She muttered, \u201cMountain ash,\u201d and looked down at the slight remains of it on her hand. \u201cWhat is he trying to do? What does he think I am?\u201d Her head jerked up at the sounds. \u201cHe\u2019s immune to me. I don\u2019t even know how I\u2019m going to get out of this.\u201d Those words were strained. Fear made a pit in her belly, but she squared her shoulders and turned to the boy. \u201cThank you. You\u2019ve been more help than you realise. I suggest you run now. You might pull the fire alarm on the way out.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

“How you\u2019re gonna\u2014you can start by\u00a0running\u00a0<\/em>or, I don\u2019t know, calling the\u00a0police\u2014<\/em>” Isaac\u2019s expression shifts judgmentally in that\u00a0hello? anybody home<\/em>? kind of way, and he pushes her none-too-gently into the nearest hallway, the one that leads towards the science labs. \u201cListen, if he\u2019s the kind of nutjob that poses a threat, we should\u00a0probably\u00a0<\/em>get him off school property. We don\u2019t need\u00a0another<\/em> serial killer scare\u2014lure him outside; you can get to the lacrosse field if you go right at the end of that hall and through the locker rooms.\u201d<\/small><\/p>\n

“Because the police are going to believe that a man is hunting me for an ability nobody believes in,” she spat back over her shoulder. “What makes you think I haven’t tried those things? You’re the first person who knows anything about it to even \/try\/ to help — pull the fucking fire alarm or I’ll set it off myself. If I accidentally burn this place down I don’t want anyone in it!”<\/p>\n

She skidded to a stop at the corner, looking back at Isaac. “Thanks. Stay safe.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
