The Punkers moved towards us, and Amity and I were forced to back down the steps. When we reached the bottom, they formed a ring around us, all flying just a few inches above the ground. With their shoulders almost touching, they locked us in and began to rotate slowly around us, like a hovering wheel of stupid. Except that they all either had Water Balls or flaming thumbs. Amity and I found ourselves back-to-back like the trapped heroes in the movies always do, except that I knew we didn't have any awesome moves to bust out with. Desegregation has finally come to Magian High. Geniuses, jocks and mages will learn together and build a united society. At least that's what Kincaid Riley, mage senior, hoped when he lobbied for the changes. But old prejudices die hard, and powers behind the school district are determined to see integration fail. Kincaid and his new friends must find something more powerful than magic in order to overcome the past.
