Kelley Armstrong Quote
If we want clues, we need to look at the extracurricular activities they pushed at us. Clearly, with Daniel and me, they were trying to boost our natural talents: fighting for him and running for me. Serena, Hayley, and Nicole were all in the choir and on the swim team. Plus they’re all blonde and pretty.Um, thanks, Hayley said as she came over. But what… Her brow furrowed. You think we’re mermaids?Isn’t that sirens? Corey said. Those chicks we studied in Greek mythology. Lured guys to their deaths by singing.Hayley glared at him. I thought you liked my singing.Yeah, because apparently it’s magical. That’s how you seduce guys.Seduce them? Or kill them?Same thing, kind of, if you think about it. Like that other guy in mythology. The one who got his hair cut and lost all his power. Mr. Parks said it symbolized men losing their power by falling for women.No, I said. Mr. Parks said it symbolizes men’s fear of losing their power to women. And unless I’m remembering it wrong, mermaids don’t sing and sirens don’t swim.Ariel sang in , Corey said.Sam came over to join us. Do I even want to know why you remember her name?
