In point of fact, she had nearly nodded off sitting straight up when the Professor called her name.
“Pardon?” she asked, instantly awake. The Half Light Healings class had not been her first pick, but both Welsh Faerie Magic and Creature Magic classes had been full up and so the current class she was in had been a default choice.
The elderly and bespectacled Professor looked at her skeptically over the rims of his square, silver wire spectacles.
“I was wondering if you could enlighten the class as to what magical qualities a Dryad possesses,” the Professor intoned.
Moni immediately colored, feeling embarrassed that she hadn’t been paying attention. She actually had found that she liked that particular professor, Professor Weasel, almost instantly. He seemed to have a keen sense of fashion, as his robewas a green color that seemed nearly phosphorescent, and the stars either printed or embroidered on it seemed to twinkle as he moved across the front of the classroom, pacing as he lectured.
“Female Dryads may possess several qualities, but one of the most pronounced is the ability to heal both plants and humans,” she recited from memory.
“Ah, very good,” Professor Weasel commented, beginning to pace again. “And what of male Dryads then?” he questioned. “What sort of magical proclivities do they possess?”
“There aren’t anymaledryads, for Dryads are daughters of the River God,” Moni was quick to answer.
“Yes, that is correct!” the Professor said immediately after Moni responded.
At that point, blessedly as far as Moni was concerned, the bells signaling the end of the class period sounded, echoing throughout the arched stone halls with a vibration that Moni could feel from the souls of her feet upward.
She slid out of her desk, shoving her texts for the class inside her embossed leather backpack and was startled when she looked up and the Professor was standing over her.
“Witch Crockett, I had some questions I wanted to ask you,” he told her. “Do you happen to have a few minutes to spare?
I would very much appreciate it!”
Moni had been planning to skip lunch in favor of a power nap after her first two morning classes, but as soon as she hit the door of the room she shared with Broody and Shady, she realized that was not going to happen.
All three of them, Shady, Broody, and Luca, were there, passing a blunt between them through the air without stirringfrom their seats. Broody and Shady were sitting on Shady’s bed, and Luca had pulled up one of the comfortable desk chairs to sit close by.
Moni looked up and noticed that someone, probably Shady, had opened up a fan portal to suck up the aromatic fumes of the marijuana cigarette so that it didn’t suffuse the room.
All three of them were staring at her.
“Ganja break!” Broody said cheerfully. “You want?”
Before Moni could shake her head, the joint, which had been heading peacefully through the air toward Luca, made an abrupt fourty-five degree turn and was heading toward her as she stood just inside the door.
“Thanks,” she said, toking on it for a few seconds, inhaling the rich smoke, and then sending it back toward Luca, who looked slightly miffed at having missed a turn.
Shady looked at Moni.
“Elephants,” she said. At Moni’s perplexed expression. As she hopped up and retrieved another desk chair and patted the seat to invite Moni to join the trio, she added, “I’m sure you have some questions about last night, and we’re all here, so feel free to ask away. We promise to answer with absolute candor!”
Moni gulped. Shehadbeen wondering about the night before, aware that she’d been slizzered and not completely sure exactly how it had all played out.
In the light of day, it seemed like some sort of witchy horny coed wet dream, not unlike some of the ones she’d come up with herself when masturbating. It would be nice to know if what she recalled in flashes had taken place, but she found her usually outspoken self tongue tied with three pairs of inquisitive eyes on her.
“I guess I was wondering what happened last night,” she began. “I don’t have amnesia or anything but I was pretty buzzed and I’m pretty sure at some point we were all naked?”
“We sure were!” Broody enthused. Shady smacked his arm immediately.
Broody gave Shady a baleful look, saying, “Hey, Sis, that’s mycastingarm, take it easy, would you?” And then in Moni’s direction as he rubbed at the injured arm, he commented, “I apologize, my little sister has some violent tendencies!”
Shady glared at him and then said to Moni, “Thisis why everyone assumes that I am the older sibling! And to answer your question, it is likely that everything you remember of last night happened, just as it was meant to. It wasn’t anything we planned… and you shouldn’t feel weird or awkward about it. Broody and I sort of knew something was in the air when you first showed up at the door to our room, Moni… Do you believe in destiny? Or fate?”
“To an extent,” Moni replied honestly. “Although, I like to think we make our own destiny, ultimately, I think some things, some synchronicities, are hard to explain.”
“Well, what happened between all of us last night, I think was meant to happen and I want you to consider it as more than a random orgiastic hook up times four?—”
