Get Out of my Head

*Heads up this is going to be twice as long as normal chapters.

"They are out there, stealing your thoughts, making your ideas their Ideas, knowing your innermost secrets and telling others. They must be stopped if you know anything please contact the number below."

The commercial plays for the sixth time today warning people about the constant threat of mind readers. The threat started years back when a man claimed he had an idea for a new product but before he even wrote it down or told anybody it was already in the market and with that people became suspicious and started claiming more things like that were happening.

And as you can guess the government got scared and created a law where any and all people caught mind reading would be sentenced to death because they didn't want an uprising against them. It started with rounding up magicians who did those types of tricks but it has gotten to the point where if someone says something and another person claims they were about to say the same thing the person would be arrested. Practically everyone believed mid readers were evil

Do I believe that mind readers are evil? No, but I do believe there are mind readers that are evil well they can do bad things but just because they can use the power for evil doesn't mean they will.

"Katie!" My mom's voice pulls me from my thoughts.

"What?"

"I have been calling your name why haven't you responded?"

"Sorry I was writing in my journal and you know I space out when I write." my journal something that nobody is ever allowed to touch everything in it is a privet I guess you could call it a diary but it is not locked me and my parents agreed that this is the only thing off limits to them.

"Well we have to leave for school or you are going to be late and we all know what happened last time you were late."

"Yes mom I just need to grab my backpack." last time I was late I had a panic attack as I almost got my first detention but since I had a reason to be late they let me off but the panic attack made me afraid of ever being late for school.

Later I was sitting in class my study hall period where I didn't have any work to do well unless you call trying not to stare at my crush work. My thoughts drifted back to this morning and the commercial that has been playing on repeat for well almost as long as I can remember just for fun I decided to yell something in my head as it is a way to catch mind readers I just think of a random word and yell it in my head.

"BUNNIES." With where I was sitting I could easily see the whole class so I wouldn't miss if anyone reacted and just as I yelled it someone flinched and turned and looked straight at me it was Justin. Justin my long-time crush best athlete in school he is good at any sport he tries but he is not just an airhead jock he is extremely intelligent not to mention he is one of the nicest guys you will ever meet.

We lock eyes for several seconds before the bell rings signaling that it was time for lunch. I pack up my things and stuff them into my backpack and try to quickly rush out but as I am about to turn into the cafeteria a hand grabs my upper arm.

"Keep walking or else."

"Or else is such a bad threat you are supposed to add something to the end." He pulls me into a room that is always abandoned at lunchtime.

"Why did you yell in your head."

"I was curious if there were any mind readers in class. But I think I should be asking you why you were reading my mind."

"That is classified information."

"Classified, how is that classified?"

"Mind readers have our own sort of government or as it could be called if it was found out about a rebellion. They gave me a mission."
