"Ah!!!!!", Maggi shrieked when she noticed that her feet weren't on the ground anymore. 

"Come on Maggi! If you're smart, you wouldn't scream that loud. People might think you're crazy.", I said, but I'm also aware that she's not lying. She's floating two inches above ground. She thinks I did it to her, as if I could do that? I'm not a magician. Anyway, Maggi is my enemy since second grade. I am now in fourth grade. Actually, it is surprising that I survived a year and a half from all her complains that I'm a witch or whatever. She hated me ever since the day I ACCIDENTALLY threw my pudding on her face. She thinks I was meant to do that because even myself couldn't figure out how that pudding smacked directly to her face while I'm ten feet across the cafeteria. That was a year ago, I moved on but she just won't. 

Back to the present. Our teacher barged into the room with a worried look, "What happened?".

"She's a witch! She raised me high up the ground!", Maggi complained pointing to her feet looking surprised that she's standing on solid ground.

"Hey!", I shouted at her.

"Ok, ok. Calm down the two of you. Can someone explain what truly happened?", Ms. Andrews asked.

"I'll do it!", Maggi volunteered. I didn't mind her explaining as long as she tells her the truth.

"I was just telling her that I'm sorry for what happened the last time, but I guess she couldn't accept it so she bad mouthed me and cursed. I felt a sudden difference and when I looked at my feet, I was floating in midair!", she explained. 

"First of all, I don't curse and I don't use bad words. Second, it's not my fault you are above ground. Third, it wasn't that high, it was just 2 inches. And lastly, that isn't what happened.", I complained. 

"Then can you tell me, Miss Vaughn, what really happened?", Ms. Andrews suggested. 

I explained the whole scene and ,surprisingly, Ms. Andrews thought Maggi has a pretty wide imagination.
