- - - - "Because I had no reason to think I would get
        it!"
  - - - don't mean to lecture. You can
        
        laugh and say I'm a silly girl, but when I see anyone big pick on someone small,
        
        well, there's going to be a fight." She looked at Neal. "Joren and his friends are
        
        out there looking for someone to hurt. I want to stop them."
  - - - The next night, when Kel stood to go through the halls, Neal closed his book and
        
        stood with her. Faleron hesitated, then got to his feet, as did Merric. Seaver was
