Ember's Wings

Chapter 5 - The fight & New abilities

So I watched as Jace's face turned red.
"What the fuck is the nerd doing here? Who said he could stay with us?! Go find another place idiot!!" He yelled in the cantina.
Everyone was watching us now.
"Jace.  Calm down. I told him he could stay. And what is your problem with him? He didn't  do anything to you. Don't be a jerk!"
"Ember, he can't stay with us. I don't like him I told you before." He said pushing me aside.
"Jace, come with me!" I said dragging him with me outside. "What's your problem?"
"Well you are obviously hiding something from me. You are not wearing the bracelet I gave you. And now that idiot is staying with us."
"I really don't know what's your problem with Dain."
"Great, now the idiot has a name."
"He always had one Jace."
He seemed real annoyed so I thought of telling him the truth. "Ok I'll show I pressed the button on my bracelet and saw my wings appear. Then looked at me.
"What is that Ember?"
"My wings" I said simply.
"Yeah.  Whatever. I can't keep listening to your lies. We are done." He turned around and went inside. I hid my wings and then left too.
I ran behind him and stopped him as he was picking his things from the table.
"Wait Jace. I'm telling you the truth. "
"You expect me to believe you have wings. And ways with the hair. You know I can't suffer you dying it"
"I'm telling the truth and I didn't choose to dye my hair."
"I don't belittle you. I'm sorry Ember. "
I was angry and I could fell energy coming from my fingerprints. As I was preparing to launch at him a hand stopped me. I could hear Stacey's juice in my ear.
"Calm down. You are sparkling. Really bad. And you are 2 centimeters off the ground Ember. "
I looked down at my legs. Stacey was right. I was sort of floating. I concentrated and got myself on the ground. I looked at Jace and noticed that he no longer seemed to be angry but now he had a concerned look on his face.
"I really think that you should visit a doctor. One think I can tell you for sure. You are crazy. And I'm not telling you this in a good way but in the sick way. Bye Ember!"
He turned around and never looked back as he walked through the cantina.
The exact same day he not only moved out of all our classes that we had together but also blocked me on all sorts of social media and also blocked my number. I had no way of talking to him as he was avoiding me on the halls.
I was desperate to talk to him the first two days but then I realized that I didn't really want us to get back together. I felt guilty but also happy that I wasn't devastated by our break up.
I started to hang out more and more with Dain. We were practically spending almost the hole school time together. When a locker near me and Stacey was emptied by a girl who moved to another town Dain took the chance and moved closer.
Every afternoon Dain was walking me and Stacey home. Stacey was "doing homework" at my house after school. This actually meant that I was forced by her to practice my flight until I was confident enough and no longer had problems. While practicing I once broke a cup of tea. Stacey cut herself in it. That's when I found out I was able to heal or at least I was able to make the recovery time way shorter. I don't know for sure.
One day I was in Art class and I was sitting between Dain and Stacey. Once I finished my drawing I realized there were still 20 more minutes of class. I relaxed and waited for the teacher to come and look at my work. Suddenly an idea hit me, or more actually it was a voice inside my had that gave me the idea.
Why aren't you trying to move an object?
I am bored so why not? I thought to myself.
The teacher passes by and congratulated me. No one was paying attention at me as the teacher started to draw something on the whiteboard in order to explain us our homework.
Soooooo. What should I be moving? I asked myself not waiting for an answer.
Maybe I could move a pen.
I saw a purple pen on Dain's drawing and decided to move it on my drawing.
I concentrated on the image of the pen rolling toward me. I kept doing it but nothing happened.
Ok. Last chance little annoying pen. I said smiling to myself.
I closed my eyes and just saw the was the pen would move, or imagined it. When I opened my eyes, the pen was on my drawing. Wow!
That was amazing I thought.
Now try something bigger. How about moving the teacher's chair.
That should be something. Just as Mr.Crevy was preparing to sit down I imagined the chair move away.
Well the chair didn't move fast enough for the teacher to fall, but he was now sitting only on half of the chair.
The bell rang. We got to our lockers, we got our bags and headed home.
Once in the kitchen, Stacey opened the fridge's door and took out two bowls of strawberries, my favorite food. She put them on the counter and turned to take some whipped cream. I took the opportunity and made one of the bowls fly to the table and put it in front of me. The look on Stacey's face when she saw what I did was one to remember.
"Ember. What was that?"
"Well I just took my bowl."
"Yeah. But you did it without even getting up." She said full of amazement. "Since when can you do that? Why didn't you tell me? What else can you do?"
"Calm down S. I found out today when I dragged a pen on the desk and this is just the 3rd time I do it. It seems just like I can fly or move objects. There was something strange today. It felt like I was talking with someone in my head. Like I could talk with you but in our heads. The voice told me to try to move objects."
"That's really wired. Like there's something normal in all this. Let's try that tomorrow. Now let's focus on moving objects."
After 2 hours of practice I stopped.
"Ok. Enough for today. "
"Ok let's watch a movie. Ok?"
"Yeah sure. "
As we were watching Now You See Me for the4th time I thought about all that happened and about Dain.
"I think I'll tell Dain soon. Tomorrow actually"
"Are you sure he won't do just like Jace. "
"No. I'm not sure about that. But I'm sure I want to tell him. "
"Ok then. Tell him. But I want to be there. "
