Staying in shape

Leila opened a water bottle and took a big swig before sitting down and taking a break from training.

Wendall came running from the wall, letting out a small giggle until he fell on his face, his leg still in the wall. He glanced at his foot, letting out a moan. "Not again!" He closed his eyes and carefully pulled his foot from the wall, letting out a sigh. "I hate when that happens..."

Leila looked up at him, curious. Did he just...walk through that wall!?

Wendall stood up, testing his leg that had gotten stuck in the wall. Then he noticed Leila and he waved his hand, a huge grin on his face. "Hi! My name is Wendall! How about you?" he quickly said as he walked over, his blue eyes wide with joy.

Leila smiles brightly and pushed some of her hair out of her face. "I-I'm Leila. Sorry for being so forward, but...did you just walk through that wall?"

Wendall frowned, letting out a sad sigh. "I-I scared you didn't I? I hate when I scared people...but...uh, yea. My gift is walking though walls, even thought sometimes I just ram into the wall or get my hand or foot stuck in the wall...sometimes I even sink though the ground. I-I'm really sorry if I scared you, Miss Leila!"

Leila laughed softly. "No, not at all! I was just surprised! I've never seen anything like it! It's a very impressive power." Leila suddenly wished she looked better when she met him. She was sweaty and not in her Goth gear, just a tank top and sweatpants...

Wendall's eyes lit up, and he smiled widely. "Oh, good! Oh, and uh, thank you. My power is fun thought, being able to walk though walls. I do really hate it when I scare people, so I am very happy that I didn't scare you!"

Leila just waved a hand. "I'm only scared of strangers, really. You don't have to worry about scaring me so much now that I know you!"

"Oh, good! Then we can be friends? Anyways, what is your powers? It is cool! I bet it is cool!" Wendall said, bouncing up and down. For a 13 year old, he had a lot of energy.

Leila smiled brightly. "Of course we can be friends! Uh...but...I hope my power doesn't scare you at all!"

Wendall left out a huff, crossing his arms. "I've been randomly sinking into the ground for as long as I can remember. I am pretty sure that nothing will scare me." As soon as he said that, he suddenly let out a gasp as he suddenly disappeared into the floor, only to pulled himself from it a moment later. "See, I do that a lot!"

Leila avoided eye contact and looked at her sneaker-covered feet. "I can manipulate the dead."
