The Secrets Of Drearcliff Grange School - Plot & Excerpts
On the stairs to Entomology, a small, black-blazered girl was ahead of her. Sidling between rows, she passed out of Amy’s sight. Was she ducking away from Amy or just looking for a book? Curious, she peeped into the narrow, shaded alleyway between tall, dusty shelves. It wasn’t Rayne, but Phair – a dark-haired Second. An easy mistake. Phair wore the new Drearcliff kit. Black, with grey; not grey, with black. Perhaps because the uniform was new, it seemed shiny, like waxed leather or a beetle’s carapace. She’d seen Phair before, of course. Like most Seconds, she wasn’t noticeable. A spear-carrier or pageboy in Viola pageants. Light Fingers would call her an Ordinary. From the top of a set of library steps, Phair was reaching for a book about locusts. Sensing Amy’s presence, she swivelled her head like an owl’s to stare back. In the gloom, her eyes flashed black as her uniform. The Second didn’t much resemble Rayne, really, though she had that same unsmiling expression, at once absent and focused.
