Voices. That's all I hear, it never stops. I keep waiting for the day they will all go away but I know its not possible. I was born into this, I was raised up into it and no matter how hard I try the voices won't stop. I am a mind reader, yes I am. Stop looking at me like I'm crazy, I'm not lying to you, I have no reason to. Why am I sharing this with you? Well, my whole life I just wanted to fit in, be normal. No one knows of my secret well except you- promise. Promise me not to tell anyone?

"I wish he liked me..."

"I'm so hungry..."

"Can't wait to leave this stupid school"

Thoughts swarmed around Wricker Academy's hallways. Trust me that wasn't all of the voices I heard all day, sometimes I find a way to control it and switch it to mute, it doesn't last very long. The problem is, I am the only one who has to deal with this, the rest of the school goes about with their life while I'm here trying to survive HighSchool without shooting myself. What a freak I am. My thoughts immediately get interrupted, it was Eric my bestfriend. He was gorgeous, black wavy short hair and those green eyes. Oh did I mention I had the biggest crush on him? No? well, I do. But it will never work out, he likes Grace the average long haired blonde with blue eyes who surprisingly gets straight A's(Not your typical dumb blonde)

"Hey Natasha..." Eric said while flashing a smile at me. His teeth were perfect.

"Hey Eric, aren't you suppose to be in Basketball practice now?" Eric sometimes acted like Basketball was his life, I wasn't annoyed by it though. Dance was mine.

"Yeah... But I wanted to stop by to say hi to you." He replied

"Oh okay.. well hi?" I said slowly.

"OH. sorry. yeah I also had to ask you a question" He practically shouted.

"Shhh, what is it? Girl problems? You need some courage to ask Grace out? Okay well just march-"

"No not about Grace, about you. I was wondering, could you..." He interrupted me

"Yes?" My heart was pounding could this be the moment I was waiting for since Elementary school, Please please please..

"I'm kind of embarrassed but I was wondering could I come over this afternoon and can you help me in math? Im kind of struggling, coach said he might drop me if it gets below a C." He finally said.

I sighed. So it wasn't what I was waiting for since Elementary school, way to get your hopes up Natasha, way to go. "Uh, yeah sure after school walk with me home?"

He nodded then embraced me in a warm hug. His hugs were the best, also his cologne. Not too strong not too weak, just right. "Thank you so much" The bell rang and we parted ways. Next class I had with Tyler, there was just too many fine boys in this school but I didn't like him like that, but I was pretty sure he liked me. He was always passing notes to me and dropping his pencil under my desks when I'm wearing dresses or skirts- uh yeah right, I wear shorts under them. He is a cool guy though, we have so many inside jokes and he makes me feel safe. But sometimes I just want to slap him in the face, its a love hate relationship. One reason why I know he likes me is, I hear his thoughts I caught him thinking about being my boyfriend. I should let him be my boyfriend, but my heart was permanently attached to Eric's. I guess I was one loyal crusher. I walked into the classroom overloaded with thoughts, I sat down quietly and began getting my history book out. Tyler was tapping on my shoulder, I looked at him and waited for him to speak.

"Hey Natasha" Tyler said. He was thinking about me and something was bothering him. I could sense it.

"Whats wrong?" I asked concerned. Don't get me wrong I was freaked out by him but I would do anything for him. Maybe even take a bullet.

"How did you know something was wrong? Okay... Never mind I just wanted to ask you... please don't ask I know what your thinking.. I started to panic.

If you would join me on Saturday night, at the movies? You know kind of a date.."

I released a breath of air I was holding in, this was the first time he has asked and I don't want him to shoot him down and hurt his feelings cause I'm crushed that Eric will never like me. I pondered for a minute. It couldn't be that bad. I opened my mouth and heard the words "Okay, pick me up at my house at 6" come out.
