The Hex Breaker's Eyes
Page 17
In French class, sitting next to Tam again, we endure the whispers of people who think I tried to murder Tam until Mme. St. Pierre begins her lesson with a small welcome back.
The French class is in the back of the top floor of the school, looking out over the highway that runs alongside our little town. Even in the morning, it’s steady with cars and trucks, people going skiing or commuting to the big city for work. I let my mind wander a bit, listening to a French lesson that involves words I should have learned a month ago so I’m completely lost as to what any of it means.
As one car passes, I can see a red glow from the passenger side, a red aura shining right through the roof and side of the car. A minute and dozens of cars later, I see an SUV going the other way that has a big purple glow shining from its passenger side.
Before then end of class, I see another car pass with a hex on the driver.
“What is it?” Tam asks.
The bell must have rung already. Everyone else is standing up and filing through the door, but I was lost in thought looking at the highway. It occurs to me that for there to be several websites dedicated to hexes, there must be a number of people all around the world who know about this stuff. And that means there a number of people around the world casting hexes, drinking potions, and getting up to other kinds of magical trouble. They’re still out there, those strangers from the internet, along with Sydney and the two coven witches.
“Something got you spooked?” Tam asks, waking me from my daydream.
I stand up, turn my back to the window and we walk away.
“No,” I say, “not anymore.”
