Both ["accidental" arsons] were a result of her angrily monologuing about Valentine's strictness and chucking around sparklers that she snuck into camp. Since she's upset now, I need to assess that anger on a range from tree arson to whole-planet arson before I tell her the entire story.

A few parents and students passing through the wall's gate stare at Delilah's palpable dark aura the longer she emanates her fury.

"You paid for a single room!" she says, raising her bumpy nose at me, the only physical similarity we share as best friends.
