Mind Mist

Chapter two

Chapter 2

The first day at a new school. Great....  At least when you are in a big town no one really knows you are new, but oh no. Maddie just had to live in a small town were everyone knew each other since birth. It was January. Just starting the new semester. That is just perfect. The second I got onto campus I was the center of attention. No it looked more like I was the center of the world to these people. That was the last thing I needed. Being very clumsy and all.

There were four buildings. All single floors. All tan and white buildings with the numbers one, two, three, and four on the sides. I sighed as I pulled into the parking lot that was closest to the building that said "Main office." Other kids were parking in there so I figured it was okay. I parked farthest away from everyone and near the shade. I got out of my car. Okay, it was more like i was forcing my self out of the car. It was bad enough that everyone staring at me and whispering. With the mind reading thing, it made this my new hell.

Everyone's car was a little outdated, So I stood out even more. With so many people I got a headache because I could hear every ones thoughts without choice. "Oh,my gosh.Look at her.Shes gorgeous.And now everyone is going to want to talk to her instead of me.Ugh I think I don't like her, or I could be friends with her and then everyone will have to talk to me. I am a genus!"  I just guessed that was either the popular girl or wanna be popular girl. I rolled my eyes to the girl who said that. I had just about enough of all this. I decided to just block out everyone instead of hearing all their thoughts about the "new girl."

       I walked into the office. The secretary looked at me and smiled. Her name is Mrs.Griffin. She is a plumb women. Dirty blond almost brown hair. Brown eyes. She does seem pretty though, If she tried. "Ah the new girl.Abigail Johnston. Well she does look like her mother. It is good that she has come to live with Maddie finally. There is only so long that a teenage girl can go without her mother." Mrs.Griffin thought. I wanted to yell at her and tell her I have a mother. And it sure isn't Maddie, At least she hasn't acted like it in a while. But I just ignored that thought and asked for my classes. She handed me a peace of paper with six classes,teachers,and room numbers on it. Then she handed me a half sheet of paper with hours one through six on it and I was guessing that my teachers had to sign it. How wonderful. Of course I guessed right and I would have to come back at the end of the day to turn in the paper, and tell her how my classes were. 

       The first three hours went by so slow. I had to stand in the front of each class for five minutes and tell things about my self. I was so not happy about that. When I got done with my third one I did meet a girl named Emma Sparks. I also have a few classes with Cole. Cole and I were best friends when I came here in the summer. So he was a little surprised on how I look now. Emma and Cole showed me the lunch room. Thankfully they sat at the same table so I followed them. No one was really hungry so we all went straight to the table. It was very difficult to block out thoughts when some people were almost screaming them at me. A new girl at a small town high school is like giving a four year old a shiny new toy. Everyone wants to play with it. The only guy that caught my eye was a boy named Derek Canton. He has Dark brown hair. His eye is blue green. He has a strong jaw line that makes him look almost to die for. Emma noticed that I was looking at him. She whispered "That's Derek Canton. He came here two months before you did. Even though he is gorgeous, He hasn't really looked at anyone, let alone date anyone. So you might not even want to try." Derek was smiling like he could hear us. I pushed that thought away. At first I didn't know what to say to her then I just said "Wasn't even thinking about it."

       Sadly, Cole saw who I was looking at to. Cole has always liked me. Actually I think he fell in love with me over the years. But I don't feel the same way. I truly feel bad but I wont force my self to feel something I don't. I reassured him that I wasn't even thinking of Derek like that. He was a little relieved. Cole is the only person who knows I can read minds. He only knows because he told me something about him to. He is a guardian angle. When he turns 18 he will get all of his knowledge back from his previous lives. He is reborn every life time. After he told me his secret I thought he should know mine. In a way he said he sort of knew. He thinks that I will get more "gifts" as I get older. I hope not. He was surprised to hear that I can read minds out loud though. Cole thought it was so cool. Well you only think it is cool if you don't have the "gift." Personally I think it's hell. Then when you hear something your not meant to hear then you feel bad because that was their private thought. Sometimes you hear things that are about you but people would never dare say them out loud.
