They grabbed me and up I went. My shriek probably could've been heard in England. It certainly brought the basketball coach and the rest of the boys running in the belief that someone was being brutally murdered. I don't think Mrs. Green will be picking me for the squad. ↗

Wenna followed us out. "You've done him some good, Clary, I have to say!

I just don't see the point of not eating cheese. I mean, if God didn't want us to eat cheese, would he have let man invent it? ↗
