101 " Fane stood up and gave Mr. Mooney a glare so dark it sent a shiver down my spine. It was the first real sensation I’d experienced since the accident. "

105 " Gray glanced at Nolan. Why, he mouthed. She looked back at Madame Girard. “Because I’m going to throw up!” she cried suddenly. It was impromptu, not really something out of Glee, unless she was playing the impregnated Quinn. It did succeed in getting her out of French class, though. Blowing chunks was disgusting in any language. "
106 " I think she’s still in a coma,” Clayton said. “That’s game,” Tyler said. “Your serve.” I picked up the birdie and handed it to Fane. It’s a good thing it wasn’t "
107 " It’s beautiful,” Raj said. He hoped Shay would give it to him tonight. He had a couple more days to pay her the rest of the money before Valentine’s, but he’d feel better if he had the amulet now. "
108 " They were supposed to be discussing Yeats that afternoon and Gray didn’t appreciate having Charlene’s minion stop her on the way to class with a message that her sister planned on plunging to her death before the day was out. That would teach Blake Foster—or so Charlene thought. The jerk had dumped her sister after first period and, worse, had been seen sucking face with Stacey Morehouse at lunch. Gray started shivering the moment she’d stepped onto the roof. It was friggin’ February for crying out loud and she was wearing shorts. Granted, she had thick black tights on underneath, but still—brrr! Couldn’t Charlene have scheduled her dramatic death scene in the warmth of their home over a bottle of pills? "
109 " me was relieved he didn’t say anything. All I could think about was the obscene gesture he’d made right before my world turned up-side-down. I hardly noticed his hair. I was too distracted by his lips. And now his abs. Luckily, I wouldn’t have to look at either while we played side by side. At the far court, Clayton and Tyler bounced birdies up and down on the strings of their rackets. "

111 " They’re nothing alike.” Shay snorted. “They’re everything alike. They’re identical twins. "
112 " Starts? I’m not starting anything.” Gray decided it was worth touching Raj to push past him. Raj quickly caught up. “How about you teach me your invisibility spell?” “You’re "
113 " Gray threw open the door, swiftly followed by her legs and everything that went with them. She high-kicked the door shut and glared at Raj. In response he snatched up his keys, shoved them into the ignition, and floored the gas pedal. The vehicle roared. Gray "
114 " and peered over the edge at the damp walkway below. It led into the student parking lot. Everyone was in fifth period . . . everyone except for the identical twins standing over the heads of their oblivious classmates and teachers. A suicide threat, seriously? This is why Gray was missing English? They were supposed to be discussing Yeats that afternoon and Gray didn’t appreciate having Charlene’s minion stop her on the way to class with a message that "
115 " withdrew her poetry book and flipped to page fifty-two. When the bell rang she stuffed her book back inside. Everyone leapt from their desks to make for sixth period. Sadie Howard glanced back then did a double take when she saw Gray. They usually sat together. How was Gray going to explain that one? Just as she headed toward Sadie, Gray was bumped from behind. The force of the body against hers sent her pack flying out of her hands onto the ground. Okay, now she was pissed. “What’s your . . .” Gray whipped around to find herself face-to-face with Raj McKenna. “ . . . problem,” Gray finished, the "
116 " Hello? Earth to Aurora,” Tyler called across the net. “I think she’s still in a coma,” Clayton said. “That’s game,” Tyler said. “Your serve.” I picked up the birdie and handed it to Fane. It’s a good thing it wasn’t a real bird. Fane crushed it in his hand. Only for a moment. Only I saw. He "
117 " you? Do you know what this would do to Mom? And what about me? How am I going to get through the rest of the semester when I’m all sad and stuff?” Charlene snorted. “Like you’d care.” She had to be cold in her skinny jeans, but at least she was wearing a sweater. The cold seeped down to Gray’s bones. The tips of her fingers felt as though they’d "
118 " Hello? Earth to Aurora,” Tyler called across the net. “I think she’s still in a coma,” Clayton said. “That’s game,” Tyler said. “Your serve.” I picked up the birdie and handed it to Fane. It’s a good thing it wasn’t a real bird. Fane crushed it in his hand. Only for a moment. Only I saw. He relaxed and looked across the net. I felt that odd shiver return. Fane smacked the birdie as though it were a fly. He walloped it right between Tyler and Clayton so fast neither boy had time to react. When they did manage a return hit, Fane gracefully flicked away any stray birds that came at me. I watched in fascination, fully engaged "
119 " All of his imperfections breezed out the door as soon as I got my first look at the six-pack "
120 " pack straining against his cotton tee. My eyes must have been playing tricks on me. For a guy with such a slender build, Fane was surprisingly muscled. Fane took deliberate steps down the aisle of the bench, straight to the edge. He jumped from the bleachers, causing them to rock in his wake. I swore I felt a thud inside the pit of my stomach when he landed. Mr. Mooney nodded at Fane. “You two are playing Clayton and Tyler.” Fane walked past me and took two rackets off the floor. He handed me one. I took it from his outstretched hand then followed several steps behind. Part of me was relieved he didn’t say anything. All I could think about was the obscene gesture he’d made right before my world turned up-side-down. I hardly noticed his hair. I "
