    Summary

    Aguefort Academy's school production of Into the Woods Junior promises to be an absolute calamity if Adaine can't whip the orchestra into shape. Luckily, she's managed to acquire a trumpeter, and some of the actors don't seem all that bad - but some days it seems like playing her flute is the only thing keeping her sane, and if the musical goes badly, she's not sure even that will be enough.

    Her awful sister Aelwyn seems convinced that it's going to be a disaster, and Adaine is more determined than ever to prove her wrong.

    Summary

    Riz is an agent of angels, and today he’s Kristen’s campaign manager, and tomorrow he’s treasurer for way too many clubs, and the day after that, he’s the best friend any of them could have asked for. Riz is Sklonda’s son through and through, the epitome of being loved, something that Kristen could never hope to be. Riz Gukgak is The Ball, and he’s a baller, and he’s a hero.

    Kristen is wearing shorts that are digging into her hips and a thong that’s making her sweat in strange places, and she’s gotten three paper cuts and hasn’t told Riz, and she’ll never be good enough to be his friend.

    Summary

    Riz Gukgak isn’t tired, no matter what his friends say. He should be, it’s exam season after all, and he just finished a very big exam that he had been worrying about for a while, that he’d stayed up until midnight to study for and then woken up at five to study for again.

    But Riz Gukgak doesn’t feel tired. He doesn’t even feel anything.

    Summary

    “Like hell I was gonna let you go without eating something. You can’t survive off caffeine alone, kid.” She squints at Adaine’s mug. “You want any milk or sugar for that?” 

    Adaine isn’t going to be drinking it, no matter how much she wants to. She opens her mouth to say as much. “Um, sure,” she finds herself saying instead. 

    Lydia rolls her way back to the kitchen. “Well, which one?” she asks, hand stretched halfway to the fridge. 

    “Both?” Adaine asks timidly, mouth betraying her again. Gods, at the least it would be nice if you could be wrong confidently, she thinks. What’s the matter with you?

    or: the Adaine "many guys up there" sequel
