“Will was born on Bonfire Night?” said Evan, sarcasm toying with his lips.

Nath laughed and said, “Guy Fawkes himself was a pyromancer, although he didn’t demonstrate that too well, did he?”

“I’d say not,” said Evan.

Sure enough, when Will strode in gleaming in platinum; arms bulging in his silk shirt, the girls’ heads snapped in his direction, pupils dilating like mating season.

He spared Evan an arrogant smile which sent waves of irritation scuttling over his skin.
