"You look like you need some rest ." Professor Xavier says as I lay my head down on the desk and groan . I have a terrible stomachache okay ? I always have stomachaches when I am stressed to the extreme..although I was all hopeful this morning ..but what Cameron said made me overthink like every single thing even if it unrelated ..like seriously who overthinks about why was the mailman rude to them...?...Nevermind . I didn't get enough sleep .
And I didn't get a chance to hear what Cameron wanted to tell me because I had classes but he promised he would be there in the dorm when I finish my course with the professor.
Besides that , I am actually doing good with this course , he explained to me from basics and I understand everything pretty well . He has an incredible way of explaining , I may add .
"Yeah , I guess so ."I mumble.
"You know we can complete tomorrow . We studied alot of stuff . You can go to rest or eat lunch ."
He brings his chair next to mine and proceeds , "Or tell me what's bothering you ." I raise up my head and he is smiling . How did he know something is troubling me is it obvious ?
"You didn't read my mind ?" I ask surprised .
"Nope . I wanted to give you some privacy ." He grins and waits for me to talk . Should I tell him ? If he wanted to know by himself , he would easily do it . His eyes really drag me to tell him everything that happened but I still don't know him . And the fact that I can't read his mind is troubling me . He is an expert in his mutation , he has a freaking school! So of course , he can do stuff that I can't . He can block his mind like all the time . I can only manage it for a couple of minutes without getting distracted . Anyway , I tell him about Cameron from when I first saw him . He asks me a few questions if I read his mind once and about the sudden change of personality when he was all soft and nice yesterday . Professor Xavier was troubled about this as well but his thoughts were a bit wild . I mean he is suspecting that he is dangerous and that he is hiding something really important , he told me to take care but I am sure he is thinking about something else even wider .
"I don't think I ever saw him..." he says after he looks into my eyes and sees the events that I was talking about. He can even do that ?!
"Do me a favor and read his mind . Today . " he says , sounds serious .
"Inform me about his past life , any events when he is alone in school and-"
"Professor Charles ...I um..uh.. I can only read current or recent thoughts . I cannot even see events ...."

".....You are kidding...."
He stares at me unbelievably.
I shake my head sheepishly looking down .
"You never practiced on improving your powers ?! Elena , you are gifted! Do you know what that means ? It means you are special . How can you not work on it ?!" He exclaims and moves around the room while he is talking that it is just so adorable it made me laugh .
"I am sorry ." I say between my laughs .
"Yeah yeah keep laughing ."

"What are we gonna do though ? " I ask him.
"Just try to get him to my office , okay ? And read his mind as well maybe you can figure out something ."

"I can know people's names though."
I blurt out and he looks at me then smiles , "Well at least you can do that . "
We stay silent for a couple of minutes before he speaks again , " So , I wanted some help with these books to put them on shelves-"
"I will help!" I immediately say , feeling so much better now that I talked to him and not in physical pain anymore .

"Thank you." He smiles and sits down and writes some stuff .
I put book by book on the shelf and I wasn't really concentrating on doing that , my thoughts took me somewhere else . I have never thought about this before actually ...about the mutations that are in this world . I smile while imagining tens of different mutations . Fire controlling ....flying...so many mutations I keep imagine .
"Elena ..."
"Huh , yeah ?"
He walks up from his chair and moves towards me his chest pressing to my back and I shrink in myself feeling all the heat rising up to my face....
"You have put that upside down ." He says as he places the book in the right way . I freeze in my place noticing how close we are now ..but then I move away and laugh nervously . "So I guess I should go to my room , right ? I finished the books so yeah bye !" I say quickly as I get my bag and walk towards the door .
"Wait! You can't telepathize , can you ?"
"...I never tried really..."
I reply , awkwardly .
"Let me teach you tomorrow , okay ?"
I nod then I head back to my dorm God , I am starving ! But well , tummy you will have to wait , sorry for that .
I get in the room and Cameron is sitting there , yaaay he kept his promise! I throw my bag on the floor and rush to sit next to him . "Now tell me tell me tell me!" I can't help my curiosity . He slightly laughs and starts talking .
"Well...the reason I know if you are a girl or not is...look , don't think I am a freak okay , I am not making things up . You know why I am not always around here ?...it is complicated , in fact I am in the room most of the time ."
"Huh ?" What the heck is he even talking about ? Was he like hiding or something ...?
He looks into my eyes and stays silent for a few seconds .
I can't just tell her ..no I can't . How can I tell her that it is because I am a mutant ?
I gasp after I have read his thoughts , only to realize his confused expression that I hide my shockness .
"Is there snything wrong , Elena ?"
Why is she acting weirdly ?
"No no , I am sorry . I just remembered that I forgot to call my brother . Please , go on ." I manage to say...hope he believes that .
"Oh okay ." He says .
No , I won't tell her . At least not now , I will make up any lie instead ....just a little white lie until I know how can I tell her this ....society hated my nature ..I don't want her to hate me .
"You know it was obvious that you were a girl ?"
Yeah , very obvious that I didn't know it by myself . Coincidentally , when I was invisible , I figured it out . I am just gonna make her anxious now , great Cam .

INVISIBLE?! So that's what he meant ? His mutation is invisibility ?!
"Elena ?"he calls me .
"Yeah ? I am sorry I am just worried that if you figured it out so easily because it's obvious then anyone else can..." I say , feeling my face getting hotter because I am awful in lying okay .
"Look...um I will get you food , you are pretty sure hungry , right ?"
I nod and he rushes out of the room .
Man , that's a whole lot to know today . I still can't believe that he is actually a mutant. He probably heard me talking to myself or something when he was invisible in the room. Everytime I thought he wasn't here turned out to be false . He was in the room pretty much all the time ...Professor Xavier needs to know .
