Beastly: Lindy's Diary (11 page)

me.

“The old Kyle would have made his life miserable,” Adrian said when I mentioned it to him. “Don’t

remind me about that guy.”

“There was always some good, deep inside him.”

“Yeah, real deep. So deep you’d need an archeologist to find it.”

“I saw the good in you,” I said.

“You see the good in everyone. That’s what I love about you.”

I said, “I love you, too.” And I did.

The person I don’t see at Tuttle anymore is Kendra. No surprise, really. What I found out about her was,

she was the witch who turned Kyle into a beast. Because he was apparently such a jerk to her at the dance (and in general), she placed a curse on him, and someone had to kiss him to end it. I did. Oh, and after it was all over, she transformed into a crow and flew away.

Yes, you read that right.

But the weird thing is, once I knew Kendra was a witch, I started thinking about all those dreams I’d had about her.

Like, were they really dreams?

Or was she there, in person, trying to help Adrian and me get together?

Another thing she did with her magic was, she gave Will his sight back.

Will is a teacher at Tuttle. Adrian and I still live with him in the brownstone in Brooklyn (which was,

btw, the one I saw that day). Adrian told his father it was because it wasn’t worth the effort of moving

back in with him, just for one year of school, but we all knew that wasn’t the whole story.

And my dad? I haven’t seen him, not since he left that last time. Adrian doesn’t have the mirror anymore, so I can’t even spy on him that way. It’s probably better. I’ve realized that, sometimes, you have to let people go.

But I’m really glad I have someone to hold on to.
