My Blood Wizard System
“First day of high school, Celeste Valentina Morau. Try not to break any hearts before lunch.”
I tugged the hood of my white-and-pink hoodie lower over my platinum bangs. “Hearts are overrated. Bones heal faster.”
She laughed, kissed my forehead, tasted like sweet tea, and goodbye. I kicked the door shut, slapped my skateboard to the asphalt, and rolled.
Forty-seven steps from curb to front doors if you walk.
I counted twenty-three pushes on urethane wheels instead.
Inside, Lakeside High smelled like floor wax and boiled peanuts. Lockers slammed like gunshots. A banner screamed RAMS Verses. MALVERN – FRIDAY! in blood-red letters that dripped when the AC kicked on.
