Celestial

chapter 22

A/N: Ok guys thank you so so so much! I can't believe I have 2k reads! I'M SO HAPPY! Thank you so much! I never would've thought this many people would read my story! It means so much. This will be a fun filled chapter. Or will it. I guess you will have to read to find out.

"Okay pencils up!" Professor Nunes shouted. I sighed in relief. That was the last of my extremely stressful exams. Will had been studying with me three hours a day and I wasn't able to walk anywhere without seeing words from my Celestial History textbook intercepting my vision. My mind wandered over to how Will and Hunter. They said they would meet me in our usual spot for dinner. My shoulders were aching from carrying my heavy backpack all day so I let it levitate behind me.

Lately I've been using my Gift more and more. I open doors, carry people's stuff for them, and when Mrs. Elmer's wedding ring fell down the drain, I thought of it clearly in my mind and it came right back up. I trudged up the stairs to my room. The elevator was broken and so now for the last week of school, we have to use the stairs until it gets fixed. Great way to finish off this already great year.

Note the sarcasm.

When I entered my room, I glanced at my packed up duffels and sighed. I finally found a place to fit in and now I have to leave, especially after things were settling down again. Two more days. Two more days until I board the Hippoplum Metro back to parking lot H of the airport. Back to my parents who I hadn't seen since August. Who were probably wondering why they never received that phone call every week promised by their daughter. I sighed again.

I heard the shrilling sound of the bell. That was it. The official end of the school year. No more classes. No more homework or exams. It was relieving, but also sad because it also meant no more studying with Will and Hunter or dinner out in the gardens where we would talk and laugh at the way Will eats pizza. My stomach growled. And that was the official sign that I was hungry. I headed back downstairs, bumping into lots of people who were also going to get their dinner. I ran out to the gardens where Hunter and Will sat at our usual picnic table already eating their dinner.

"You just couldn't do the polite thing and wait, could you?" I asked.

"Nope," Hunter said, his mouth overflowed with food. I rolled my eyes while Will scowled at Hunter's lack of table manners. I glanced at Will's food then thinking of a plate with the same food on it. Then, a plate of food came floating out the door, a fork and knife following. I beamed proudly.

"Showoff," Hunter mumbled.

"Really? Why don't you try telling two birds to go and bring you a plate of food?" I asked grinning, reminding him of the other day when he made a huge mess while injuring a bird and receiving a stern talking to by the headmistress herself.  WIll laughed while Hunter blushed.

"We agreed not to bring that up," he said irritated and flushed.

"Not gonna happen even if the life of... Spiderman depended on it," Will said smirking. Hunter gasped and Will and I roared with laughter. By the time dinner ended we were clutching our sides and still had a smile on our faces. Hunter was not smiling because he was still deeply offended by the Spiderman reference. These were the times when I wished I wasn't leaving Hippoplum in only two days.

The next day was the end of the year assembly. Everyone needed to be at breakfast by seven o'clock sharp. We were going on a surprise field trip. Everyone crowded into the cafeteria anticipating the surprise. Mr. Elmer wasn't allowed to know because he wasn't trusted with secrets. So he was up next to Milora on his knees begging her to tell him. I scoffed. Not gonna happen. He's such a man child.

Bet you anything it's the mall again, except this time we get to spend, gasp, two-hundred dollars on clothes, Hunter mentally said to me.

Come on. That would just be harsh. I bet we're going somewhere super exciting like-
