So maybe Amelia had been a bit too mean. Maybe she hadn’t given certain people a chance.
Maybe everyone else needed to learn how to take a fucking joke.
No, no, no, that was not the right way to think. Amelia needed to make a friend of some sort, no matter how insufferable she found them.

Well. This was going to be harder than she thought.
Ember watched as a girl walked up to her and spoke with an enthusiastic voice about the school and the stars. “Yeah. I suppose,” she laughed. “Are you new around here? I don’t think we’ve met. I’m Ember,” she said, introducing herself.
