Chapter 58

“It’s not a waste of time,” I counter, glaring at Jackson. “It’s the assignment.”

“The assignment was to get the marble to do something. If your powers aren’t telekinesis, why would you try to lift it?”

I stare at him, confused. “Well, how do you know my powers aren’t telekinesis?”

He smirks a little. “Because if they were, you’d probably have lifted the marble by now.”

I blink at him, half baffled by his logic and half…well, half persuaded. I turn back to the marble, which hasn’t moved an inch.

“Maybe you’re right,” I murmur. “Tony wasn’t able to move the marble because his magic has nothing to do with lifting marbles.”

“Alvez is just spinning his wheels, having us all take shots in the dark, hoping we turn something up. Next week he’ll have us trying to do something else.”

“Well, that sucks,” I sigh, slumping a little. “I really wanted to make it float.”

There’s a long silence between us as I scowl at the marble, my hand pressed to his, wondering what the hell I’m supposed to do next.

“Wait, really?” Jackson softly asks.

I turn to him, confused.

He stares at me, and despite any efforts to concentrate on the assignment I find myself again a little lost in the dark blue of his eyes. Such a rare color – I lean a little closer, trying to see the details of it.

“You want to float the marble?” Jackson says softly, his hand tightening just incrementally around mine. “That’s what you’d pick, of all the possible magical gifts you could have?”

I turn my head to the side, considering it. “Well, I mean, it wouldn’t be a bad one…” I murmur, and then I smile softly. “But you’re right. I guess that I don’t want to float the

marble.”

He smiles too. “Well then. Mission successfully completed,” Jackson says, turning back to the marble. “A+ on this one, candidate Clark, if that’s the new goal.”

I laugh a little, still studying his face. “What would you pick?” I ask.

He shrugs a little. “Don’t know,” he murmurs, “Never thought about it. You?”
