"Red? Little Red?" Wysteria hears the nickname and a memory jolts through her of a boy with a toothy grin and shaggy hair. She turns slowly. Behind her is a lanky guy with hair almost as long as hers, if not longer. His head is tilted slightly in di...

The rest of the school week was less chaotic than that first day. Wysteria had started school at the Reservation on a Wednesday so the weekend came fairly quickly.

At least she felt a little more comfortable around Jacob. He had stopped by her locker on Friday as she tried to get it open and had laughed when she had to hit it several different times to get it open. "I'm sure there's an easier way to do that." He said.
"Yeah, removing the whole door probably." Jacob had snickered. She still didn't talk to him much in history or speech but she at least talked to him before their science class.

So on Saturday morning, despite her fears and despite barely knowing Jacob or his father Billy Black, Wysteria and her mother walked down the road to their house around ten in the morning, ready to head over to Charlie's house. Her mother rang the doorbell and when the door opened, Wysteria expected to see Jacob. Instead, a man in a wheelchair pushed open the screen door, smiling at them warily. Wysteria was frozen with shock. She hoped it didn't show on her face. Had Billy Black always been in a wheelchair? She couldn't remember.
"Ah, Wysteria and Celosia. It's good to see you both." Wysteria tried to crack a smile.
"Hello Mr. Black." She said politely. He waved her way
