Discern Excerpt #2

Nicole and Lizzie walked in silence for a moment, exiting the building. Nicole’s thoughts returned to the brunette Lizzie had been sitting next to, and again, feelings of empathy filled her heart. The poor girl. It wasn’t until Nicole Restarted that people stopped questioning whether or not she was magical. And though she’d been able to hide the fact that she had no idea what focus she’d need to use to Channel while in high school, she realized that college was a completely different scenario.

 Channeling didn’t start at the same time for everyone. But why did Nicole have to be the one who struggled? It was so embarrassing. At least Mother and Dad didn’t really care. Or, if they did, they didn’t show it. But neither of them was an Arete, so it wasn’t terribly important to them. Mother was the first child in her family, and Dad the second in his.

 Nicole took a deep breath of humid air and pulled her hoodie closer around her. “How long ago was that girl’s birthday?”

 “It’s been a week.” Lizzie dug out a bottle of juice from her purse and offered some to Nicole.

 Nicole shook her head, and Lizzie took a drink.

 “For her sake,” Nicole said, “I hope she doesn’t Restart the way I did.”

 Lizzie choked on her juice, then wiped her mouth, laughing. “You mean, throwing up in class in front of your brand-new boyfriend and passing out in your own puke? Yeah, I hope she doesn’t have to experience that.”

 “I’ll never forget the expression on his face when I came to.”

 “Complete disgust.”

 “Shortest relationship I’ve ever been in.”

 The girls chuckled. Nicole relished the feeling—it had taken a long time for her to find humor in the experience.

 She put her hands in her back pockets, purse strap over one shoulder. “At least I knew what was going on.” And she had—she’d stayed up late one night, reading about what happened when an Arete’s magic manifested itself. The Arete body could only handle so much sensory overload—passing out was the natural way to adjust to the change. That moment was called Restarting. And it was never fun.

 Of course, throwing up didn’t usually happen. Nicole was just lucky that way.

 “The idiot thought I was a freak.” She sighed. “I’m sure puking didn’t help.”

  “He also knew that most Aretes are only unconscious for five minutes. You were gone for ten.”

Andrea graduated from Brigham Young University with a bachelor of science degree in Communications Disorders. She is the author of many full-length novels (the Kilenya Series and Mosaic Chronicles) and several novellas. Writing is the chocolate of her life - it is, in fact, the only thing she ever craves.
