I can tell

Yol-Dausut

I walked inside my house feeling a little dazed. I just wanted the voices to quiet down for a little so I could sleep peacefully, but it seems like I have a life-long test, I thought to myself as I walked up the stairs to find a sleeping Jess on my bed. She looked so comfortable I couldn't help but crawl into the sheets next to her, falling into a deep slumber despite the loud voices coming from the house.

I woke up the next morning with a pair of arms wrapped around my neck not-so softly.

"Jess," I managed to choke out, attempting to wake her up.

"What," she asked in a groggy tone.

"Move your arms, you're strangling me," I said, trying to move them myself.

She moved her arms, pushing me a little in the process. "So what happened yesterday with that guy," she asked.

"Seamus," I corrected her.

"Ya, that guy," she finished rolling her eyes in the process.

"He and I apparently got our 'powers' from the same thing. So we know the source and we do know that the incident changed both of our eye colors," I finished.

"That's strange. What color eyes does he have?"

"A beautiful violet," I responded, almost too quickly.

"No," she nearly yelled.

I shot up at her reaction. "What?!"

"You like him," she said loudly.

"Shut up! No, I don't. Boys are idiots and unkind," I said denying it.

"Yes, yes, I'm sure. You only can base that off your brothers," she said with a raised eyebrow.

"Exactly: I know," I respond.

"You don't know," she said back.

"That's mean! You can't just accuse me of that," I said, fighting her words.

"I am mean, but you like him!"

"So what if I did? He would be able to tell. There would be no secrets whatsoever," I said, finally giving in.

"I knew it!" she said, pumping her fist up in the air. "Why would you need to keep secrets in the first place?"

"I don't know; surprises," I said matter-of-factly.

"Well, there is no reason you can't try. I think it would be a good thing. I mean, a couple that literally cannot keep secrets sounds good to me," she said.

"I guess, but that still doesn't mean he likes me back," I again said.

"No reason you can't try, right?" She fought back, before sniffing the air and jumping out of the queen sized bed.

"What?"

"Breakfast, you mind-reader." She said, giggling as she pulled me out of bed.

"You know I can just read your mind, but then you would just have a silent conversation all by yourself," I said laughing.

"Food smells delicious," she said again as she pulled me down the stairs.

"Yeah, yeah. 3, 2, 1," I said, knowing what was going to happen.

"Jess!" My mom yelled from the kitchen as I said "one."

I giggled to myself. "It's fun," I said again as we walked into the dinning room.

"Mind-reader," she mumbled.

"Yeah? Short one," I fired back, laughing.

"No! I'm sensitive about my height," she joked.

"I know, I can read your mind," I said again laughing way too hard.

"Jess come get your food and stop torturing each other," my mother said, laughing a little as well.
