One of the boys sitting beside Abercroht”

Completely out of the blue, Caroline sticks up forhow retarded you are Josh”

“Shut up, ginger,” says Abercrombie

Then a boy I hadn’t noticed before speaks up, he’s sitting directly across from Caroline and me on the other side of the circle “Hey Josh, you wanna throw abuse, direct it at someone your own size, what do you say?”

Abercrory expression causing his forehead to crease But before he can say anything Miss O’Brien returns to the class, handing out photocopied sheets of paper and beginning her lecture about the formation of the United Nations

I take a peek at the boy who had sort of stuck up for us He’s got golden brown hair and his eyes are bright blue He’s sitting beside a boy with shoulder length black hair and a lip ring If I didn’t know any better I would have said they were brothers They look nothing alike but their auras are strikingly sily unusual

Both of their bodies are surrounded by blazing orange, it curls and swirls like fire In fact, the more I study theood colour, it indicates vitality and stamina Perhaps they are athletes

Preoccupied with the auras of these two boys, I fail to notice that the one who’d spoken up to Josh is staring atwhat I’ at He can’t see the fire, only I can I avert my eyes and look down at the notes Miss O’Brien handed out

Miss O’Brien asks the class, “So can anybody tell me when the UN was founded?”
