There Is No Devil Sinners Duet Book 2 By Sophie Lark-pdfread

I drag my feet, trying to create more distance between me and the girls.
They’re slowing in pace too.
Kinsley Fisher calls back to me, “Mara! Are you coming to Danny’s birthday
party?”
I can hear this, just barely.
Sighing, I take a bud out of one ear.
Before I can answer, Mandy replies for me: “She can’t. She wasn’t invited.”
She makes the statement calmly, factually, her soft pink lips curved in a
satisfied smile.
I thought Danny might invite me. Out of all the boys in our class, he’s one of
the few who is occasionally nice to me. Once he even gave me a pencil that
had little black cats all over it. It was a week after Halloween and he said he
didn’t want it anymore, but I thought maybe it was because he knew how
much I like cats.
“Why didn’t Danny invite you?” Kinsley asks with mock concern.
She already knows the answers to these questions. In fact, she probably
knows them better than I do. The three Peachy Queens—Kinsley, Angelica,
and her royal highness Mandy Patterson—surely were party to the
conversations where it was publicly discussed who would be invited and who
wouldn’t, how our classmates ranked as potential guests, and all the reasons
why.
“Danny said his mother wouldn’t like it,” Mandy explains in the same matterof-fact
tone.
Mandy is not above lying, but this has the uncomfortable ring of truth.
The parents at Windsor Academy are much more involved than at my old
school. They seem as highly interested in the social lives of the middle
schoolers as the children themselves.
It’s only too likely that Mrs. Phillips has seen and judged me on some scale I
can’t even begin to imagine. All I know is that I came up short.
