This is from the very beginning of a young adult metaphysical romance titled Tryad
~~~~~
"Kaylee Marin Stephens! Get down from there!" my mother hissed, standing in that pose mothers the world over had perfected. Feet spread more than shoulder-width apart, partially bent forward, with her hands on her abundant hips, Mom looked more like a general berating her troops than a mother trying to get her daughter down from the roof.
With a loud sigh, I closed my eyes and imagined myself standing in front of her. The moment my toes sunk into the grass, she hissed again. "Go to your room. When your father comes home, I'm going to send him up to deal with you. Just because they taught you that you could do anything does not mean you should levitate anywhere you please."

Tryad
Book One, The Tryad Series
Kaylee thought learning energy work was fun, especially as it got her from here to there with barely a thought. Back from energy camp for her junior year in high school, her carefree use of energy is noted by two new teenagers in town: Heath and Vane. Annoyed at and attracted to them at the same time, she doesn't expect to find out the three of them are part of a Tryad, wherein when all three energies combine it is postulated that nothing can stop them from doing anything they want.
The more the three of them interact, the more intense their energy. When a man intent on controlling them attacks, they flee to train together. Until he kidnaps Kaylee’s parents. With no time to prepare, Heath, Vane, and Kaylee must face this man and try to rescue her parents before it’s too late.
Ha, love that last line : )
