Chapter 7
Mind Tricks
I backed away from the boy slowly.
"Is this a prank? Did Merida or Hiccup make you do this?"
"No, this is for real!" He stepped forward. Then, I realized I had backed against the lockers.
"Just stay away!" I accidentally made ice with my feet, and the next events went by very quickly. I slipped on the ice, and when trying to get up, my glove got caught on something on a locker. It came off, and he kept getting closer. Either he was trying to help me, or he was crazy and trying to hurt me. "Stay away!" I shot ice out, without meaning to, and froze some of the lockers. "Oh my god," I was going to get found out. People would go crazy. They would hate me... I curled into a ball on the cold icy floor and cried.
"It's okay," I felt a hand on my shoulder.
"No it's not! Everyone will know!" I yelled through my tears.
"No one is seeing this right now. If someone passed is now, all they would see is an empty hall,"
"Huh?"
"Like I said, it's the voice. As soon as you get back to lunch, I'll probably forget all this,"
"Let's go back then!" He handed me my glove back, which I put on. I was half relieved, but unsure he was telling the truth. Once I got back, would everyone know? I could just imagine it. Going into the cafeteria. No one there. Walking outside, and seeing police outside, guns pointed at me. News reporters, all saying, "It's the freak girl!" Mom and Dad, shaking their heads.
"We told her to keep it in," Anna, crying, to find out her only sibling, a monster-
"We're here," the boy said. Suddenly, he shuddered and then stood still.
"Are you okay?"
"Yeah, now I know you did return that library book you checked out under my name,"
"What?" Then I realized that he, or the voice in his head, had said he would forget. He must be normal now, I thought. The voice not in him anymore. I shuddered. He was like, possessed. "Um, yeah! Glad we got that sorted!" I laughed nervously. Punzie walked over.
"Hey Elsa! You and your friend -" she elbowed me. " are back!" She turned to him. "So, uh..."
"Hans." The boy said.
"Hans, want to come sit with us for the rest of lunch?" He shrugged.
"Sure, why not?" He walked over to our table. Punzie elbowed me again.
"Ow!"
"He's kind of cute! Do you like him?"
"Um, no! The school had problems with the checkout system, that's all," I lied, remembering him talking about the library.
"Okay then," She pulled me towards the table. But even with no one knowing about my powers, and being with my friends, I was still uneasy.
