"Same! I already claimed the table near the window. Manifesting good vibes only," replied Lucas, dragging chairs with a dramatic sigh.

Miss Ginny raised an eyebrow. She raised her right hand to signal silence. "Bet? Manifesting? What does that mean?" The class giggled. "Miss, 'bet' means 'okay' or 'game!'" Zia explained. "Like, 'I'm in!'"
