[ WP ] Humans inherently have magic abilities . And just like other natural human features , they get very awkward during puberty .

The entire classroom broke into laughter, and Simon's jerked up, raising his head off the desk and looking about himself half dazed. Everyone was staring at him, giggling and pointing. 
 
'If you're quite finished daydreaming Simon, could you disperse your illusion and let me get on with teaching the class.' Mrs Halloway demanded tersely. 
 
 Simon glanced up above his head and saw an image floating, hazy in the air above him. The same image that he had been sleepily wishing for a few moments ago. 
 
 Sarah sat at the next table, her ears bright red as she stared pointedly at the wall furthest away from Simon and the gently drifting illusion of the two of them embracing. Simon felt dizzy as he waved his hands above his head, wishing the magic away. The picture blurred and smudged, breaking apart in clouds of coloured smoke. 
 
 Simon kept his gaze held firmly on the table top in front of him for the rest of the lesson, bearing the tittering and snickering comments of his classmates. He glanced at Sarah more than once, and saw her turn away to avoid his eyes every time. He gulped, and closed his eyes, that was it, he'd blown it. 
 
 During the break after class Simon practically ran to the bathroom and locked himself into a stall, keeping an eye on his watch and counting down the minutes till he could return to the relative safety of another lesson. Some other kids passed in and out of the bathroom, but either they did n't know he was there or did n't care, and he survived the free period without being harassed. 
 
 In the next class Martin Scholtz dropped his pencil, and then managed to get himself stuck to the ceiling while he was trying to pick it up, floating higher and higher as he leaned over his desk to try and reach the floor. The classroom was in uproar; and Simon laughed along with them, glancing at Sarah and catching her eye for an instant. Both looked away the moment it happened, but his heart flipped for that brief second. 
 
 Simon entered the next class with a grin on his face as big as everyone elses. He sat at the table next to Sarah, as usual, and turned to ask her to borrow a pencil. She smiled shyly at him and pulled out her pencil case to get one for him.
