I stepped in front of her, locking eyes. I’d just overheard Hallie mention a speech contest, and I had a feeling it wasn’t good news.
Amanda raised an eyebrow and tried to sidestep me. “Why does that matter to you?”
“It doesn’t matter to me!” I grabbed her gently to stop her, my voice sharper now. “Amanda, don’t get full of yourself just because Ms. Cooper favors you a bit. Tell me what she said, or you’ll regret it.”
“Regret what?” She stopped, eyes icy, and casually replied, “Whatever.” Then, she walked off, leaving me behind. I clenched my fists so tightly that my nails dug into my palms.
Amanda, just wait and see!
I took a deep breath and opened the Anglish teacher’s office door. I was here about the Werewolf Language Speech Contest. “Ms. Cooper, who are you thinking of recommending for the speech contest from our class?”
Hallie looked up, smiling. “I was just about to talk to you! You’re definitely my pick. Your common werewolf pronunciation is perfect, and you know plenty of old slang. You’ve got an edge.”
My eyes lit up. “Thanks! I’ll do my best.”
“But…” Hallie’s tone shifted. “Amanda is pretty good at languages as well. You should talk with her and share tips. You’ll both improve faster.”
My smile faltered, and I nervously twisted the hem of my shirt. Amanda again! Even Hallie admired her. I swallowed my frustration and plastered on a polite smile. “Thanks; Ms. Cooper. I’ll ask Amanda for advice.”
“Good. I believe in you. Class is starting soon, so head back.”
Walking out, I felt completely deflated, my steps heavy. No way. I had to beat her!
I had to outdo Amanda and leave her in the dust!
I pulled out my phone. “Mom, is it true Mr. Duncan came back to the country? Let’s go visit him sometime
After hanging up, I let out a small sigh of relief. Amanda, just wait and see!
Josh’s POV:
After school, it was my turn to drive Amanda back to the castle.

Normally, I couldn’t resist teasing her a bit. But today, seeing her in the passenger seat, I couldn’t get a single word out.
I kept thinking about this morning at the training camp. Her perfect score in the prelims had spread like wildfire. Even Camilla had said, “Josh, you deserved to lose this time.” My ears burned just remembering it.
“You’re just scared Camilla will judge you!” Oscar teased from inside me.
