Excerpt from The Circle
I hope you enjoy this brief excerpt from The Circle :)
Calum drummed his fingers on the desk as he watched them leave the store. He wanted to know more about Laurel and her
interest in faeries. Or maybe he just wanted to know more about her.
Calum wondered what Laurel thought about him, although he didn’t know why it should matter. He hid between the stacks,
quietly following them through the bookstore, listening to their
conversation.
“Well?” asked Andrea, as they approached the door.
“He seems nice,” Laurel said in a hushed whisper. “Not at all weird like John Phillip said. And he doesn’t seem to mind
that Dad’s going to be the assistant principal. Maybe I could be friends with a boy.”
“Imagine that,” said her mother as they closed the door.
“Imagine that,” said Calum. He watched through the window as a car rolled to a stop in front of the bookstore.
