Chapter Five
The Child Eating School ~ p.46 ~
“Did she just say Laurel has a crush on me?” Hagen whispered.
Calum felt that little ball of anger again. He tried to play it off, poking Hagen in the ribs with his elbow. “Don’t worry about it. I doubt Laurel has a crush on you.”
“Why not?” asked a defensive Hagen.
“She doesn’t think about us like that.” But Calum remembered the way she had sat so close to him at the movies that day. Or does she?
“She sure does stare at me a lot,” Hagen said grumpily.
“I don’t know,” said Calum. “Maybe she’s wondering why Tullia dresses you so funny.”
“Or maybe,” suggested Hagen, “she’s trying to figure out why someone as cool as I am hangs out with a dork like you.”
“Nah,” said Calum. “Must be she’s trying to find out where that smell’s coming from.”
“Good one,” said Hagen. They both roared with laughter. Their jokes continued, becoming more and more disgusting, until Tullia called Hagen to go home.
Calum’s anger faded. It was stupid to think Laurel liked either one of them. He decided to put away these thoughts and appreciate Laurel for who she was. A friend who just happened to be a girl. Besides, Calum had other things to worry about.
Ten Things to Know About Being A Sidhe
by Calum Ranson
1. Your entire clan is your family, so you have a HUGE family.
2. You get to travel to other clans' mounds. Each clan has a special talent, and special foods!
3. Other Sidhe can give you their "gifts," or talents so you can have lots of extra powers.
4. You get to go to Sidhe school and learn all about Sidhe history and Sidhe verse. I know, I know. School doesn't sound like it would be fun, but in the Otherworld, it is AWESOME!
5. You can communicate with other Sidhe by sharing thoughts.
6. Sidhe are especially atuned to nature, so we can read things in natural settings, like the way trees move in thebreeze, or how to find fresh water.
7. Duine Daonna (humans) who are mean or bullies can't hurt you. In fact, you can make them forget they even know you!
8. Sidhe have a natural musical ability so you easily learn pretty much any instrument you want to play.
9. Traveling between the realms is super easy. Just walk through the threshold and you're there!
10. And the best thing about being a Sidhe --- You have most of your powers by the time you're eleven. So you can pretty much do whatever you want!
