Smooth Nutcracker music played on the MP3 player. Forcing myself in the air, in a grand jeté, I leapt, landed, and nearly stumbled. A gasp caught in my lips. I'd never tripped during my practices over the years. Tears prickled in my eyes.

I screwed up. I have to make this right.

I needed the unexpected. I was walking down the long hallway from my room, pretending that I was on my way to the kitchen for a glass of water. Jace was standing by my door, scrolling through his phone but I knew his attention was on me. I slowed, took a deep breath, and prepared for my impromptu performance. Then, with a dramatic flair, I let myself “trip”. I put a little too much spring in my step, exaggerating the slip. I didn’t just stumble, I flailed a little, my hands dangling out.

I walk to the corridor and I have an idea before Koko warns me. “Don’t you dare jump off this railing girl, you haven’t finished your quests the moon goddess gave you !” “I guess you’re right,” I sighed. I try to move back but my leg gets stuck in between it and next thing i know, I’m tumbling in the air

I look back at her when she whispers, “Now what?” I must truly be an evil man because Tru’s hesitation and fear amuse me. Letting out a slight chuckle, I motion my head towards a spot on my back where the spines form an oval shape. This should give Tru a comfortable place to sit and feel secured.

Collected a little dust but not so much since they are in a locker. I was surprised that I still had anything here for me. After strapping in my shoes I walked over to see if the Dj station still worked. To my surprise it did. The lights still worked. I climbed onto the stage imagining things were like they were.

I am not so good at using my magic, so this is the way I practised it. I flicked my fingers and tried to disappear from my bed and bring myself back. The next thing that I do is to freeze all the objects in my place and stop the hour that I mastered a lot. And one magic trick I have difficulty with is to animate and float things in the air. I concentrated to do this magic trick, but suddenly Mia appeared again, which distracted me. "Why do you always do that Mia?" "I'm sorry, I never know." "Hmm… I just sigh and go back to my bed.
