Chapter Seventeen

The Montgomery Secret

Kami did not know how to tell Angela about her brother’s decision to date evil.

The next day, The Nosy Parker came out, with the article Kami had written to explain sorcery to her brothers in it. The article did not specifically mention magic, or Rob Lynburn’s demands. It talked about Sorry-in-the-Vale being under threat, the temptation to do nothing, and the absolute necessity of standing against evil.

Kami left the table in the front hall of the school stacked high with newspapers, and when she came back with Angela before her first class, the table was bare.

“You realize this means you have to photocopy some more in your free class,” Kami instructed Angela sternly.

“I like to think of it as my nap class,” Angela said. “I’m a very advanced student, but I’ve got to keep in training.”

“We have to spread the message of rebellion.”

“I don’t know how you expect me to fight evil while insufficiently rested,” Angela complained.

They were walking down the hall together. Angela was swinging her messenger bag and there was a multicolored scarf flying blazing colors from her neck. She seemed, insofar as one could tell with Angela, happy.

Angela changed the direction of her sphinxlike smile suddenly, and Kami glanced around to see Holly approaching in a cloud of bright curls and fuzzy pink jumper.

“Hi, Angie,” Holly said, and in a more subdued manner: “Hi, Kami.” She fell into step with them, walking on Kami’s other side, and said, “I got you some of my parents’ things.” She pressed a little bag into Kami’s hand, like a peace offering.

“Thank you,” said Kami.

Her hope that they could leave it at that died when Holly said, “So we should probably talk.”

“I have no objection to talking, ever, at any time at all,” Kami said. “You most likely know this about me already. But if you’re thinking of what I think you’re thinking of, we don’t really need to talk about it. I mean, it’s none of my business. Though I’m sorry about my amazingly awkward timing.”

“Don’t be sorry,” Holly said. “It wasn’t anything, I swear. I don’t want to have caused any trouble between you guys.”

“There’s always trouble between us,” Kami told her. “But none of it is your fault. We had a talk after you were gone; I think it went okay.”

“Oh, good.” Holly glanced at Angie and bit her lip. “I wanted to say I was sorry.”

“You have nothing to be sorry for,” Kami said firmly. “But if you have any free classes today, please photocopy some extra copies of the paper and I promise to love you always and forgive you for any evil you ever do. Some say love cannot be bought, but mine is available at this time for anyone with a good heart and the ability to use a photocopier.”

Holly looked uncertain, but Kami kept a stare of laser-like focus on her and she gave in. She dropped the subject, and offered, “I do have a free class after lunch.”

“So do I,” said Angela, and did not mention napping.
