Nigel stared at me for a few seconds looking as if he really didn’t get what I told him.
“Come on,” I said. “Just trust me.”
Slowly Nigel put his hand in mine. I looked him in the eyes. “Now remember, it’s all in your mind so don’t overthink it, okay?”
He closed his eyes and nodded. Then slowly I pulled him upward holding both his hands.
“That’s it. Just let go …” I said as his body followed me into the air. When we were about three feet above the ground I gently let go of his hands.
“Now open your eyes,” I said.
He looked at me. His eyes seemed scared.
“Now look down.”
“Wow!” he said.
I laughed.
“How did you do that?” he asked.
“I didn’t do anything; you did.”
Our teacher Mr. Grangé joined us in the air.
“Very nice, Meghan, very nice,” he said. “I don’t think I have ever seen one Ru’ach be able to pull another one into air before.”
I felt like I blushed. I hoped that no one could tell.
“I am very glad to see you helping each other,” he continued. Then Mr. Grangé left us to attend some of the other students who had problems learning how to fly lying down.
“Look who’s the teacher’s pet!” It was of course Portia flanked by her friends Mai and Acacia. She sneered. “In love with the teacher, are we?” Portia made kissing sounds with her big red lips. “He is kind of cute, I give you that, but I like them better with their heads on!”
“Leave us alone,” I said.
Portia lifted her nose and snorted again. Then she and her friends soared laughing into the air. I tried not to pay attention to their constant laughing at the others in the class. It was like high school all over again, I thought. And that was one thing I didn’t miss from my life on earth.
After class we went back inside, but no one walked on the ground any longer. We had simply discovered that it was much easier to fly or just float a few feet above the ground. Even Nigel floated, although he stayed as close to the ground as possible.
But he never walked on his feet again and neither did I.
