I was curious to try out the reflection, so I teleported back into the bathroom stall with my reflection just as the bell rang signalling that class was starting.

"Listen," I whispered to the reflection. "Just act naturally. Um… don't let anyone know about magic or… you know that you're not me."

"I'm a perfect copy of you, I know how to act and what to do. Just leave it to me."

"Ok, um... here." I said and gave it my phone. "I'll be with Fletcher so just txt his number if you need to contact me."

"Ok."

"Seriously, just txt if something happens, I'll teleport in and we'll swap places so I can deal with it."

"There will be no need, I have your knowledge and memories so I will deal with any situation the way you would."

"Oh, right… ok well… bye."

I hesitated a moment longer before teleporting away. I stepped out into the sunlight of Italy and saw Fletcher standing there with his ridiculous hair and two dripping ice creams in his hands.

"Are you sure she… it… the reflection will be fine?"

"Definitely" he replied and held out a cone.

I accepted it gratefully, but was still worried. "Do you use a reflection? How do you know so much?"

"I know so much because I'm amazing; I'm your teacher after all."

I rolled my eyes, I seemed to do that a lot around him.

"And no, I don't actually use a reflection, I don't need to, but Valkyrie does, that's how I know about them."

I breathed a sigh of relief; if Valkyrie uses a reflection then they must be fine.

"Ok, I guess it'll be all right then."
"Oh, you relax when I say that Valkyrie uses one, but not when I tell you it's fine."

I laughed, "You get jealous rather easily don't you?"

"I do not." He replied defensively.

"You were jealous of me for being a teleport because you weren't the last one anymore."

"Was not."

"And you were jealous that I'm also an elemental."

"But you're not going to continue with elemental magic are you? You're going to continue being a teleporter?"

"Oh? So now you don't mind being the last of the teleporters?" I said with a smirk.

"What? I never…"

I laughed, "Besides I haven't actually decided yet, I mean, teleporting is amazing but elemental magic is just… also amazing. I mean, it's a tough choice, I don't know."

"Hey no pressure, you don't have to choose for a while now anyway."

"Really?"

"Uh… I don't actually know."
"Thanks, great help." I replied sarcastically. "Anyway, what was it you wanted to do?"

"Huh? Oh, yeah. I remembered this really awesome mountain in Turkey that I thought would be really cool to… what? Why are you laughing?"

"You pulled me out of school, created a copy of me, made me punch myself in the face, all so that you can show me a rock?"

"Well when you put it like that…"
I rolled my eyes. "You are such a dork."

I arrived home and waited in my room for my reflection to return, knowing that Valkyrie used one was comforting but I was still worried.

I jumped up as she, it, the reflection, walked through the door.

"Hi."

"Hello."

"Uh… how was school?"

"There were no incidents. Are you ready to resume your life?"

"Yeah… ok."

The reflection stepped into the mirror and I tapped the glass, the memories from today came flooding into my mind, it was a weird experience.

While I was in Italy, I was also in maths class. I mean, I wasn't but I could remember it. It was all a bit confusing. I sorted through the memories and noticed that Elishia had caught up with me… her, after school, so she could ask about what happened that day with the mugger.

I groaned, and tapped the mirror, then waited for my reflection to step out.

"Why didn't you txt to say that Elishia was asking about that day?"

"There was no need, I handled it the way you would have."

"By telling her the truth!"

"Was that wrong? I left out the part where you used magic."

I hesitated, it was true that she hadn't mentioned magic, just that there was a mugger attacking a lady and that I ran to help.

"Well… no."

"Then what's the problem? There was no reason to lie."

"The only reason I got hurt was because he attacked me, and the only reason he attacked me was because I punched him in the face, and the only reason I did THAT was because… I don't know. Elishia is probably wondering that too."

"You do know why you did it, it was because you had just discovered your abilities and were overconfident."

"I wasn't… shut up."

The reflection shrugged, "I know what you were thinking that day because I have all your memories."

"But I… don't tell me what I think."

"Very well."

"So uh… that was all."

The reflection turned around and stepped back into the mirror, I tapped the glass and suddenly relived the conversation again, from another point of view I could see how crazy I sounded. Why didn't I want her telling Elishia the truth? As long as she didn't mention magic then it's fine.

I let out a sigh of relief and fell onto my bed, I guess the reflection isn't so bad after all.
