“You feel like it’s going to rain.”
“What?”
But Aadhya was already waving her hands around and elaborating. “You know that feeling when you’re a mile away from anywhere, and you didn’t take your umbrella because it was sunny when you left, and you’re in your good suede boots, and suddenly it gets dark and you can tell it’s about to start pouring buckets, and you’re like Oh great. ” She nodded to herself, satisfied with her brilliant analogy. “That’s what it feels like, whenever you show up.”
“They’re freaked out over Orion.”
“After you’ve only been dating two months?” Liu said.
“We’re not dating!”
Aadhya made a dramatic show of rolling her eyes heavenwards. “After you’ve
been doing whatever you’re doing that is not dating but totally looks like dating to
everyone else, for only two months.”
Chapter 2: Cushions
And you actually like Orion, who is kind of creepy—”
“He’s not!”
“Excuse you, he totally is,” Aadhya said. “Half the time he can’t recognize me
unless I’m with you. He pretends to when I say hi to him in shop, but every time
his brain goes into this panicky loop like _who is she oh no I’m supposed to know
her oh no I’m failing at human._ And it’s not just me, he does it to everyone. He
could probably tell you every last mal he’s killed in the entire time he’s been at
school, but us human beings all get filed under the generic category of future
potential rescue. I don’t know why he can see you, I think it’s because you’re
some crazy super-maleficer in waiting. Creepy.”
Chapter 4: Midterms
“It’s just—” I stopped squabbling and sat down on the floor of her room in a thump and said, “It was just so nice,” and maybe that sounds stupid but I couldn’t help my voice wobbling. Nice was what we didn’t have in here. You could manage desperate victories and even dazzling wonders sometimes, but not anything nice.
Aadhya sighed out a long deep breath. “Well, forget it. I’m not getting eaten by a maw-mouth because you got yourself knocked up.”
Chapter 7: Alliance
She flounced on from me to join Alfie and the London kids further ahead in the queue. They all moved back to make room for her right behind him, even Sarah and Brandon, although they were enclavers and she wasn’t.
“She’s a monster,” I said flatly to Aadhya and Liu as we queued. […]
“She’s the valedictorian,” Aadhya said, which was in fact a good point: terrifying ruthlessness is close to a necessary criterion.
