CHAPTER THREE

SOPHIE

Okay, I'm not really sure why but I kinda trust the guy, like he could be a serial killer or something, not likely, but it could still be something like that. I take his hand and he opens the door to his car. I get in and he gets in on the other side of the car. we drive in complete silence, not really an awkward silence but more of a we are both gathering our thoughts kind of silence. when he stops we are around a lot of trees and are pretty much in the middle of no where. he gets out of the car and I do the same. It stopped raining and now had that nice rain smell that you get after it, well, rains. He starts walking, not in the direction of the lighted tree area but the dark area. But still, I can't explain it but I trust him and so I follow him and after walking for a good five minutes he stops at a big tree. He starts to climb it and to be honest I can't not notice how good he looks doing this. He makes is look effortless and easy. I walk over to the tree and attempt to try to climb the tree. I'm half way up when I slip but before I can fall, a hand is there for me to grab on to. Strong arms pull me up and set me down. I look around and can't help the smile on my face. The tree is a strange shape, with a flat area in the middle and branched wrapping around it you could probably fit a fridge in the space. The only light was coming from a lantern that had a candle in it. It was absolutely beautiful. "Thought you would like it." he said with a small smile. "So what is this? your hook up spot?" I asked. "No, its not. I haven't taken anyone here before." he said with a light tone but the words seemed kind of serious. "So...your a telepath like me and what else is there to say?" I ask. He looks at me says "It's nice isn't it? The quiet." I had been so busy thinking about the scene that I hadn't even realized that my headache had almost disappeared. I can't remember that happening since, well since Fitz touched me. "Yea... it's nice." he nodded. "Can I ask you a question?" he nodded again and sat down in the flat area of the tree, I did the same. our knees where almost touching. "Do you get headaches from all the constant thoughts in your head?" he looked away and said "Yea, but I learned a trick to muffle it a little." Sophie knew this was going to be strange to say but she had to know. "Di-did y-you um feel that when we touched the other day and tonight?" His teal eyes flashed up at her and he had an unreadable expression on his face. "Yea, you felt it too?" Sophie nodded and then asked what was another strange question. "C-can um can we try that again and see if it works?" He nodded and took his hand out of his sweatshirt pocket. I took out my hand too and with shaky hands touched his hand. Like before the same relief feeling came and felt so relaxing. you could see that the same thing was going on with Fitz. We sat there for who knows how long just enjoying the nice sound, or rather not sound, of quiet. But, when suddenly it started to rain again we both opened our eyes and got up, not wanting to get wet. The drive back to the diner was quiet. When we got to the diner before I got out of the car Fitz said my name. "Um do you maybe want to go back there and try out some different things to see if we can connect in some way?" he asked with uncertainty. To a lot of people someone asking that would sound weird and strange but him asking that just felt right and made me excited. I gave him a small smile and said "Yea, do you want to meet outside of school after seventh period?" he returned the smile and said "yea that would be great." I got out of the car and headed to my car, head swimming with different thoughts, mine and of course others.

FITZ:

The next day I could barely keep my eyes open. I couldn't get to sleep thinking about Sophie. She was just like me! I couldn't wait for after school to meet her and experiment with our telepathy. In science class when I got there Sophie was already sitting there at our table, and I was about to walk over there when an annoying person that I now consider my ex, came up and stopped me in my tracks. "What the hell Fitz?!" She asked in an annoying voice. Sophie didn't have an annoying voice like that, hers was soft- hold up. what is wrong with me I can't b thinking about that! No not like that. "look, Stacia," i gave her a fake small smile "I'm really sorry but this isn't going to work out." her face was dumbfounded. Then it got all red and she shouted- like really shouted loudly "IS THIS BECAUSE OF THAT GIRL SOPHIE FOSTER I SAW YOU SNEEK OFF WITH?" everyone turned and looked at us and then over at Sophie, who had a face as red as Stacia's red lip gloss. To make Sophie feel better, and me too, I said "No, Stacia it's all you, I'm sorry but your too dumb and annoying and there is only so much a person can take of that. Sophie though now that you bring it up is the very opposite of you." I said it loud enough for everyone to hear. I don't know why I got so defensive like that. Usually I would roll my eyes and walk away but I felt like I needed to defend Sophie. I sat down next to her and when I looked over she was still beat red from blushing. "Sorry about that." I said to maybe make her feel better. she just nodded and kept her head down. There was still five minutes before class is supposed to start. I then asked because I couldn't take the silence, "Are you okay?" She lifted her head and leaned in a little and whispered "Yea, just the usual head ache but today Stacia's thoughts are really loud." I got what she meant but because I figured out how to shield my thoughts it didn't hurt as much. I leaned in and said "If you want, I can teach you how I shield it a bit, its not the greatest but it helps with some of the head ache." she looked at me and smiled. "Yea that would be great." We went back to being silent for a moment and then I said "For right now to help with your head ache we can touch." She looked at me and her face began to blush again, like last night when she asked if we could try the same thing. I scooted my arm over to where her arm rested on the table. And, just like before the same nice feeling came back, and I don't think I will ever get tired of it. After a moment her features relaxed and she looked way better. In fact I don't think she ever really looked this good before. Her face was really pretty when it wasn't scrunched up in pain. She wore the tiniest bit of makeup, unlike all the other girls. After class was over I spent the whole rest of the time thinking about Sophie Foster. How could I have never noticed it before? Sophie was Beautiful, in fact the most beautiful woman I had ever seen. I now it's wrong to think this especially because of the situation, but I can't help it. Finally it was the end of the day and I was walking out side when I saw Sophie walking across the cross walk when out of no where a car came and almost hit her, and it would have if Sophie hadn't put her hands out and somehow moved the car without touching it, and obviously it wasn't the driver because the driver, like an idiot, had his on his head freaking out. This made me mad. This idiot almost hit Sophie, and killed her. As I ran over to where Sophie was the driver got out of the car and said "You know you should really watch where your going next time, you could have died." Sophie looked at him still with a surprised look on her face. This sent me over the edge and I punched him, I mean who does this guy think he is saying that to her? He could have killed her, She could have been dead right now. I hit him once, twice and then a third time, before a pair of small, delicate hands touched my for-arm also with the now familiar feeling coming through me. I looked Sophie who had wide eyes and flushed cheeks. before I could say anything though another pair of hands grabbed my shoulder and turned me around. Mr.Forkle. He did not look happy. But before I could deny anything, somehow-I don't know how- his voice filled my head and said you kids always getting into trouble, Sophie, Fitz come with me, there are a few things we need to discuss.
