Concentrate on a music type or a song and say 'Novo Musica' to change the music." Throughout his little charms lesson, Nate's head never left Jez's and his eyes never opened. He didn't want to open them, though, for fear that Jez would be gone when he did.
Jez was watching Nate all through his explanation, mesmerised by him. Half of her wanted him to open his eyes and look at her, but the other half wanted him to stay just like that. He looked cute like that - Jez could see why he'd had so many girlfriends this year. There was just something about Nate that made you want to be with him. Jez frankly found it hard to concentrate on what he was telling her, but she managed to get the general gist.
"Okay." Jez closed her eyes and thought about it, but before she said the incantation, she warned, "It might come out wrong, I only heard this song once or twice." Actually Jez had listened to it over and over - it had been on a CD that Keegan had sent to her earlier that term, along with the little black radio box Nate had called a 'Walkman'. She thought hard about the song, and said, "Novo Musica." Nothing happened at first; the classical music kept playing, and Jez assumed she'd done something wrong. She was about to try again when the music changed to her
song.
Jez smiled, biting her lip. Would Nate like it or think it was weird?
