Three’s a crowd. At least that’s what I’ve heard, and I’ve definitely come to learn that it’s true. My best friend’s new girlfriend is a complete pain in the ass, and if it wasn’t for me being on my last warning at Gilford High, I’d definitely do something about it. The consequences of my doing so aren’t just your usual slap on the wrist kind of punishments. When strange things begin to happen, and my eyes start to freaking GLOW, I’m whisked away to ... you guessed it ... the Winterwood Academy for the ‘Gifted.’ I don’t feel very gifted. In fact, I feel like the biggest freak in an entire school of freaks. As the hottest guy at the Academy would say, “I’m the Queen of Freaks,” but coming from him, it’s actually kind of sweet. Oh, and did I forget to mention that not only am I having strange encounters with a Goddamn Goddess, I’m also hearing voices in my head, and there’s a book in the Academy library that’s actually TALKING to me! They say that only a true Winterwood Witch is capable of opening that book, so why the hell does it want anything to do with me?

“She seems friendly,”I said once we had our trays and were on our way over to one of the quieter tables.


“She is one of the good ones.”Zoe shrugged.


I cringed,wondering what one of the bad ones might be like.


It turned out that I wouldn’t have to wait very long to find out.


Not a moment after we’d sat down at the last empty table,I heard the sound of footsteps once more.I half expected it to be Luci and Keeya coming to join us.But when I looked up,I saw that they were still waiting for their trays.
