To Jax, calculus was as boring and never-ending as English, made worse by the blonde who didn’t take a hint. He kept forgetting her name, even though he was trying like hell to follow the rules of the making-friends book. Her constant giggling and silly chatter made him nuts. He tried ignoring her, but that only seemed to egg her on. He told her he had a girlfriend already, but she only laughed and said, “Her loss.”

Brody was enjoying himself hugely, even though Jax kept reminding him this was all temporary, that he needed to find a girl on the mountain.

“I will,” he said, “but for now, this is pretty awesome. Jenny is a nice girl, and she has the entire first season of Star Trek, with outtakes. Her granddad used to be a producer, so she has all kinds of cool stuff.”

“You can’t go to her house, Brody. Don’t say you will.”

“I won’t.”

Always, he was hyperaware of Sasha, never lost her scent, his sixth sense kicking in so he knew where she was at all times, even when he couldn’t see her. When he could see her, he knew she was miserable. The other kids were avoiding her, and he didn’t know why.

He wanted to talk to her, to say he was there for her, that he’d be her friend—he and Brody—and she wouldn’t be all alone. But she didn’t want that; she’d made it really clear. So he stayed away and felt her misery, his heart breaking a little more every time he looked at her.

The tall guy, Thomas, was the only thing even mildly interesting to Jax about Telluride High. He was good like the Luminas were good, a guy with deep compassion and a certain intuition about people that made him extremely well liked. He’d evidently been running around with Brett and East and Mason since junior high, but after Brett and East took the oath, everything had changed.

“Now they’re all about this new club, the Ravens,” Thomas told him while they waited for third period to begin. “If you’re not interested, it’s like you’re dead to them. Which is fine by me, because I don’t like hanging with them anymore. I mean, I’m up for a good joke on somebody, but the stuff they pull isn’t so much a joke as it’s sadistic. Brett’s even doing it to his cousin. Who does that? Maybe I don’t hang out with my cousins, but they’re family. You don’t hose your own family.”

Belying his sudden fury, Jax kept his face impassive, leaning across his desk with one forearm resting on his Spanish book, forcing himself not to look across the room at Sasha. “Yeah, my brothers and I get into it all the time, but that’s us. When it comes to outsiders, I’d kick anybody’s ass who messed with any of them. So what’s Shriver doing to his cousin?”

Thomas shot a glance at Brody, who was deep in conversation with Jenny, before he said, “He’s telling everybody that
