Lisa had been paying attention to the lesson (as best she could when she felt like a bottle of soda that had lost all of its fizz) when she felt a light tap tap on her foot. She looked to her side to find Atlas standing beside her and she offered him a small but grateful smile. Hi friend, she waved, trying to pick up her smile and brighten it. It was a nice, comforting gesture. And she was thankful for it.

The next round of questions, she opted to listen to her peers’ answers.

Before she knew it, they were back to Kamzi talking again about their lesson and she tried her hardest to refocus and take her mind off of the things it shouldnt dwell on. Flying. But flying only reminded her of…..

Snap out of it. Purple loop. No, don’t be dumb, Lisa. Green lights first.

She opted for the easy one and didn’t hesitate as she propelled herself off of the ground and flew after the green lights. All she was thinking about was grabbing a green light, she needed to grab it. That will pushed her to go faster and faster around the track, chasing the lights, and paying little to no attention on whom she passed or whom was falling. She had a point to prove.
