Bobby says, pointing at me and addressing his friends who all have the same golden glow he does. I assume they’re all mages—alchemists whose specialty is tempering gold and other fine metals.

Another says, “It’s not so much her face more in her expression.”

Bobby smirks. “The set of her lips. Determination. Strength. Confidence.”

Bobby beams at me as though that settles something. “The greatest witch in history and the subject of the last great prophecy.”

Yassi tugs me away and whispers, “I know he’s hot, but it’s best not to bother yourself with them.
