Some girls are born perfect.
They have perfect hair, perfect eyes, perfect skin.
They have perfect grades and high ambitions. They’re popular and
admired. They’re adored and revered. And loved.
I’m not one of them.
That’s the first thing to know about me: I’m not perfect.
I have flaws. Many, many flaws.
I don’t have perfect grades. I don’t have high ambitions.
I don’t get why the sum of all the angles of a triangle has to be one
hundred and eighty or the world will collapse. Or why when we talk about
the heart, we reduce it to a muscular organ with four chambers that’s sole
purpose is to pump blood through the body.
I’m far from being popular and I’ve got something called witchy eyes.
Or at least, I call them that.
They’re golden in color and they arch up at the corners, making them
look sort of catty, witchy. Which is super poetic because I’ve got a witchy
name too.
Salem.
Salem Salinger, and the second thing to know about me is that along
with witchy eyes and a witchy name, I’ve got a witchy heart as well.
Meaning, my heart has secrets.
In fact, my heart is swollen with secrets. Many, many secrets like my
many, many flaws. And that is why I did what I did.
The thing that landed me here.
The little, inconsequential crime that got me sent to St. Mary’s School
for Troubled Teenagers – an all-girls reform school.
Only they don’t call it a reform school anymore.
It’s not the 50s or the 60s. These days, schools like this are called
therapeutic school. Because they believe in therapy. And restoration and
reformation. They believe in teaching us to be productive members of
society.
Who’s us?
We’re the bad and hopeless girls.
We’re the girls who break rules and love rebellion. We don’t like
school or classes. So we keep getting into trouble with our classmates and
teachers. Sometimes we get expelled multiple times from multiple schools
until our parents or guardians are forced to take drastic actions.
Some of us break the law too, which technically I did.
I mean, there were a couple of cops involved. They didn’t handcuff me
or anything but I had to ride in their squad car and go to the police station.
But there were no charges pressed. Instead, I was sent to St. Mary’s.
I’ve been here almost a week and I’m already behind. In assignments, I
mean.
God, the assignments and homework.
They’re very strict about that here.
So I really shouldn’t be falling asleep in class if I want to catch up.
But it’s Friday afternoon and it’s trigonometry and it’s not as if I’m
magically going to understand everything to do with triangles and tangents by
paying attention in the last fifteen minutes of the class anyway.
