"Now show where that book is." Art managed to hop up without injury. The only damage was to his now unruly hair. The look was similar to a mad scientist, but Art didn't seem to care too much at all.
"What book?" Asher's flat response made Art's mood drop.
"The one on powers that control specific tals…"
"Oh that one. No idea, I put it away randomly so that you could only find it after you finished your journal entry. I might rember where I put it, I might not."
"Not cool bro, not cool" Art returned to his seat dejected. His pen slowly wrote each letter while grumbling about Asher being an and not at all a bro.
"Find anything on a power like mine?" Jane had decided to take a break from her math after Art's loud show of falling from his chair.
"Yes, there are actually, a bunch of volus on powers similar to Greek mythology. This one about Hercules ntions an encounter with dusa. I have no idea if it will help but maybe there is sothing useful." Jane looked up at the book he was pointing to on a shelf above her head.
The green hardcover book was barely out of reach as she tried to stand and stretch to her tippy toes. "Co onnnn just get In My Han-" Her annoyed words ca to a sudden stop and she slipped forward.
Asher had initially expected this to happen and was already prepared for the possibility of a fall. His hands reached out and cradled Jane in them while the green hardcover book bounced off his own head.
"Are you alright?" His no flinching attitude after the book bounce off of him made Jane swoon. She couldn't find any words for the situation and just tried to steady herself again. She tried to bend down and pick up the book but Asher's hand snagged it before she did. "Here's the book I was talking about. Try to be careful, I would hate to see you fall."
'I was so cool there. That was the perfect move. I'm so glad dad watched so many old school movies.' While Asher complinted himself on how smooth he had just been there were different thoughts flowing through Jane's mind.
'I want to fall again. Catch a thousand tis!' Naturally Asher's smooth cliche had worked and all thanks to a high bookshelf and a little focus. If he hadn't noticed the possibility of this happening then it could have been a disaster with a trip to the nurses office. '
'I definitely have a bruise forming but it was totally worth it." While he feigned scratching his head he rubbed his sore head hoping that no one would be able to tell that he had a large bump growing.
"You two are so gross, get a room." Art's general response made Asher and Jane respond with equal taunts about him getting to work on his ho work. However before they could really get in to their usual skit the bell rang calling them to the last class of the day.
Asher rushed to check out two books on probability and fortune telling while Jane rushed ahead to her own class. Naturally Art was as excited as ever to escape the journal entry that he had been working on. If he had taken even another five minutes he could have been done with it.
With his eyes on room 777 Asher prepared to fight through the incense smoke that was sure to be filling the room when he opened the door. 'Hold your breath and it will all be fine.' He took a deep breath and pushed the door open, however instead of seeing and hearing a disturbed Lin, he found a perfectly clear classroom that already slled like incense.
"Looks like you expected much worse." Line casually walked up behind Asher who was looking for the usual smoke. "I got a water based vaporizer. The sa sll that the incense has is dissolved in an herbal mix for the vaporizer. Then it slls up the room just the sa without all of the smoke. Much better for us, and safer!" As she spoke she gave a look at mada Weaver who did not even flinch.
Madam Weaver was sitting at her desk looking deeply in to the crystal ball which was dancing with lights from the clear window. Since the window was normally obscured by incense smoke this was a rare occasion. The lights were showing her many different auras that reflected in from the outside. They were captivating.
"See anything we should take note of?" Asher knew that he could be inviting trouble if he was going to ask this, but he wanted to try and learn sothing new instead of just hanging out and ditating on his power.
"I see many things as a child. The strongest right now is the looking fog coming in tomorrow. Many will be lost to their own minds and full of stress." Her words seed ominous but Lin quickly interjected.
"Well with the senior quarterly academic tests starting tomorrow it would only make sense." Madam Weaver looked deflated after Lin explained it that way.
"Lin, you really need to take an acting class so you can understand when a little extra sothing is needed." This was the polite way for her to say that Lin had just ruined the atmosphere. "Asher, you look like you are hungry, what has gotten you so motivated? Your aura is bright and spreading out much more than usual."
"Well, I'm not sure about my aura spreading out but I did have class in the library today. I started reading books on super powers so i can rember what they do and possible weaknesses. If I am going to be a hero, I can't rely on tools to do all the work for ."
"Really, you went to the library? What shelf did you start on? What is the book na you started to read? If I have read it I can pass you my notes!" Lin beca very excited. Asher seed to have found the thing she loved most.
