"Absolutely not. No way." Alex turned away in a huff. Her eyes felt dry, a little tired, but certainly not 'sleepy.' She was able to think on her own just fine. Jesse was just teasing her.
"Alex, freeze," Jesse's voice echoed in her mind.Without prior thought or warning, Alex's entire body went rigid. Her thoughts disappeared, freezing in their spots.
Jesse approached his friend's still form. With a grin, he snapped his fingers once more.
Alex's eyes blinked several times before they finally focused.
"What was I saying?" Alex's mind felt fuzzy.
"Oh, just that you couldn't be hypnotized."
Alex lowered her gaze, trying to remember. Within a few moments, it clicked.
"Right! There is no way you could ever hypnotize me. Absolutely not. No way."
