I couldn't help but think my deskmate, Adeline Jenson, was a bit crazy. When people picked on her or made fun of her, she just lowered her head, like she was born to be a target. The guys would leer and snicker, calling her "Big Boobs." The girls would sneer and say she was a "closet freak." She'd just hunch over, curl up, and sneak off to cry somewhere no one could see. But then one day, I was hiding out on the roof, having a smoke. That was when I saw her grab Ryan Carter, the school bully, by the head. Her face was completely blank when she lit his hair on fire.
