Finally, they entered a narrow hall that smelled like a storm, right before the first drops of rain fell. Jensi pointed to a warped wooden door. “Your session’s in there—oh— and be careful—I’d hate you to get zapped on your first day!” “Okay—wait!” she added as his words sank in. “What do you mean, ‘zapped’?” Jensi was already gone. She stared at the door, wondering if he was kidding. This was a school. They wouldn’t allow anything dangerous around the prodigies, would they? She took a deep breath to calm her nerves, squared her shoulders, and pushed the door open. A loud thunderclap shook the floor, and a bolt of lightning shot out of the ceiling, knocking her off her feet.
