19 Their Conflict

In the previous chapter-

We came back home from the amusement park.

"Take this" Jack gave me the kid's toy they won at the amusement park.

"Heh, I thought this was yours" I said.

Jack didn't reply and went straight into his room. I sighed. My bro'd been acting like that since Jack met him.

____________________________________

He didn't throw table at Jack or cursed at Jack, yet Jack was overprotective. Jack took him as my boyfriend.

At first he wasn't sure whether to come to greet us, so he kept staring and Jack noticed. I introduced them to each other but Jack didn't believe when I called Noah "my friend". Well, Jack was one of the reasons I didn't have male friends.

After Noah left, Jack advised me to stay away from him because Jack didn't feel good about this guy. But in this short period of time, I've grown surprisingly protective of Noah. I protested against Jack and called him "unreasonable". He hadn't talked since then.

I didn't regret what I said because I was wrong. It was because if Jack didn't win an argument, he'd stop talking to her and that sucked.

I sighed and laid on my bed. Then a thought hit my head. I could make things move and fly without touching them. Then how about my body? Could I make myself fly?

I sat up straight and looked at my body, bracing myself for flying. Moments passed. Minutes passed. Nothing happened. I've learnt these abilities can't be learnt by trying only once, long ago. So I kept trying.

There had to be an other way for doing that. I looked at the mirror. I didn't really look that bad. Although I never cared too much about my looks, I recieved compliments about my looks quite often. But I always preferred getting compliments on my intelligence.

Wait... What? The situation I was in explained why I suddenly started to feel so light. I was in the air. I didn't even felt any pull from the ground. I carefully started to land, my body felt heavy again. When my heart stopped racing heavily, I tried to look at my body and fly. Shit. Why couldn't I just fly again? Wait... At that time I was looking at the mirror. Hmm. I looked at the mirror again. I relaxed my body and braced myself for flying. It happened. My body started to go up in the air. I could fly... Just like a superheroine!

But I didn't feel any pull towards the ground. Could it be that I was free from gravitational force when I flied?

I wanted to dance. Well that was until... I saw Jack standing in front of me.

Talk about perfect timing.

"Eh erm" I couldn't find any word. Somehow I still managed to say, "H- how long have you been there?" I gulped.

"The whole time" he replied coldly.

"Uh hm what did you see?" His reaction was too indifferent for a guy who saw his sis fly.

"You came out from under your bed" he said.

WHAT? Was he out of his mind? How could he not see that? He was mad at me, meaning he won't try to say some silly jokes and even if he sees me coming out from under my bed he won't roast me. It made sense but... How could he see that? Would it seem that way to others too if I try to fly in front of them? But how? And why?

Days passed. I became able to control this ability properly. When I flied, I became invisible. I couldn't even see my own body. It was weird. But I could control which direction I went to and my speed.

Another thing that I had noticed was that my capabilities increased. Like I could study for 4 hours with deep focus though I could only study for 2 hours with deep focus before. My energy increased. In fact I didn't feel tired after working out for 1 hour. Even my efficiency increased drastically.

Was those all related to...?

I looked through the window. The sky was so big. This sunday was different. My heart was pounding. I started asking myself again and again, "will this be okay?". Yet, for the first time of my life, I didn't act like a coward. I jumped from the window and started to fly, turn and rotate in the sky. I felt free.I flew past people and none noticed.

I returned home two hours later. I was not even tired.

Jack hadn't talked to me properly since that day so I spent majority of my time reading books. I didn't really liked to text or else I'd have texted Holly or Noah.

I slept early, and the nightmare started like this-

I was in a different person's perspective. I didn't know whose it was. I saw all the people gather around me, whispering to each other and waiting for the moment. The moment when... I'd be executed??
