Magic doesn't solve everything, but sometimes it can create a solution. Charles Wainscot never expected to be a mage, but when it came with a familiar he thinks it might all be worth it. College, new life, maybe new friends.

Too bad his old life has followed him with the presence of a high school bully. Either way, he'll manage by himself. But when Cori Munroe bursts into his life things get a lot stranger.

Charles will have to decide who he wants to be and exactly how he is going to handle a bully.

This is a short story set in the Twisted Luck universe. This takes place during book 3 Educated Luck.
