I Know Everything

Chapter 2: High School Sucks

Hello, I am a 16 year old girl named Celeste. Can you tell that I can read minds? No, probably not. All my life I have been an 'outsider' and I never have had many friends. Some come and go, but the worst thing of all, high school. For 5 days a week I have to go to school. High school is like torture to me. All the kids make fun of me, especially Cleo. Cleo is the meanest girl in our school. She makes fun of everyone, and once she has a nickname for someone, everyone know it. And everyone call you it. For me, I'm, "Weirdo." Original huh? She has her little clan of mean girls that walk down the hall ways with her. All walking down the halls like best friends giving the death stare to everyone. They may think Cleo is their friend, but really, Cleo only thinks of herself. And you must wonder how I go through the days hearing everyone's thoughts invading my mind. Well I'll tell you how it works. I can only hear the people's thoughts by really engaging and clearing my mind. So if I don't want to hear anything, I don't have to. But sometimes my mind reading doesn't work, sometimes it gives me the wrong words and sometimes I try to clear my mind and it doesn't work. Sometimes I hear people minds when I don't want to, that's what destroys me.
I'm sitting in my history class when I see this boy walk in, I have never see him before. He must have just moved here. He was tall, dark haired, and very handsome. Way out of my league. I am tall, blonde, and very clumsy. I could see why all the girls were making googly-eyed faces at him, some were even drooling. I know why, he was gorgeous.
I could see him out of the corner of my eye, I didn't want to stare. He came in and took the only seat not taken, right next to me. "Hello," he whispers. As the teacher keeps on rambling stuff about history. Very boringly, I decide to reply. "Hi."
