Chapter 1
It was the last year of high School and I didn't know what was going to happen. I hadn't found a boyfriend yet, and all my friends had one and were telling me that I need one before college. Now I knew they just thought that I felt left out but that wasn't true. I had survived my life since I’ve been born and I have never needed a guy before so I didn't think I needed one now. I have had guys asked me out and it was always the same thing, "hey Lily, what are you doing this weekend?" I would use the same thing every time. "I don't know, why?" They would probably say, "I was wondering if you wanted to go out with me?" and then as my usual response I would say, "I don't think I can I have other things to do." This response would always upset them. They always thought that I didn't want them and that I wasn't good enough for any of them. Now it wasn't that it's just I could tell what they wanted. See I had this power, which nobody knew about except my parents. But that was because they had powers too. So when they would ask me if I wanted to go out, I felt their emotions and saw in their mind, it would really say, do you wanna come and have sex with me? This always bugged me. See I had gotten the emotion thing from my mother and the mind reading from my father. All I needed was someone who knew what I was going through, which was no one in this school...for now.
It was mid-may and it was almost time for finals. Well here was the thing, while most of my friends were out having fun and goofing with their boyfriends. So as usual I was studying the one day when I started thinking that maybe I was never going to find someone to be with me like my mom had find my dad. I then heard a really loud car muffler come down the road. I knew that the neighbors had "moved out" and they were the only ones I knew of that had a loud muffler. So I walked downstairs, maybe mom knew. But as I was halfway down the stairs I heard a new voice in the house. I sped up thought maybe there was a burglar or someone and I got to the living room when I saw a new person sitting on the floor across from my parents. Dad had heard me coming and in his head thought its ok, he's the son of the new neighbor. I walked into the living room trying not to hear this guy disturbing thoughts. I just stood in the doorway. I heard my mother say "oh here she is now.
“This new boy said," Hello Lily, my name is Noah Griffin; I'm the new teenager in the neighbor hood." I had said, "Hello nice to meet you. What sch...." Noah had said," I'm going to be going to James Little high School." I just stood there, wondering how he knew what I was going to say. He then continued saying" Do you think I can walk with you to school tomorrow?" I was going to be nice plus I wanted to see if I could get some things out of his mind and find more about him. I said" Sure, I could use someone new to talk to." My mom said, "What happen to Violet, Katherine, and Kelly?" I said, "They all have boyfriends now, they walk with them plus me but they're too busy being all lovey dovey to pay any attention to me." My dad said, "Oh that's too bad." Well it was starting to get late and I had more studying to do so I simply said," Well I’ll see you tomorrow morning then, Noah?" He said,"Yea what time?" I just said," whenever” He said,"OK. And thank you Mr. and Mrs. Sparkle." and he walked out.
I still stood there confused about how he knew what I was going to say. My dad had read my mind and said to me through his mind, maybe he's like us? I responded and said that's not possible. We haven't run into anyone like this in awhile why now? He just said I don't know, but you should get back to your studies. I nodded and walked out of the room.
Once I was in my room again I just sat there trying to figure it out. There was only one person who could know the answer. I picked up the phone and before I could start dialing it rang. I looked at the number, exact person I wanted to talk to. I yelled down stairs, “got it!" And I answered. It was Caroline. I said, “I was just about to call you." She was another one like us, but instead of reading minds or emotions she can see the future.
She said, “I know. Did you forget again?"
I simply said,"Sorta"
She said, “well what do you think of this Noah guy?"
I said, “you could have warned me about him."
She said, “I wasn't sure if you were studying or not."
I said," I was...then I heard a new car and that was it."
"You were wondering if you would find someone like your mom found you dad again weren't you?
"yea didn't think that it was possible” I paused for a moment." like I know I found you but like didn't think that there would be a guy anytime soon"
Caroline gasped and said, “you don't mean?"
"Yea he's one of us but we don't know what he can do."
"Well did anything strange happen?" she thought.
Most of our phone conversations were me talking and her just thinking.
"Well....wait you mean you didn't see what happened?"
“I only see what happens I can't hear you know"
"oh.....yea, well I started asking what school was he going to and before I finished the word school he answered me...if you consider that weird?"
"Oh"
"What?"
"Nothing"
"Tell me"
"Well maybe it's a sign?"
"What kind of sign?"
Now I was starting to get worried. The only other time she had said anything was a sign was when the last time we had run into someone like us and he tried to exterminate us!
"Well Lily, I think that it's kinda odd that you’re sitting there wondering if you'll find someone special and then here comes this guy who..."
"OK I get it. You think that its fate that he just so happen to move in next door yea, yea, yea I get it!"
"Well think about it, there has to be a reason."
"Yea well no matter what I have to walk with him to school tomorrow, do you want me to have him sit with us at lunch?"
"Hold on......"
Great now she's seeing something....what else is gonna happen to my life?
"Well he was going to sit with us anyway so I guess you should just invite him when you’re walking with him."
"Well I have to go. It's already 10:00 and I need to look over my math notes for the mid-term tomorrow!" I lied horribly. That was one thing I was bad at was lying.
"OK, I’ll talk to you tomorrow then."
"Yup, bye."
"Bye."
So that was it. Seemed like it was fate, but who knew, apparently not Caroline. I didn't even bother to study. I could change the mood of my teacher to where I would ace it without taking it. Instead I was going to try and see if my dad had anything on his mind that could help me...he was sleeping so I doubted it.....nothing.
Mom...same thing...nothing
Let's see maybe there is something next door that could help me? Wait, can I reach that far? Never tried it before......might as well.
So I heard the same voice that I had earlier but I knew it wasn't talking. I could reach....and I knew this because I was reading Noah's mind. So I listened...nothing really caught my attention...That's when I heard it! He was thinking about me! But that didn't phase me...cause what person didn't lately! But that's when I heard the words, “I wonder what she's thinking." That's when it happened I saw what I was thinking in his mind! So I switched off reading his mind. Before I heard more that I didn't want to or he tried to communicate with me. I decided that it was time to go to bed and I would talk, or think, about it with dad in the morning.
