Ch. 8 - Office Hours

Have you ever taken a yoga class led by an instructor that seemed like he got his ideas from a poorly written self help brochure that he found in the dumpster behind a shady rehab center? No? Well let me introduce you to Energies Class.

"I want you to feel your flow," Professor Jordan said with weird hand motions while closing his eyes.

"He wants me to feel my what?!" I whispered harshly to Georgie.

"I could not tell you," Georgie whispered back just as lost.

Energies class was supposed to help us Familiars get in touch with our magic. Once your gene turns you have to master your magic. Siphons need to master the art of using their magic to draw it from others. While Donors must master transferring their magic. Both required knowing how to activate your magic which was different for everyone. Hence, the need to mediate to know yourself.

"Breath in your peace," he took a deep breath and the class followed suit. "and out your force."

What the fuck does that even mean?

"Find your center and get to know it," he guided.

I want what this guy is taking.

"What is it telling you?"

Um hello center? How are you?

My stomach growled loudly and half the class peeked an eye open to glare at me.

"I think my center is telling me it's hungry," I chuckled nervously.

"Valenta I will not tolerate disruptions in my class," he scolded.

"My dude chill, I cannot control the sounds my stomach makes when it's hungry. It's almost lunchtime," I defended.

"That is what I am trying to teach you. Control." He emphasized. "If you cannot control the power inside you then you are but just a rock. Heavy and useless."

"Goals," I smirked.

"So how was Energy class?" Violet sat down with Sebby, Georgie, and me as we shared lunch.

"Professor Jordan spent the last 15 minutes of class arguing with Lucy," Sebby laughed.

"So nothing unusual," Penny set her plate down opposite of Violet.

"Do you know what 'dancing with your chakras to know you bliss' means?" I asked Violet.

"I cannot say that I do," she chuckled.

"My point exactly," I huffed in annoyance and shoved food in my mouth.

"It will make sense one day," Penny assured.

"How high will I have to be?" I laughed.

Penny rolled her eyes while Violet chuckled.

"Well we we have to get going," Violet said.

"Great no one is stopping you," I said before drinking the rest of my water.

"No..." Penny looked at me, "We," she emphasized.

"And we," I emphasized pointing between Sebby, Georgie and I, "Do not care what you two do."

"Three*" Violet corrected with a smile.

"Huh?" I said puzzled.

"Well four," Penny corrected.

"Whatever," Violet rolled her eyes at the witch.
