*Ash's POV*

Garnet laughed again, that high pitched, jittery laugh you couldn't help but think was cute. She kept her eyes on me, bright with cheerfulness which was, to be honest kind of  creepy. But not nearly as creepy as what she'd just done. I quickly looked around to where she'd parked the car. I could easily run home from here, but I had a terrible feeling that she'd stop me in mileseconds.

So I was stuck inside a car with a crazy girl who could read my mind. Fantastic.

“Yeah, I can read your thoughts. It’s kind of a speciality of mine.”

I felt my mouth grow dry again as I tried to speak.

“But, how can you-?”

She completed my words again. “Do it?”

Damn, that was starting to get annoying. It made me wonder whether Beth had to put up with her endless sentence finishing.

The sound of her chiming giggles filled the surprisingly spacious car.

“Wow,” she laughed. “Most human minds are pretty dull, you know, panicky and just mental shrieking, but yours is different.” She stopped laughing, her face adding a more serious note.

“Your mind’s more calculating than others, you don’t necessarily panic. You analyse, try to figure out how something works or how or why. That’s a good thing by the way. It means you’ve got a healthy mind.” 

“Uh...” I faltered, not quite sure whether to feel worried or violated or flattered by the compliment on the condition of my mind.

“Definitely take it as a compliment.” She interjected, again.

I lost it then.

“Will you cut that out?” I yelled. “It’s really annoying, and hasn’t anybody told you it’s kind of rude to read people’s private thoughts?”

My outburst evidently had the opposite effect of what I had wanted. She simply exploded out into giggles again, louder than ever.

“Oh relax. I’m not going into anything personal, just the surface stuff you automatically think.” She kept going after she saw I was going to speak again.

“I’m not trying to read those thoughts. I just hear them as you think them, like a bunch of whispers you can’t help but overhear. Does that sound simpler?”

I stared at her open mouthed. How the hell could any of this sound simple? My brain couldn’t possibly process all this supernatural stuff in one afternoon.

Garnet kept talking, and to be honest I was starting to become grateful for it.

“You’ll get used to it. Actually none of this stuff is that complicated, once you’ve been around it for a bit. Believe it or not, it just seems normal after a while.”

She smiled at my still confused face.

It was impossible to believe any of this could even be considered normal.

“Tell you what, if you want I’ll answer a couple of your questions, ok? Although, I’m pretty sure you’ve been told some stuff. Actually,” She shifted body so she faced me fully. “Do you mind if I check?”
