Prom night came, and Tristan and I doubled with Jane and Hunter. Jane spent her own money to buy back my prom dress for me, and I did her hair in a style that rivaled Cinderella’s. It felt nice to be friends again, the way we had been before.

  The dance took place in a local hotel conference room, not a castle; and rock music blared over the speakers instead of musicians playing in a loft. But it still seemed more magical than my last ball had.

  I danced with Tristan nearly every song and felt like I’d never get tired of having his arms around me. Toward the end of the night they announced the prom royalty. Hunter was crowned prom king. They made him come up to the front of the room and put a spiky crown on his head.

  Tristan nudged me while we clapped for him. “So do you still think a crown makes a guy look hot?”

  “Actually, I think I’m more into sleek-looking suits right now.” I ran my fingers over the arm of his tuxedo and gave him an appraising stare. “You know, sort of that James Bond cool look.”

  “Uh-huh.” He finished clapping and took hold of my hand. “I guess I should be glad you’ve only recently gone for the spy look, or for the last eight months I would have been somewhere dodging bullets, wouldn’t I?” Then he tilted his head. “You’re not talking to your fairy godmother anymore, are you?”

  I laughed and squeezed his hand. “Don’t worry. You’re safe.”

  To the Honorable Department,

  I am in receipt of student Chrysanthemum Everstar’s extra-credit report and have reviewed it thoroughly. Although I approve of the results Miss Everstar was able to achieve, I found her methods lacking. I recommend she has more practice before admittance to GM University.

  I’ll have Madame Bellwings give her another assignment.

  Yours,
