will.
    Love spell , she warned herself. Many involved scent.
    Couldn’t be a love spell. Not if Graylee was able to stand there considering it might be a love spell. The Power of Reason: a sure sign that one still had their wits about them.
     Not to mention Nolan was the one who looked uncomfortable. Certainly not the stance Raj McKenna would take.
    Graylee leaned back.
    Raj’s wicked words came back in a rush. You, me, and the world to ourselves .
    No one had ever spoken to her that way. And the tone he’d used. It had sounded older, husky, accented. Full of temptation. We’d make a powerful couple, you and me .
    Graylee resisted the urge to shudder. If she hadn’t turned invisible, Raj McKenna wouldn’t have looked at her twice. And he was wrong. They had nothing in common… well, besides the whole children of witches and warlocks and magical inheritance thing. He was big-time bad news. Opposed to Nolan Knapp. Smart. Cute. Wholesome… Scratch that, wholesome didn’t get a girl’s heart racing. Thoughtful. Thoughtful was sexy.
    No one had ever tried to help her regain her abilities. Unless you counted the peer leaders over the years, and they’d all used the same tactic—trying to push her into it while the class watched.
    “I’m glad I could help.”
    Graylee blinked several times when Nolan spoke. Somewhere in her ponderings she’d lost the thread of their conversation. “Totally,” she replied lamely.
    Nolan broke out into a wide grin.
    Sometimes that was all it took. A smile could be more powerful than the most potent love spell.
    “Want to take a break?” Nolan asked.
    “Heck, no.” Graylee grinned mischievously. She’d always known that if her full powers returned she’d never doubt them again. She’d stretch them to the limits… well, within bounds, and make up for all the time she missed. Graylee looked at the west wall with its dry erase board. “I’m going to move something.”
    “Like the eraser?” Nolan said just before the heavy oak desk lurched forward and screeched along the floorboards. Nolan’s eyes widened.
    Their peer leader looked over.
    Graylee dragged the desk to her, chuckling to herself when Ryan Phillips had to jump out of the way. When the desk stopped a foot away, Graylee leapt forward and levitated the final three feet above the desk. She landed on top as Shay Baxter walked in.
    Graylee crossed her arms over her chest triumphantly. Everyone stared. Shay was unable to hide a tight frown. Graylee saw the disbelief on Miss Perfect’s face, as though she believed Graylee wasn’t capable of excelling at anything.
    Graylee couldn’t help thinking it. Once more she was queen of the classroom.
     
     
    Graylee hopped from foot to foot on the sidewalk in front of her house Monday morning. In Kent, it was either raining or trying to rain. At the moment, it was drizzling. Her breath leaked out in white puffs. The light rain didn’t touch her. She’d erected a shield around her body.
    Thea flashed her lights when she saw Graylee by the side of the road. Graylee waved and walked around to the passenger’s side. “Good morning,” Graylee said cheerfully.
    Thea nodded at the Beetle parked in the drive. “Is your sister staying home today?”
    Graylee looked over her shoulder. “She hasn’t left her room yet.”
    “I take it you’ve been on suicide watch all weekend?”
    “More like criminal watch. Charlene wants Stacey’s heart on a plate.”
    “So she’s still not over the whole Blake dumping her thing?”
    “Ha.”
    Brittany and Kiki were standing in the middle of D Hall when Graylee and Thea entered the building. “Mind if we go the other way?” Graylee asked. “I don’t feel like dealing with the brat pack this morning.”
    “I hear you,” Thea answered.
    She accompanied Graylee to her locker. Thea was in the middle of telling Graylee about her trip to the assisted living center to visit her grandmother when Graylee felt a light kick against her
