I haven't told anybody about my powers yet.

I just think it's too supernatural for someone to believe.

I mean, if I had been told that a person had X-Ray vision and could hear people's thoughts, I would've said, "yeah, right" and thought they were crazy.

So, no one knows.

Not even Mr. Ross.

Anyway, I stayed in the nurse's office for about a half hour. I think it was just because the nurse got some free time to check her phone, call her friends, and also do her job by caring for me (which was pretty much just coming into the room for a quick second to see if I hadn't died while she was on her phone), all the while getting a pay raise because she's "caring for" a "badly injured" student.

Most of the time, I'm pretty concerned about people not doing their jobs like that.

Other times, like these, I really don't care.

Mr. Ross and I had the greatest conversation about ecology and how it could be even more complicated than the universe itself. I had the greatest time.

When I had to leave, I felt a twinge of sadness.

Also, I could still hear people's thoughts and see through the walls (I couldn't see through things like clothes and stuff, though, which was a relief).

The nurse was thinking about when she would meet with her friends and bake (and some other stuff that was pretty, well, weird)

Mr. Ross, though, was a totally different story.
