A Webnovel Original: Truth Finder

Chapter Two: Still The Beginning

I hate how my parents do that to Jace, compare them to me. It's not fair. I get that I have this amazing ability that gives me an advantage, but Jace is a college student at Crimson University, a very elite school. They had to study everyday and every night just to get their gpa up enough so they could even be accepted. I don't even get why jace is majoring in science, it is not what they're interested in at all. "I don't know, I guess I just..." said Jace. "Just what??" Asked my mother. I held back my answer that my brain had given, it's not my place to tell them why Jace is having trouble with science. "I don't know." Said Jace. That's gladly where the discussion ended. Later in mine and Jace's room, "Jace, why are you even majoring in science? You don't like that class at all!" I said. "You know I can't switch my major, mom and dad would disapprove, since they're scientists they think I want to be one as well. I don't want to disappoint them Tal." They said. Jace has expressed to me multiple times that they have a greater desire for acting, and they're really talented at it as well. I just don't understand why they don't just follow they're heart. "Mom and Dad want me to be a scientist, but you don't see me even considering it." I said. "I want to help the world using my abilities, people deserve to know the truth about everything, Jace, that's what intend to do." Jace is the only person in my family who knows about my abilities. "I know, but you know I can't tell them that, they'd probably disown me." They said.

Unfortunately they were right. It seems as if it's my parents dream to have a long line of scientists, no matter if their children want to be one or not. They think we both want to be scientists, only one of us is giving in to that. "I'm not sure were I'd even begin with my goal. Helping the world find out the truth, things I don't even know myself, where would I start?" I asked. "You could maybe try telling people on social media to ask you questions, maybe you'd get something there?" Jace offered. I had never even thought of that . It might work. "Huh, I've never thought of that before. It might just work." I said. I started thinking of what I might get asked, or if people would even believe me. Who knows, they might all just think I'm a crazy lunatic, or worse, a liar. It's not like I have a massive following either, I only have 99 followers combining all of my social media accounts together. Lets say it does end up working, where would I go from there?? People would have to be really trusting and stupid to even believe me if I did tell people that I had these powers without even showing them at all. Unfortunately they were right.

At this point I highly doubt that anyone would believe me, unless I told them to ask me something about themselves. That's it! I tell them to ask me questions about themselves, and that the answers should not be easily found on their account!!! That's how I'd get them to believe me! I couldn't wait to tell my friends the idea the next day!!!

"Ok, so let me get this straight, you think in order to become a superhero with your powers, you'll ask people on social media to ask you questions?" Asked Gene in disbelief. "Yes" I replied. "And you think that they'll believe you??" They asked. "If they ask me questions about themselves in which the answers cannot be found anywhere on social media." I said. "You think that with the following you have that this would actually gain traction?" They asked. "I know it will." I said without hesitation. "Talia, that sounds unbelievable, but with your powers, and how you just answered my question, I won't doubt that it'll work." Gene said. "But how long will it take to gain traction?" "One hour exactly after the post." I said. "Ok." Said Gene. Just then, Aaron and Derek had just walked up. "Dude, did you see that episode of the bachelor last night?" Derek asked. "To be honest Derek, I don't really watch that show, pointless drama, not my thing." Said Aaron. "I respect that. Let me just say though, I think Gabe and Brielle should totally be together, the chemistry between them is immaculate." Said Derek. Derek watches the Bachelor or Bachelorette every chance he gets, I do agree that Is just chalk full of pointless drama, but hey, he loves the show, and there is nothing wrong with that, I offered to tell him who Brielle, or the other Bachelors or Bachelorettes would pick, but he refused, said that it would 'spoil the show' for him. "So what are you two talking about?" Aaron asked Gene and I when he got to us at my locker. "Talia figured out a way she can use her power for good." Said Gene. "Really? How?" He asked. "I'm going to ask people all over social media to ask me questions about themselves, ones in which are not findable on the internet or social media, it will take exactly one hour for the post to gain traction, even with my total following on social media." I replied.
