VALENTINA
Night had leached the city of color, but I could still see the heavy
purple bruising blossoming around Reyna’s left eye as if an inky
shadow from the trees above had cast her face in splotchy
darkness. That would have been far less sinister than the truth. The mark
wasn’t a magical trick of the moonlight, much to my horror. Someone had
hurt my friend.
“Reyna, honey. What happened?” I wrapped her in my arms, the arctic
December air forgotten. Reyna had sent me a cryptic message to meet her
halfway between our houses. I’d been so worried that I’d snuck out of the
house in a hurry, only realizing I’d left my coat at home once I was two
houses away. I’d debated running back, but now I was glad I hadn’t wasted
another second.
My friend shook in my arms as violent sobs wracked her entire body. I
gave her time for the emotion to work its way through her system. Only
once her jerky, turbulent breaths evened did I pull back to search her face
for answers.
In the months we’d spent getting to know one another, Reyna had never
been forthcoming about her background, but I’d never imagined she was in
danger. I’d gathered that her family situation wasn’t great. It was relatively

“You can tell me anything, Rey. You know that.”
I adored my best friend. Reyna Vargas was the most genuine,
kindhearted person I’d ever met. I’d felt an urgent need to take her under
my wing the first day she joined our school at the start of senior year. She
was so soft-spoken and delicate that she would need protection if she was
going to survive the hallways of Xavier Catholic School, where privilege
was the backbone of the curriculum and the air itself was infused with the
fresh leather scent of entitlement. The kids at my school were carbon copies
of their CEO fathers and corporate counsel mothers. They’d been trained
since birth to smell blood in the water from a mile away.
Xavier bullies could teach the CIA innovative new torture tactics.
Reyna had been a brand-new shiny target in a plaid pleated skirt until I
took her in my arms and claimed her. No one at school had dared touch her
after that. As one of the students who’d been at Xavier since preschool, I’d
had plenty of time over the years to ensure everyone understood that
