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?

This time Mae picked a boy who was sat on the front row a few seats away from me.I was surprised to see that he was wearing the same football jacket that Booth prided himself on wearing daily.It wasn’t every day you saw a football guy sitting on thefront row,especially not a football guy willing to participate in giving answers in class.


He wasn’t as jaw-droppingly handsome as Booth,but there was definitely something about him that made me look twice.


“We use spellcraft for healing,protection,tracking,and good fortune,”he said calmly and just as proudly as Gwen had answered the first question.
