    “Coach Slader caught up followed closely by a trail of curious students all as surprised as I at this turn of events.Coach spoke in a delicate voice, like he didn’t want to spook a dangerous animal.
    “Jayden, what are you doing?”
    “She needs medical attention.” The guy didn’t pause stride.
    “Yes, but—”
    “I’m taking her to the nurse.”
    “Okay, but—”
    “She’s too weak to walk.”
    I huffed. “I am not. Put me down.”
    In one swift movement the boy stopped, dumped me on my feet and stepped back. My knees buckled and before you could say “Bob’s your uncle” he scooped me up again and kept walking. A chorus of giggles erupted behind us.
    “See,” he said.I put my arms around his neck and shut up.”
    A&E Kirk

    “I am the god of dreams, but not even I would dream of speaking for Hades,” Morpheus replied with a mischievous look in his eyes. “But if I had to guess, I would say it’s because he knows how destructive his little brother is. Hades, unlike most of the other gods, cares for mortals and doesn’t want to see them at war. Probably because he has to tend their souls when they die. He has had to judge millions of souls and that has given him a strong sense of justice. Leaving you to fight Zeus with no training is something he would consider unjust.”
    Josephine Angelini, Goddess

    “Aw, man. I’d just shot an angel in the face.I made my way into the foyer and sat down on the stairs. I glanced up at the big old grandfather clock. It was going on ten. My folks would be home soon.
    “How was your evening, honey?”
    “Killed an angel.”
    “Well, isn’t that nice.”
    That wasn’t happening. Daddy never liked guns in the first place, Mother just pretended to. I was so grounded.”

    “Hold on to me!” Tedros yelled, hacking briars with his training sword.Dazed, Agatha clung to his chest as he withstood thorn lashes with moans of pain. Soon he had the upper hand and pulled Agatha from the Woods towards the spiked gates, which glowed in recognition and pulled apart, cleaving a narrow path for the two Evers. As the gates speared shut behind them,Agatha looked up at limping Tedros, crisscrossed with bloody scratches, blue shirt shredded away.
    “Had a feeling Sophie was getting in through the Woods,” he panted, hauling her up into slashed arms before she could protest. “So Professor Dovey gave me permission to take some fairies and stakeout the outer gates. Should have known you’d be here trying to catch her yourself.”
    Agatha gaped at him dumbly.
    “Stupid idea for a princess to take on witches alone,” Tedros said, dripping sweat on her pink dress.
    “Where is she?” Agatha croaked. “Is she safe?”
    “Not a good idea for princesses to worry about witches either,” Tedros said, hands gripping her waist. Her stomach exploded with butterflies.
    “Put me down,” she sputtered—
    “More bad ideas from the princess.”
    “Put me down!”Tedros obeyed and Agatha pulled away.
    “I’m not a princess!” she snapped, fixing her collar.
    “If you say so,” the prince said, eyes drifting downward.Agatha followed them to her gashed legs, waterfalls of brilliant blood. She saw blood blurring— Tedros smiled.
    “One . . . two . . . three . . .”She fainted in his arms.
    “Definitely a princess,” he said.”

    “Then he smiled. It was the first time I’d seen him smile, and it threw me. It was kind of…awesome.
    He spoke: “I can see through your dress.”
    “What?” I said automatically.
    “The light coming from behind you like that. Can see right through it.” The smile widened.
    “I…”
    “Look, I’m not complaining. And since you haven’t moved, I’m guessing you don’t mind me looking.”
    I had no idea what to do, so I stumbled further into the shed and walked to the side into the dark so I wasn’t being backlit anymore.
    “And you’ve come inside, so you want to be closer to me.”
    “No!” This I shouted a little too loudly. And to prove how “no” I was, I pointed the shears at him.
    “You gonna cut it off?” He raised an eyebrow.
    “Cut what off?” Damn it. I had to stop answering him automatically like that. Think before you speak, Riley. Think!The young man glanced down at himself, and I almost followed his look until I remembered that he was totally naked, and then I understood what he meant.God, no, I hadn’t even thought of that! Who did he think I was?Maybe the girl who shot him in the face maybe?”

    “Okay, gang," I said, "according to blueprints, there's an elevator access panel on the east side of the building. We may get a little dirty, but—"
    "I thought we'd just go through the doors," Liz said, flashing three beautifully engraved invitations and some wonderfully authentic fake IDs.
    The tickets were $20,000 each. The Secret Service had been vetting the guest list for weeks, so Bex and I stopped beneath a streetlamp and studied Liz.
    "Do I even want to know where you got those?" I asked.
    Liz seemed to ponder it, and then she said, "No.”

    “You really saw some?" Liz said an hour later. Sure, we had the stereo blaring and the shower running, but Liz still whispered, "They really...exist?"
    "Liz," I whispered back, "they're not unicorns."
    "No," Bex said flatly, "they're boys. And they're...good.”

    “So I hear we get to go to town this weekend. Want to catch a movie or something?
    --Z
    P.S. That is, if Jimmy doesn't mind.

    Translation: This weekend might be a good chance for us to see each other outside our school in a social environment, free of competetiton. I do not view other boys as threats, and I enjoy making them seem insignificant by calling them the wrong names. (Translation by Macey McHenry)”

    “Oh, and Cammie," At the sounds of his voice, I spun around, expecting to hear him crack a joke or call me Gallagher Girl. The last thing I expected was to feel his arms sliding arounds me, to sense the whole world turning upside down as Zach dipped me in the middle of the foyer and pressed his lips to mine. Then he smiled that smile I'd come to know. "I always finish what I start.”
