Bax’s snowball arced high and true and hit Lacey Clench with an icy thwunk. Lacey squealed and jumped to her feet, brushing snow from her shirt.
“Bax!” Nory cried, delighted.
“What? You think I did that on purpose?” he said.
Nory’s smile wavered. “You didn’t?”
“Are you kidding? I would never. My arm did it. My arm is out of control!”
Bax threw his next one at Coach, who bellowed and pelted another right back at Bax.
Nory soaked it in.
The Upside-Down Magic class was here to stay. She and her friends would continue figuring out their magic. Sometimes they’d succeed and sometimes they’d mess up. Sometimes, unfortunately, they’d do interpretive dance.
She couldn’t wait to see what the future would bring.
