Tradition
by Brendan Kiely<P>Prestigious. <br>Powerful. <br>Privileged. <P>This is Fullbrook Academy, an elite prep school where history looms in the leafy branches over its brick walkways. <P>But some traditions upheld in its hallowed halls are profoundly dangerous. <P> Jamie Baxter feels like an imposter at Fullbrook, but the hockey scholarship that got him in has given him a chance to escape his past and fulfill the dreams of his parents and coaches, whose mantra rings in his ears: Don’t disappoint us. <P> Jules Devereux just wants to keep her head down, avoid distractions, and get into the right college, so she can leave Fullbrook and its old-boy social codes behind. She wants freedom, but ex-boyfriends and ex-best friends are determined to keep her in place. <P>When Jamie and Jules meet, they recognize in each other a similar instinct for survival, but at a school where girls in the student handbook are rated by their looks, athletes stack hockey pucks in dorm room windows like notches on a bedpost, and school-sponsored dances push first year girls out into the night with senior boys, the stakes for safe sex, real love, and true friendship couldn’t be higher. <P> As Jules and Jamie’s lives intertwine, and the pressures to play by the rules and remain silent about the school’s secrets intensify, they see Fullbrook for what it really is. <P>That tradition, a word Fullbrook hides behind, can be ugly, even violent. <P>Ultimately, Jules and Jamie are faced with the difficult question: can they stand together against classmates—and an institution—who believe they can do no wrong?

Traição entre Lobisomens
by Vianka Van Bokkem Fabrício Lopes RochaMeus pais e eu pertencíamos ao clã lobisomem de Sergei. Nós morávamos perto da fronteira entre Rússia e Alasca. Quando Sergei, nosso macho alfa , anunciou que estava levando o clã para o Alasca, fiquei confusa. Nosso novo vilarejo parecia o mesmo em que morávamos na Rússia. Alguns meses mais tarde, eu estava à caça de linces, leões da montanha, alces e ursos polares. Uma noite, senti vontade de ir para meu local favorito, próximo ao rio; saí furtivamente da cabana onde meus pais estavam dormindo. Eu me transformei em lobisomem fêmea e comecei a correr em direção ao rio. A neve recém-caída me me fez muito feliz. Meia hora mais tarde, cheguei ao meu destino: uma das minhas árvores prediletas tinha um buraco na parte inferior, e eu guardava roupas de frio ali. Quando terminei de me vestir, eu escalei a árvore e me sentei em um de seus galhos. Caía neve das àrvores à minha volta; o rio estava congelado mas, mesmo assim, eu ainda gostava dele. Um par de coelhos fazia buracos por perto. Eu era meio que uma solitária, e meu comportamento era visto como estranho pelos outros, mas não para mim. De repente, ouvi um vozerio e risadas. Eu avistei uma garota morena fugindo de um grupo de garotos. Ela era extremamente rápida; segundos depois, o aroma de lobisomem fêmea me indicou sua localização.
