Tick, tick. Time goes by way too slowly in math class. It's the last class of the day, which means everyone's just waiting for that bell to fill the hallways and the classrooms. We got a worksheet today and I finished with a few minutes to spare so like any teenager I pulled out my phone. I was scrolling through Instagram when I stumbled across one of my crushes pics. There's this kid named Brendon at my school, Brendon Urie. He wears glasses and has dark brown hair. He sits across from me in math class so I get to stare at his dreamy face after I finish. Oh shoot, I just realized how creepy that sounds. Anyway, one time he asked me how to do a problem, and my heart nearly melted. I had to do my best not to seem too excited, but I think it showed through a little. I only say that because ever since then he's started saying hi to me in the hallways. He never used to do that. Anyway, back to Instagram. I looked at it for a few seconds, tapped like, and then tapped on the comment bar. The cursor blinked at me, awaiting my fingers tapping the keyboard. "What to write?", I think. I stare at my phone and finally decide to not comment on anything. As soon as I exited the app Brendon sighed. I looked up at him. Then, for a split second, he glanced up at me with a worried look. A crazy thought popped into my head. What if he can read my mind. I was about to dismiss the idea, but then Brendon stiffened. He looked up at me again and mouthed the word "what" to me. I mouthed 'nothing' back and Brendon looked back down at his worksheet. Then all of the sudden, in my head, I screamed 'ARE YOU READING MY MIND?'. Expecting nothing to happen I was surprised by what Brendon did next. Ever so slightly I saw his shoulders jerk as I yelled in my head. He looked back up at me again, but this time we held each other's glance for a bit.

'Ms. Harper, may I go to the bathroom,' I said still holding Brendon's gaze. I was up and out of the classroom with my stuff before she even had a chance to answer. I started speed walking down the hall as I heard the door open behind me. Expecting the teacher to have come after me I turn around and start to say 'I'm sorry, it's an emergency" but I'm cut off by Brendon's hand on my mouth.

"Don't say anything" He says. I nodded my head as best I could, fighting Brendon's grip on my head. As he removes his hand I take a breath as if I wanted to say something, but closed my mouth before I can get a word out. We stand there for a minute in silence, and then...RING. The end of the day, finally. I turn around and start speed walking to my locker. Thoughts were racing through my head so fast I don't even think Brendon would have enough time to understand them if he tried. I fumble with my locker and my books and my keys. I don't know how to feel about this. Brendon can read minds?! Oh no, does that mean he knows what I think about during classes with him?!?!?! This is not good. I know I can't tell anyone. Who knows what they'll do.

I unlock my car once my hands stop shaking. I don't know why they are shaking so bad. Why am I so nervous? "I have nothing to be worried about," I tell myself as I get in my car.

"You have one thing to worry about," a harsh voice says from behind me. Without a second to react, I feel a cloth cover my mouth and nose. As everything slowly...faded...away.
