people on earth will not see that you are responsible. However, in this school we have a rule that you remain visible at all times. It would be just too chaotic to have everyone going around invisible. So, you are only allowed to practice your invisibility in the practice rooms. Of course, if you try to become invisible outside of the practice rooms, it will not work anyway. Only the professors and directors of this academy are allowed to be invisible so that we can use it in our teaching. And usually only the instructor of the invisibility course, namely me, will be using it while we are here in the Academy. Today, we will go to the practice rooms and practice what you have been studying to see if any of you are ready to become invisible, at least for a short time now.”
Another day of Guardian Angel training was complete. Journey and I walked back to our rooms, freshened up and headed toward the Eatery for our evening meal.
“So, what homework do we have for tonight?” I asked as we took our seats. “I am going to practice my floating, and singing in my room and then go to the practice rooms to practice Thought instillation and Invisibility. How about you guys?”
“That's a lot to do for one night,” said Felix. “I'm going to concentrate on Thought Instillation and Controlling the Elements over at the practice rooms.”
“I'll go with you and we can practice on each other,” said Kevin.
“I'll practice what you are practicing,” Journey said to me, “that way we can use the practice rooms together.”
The next morning, I woke up early as usual, but instead of waking up to my alarm clock, I woke up to a warm glow that was filling our room. Journey smiled mischievously as she looked down at me.
“What are you doing?” I asked, slightly groggy and upset.
Others were also waking up. We had six girls in our room, three sets of bunk beds.
“What's going on?” asked Julie, shading her eyes.
“Yeah, who turned the lights on?” Cami asked from under her sheets.
“I thought I would practice my glowing and see if I could wake everyone up,” Journey laughed.
“Well, you did a fine job of that,” I said as I rubbed my eyes. “But I'm the snooze kind of girl. I like to wake up really gradually, maybe hit the snooze button about three or four times before getting up.”
“Not me,” said Journey. “I'm a morning person and like to wake up instantly. Rise and shine everybody.”
“Wow,” said Emma, rubbing her eyes and sitting up. “I could have slept three more minutes. Now you can expect to be getting payback for this!”
Emma was in the bunk across from me. I knew she loved practical jokes, because I had seen her involved in one earlier. “Just you wait!”
We took our showers, got dressed, and headed to the Eatery for breakfast. I picked up a tray and deliberated this morning's food choices. “I'll have the veggie omelet, whole wheat toast, and some fresh strawberries on the side. Oh, and orange juice to drink, please.”
The server offered me the dish of food and I set it on my tray. She handed me my small bowl of strawberries and cup of orange juice. After our trays were filled, Journey and I proceeded to our table. Felix and Kevin were waiting. After we sat down, I prayed and gave thanks and we began eating. As angels, we prayed before everything we did. It is the way that we talked to God when we were not in His immediate presence.
“We are having an assembly before our first class today in the great hall,” said Felix.
“I wonder what this one is about,” I said while opening the lid of my juice bottle.
“I heard we are watching another movie and practicing a choir number all together with the other levels.” said Kevin, in between gulps of his orange juice.
“This morning I was so rudely awaken by a bright light,” I joked, changing the subject.
“What?” asked Felix.
“Tell him, Journey,” I replied.
“Well, I just decided to practice my glowing skills. And I
