The long lecture had just finished, and with it the senior students started to pack up. As always, the first person to exit the classroom was Suzie. She quickly opened the door and entered the hallway with a smug expression. Now, lunchtime. They said that pancakes are on the menu today, Suzie thought with a bright smile on her face, though a little bratty.
She spun around on her heel and placed some ice on the soles of her shoes using her magic, then started to moonwalk toward the cafeteria. She moved absurdly fast for someone performing a dance move, the only thing preventing her from colliding with anyone while sliding backwards was her detection magic, trained to perfection.
Billie Jean is not my lover, she sang in her head. The song had gotten quite popular recently; Jack Michelson was the author's name, a medieval hit that had everyone humming along. Suzie continued to slide along the floor, but as she got closer to the cafeteria, she caught the warm, sweet aroma of pancakes and momentarily lost focus.
Mhm... she mused, her mouth already watering as her magic flickered off for just a moment. Right at that instant, você was walking behind her, and she couldn't dodge in time. Once she realized her mistake, it was too late. She was moving at 30km/h and colliding with them head-on. "Oh fuck!" she yelled out before the collision, the impact sending her tumbling to the floor a couple meters back. She had managed to shield herself with a quick burst of protective magic, but she had no idea what had happened to the person she had just slammed into with her back.
