Chapter 15

Over the course of the first few weeks at Maverick, Whit discovered that she loved being challenged. It never failed that she found the biggest challenges in Mind and Cooperative Learning. Art was still helpful too, as it became an outlet for all of her emotions, many of which revolved around a certain muscular heartthrob. Mona was excited that Whit was starting to enjoy school again, and seemed less stressed when they talked on the phone. Whit tried to call Mona at least every other day, but since it was a dead zone for cell phones, students had to use a phone in the lobby of the dorm. To do that, you had to sign up for a fifteen-minute time slot, and that meant racing downstairs every day before breakfast in hopes of beating the younger girls.

When she spoke with Mona, she didn’t tell her about the dreams or how she cried occasionally at night. She usually focused on things that happened in Mind and Cooperative Learning, since it was exciting. Or boring topics, like all of her other classes which seemed normal, and most of the time she had to force herself to complete the homework.

Cooperative Learning, though, was exhilarating and unpredictable. Sometimes they were given an assignment similar to getting the paperweight, while other classes were spent learning more about the various types of gifts students had. One class required all students to perform one of their gifts for their assigned group. Whit had felt absolutely worthless, as she still couldn’t do anything. She did bring in her dream journal and recounted some of her more interesting dreams, like with Seth and the cross country meet. But her gifts were clearly not as exciting as watching Nolan throw fire around or Thomas, who could use his vampire magnetism to mesmerize people. Bethany showed off her super senses, while Linda was able to hover over the ground because of wings that magically unfolded from her back. Compared to those performances, Whit’s had been a bore. It had been very educational, though, and Whit was enjoying getting to work with the others, especially Nolan.

Mind continued to force Whit outside her comfort zone. There had been a few new developments to her skills. One improvement was sound. Whit wasn’t sure why there was sound all of a sudden, but she thought it was because she wanted there to be. She believed that in the beginning her mind had known she could only handle the vision part, and had blocked the sound. Her mind had been protecting her, or at least that was Whit’s opinion. She felt that as she became more adept at dealing with her skills, they’d continue to improve or expand. Mrs. McFaddin didn’t agree or disagree, just nodded along when Whit expressed this particular belief.

And some dreams had started repeating themselves. Just this week Whit had experienced the dream of being trapped in an enclosed area for the third time. She had also had variations of the warehouse dream, showing different areas and obstacles she had to pass.
