me and burst into a grin. “AMY!”
     
    She hurtled herself through the lineup, dropping her bag and throwing her arms around me. I couldn’t believe that she was actually here, that we were actually separated only by air molecules rather than computer screens and an ocean.
     
    “You’re here!”
     
    “I am!” She finally pulled off me. “Oh my God, you’re beautiful in person.”
     
    “So are you!” I said, and then nodded to her bag. “You should probably pick that up. Unattended baggage in the airport and all.”
     
    “Right!” She turned back to grab it, giving me the view of the back of her outfit. It was mesh black over black, revealing a top covered by ripped nylon. Only Sarah would have the courage to wear something like that, and she looked absolutely fantastic in it. “So, where are we going? Do you have a car? Is Liam here?”
     
    “Um, to school, no and no,” I answered all of her questions at once. “I was just planning on taking a cab.”
     
    “Liam doesn’t send you in a limo?” she teased me as we made our way towards the exit.
     
    I laughed. “Liam doesn’t even own a limo.”
     
    “What about you? You’re a big superstar now! You should have your own limo.”
     
    “Hardly.” I shook my head, grinning at her as I raised my arms to hail a cab. One pulled up on the curb, and Sarah and I tumbled in. I gave directions to the driver and then settled back.
     
    “How was your flight? Everything ok?”
     
    “Fine. I met a cute boy on it, and I told him everything about my life.”
     
    “And what did he say?”
     
    “He said I was weird and ignored me for the next 5 hours.”
     
    I laughed. Sarah never cared what other people thought of her, and I was sure that was what made her so successful as an actor. She had a confidence I never had. She never second -guessed herself, or made a plan B, C and D. If she wanted something, she went for it, like she deserved it, and it worked well for her.
     
    I pointed out a few landmarks as we got closer to the school . I promised to take her on a tour of the best places to eat and shop once we were settled in. When the cab pulled up in front of Leopard Academy, we got out, holding an arm over our heads to try and stop the light rain from soaking us through. Inside, Sarah looked around in awe.
     
    “Wow. It’s also more beautiful in person. Where’s Liam?”
     
    “You’ll meet him later. And also, you’ve seen this before,” I said, steering her down the right hallway to the dorms. “Remember? That night I took you on a webcam tour and we stumbled upon Liam?”
     
    “Right. The beginning of your torrid love affair,” she teased me.
     
    I rolled my eyes. “Sure, you could say that.”
     
    “It does look different though.”
     
    “Well, that door has been repainted,” I pointed out, and then, on a whim, twisted the knob. It opened and we both stuck our heads inside the Red Theater.
     
    “This is where we did Beauty and the Beast. This is where it all went down.”
     
    Of course, I had told Sarah everything. There were three late night calls in a row, the first two with her sitting there bewildered, asking if I was on drugs. But by the third call, when I was in tears, after Porsche’s death, she finally believed me. Vampires, witches, Shields and werewolves all existed, even if we didn’t want them to. I thought Sarah was brave for still applying, despite it all. But looking at her, with her piercings and jet black hair, maybe she thought she would fit right in to this evil world that was brewing in Leopard Academy.
     
    We were almost at the dorms when I stopped, patting my pockets in disbelief.
     
    “A h, no,” I said, shaking my head. “I think you might get your wish to meet Liam sooner rather than later.”
     
    “Why?” Her eyes lit up.
     
    “Because I seem to have lost your room key. We could go to the Don, but they would just call Liam anyway since he has the spares. Come on.”
     
    “Can I leave
