Nal had to leave. She had dance class. Soon after she leaves I decide to go out to get food. I walk into a forest to make sure no one is near. I scan over my surroundings and kick my legs up to start floating. As soon as I'm off the ground I close the distance between my arms, legs, and body. I shoot upward and over the trees. I peer around once more and begin to float farther into the forest. I turn and begin floating closer to the restaurants but don't leave forest. I spot a new restaurant and peek inside. No one I know is there so I walk inside. Now that people are able to see me I have to be careful who I talk to. I realize that they might've heard what happened to me so I dart home and run to the bathroom. I grab a pair of scissors and begin slicing through my hair. Chunks of hair fall to the ground and I race to the bottom of the steps grab a hat and continue toward the restaurant. I step inside and avoid eye contact the best I can. "Table for one please." I say shyly. She doesn't notice and politely ushers me to a one person table. I sit down and she smiles politely and says. "What would you like to drank miss?"
"I'm actually going to order with my drink please." She nods and I scan the menu and within seconds I find what I'm looking for. "May I have the penne pasta and a cherry Pepsi please."
"Right away miss."
"Thank you." I respond.***
After I pay for my meal I am about to stand but before I can a strong hand is placed on my shoulder and I am pulled to my feet. My heart stops as I gape at the last person I want to see. They grab my wrist and drag me outside. I Yelp but no one is around to hear. My mouth is covered and my nose is plugged. I see black dots swarm around me and then everything goes black.
