CHAPTER 2<br />

MY FIRST THOUGHT IS, Damian is insane. Like crazy, nuts,<br />

sophomore English with guys killing their dads and marrying their<br />

moms—ew, and I think my life is gross. As in, the kind of stuff you<br />

see Brad and Orlando duking it out over on the big screen—yum.<br />

Not the kind of stuff the man my mom married fully believes in.<br />

trained in the art of delusional psychopaths. She told me once she<br />

never goes along with their fantasies—it only makes things worse—<br />

and if she’s staying calm then that means she believes him. Which<br />

means she believes the Greek gods exist, too.
