covered her round middle. Obviously, the woman was trying to keep it together. If it were me, I d
probably have told Jenna where to stick it, but Dr. Wanda managed to smile. All of us are making birds
that express our individuality. Every bird has a chance to fly, eight legs or not.
Jenna grunted and went back to tying her deformed wings.
We ll be having a fire circle ceremony on the full moon tomorrow night, Dr. Wanda continued.
Your bird represents the old you, and by burning it in the bonfire you ll be releasing your new spirit to
fly.
Burning them is supposed to help them fly? Jenna said, rolling her eyes. That is such crap. I
hope this raffia isn t treated with toxic elements that ll form dangerous fumes when it s incinerated.
Dr. Wanda smiled, still ignoring Jenna. The full moon is the perfect time for beginnings. Many
ancient societies believed full moons possess magic.
Price grinned. That s a big night in Savannah. Voodoo priestesses, cemeteries at midnight, all
that.
You actually believe in that drivel? asked Austin with a nervous laugh.
My momma says it s true, and I don t need to find out for myself, said Price. He gave the
sleeves of his rugby shirt a little push up his forearms and went to work tying on big, goofy bird wings.
I need to talk to you, Ariel whispered and led me over to the supply table. I think Price really
likes me, she said, pulling more blue raffia from a box. Did you see him take my tray to the kitchen at
breakfast? I didn t even ask him to do it!
Yeah. He s sweet.
Shelby, you don t understand, Ariel said, grabbing my arm. He s the first guy to like me in a
long time.
Didn t you have a boyfriend back at school?
Ariel colored slightly. Which one St. Augustine s in Zurich or Fulton Prep in upstate New York

or Oceanside Academy in Orange County?
That sucks. It s hard to keep a boyfriend when you keep switching schools.
Yeah, it doesn t help when they re all-girl schools to start with.
No! I said, a little too loudly. Everyone stared at me, forgetting all about their dumb raffia
birds. Way to go, Shelby.
Problems? Dr. Wanda was one of those adults who could sneak up on you in milliseconds
without any sound.
She s great. Upset about her crappy wings, Ariel said, holding up my lopsided bird, which was,
obviously, not my best work.
We all have crappy wings. The challenge is to use them to fly, Dr. Wanda said. She gave me a
pat on one of my shoulders. You can do it, Shelby.
I think I m gonna puke, Jenna said, making a gagging motion over at the table.
Oh, just make your bird, I growled at her.
Dr. Wanda walked on, leaving Ariel and me alone.
You poor thing, I said. No guys?
No, Ariel said. I m not sure what to do about Price. She met my eyes for a second, looking
slightly embarrassed, and then started straightening one of her bird s legs.
You don t do anything, okay? I said. It s just like being friends, but then, one day, you ll know
if you really like him, and things change. It happens on its own.
So, um& She smiled shyly at me. What do I do if he wants to make out?
If you want to do it, then do it, I said. But be sure it s for real, Ariel.
Chewing her lip, she glanced at me in the mirror. Is it real with you and Austin? I mean, I think
you guys are great together. He s gorgeous. He s talented.
He s a werewolf, I wanted to add.
Well, he s definitely different from other guys I ve known, I said. For half a sec I considered
spilling my guts, but of course that would have been a terrible idea.
She shook her head. Austin s not that different. He s just your average son of a rock star. Trust
me, I ve known a few.
Yeah, I guess&
What s wrong? Ariel smiled uneasily.
I shook my head. Nothing.
She sighed. If you re worried about his problem, just don t get sucked in. Isn t that what Dr.
Wanda said yesterday in girls group? You can only be responsible for yourself. [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
