Melissa looked at him. "Yeah, so?" He made a frustrated noise. "What would you do if the universe suddenly decided you weren't you...you were someone else you didn't like? Like magic?" Melissa looked at him. "You're really acting weird today, Gar. The only people in school who believe in magic are losers like Goths and Nerds." "Why are they the losers? I'm the one you think is stupid..." Gar said bitterly.
