With James on her back, she'd taken to the skies. The soaring feeling in her chest was enhanced by the weightless feeling of flight as she climbed, dipped, and leveled out into a slow, wide circle around the school's grounds.

James chuckled when her wings popped out, he always loved them. Then she pulled him away, toward the exist, he knew what was coming, something he always enjoyed doing with her.
