Mrs. McKay stared directly at Landon, her eyes boring into his. There was a slight pressure as she tried to pierce his defenses, but it was nowhere near as strong as when Josh had attacked him. The pressure faded as Mrs. McKay directed her gaze elsewhere.'Very...good, Landon. You have a very strong mental shield.' The teacher admitted this grudgingly, as if every compliment to Landon was a personal insult to her.

The class stared in awe at the boy in the front row. In the back, girls stared nervously at the mysterious newcomer. The boys glared in jealousy. Mutters began to spread around the class.

'I heard it takes most people at least ten years to perfect it.'

'No way he blocked McGay...that's, like, almost impossible. Dude!'

'Well, but he did beat Josh...'

'What are you all freaking about? That's obviously his ability...'

'Seems a bit excessive of him to have both a mental AND a physical shield.'

'Quiet!' Mrs. McKay slammed her hand down on the desk.

The class shut up. Mrs. McKay glared around the room, daring anyone to compliment the boy who had blocked her.

'Alright! Katie, I want you to concentrate and try to block me.'

Katie stared warily at the teacher, then clenched her fists. She suddenly slumped forward on the table, then jerked back again as Mrs. McKay made eye contact.

'That was...sufficient. Mark, your turn.'

Mark shook his head slightly, turning away so that his profile faced the front. He gave a quiet gasp and gripped the edge of the table hard, until the veins on his hands stood out starkly against his russet skin. The table wobbled slightly, and with a resounding crash, the wood splintered and the table collapsed.

Near the back of the room, the whispers had started again.

'Dude, I just CANNOT wait for the faceoff on Friday. I am SO voting Landon against Leesh.'

'Ten bucks on new kid.'

'Ten bucks on Rivera.'

'Deal.'

YAY! GO LANDON! Yeah, we all know who will win on Friday...or do we?
