Keating strutted back to the front of the room, put the trash can on the floor and jumped into it. The boys laughed louder. Fire danced in Keating's eyes. He stomped the trash a few times, then stepped out and kicked the can away.

The frst day of class dawned bright and clear.
The junior-class boys dashed in and out of the bathroom,
dressing in record time.

At work the next day, I take Mandira's advice and turn off my phone. I do turn my phone on at lunch, though, and I have a text from May asking if six is a good time to meet tonight. I tell her it's perfect. Because we're going on a date. A real date. At a restaurant.

Wouter van Noort is 70% done with How to Excavate a Heart

I know one thing for sure: I'm already past the point of no return. The point where I can back out gracefully and tell her, "Eh, this isn't really working out." Because I know, I know, I know - I'm falling for her.

Wouter van Noort is 59% done with How to Excavate a Heart

I wake up to the sun on my face, and keep my eyes closed as I stretch out, preparing to spend the day avoiding Beatrice and human contact in general. But then I remember two very important facts.
1) I am not in Beatrice's bed. 2) I am, in fact, in May's bed.

Things feel normal again, which is a funny way of describing any part of sleeping over at the house of a girl who I met less than two weeks ago by way of hitting her with my car. But still, it's normal.
It's all normal.

Pretty much the last thing I want to do today is go over to May's house and walk her dad's dog. Because if I do, I'll see May. And if I see May, there's a strong possibility that my body will once again betray me.

When I wake up the next morning, things are hazy. For a moment, I'm convinced that seeing the girl yesterday -May- was a dream. But I'm pretty sure it wasn't. I'm pretty sure she texted me, told me her name. I'm pretty sure she wanted to throw me facedown into the snow and leave me there to die.

And then: "You've got to be fucking kidding me"
Because who opens the door other than the girl my mom
and I bumped with our car.

That's when I see her. She's crossing the street.
A girl, wearing a red beanie and a puffy coat.

Thomas zag de glimlach om de mondhoeken van Samuel.
'Wees welkom, Ruiters!' De poort zwaaide verder open en De Vijf stormden naar binnen. Achter hen werd de poort snel gesloten met een zware dreun.

De oorsprong van jullie speciale krachten zijn vijf bijzondere elementen. Ik heb het over vuur, hout, metaal, water en aarde!
Zo is het ooit voorspeld.

'Raveleijn!' zei hij luid en duidelijk. Boven de poort werden langzaam woorden in de boog gegraveerd, alsof een onzichtbare hand ze in de stenen schreef. 'Waar raven ruijters zullen zeijn,' las Thomas hardop.

of een naam: Raveleijn.
