Practice Makes Perfect

With some free time, and finally feeling comfortable at school, Dorthy decided it was about time to do some independent practicing. Finding an empty classroom she put a copy of the Webster Dictionary on one of the desks and took a seat four desks away. It was hard enough to move something of that size, and to control its exact movements? Here goes nothing she thought as she concentrated on the large book. In her mind she was reaching out and grabbing the book, lifting it off the desk but nothing happened.

Cursing to herself Dorthy mentally shook it off and settled herself back into the chair letting all of her thoughts turn to the book. Steadying her breathing and reaching out to the book through her mind she felt it lift up. She shut her eyes fighting to get the book to levitate, putting all of her energy to the task. She could feel it lift off the desk and opened her eyes; focusing on the sight before her she heard a thump.

	Dorthy looked over at the door a bit shaken. "Yea. Everythings fine." she said and looked over at the book. It hovered. Dorthy smiled to herself then looked back at the door. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Sylvie reaches up to open the door, then crawls in on all four hands, climbing onto one of the desks. Her wheelchair was still awaiting repairs. "Hi! Dorthy, right? We never got introduced. I'm Sylvie." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Just practicing." Dorthy said. "Granted I have never been able to until about two months ago." She let her thoughts travel briefly to her early teens when she first got her powers. This was quickly met with the memories of her father and his ...... oppinions. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
