Chapter twenty six


The next week passed by rather quickly. Jason and I had more Physical Training lessons. Lee watched us most of the time and occasionally, he'd ask Jason to show him how to do a few random moves. He still hadn't given up on charming me but all his suggestive comments did, was annoy the crap out of me. What was worse was the fact that Jason seemed to prompt him, in hope that I'd fall for him. I didn't really understand why he wanted that to happen. Maybe it was to divert Lee's attention from Lenora but I doubted that. Lenora would never fall for Lee. I mean he was all charming and such but she was like four years older than him and besides, that was just so - not Lenora.


I was still going to the Power Training lessons every night after school. I was starting to get frustrated that my Power was not working, no matter how many times I tried. By now I was a pro at relaxing and freeing my mind but every time I tried to gather and collect the air that I felt was calling to me, pain shot through my head. And I was going to try again tonight.


I sat on one of the sofas near the front entrance going through some of my class notes. Our final exams were in about a month and
I was looking forward to finishing school. It had been a long year and the thought of finishing was heavenly. Cathy was sipping on a cup of coffee and from the smell of it, she like it bitter.


"How's that new kid - what's his name - Lee?" she asked.


"He's fine as far as I know," I said. "I don't know how his Power Training with Lenora is going but he can fight well. Apparently he graduated as a top student from martial arts."


"He was the one I told you I could sense a few weeks ago," she said. "I was surprised he turned out to have such an important Power."


"Why were you surprised?"


"Well his personality doesn't seem to coincide with his Power, that's all." She shrugged. There was a distinguished knock on the front door - a knock followed by a double knock. Cathy got up and went through a few security questions before opening the door. I looked up to see Scott walk in. When he saw me his face went a little blank as if he wasn't expecting me to be here. Then he regained his composure and smiled at me.


"Your shift," said Cathy and placed her mug in the sink, then left.


"Hi Claire," he said and came to sit beside me. I like Scott. He was a nice person and always had a little conversation whenever he saw me.


"You have shifts?" I asked.


"Well yeh, who's going to open the door then." He looked at my notes. "Exams?" he asked as if he knew what it was like.


"In a month," I sighed, collecting them and setting them down on the table. He gently patted my shoulder.


"It will all be over soon," he said and for a moment I thought he was referring to something else. "How are your Power and Physical Training lessons going?"


"Physical training is great. My body can do things I never thought possible," I said happily then scowled, "but my Power is so stuffed up. It's not working. I've tried so many times with Chris and it's just not working."


"It will just take a little while longer," he assured me with a strange smile.


"Yeh," I shrugged, "I guess."



I met Lee that afternoon after dinner. He was leaning against the door of my room. I rolled my eyes and let out a long breath before he said anything.


"Hey babe," he smiled wickedly. "Miss ya."


"I saw you yesterday at Physical Training. I sure don't miss you."


"Why you being so cruel for?" he frowned a little. I had never seen him frown so it took me a little by surprise.


"I want to study Lee," I said. "Do you mind moving?"


"Sure," he said and moved to the side, exposing the handle of the door. He normally tried harder. Maybe he'd given up on me. I reached my hand to open the door but he intercepted it and caught my wrist.


"Damn it Lee, let go," I said harshly.


"Give me a good reason to," he whispered.


"Because if you don't, I'll blast you off with my Power." Not that I could anyway.


"I heard you can't use it yet," he chuckled softly.
