Some of the ink had bled, making parts of the report hard to read. That file you’re carrying may have some answers. “When you were summoned to the office, I should’ve realized they’d zeroed in on you.” “Because when a demigod uses one, the signal attracts monsters,” Sam said, like this was obvious information.
“Why is everyone so obsessed about me using a stupid cell phone?”
I was afraid this might happen when you told me you had used Lexi’s cell phone.” “Not important? How is my best friend turning into a livestock animal not important?” He made that bleating sound like he always did when he was annoyed. He was still rocking the goat fur and the hooves. I hoped Sam would look normal again, but nope. I was still dripping wet from the sprinklers, and my legs were shaking from the adrenaline rush. Fire alarms and emergency vehicle sirens howled behind us in the distance. I jumped through the broken wall and followed him.īy the time we reached our favorite clearing in the woods, I was gasping for breath. With my luck, I would probably get blamed for destroying the office and disintegrating the guidance counselor…And I couldn’t forget what Sam had said: More monsters will be coming. Sam leaped through the hole in the office wall and ran toward the woods, where he and I had spent so many summers hiding out and playing when we were kids.Ĭould I trust Sam? How could I not? Even if he had suddenly grown furry legs and hooves, he was my best friend. What was in that file? Why had that lion/counselor/monster lady been so intent on killing me? With the sprinklers going, it would soon be ruined. I spotted the red folder nestled nicely in one of the tree branches. “No time to talk! More monsters will be coming. “Wh-what-how-?” I pointed feebly at his cloven hooves. “Thank the gods you’re safe!” Sam shouted over the sound of the fire alarms.
