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?

Everyone in the room moved to stand in the perfect circle around her.I was instantly amazed that one hundred and twenty people could fit so easily into one space.


“Tonight we come together to celebrate the full moon and also honour the loss of one of our brightest students,”Celestria called out,and everyone in the crowd dipped their head in silent acknowledgement of Molly’s death.I lowered my own head and closed my eyes,thinking of the only time I’d ever met her.She’d spoken to me kindly,and I began to wish that I’d had more time to get to know her.


I was almost certain that I heard the sound of scoffing coming from somewhere close by and sure enough when I turned my head,I found Rhea around ten students away with an amused smirk on her face.
