The Vampires Mindreader

What are you?

I sat staring at him for the remainder of the class. In all 20 years of my life, I never had met someone who could hear me too. I thought I was the only one. As he talk to and answered questions from the class I watched him. Every few moments he would make eye contact with me and we had a shared thought "how can he/she hear me?" The tension between me and him was unbearable, it was almost like we could feel each other.

College was hard enough as it was I didn't need someone who could read me as well. I didn't need this in my life right now. As much as I didn't like the unsettling feelings he gave me and as much as I wanted to bolt out of the class to get away from him, I was curious about him now and my curiosity kept me firmly planted where I sat.
"Stay in your seat when I dismiss class. We need to talk."
I nodded in response.
Yes we did need to talk.

I did my best to stay out of his thoughts for the remainder of the class and when he dismissed I stayed in my seat. When the last student left the room he walked over and took the a seat in front of me, straddling the back of the chair. Through all of this weirdness I haven't had a chance to really look at him, and when I did I noticed just how truly handsome he was. He had dark hair, dark blue eyes and a very strong jaw line. He had broad shoulders and was about 6 foot tall. He was the definition of my type.

I felt a tug in my head and somehow I knew it was from him withdrawing himself from my thoughts. He heard that I found him attractive. "Now you have to be the one to be careful what your thinking Sarah" I thought to myself.
Now hiding my embarrassment I looked up to meet his eyes. He didn't comment on what he heard but I knew he heard it. Instead he spoke regarding the elephant in the room.

"How can you hear my thoughts? He asked. He gave me no time to reply before he spoke again.
"Your not a vampire or wolf I'd be able to smell wolf and I can hear your heart beating, so what are you?" He looked at me scrutinizingly he almost looked mildly irritated. I was beyond confused. What is he taking about? Im human nothing else. I couldn't be anything else there's no such thing as vampires or werewolves.
Instead of answering his question I asked one in return
"How can you here me? I've never met anyone else who could read minds," I told him.
"I'm no one important. What is important that you stay out of my head and try not to project your thoughts to me during class" He said.
"What do you mean project my thoughts?"
"It's what you did when I first sat down In front of you. When you focused on me your thoughts of me came tumbling into my mind and I, for some reason, couldn't push them out. I was forced to see what you saw and feel what you felt, until you came out of it, for me to be able to focus again."
"I didn't even realize I was doing it..." I stated embarrassed.
"Clearly" he said clearly not enjoying this exchange.
" well whatever you are, your not my problem, just stay out of my head" he stated as he got up from his chair and walked strait out of the classroom, probably off to his next class of the day.

I took my time packing up processing what just happened. I couldn't believe he could hear my thoughts. I knew there was no way I was going to survive this class if I had to fight to keep everyone else's thoughts out and have to protect my thoughts from him. I didn't even know how to keep my thoughts from him. It took me years to figure out how to keep other people's thoughts from popping up in my brain. But learning how not to project my thoughts to him... I had no idea where to start. It was a different feeling all together. For once I wasn't the receptacle I was the sender.

Admittedly it was a nice change of pace but it was still unwelcome. I wanted to stay out of his brain as much as he wanted me to stay out. " I wonder if he could teach me how to keep him out?" I thought to myself.
I'll have to ask him the next time I see him. As long as I can keep my thoughts to myself I'll be fine.
I hope.
