GLEE GIRL Excerpt:
Glee Girl (Banshee Myth)
Mythology note: The Banshee of Irish myth was sometimes a hag but often a beautiful woman wearing white, her eyes red, as though she’d been crying. Her wailing keening cry would foretell a death. She often attached herself to families and picked them off one by one. The Banshee wasn’t entirely a creature to be feared: It is said that bad people who heard her cry would die a bad death and suffer thereafter, but good people would die and remain happy in the Celtic version of the afterlife.
The Campbell High canteen walls are crammed floor to ceiling with posters promoting next week’s Battle of the Bands, but I lower my head and focus on my cold fries instead. The problem is that (a) that on a scale of one to appealing my fries register a fat zero and (b) being a lead singer in a band is what I want more than anything in the world, ever ever ever.

What if you thought you were all alone in the world, only to find out you had a secret twin in a hidden colony deep under the red dirt in the middle of nowhere? After her mother dies, Eve is sent to live with a family she never knew, just days before her 16th birthday. The one-horse town is a cover for the Order of the Messenger Angels, but their enemies, The Crusaders, believe they are evil incarnate and won’t stop until the Order is wiped out. What if for all of their aspirations for me, I’m just a girl? A confused girl who just wants to be kissed by the boy she likes and made a grilled cheese sandwich after school by her mom. The simple life.
Instead you find yourself doing the sunrise salutation, a yoga move you’ve never tried before because you thought yoga was for cheerleaders, not bookworms, but as you spread your arms up to the sun and bend into the pose, you do feel something magnificent. You feel the sun’s power, and you try not to think about all the Lunas in your extended family who don’t get to experience this Light anymore.
You think maybe for all the darkness, if you let yourself, you could rise to the occasion. You have hope. And hope feels so much better than hate.
