' okay ,'
Silas Sincamore was saying as one of the boys made his book do a a triple back flip before making it land back gently on the table top.
He'd said people could feel free to Design the spell how they wanted it but I sure was gonna stick to the little Elijah had tutored me on it was going smoothly ,they went to the front lifted the book how ever it please them and the they kept it back gently .
It was gonna be me at any moment and I started feeling little bit panicked.
Trying to steady myself ,I took deep breaths .
The girl from earlier with the marble green eyes had made the book two loom over the class and go down only after she'd settled back on her seat ,at the same time with her ,without her even uttering a word .
The pen I'd lifted to the air was still there I didn't know how to bring it back down cause I couldn't even see it to begin with .
The girl in front of me stood it was her turn , that meant I'd be the next .
I looked at Elijah hoping he'd read the lines of worry on my face . He did .
*You'll have to use your will to bring the book down ,just think of reversing the first spell .*
His voice in my head gave me a sense of calm and relaxation .
Before I knew it the girl who'd been seated in front of me returned , I was on my feet before I could change my mind .
I walked to the front of the class ,while the young teacher watched my every move critically ,like he was grading the manner in which we carried ourselves around.
I didn't look at any one , I focused on the book ,thinking about what Elijah had said ,I took yet another deep breath .
Readying my self I connected to that power that was so wild in me ,this time it felt like it wanted to engulf me since it'd had its first taste ocompletion. I don't know how I bottled it down but I was sure I hadn't done that on my own ,my eyes locked on Elijah's from across the room he had a strange expression on his face but he nodded for me to ho on with spell.
'Ele..' The teacher cut me off before I could come to completion.
'You seem a little bit tensed Miss... '
'Knight .' I said looking at him slightly annoyed that he'd interrupted me , even though he was good looking , very good looking to say the least .
'Miss Knight, why if I may ask ?'
I honestly didn't know what to say . He seamed to have sensed my unease.
'We'll talk about that later after this class,but first go on with that spell. '
I simply nodded ,focused on the book once more and...here goes nothing.
'Elevar.' The book shot up so fast I barely saw it , almost like it'd disappeared.
I looked up and saw it luckily enough it was still there ,now I had to do as Elijah had instructed and let it settle back down .
I focused on that thought closed my eyes and...when I opened them the book was still high up it hadn't changed it position apparently. I could feel the heavy bored stares I was getting.
'You're too tensed here let me help you .'
I didn't know when he'd approached me but his voice was dangerously close to me I could feel his body heat he placed his finger tips on my shoulder and began to massage.
'You have to relax ,its not a competition. '
His front was pressed against my back,as I tilted my neck backwards .
I'd completely forgotten about the book and what I was supposed to do with it ,equally forgotten about the other people in the room, well....except one .I hadn't realized my eyes had Vern closed till I Silas's hands left me and I heard an "Ouch!" .
My eyes flew open and I blushed profusely as I turned and saw that the book had lunged down on him ,and hit him square on the head .
What the hell had happened I wasn't thinking about the book anymore how had I done that ?
I stood there awkwardly not knowing what to say or do I couldn't explain what had happened .
The spot that had been hit by the book had just began to turn red when he said something not very audible and it seemed to fix it up.
'Well miss Knight you may return to your seat and you will still meet me after class .'
I received many pointed stares as I went to settle down ,so much for not drawing attention.
I could feel heated eyes on me but I chose to ignore them.
It was Elijah's turn , he didn't spare me a glance ,as he strode up front but I noticed all the girls seemed to be drawn to look at him .
Silas seemed uninterested as he was still observing me ,Elijah seemed to have noticed that just as he was saying the spell and .......BOOM!
Before we knew it the book sped up and then exploded with a loud sound ,surprisingly enough it hadn't turned black ,all that was left of it was white and brown powder .
That sure had drawn Silas's attention.
Elijah was watching him now with a rather arrogant smirk on ,like he was taunting him , daring him to do anything whatsoever thing so he could show him how dangerous he was.
I could have cut the tension in the air with a knife ,sliced right through it.
'What on earth was that ?' Silas asked taking a menacing step towards Elijah ,the whole class seemed to take a breath at once , including me this time.
'What on earth was what ?' Elijah asked like he didn't know what Silas was talking about.
'Oh you trying to act tough aren't you ,or should I remind you to whom you are talking to ,perhaps by subjecting to the same spell as you did with the book .'
Every one seemed to dread what would happen to Elijah ,well everyone except himself he had an infuriatingly smug look on.
'Oh you were talking about the spell on the book ?' He said like he'd just realized it.
'You said we should lift it up and bring it down in any way that pleases us didn't you?, And that's exactly what I did .'
Technically he was right he'd lifted the book up and brought it down ,though it wasn't in one piece he'd still done it.
' Besides I didn't penalize any one since I am the last to try out the spell ,but if you find it necessary to punish me , its your choice .' He said shrugging like Silas hadn't just threatened to blow him off .
Just when things seemed to be about to go down hill, there was a funny type of sound, like a scream . I turned around my heart racing people were making noise ,like they hadn't hurt that agonizing scream ,could I have been the only one to hear that ?
'Okay class is dismissed I hope some of you understood the reason for this lesson, adding your personal touch to your magic gives out your signature ,it shows some personality and glimpses of who you are .' Elijah's voice rang out above the noise they were making .' So I want you guys to try out something new and think of ways to define your person through your magic .'
As he spoke I realized that that the scream was surely like a bell to end classes ,that was so not funny it had scared the shit out of me.
'Miss Knight do not forget our little appointment .' he said this time looking pointedly at me.
Holy shit !
I'd completely forgotten ,with that tension from Elijah ,speaking of him, where the hell had he gone to ,he was nowhere to be seen .
Well he couldn't run forever ,we were neighbors after all.
