Chapter 23

“I’m glad you talked me into coming.” I took another bite of the funnel cake and moaned as the powdered sugar melted on my tongue. The county fair was way more fun than I’d expected—the games, the rides, and especially the food. Garrett had pulled out at the last minute, but Orla had still convinced me to join her and the other Hale House girls. “Are you sure you don’t want a bite?”

“Nope. That’s way too much sugar for me.” Orla looked around and sat up straighter as a group of guys walked by our table. Smiling, she waved to one of them before blowing a kiss to a guy with blond hair who’d winked at her.

“Do you know him?” Rosella finished eating her candy apple and set the core on a napkin.

“He asked for my phone number when he sat beside me on the Ferris wheel.” Giggling, Orla tossed her curly red hair over her shoulder.

“Why would you want to mess around with a townie?” Cindy propped her chin on her hand, a dreamy look in her eyes. “Have you guys seen Julius tonight? He’s wearing the tightest jeans that make his—”

“He’s much too old for you.” Rosella nudged her in the side. “And I think he heard you. He’s coming this way.”

Sitting up straighter, Cindy clasped her hands on the table in front of her and smiled.

“Ladies, I hope you’re having fun.” Julius stopped beside our table and glanced at his watch. “The buses leave in an hour. Don’t be late, and make sure you stay together.”

We nodded, and Julius headed over to a tableful of warlocks. The High Council had selected thirty of us from the coven to visit the county fair tonight. Another thirty would come during the day tomorrow and another thirty at night.

“He didn’t even look at me,” Cindy mumbled, sulkily staring after Julius.

“How about we go on the Ferris wheel again?” I asked, wanting to steer the conversation away from Julius. I hadn’t realized how much Cindy liked him.

“No way.” Rosella shook her head. “Remember how queasy it made me?”

“How about the hay bale maze? That looks like fun.” Orla tossed our empty paper plates and napkins into a nearby trash can.

“I don’t know. Those things can be hard to get out of,” I replied. “How about we play more games?”

“I agree with Orla,” Rosella said. “Let’s do the maze. It’s not far from the parking lot, and there’s four of us. How hard can it be? And there’s a two hundred dollar prize if we beat last year’s time. We could put the money toward the house’s new-television fund.”

Cindy’s eyes filled with excitement. “Let’s hurry up.”

I stood and brushed the crumbs from my shirt before following them to the other side of the fair. As we approached the maze, screams from a nearby kiddie roller coaster and the loud bells ringing from a horse racing game with water pistols assaulted my ears. The tantalizing smell of buttered popcorn and fresh caramel apples hung in the warm evening air.
