the mask of lies

Again in a new school

Maria POV

Kai comes to wake me up at 7:00.

"Beauty, wake up. We're going to school today." "Kai is honest, I'm the most damned kid ever ..." "Of course not." But from his voice, he thinks it's funny that I think like that. Messchien he must also very often have bad luck and see how he reacts. "And now get out of bed because we've got a long way to go."

After breakfast and changing I walk out of the house behind Kai. "Is it that long?" "Yes walking for half an hour." "Huh, you are already making me tired." "Ha and now we will be running late for school."

We walk to school together in silence. Me in mind and so does he. He can hear my thoughts but I can't hear his. It's so unfair. "Everything has its pros and cons. Not everything is fun about reading thoughts. Sometimes I want some things to have never been heard. You should be happy with them." "Yes, I must be sure." After this conversation, we no longer speak to each other.

When they arrive at school, girls giggle when they meet Kai. It turns out that he is very popular in this school. "Er ... Kai where am I supposed to be?" "Don't call me Kai anymore." "What then?" "Anything you want but no Kai." "Okay, sweetie!" "Not so hard!" It hisses in my ears. "Haha okay. But how do I know where I should be?" "My sister is taking you to class. I made sure you go to her class."

"Heeeeeeey, big brother! Is that your beauty ?!" All the girls look at me with deadly looks. Looks like they want Kai for themselves. "Yes her name is Maria. Maria this is Carmen." "Hey, we're in class together. Let's go." "See you later!" "Until the break, beauty." I quickly follow Carmen in the first lesson. "Mrs. Minaret. This is Maria, the new student in the class." "Nice to meet you, Maria. I am your English teether." "Hi, I'm Maria."

I quickly look for a place and come to the back of the window alone. The teacher starts talking about a story, I know a lot what it's about. My thoughts are elsewhere. But I don't know where...

----------------------------

"Maria! It's intermission!" "Huh? That soon?" "Not my problem that you have your brain somewhere else. You're quite a messy girl." "How do you mean?" "When you think about something, your thoughts go everywhere." "Kai said he can read my thoughts." "Yes, but it's still very difficult when I'm sitting next to you." I am apart. ... again.

"Maria, this is the canteen!" "Well, you don't have to announce that." Let's go find Kai. "Why ......" "Hey beauty, Carmen over here!" "Let's go!" Carmen quickly pulls me to Kai. When we arrive it turns out that a seat is wrong. "Who's sitting?" "I, Carmen, have the right to this chair. You have the right to Kai's legs." "What does your sister mean by that?" "That you should sit on me." "Okay!" And plop down on Kai. "Hoef! Not so pretty!" "She said I'm entitled to it!"

"Are you having fun at school beauty?" "Yes, it is fun." "Beauty please don't lie to me. You know it's no use. If you don't like it then you have to say it then I can do something about it." "No, it's okay." I quickly grab my fruit and eat it. Kai is clairvoyant. That will be hard to lie say. "Kai let's celebrate !!!!" "Why?" I and Kai ask at the same time. "Well, your beauty's thoughts have stayed in the same place once. And that's to celebrate." "I don't understand you ...." "Maria explain." "Well, she thinks my thoughts never stayed in one place during class. So she wants to celebrate because I can finally keep my thoughts in one place."

---------------------

When the lessons are over, I walk home with Carmen. "What do you think of Kai?" "He's nice and helpful. And he's very funny when you let him get surprised."

"Let's have a party tomorrow. Just for friends. And Kai can kiss you then." "Huh, don't forget. I'm new."
