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?

That wasn’t entirely true,but I wasn’t about to tell her about Booth and Rhea’s argument.That was a whole other kettle of fish.


“Let’s hope it stays that way.”Keeya groaned.


“Come on.We should go and get ready for dinner if we don’t want to be late to the temple,”Zoe suggested,and I was relieved that the conversation seemed to be over.


Dinner seemed to go off without a hitch which I was glad about because after missinglunch I was starving.
