Not So Alone

Not So Alone

   Chapter: 1

       Why is this happening? I thought as the fire alarm went off. Running outside with all my classmates, I caught a glimpse of Allare Hamberlin, my secret crush, looking at me. I blushed and looked away quickly, I would give ANYTHING to read her mind right then. Oh wait, I can!

       Ever since my accident, I could do strange things... like reading peoples' mind and starting fires with my mind. Of coarse I didn't mean to start them... I would just start day dreaming about what kind of powers I would discover and start thinking about the ones I do know about.

      'I could have sworn I saw Brady staring at the spot where the fire started.' Allare thought, 'That's silly! Stop thinking he started it!' she scolded herself.

      Oh crap!.... She knows!! I frantically thought of something to change her mind. I sure as heck didn't want anyone to know about the strange things I could do.

      'Maybe he's like me!' Allare thought excitedly. WHAT?! 'No! No one's like me... I'm all alone. I wonder what he's thinking about..." she thought, switching them quickly. So Allare was like him... maybe.

       My classmates were WAY ahead so I ran to catch up. Leaving Allare to her thoughts, which were consumed with her current boyfriend, Josh Calloway.

      I don't understand why she's going out with him, I thought, picking at my Hollister shirt and jacket.

       'ATTENTION STUDENTS!' the voice of our principle came out of the speakers, 'WILL BRADY MATHERS TO THE FRONT OFFICE!' she announced.

       Looking into her mind, I saw that there were men there for me that I knew were no good. Shaking my head, I ran in the opposite direction, toward my car. Just as I neared my car, Allare intercepted me asking, "Where are you going? They just called for you." 

        "Yeah. I got to go home now." I replied, tersely. Going around her I unlocked my car. I'm not the most corrdinated person, did I mention that? So, just my luck, I dropped my keys. I picked them up and jumped in, to be startled by Allare slaming the car door, INSIDE of the car too. "What are you doing?" I asked, confused, I didn't remember inviting her to come. "What does it look like?" she asked, sweetly, "I'm coming with you. Plus I want to talk to you about something." she said, and I looked into her mind for further information. 'I want to know if your like me!' she thought desperetly.

         "Don't bother asking, 'cause I'll answer you right now." I said, nervously, " Yeah, that's the answer."

          "You don't even know what I'm gonna ask!" she said, laughing nervously, "I'm sure this is not a question you'll expect."

         "Your gonna ask me if I'm like you." I stated. "My answer would be yeah. I'm like you."

         She didn't even say a word, before she fainted, right there in my car.
