by Meg Cabot
Things can’t get worse.
There is nothing wrong with walking to school with your mom and dad on your first day. Except everything.
When someone decides she’s going to beat you up, the best thing to do is hide.
Friends – and queens – don’t let each other get beaten up.
Pretending like you have things under control and actually having things under control are two very different things.
If you say it enough times in your head, it will come true (sometimes).
Cats don’t care what color their collar is.
