"Sophie, what was in that Mallowmelt?" Fitz asked, clutching his stomach, 

"What do you mean?"Sophie asked innocently. "Oh, you mean the..." 

"Don't do that Sophie, just tell me" Fitz said looking her in the eyes. 

Sophie met his eyes, winked, and stood up holding her crystal to the light, 

"Actually Grady and Edaline want me home by dinner tonight." she said looking over her shoulder, "guess I'll tell you later." before she leaped home. She hurried inside, running into Ruy.

"What," she said crossing her arms and tapping her foot. 

"Gisela wants to train you and her son, starting Monday. I'll leap you there," he said

"And if I can't?" she asked raising an eyebrow.

"Oh, you will be there." He said before leaping away. Sophie walked up to her room with a smile careful to avoid the trap she had rigged to protect against Grady's payback, she was waiting for someone to call her asking what was wrong with Fitz. But there was no way she was going to tell Fitz that she had given him laxatives.

Sophie ran her fingers through her hair it was Monday, and Fitz thankfully was able to find an elixir to stop the laxatives. She slid her mask on and pulled up her hood and leaped to school using her bead. She went to her tent and sat down in the back like usual. 

A shadow grew by her,

"Meet us at the end of the day." a wispy voice said. Sophie looked at the shade and nodded. Coach Bora walked in,

"Hunger suppression," she said sitting down on her mat. Sophie sat there distracting herself when she noticed Ruy was next to her. 

"You can tell Gisela, that I won't be there today," she whispered into his head. 

"No, you can," he said sliding a knife out of his boot. 

"Is that a threat or a challenge?" Sophie said. She watched him shrug and she rolled her eyes severing their connection. 

It was lunchtime and time to practice Levitating. Sophie sat down and ate some random fruit. Ruy came up to her. 

He got really close, placing the knife flat against her arm, and looked at her. "You sure you want me to tell Gisela you can't make it?" he asked raising an eyebrow.  

She grinned at him, narrowing her brown eyes. "Yes, what are you going to do about it," she whispered. 

"This," he said grabbing her hand, he slid the blade across it. 

"To bad for you I have a high pain tolerance," she said as she hid her hand behind her back she stood and went back to the tent.

She walked up to the Hydrokinetic and Shade, 

"Where do we wanna go to chat?" she asked

"We can meet where we stay," the hydrokinetic said. Sophie nodded and held hands with the shade as they leaped to a forest.
