Bishop to Knight One (Diviner’s Game #1)

Deejay

Somehow a whole week passes without talking about the thing going on between us. Matt might have been actively avoiding being alone with me—I did the same thing—but also, it was just a busy week. Besides everything already on my schedule, Alex and Eren both started teething again, and Jasper got into a fight in school with one of his classmates because the boy who’d been his friend all year was tired of Jasper talking about Cary. Plus, no one can find the Chaos Eater nor the person targeting Matt. It’s just sort of been a nightmare week on top of the stress of the looming conversation with Matt.

Oh! And there’s the matter of Robbie’s species.

Yesterday I got a call from Robbie’s Humanities teacher, a man whose name I recognize because he holds the title of the most powerful Diviner in the US. I didn’t even know he worked at the high school. Chanda Marduke, known by the title Chanda Ntu Waamelika Muajamu, implied that he knows what species Robbie is, but our conversation was cut short before he could tell me. He promised to call back, but when I went to bed last night, my phone had died at some point, so I woke up to a voicemail from his teacher telling me he would call today.
