Chapter 11

I covered my mouth as I yawned for what felt like the millionth time. It wasn’t that the class I was sitting in was boring. On the contrary, Charmology was one of the classes I had most been looking forward too. Sure, it was a beginner’s course, something I would have taken in grade school but being a late bloomer, I needed all the help I could get.

“Charms can be very precocious. One mispronunciation and your love charm will turn into a hex,” my professor, Calliope no-last-name’s whimsical voice explained as she sort of floated around the room. She was much younger than the other professors I’d seen, her fair skin almost shimmered in the light, and her hair trailed after her like a separate piece of herself. While Calliope’s voice was very nice to listen to, it did nothing for my tired eyes.

I’d already had two lattes from the cafeteria by the time I had finished breakfast. Trina had tried to make small talk with me, but I hadn’t been coherent enough really to answer more than a yes or no, maybe a few hmms. I’d spent all night tossing and turning over what had happened at The Burger Shack.

After my little exploding ketchup trick, Dale hadn’t said much, not about my accident or about Callie and the fact that she obviously knew what we were. The only thing he had left me with was a despairing sigh and a head shake before he left the diner, leaving Callie and me alone to clean up the mess.

I kept expecting Dale to show up wanting an explanation or the headmaster telling me I was expelled not just from school but from life. But neither of those things ever came. While it was driving me crazy to find out what Dale was going to do with the information, I was hard-pressed to not rock that boat. If he wasn’t saying anything, I wasn’t saying anything.

Thankfully, Callie was the queen of secrets. I didn’t have to worry about her cracking, even under pain of torture or death. I trusted her with my life, and I knew she would keep my secret. If only I could do a better job at it.

Something cold pressed against the side of my arm, and then a hot jolt of electricity went through my entire body. My eyes, which I hadn’t even known I’d closed, flew open, and any sleepiness I might have felt went flying from me as the class stared at me with open amusement.

After a moment, the hot shock of energy that had ripped through me dissipated. I gasped and blinked rapidly as my chest moved up and down trying to catch my breath.

“And that, class, is an energizer charm.”

My head turned, and my chin lifted to meet the eyes of Calliope, who held a metal coin with a strange swirl in the middle in between her fingers. A small smile covered her lips as she watched me watch her. Surprisingly, there wasn’t a hint of annoyance on her face, only simple amusement.
