Opal

Opal was fairly busy, making a small pen float in the air. Most people think that- because of her power- that should be easy for her. But no, it was not, because she had to keep changing the gravity ever so slightly to keep it from going to far up or down. Her face was set in a pout and her eyes in deep concentration. She was in her own little bubble- that is, until she heard an overly-energetic "Hiya!" from the room. A smile broke out over her face- she had been wondering when the ever-the-ball-of-energy Lila would show up. Opal let the pen fall over the surface of the desk, back into it's normal weight.

"Hey!" Opal smiled at Lila when she nodded. Ella and Hideaki seemed to be weaving in between her legs, having some sort of conversation. Opal reached down and pulled the animals up by the scruffs of their necks and put them beside her, causing Ella to growl. She had messed up her hair, again, and Ella had spent so much time getting it into the right, perfectly flat, shape. Opal was getting tired of having to avoid trampling the animals, though, so it was okay. She smiled at Hideaki and took two caramel candies out of her book-bag and plopped one in her mouth. She gave Ella the other one, who immediately began to lick at it, never picking it up into her paws. That would be sticky.

When Ella and Hideaki went back to doing whatever they were doing- probably trading stories about the last time their pink-haired child got into trouble (She wasn't paying attention)- Opal turned to the owner of the small black cat. "How was your year?" she whispered quickly.
