Maria rolled her eyes. I wished she made a mask where I couldn’t see her eyes.
She rose from the ground surrounded by a faint blue haze. "Jersey Devil isn’t even real. Second of all, Jersey Devil, even in the comics, spent seven years training with kung fu masters in China and three years with acrobats from the Cirque de Lune.” She sighed. “Jared, you have trouble just running the track in gym."

I love that last line! LOL
I love the derision, I'm even smarting after that last bit!
Love the voice in this, but shame on her for dampening Jared's hopes! A boy can dream. :)
Oooh, someone found a new girlfriend? Ouch!
