"Y-you're one of them.. aren't you?" He snarls in disgust. Tears fall from my eyes as I nod my head, knowing he would never forgive me. "I'm sorry." - This story takes place in a universe the same as ours, except for a few things, a few immensely different things. There are people who can see other's thoughts. These are called Readers. There is also a select few people who can block them out. These are called Elites, they are extremely rare. Readers are branded, tattooed, with five small dots on their right wrists at birth. They are cast out by society, because society was scared of their power. Elites are very rare, only four for every one billion people. They are sought after by the governments of their countries. Leilani is a Reader. She lives in a tiny apartment that she can barely afford, because Readers aren't aloud good paying jobs. Dan is an Elite, but he doesn't know it. He hates Readers, like most others. He lives in a shared apartment with his best friend, Phil, recording Youtube for his many adoring fans. Phil is secretly a sympathiser for the Readers, although he is completely ordinary. No powers, just a big heart. One day, Phil finds a young woman, a Reader, Leilani, and decides to help her. He tells her she can come live with him and Dan, he buys her makeup to conceal the unmistakable tattoos. This offer Leilani graciously accepts. She lives with Dan and Phil, befriends them, maybe even falls in love. Dan slowly falls for the mysterious girl Phil brings to live with them, having been told that her and Phil were old friends. He doesn't know what she is, but she quickly comes to realize what he is. She must keep herself a secret from the world. She must keep herself a secret from Dan. - That was the longest description ever oh my God. Okay but anyways, this is a story I've had in my mind for a very long time. The idea is mine, please do not steal it. If you see anyone who has stolen it please tell me immediately. Enjoy. - Ev

4 years have gone by since those magical nights with my love, Dan Howell. The group still remains together, Dan, Phil, Kian, Jeremy, Jordan, Eden, Julia and I are all still as close as we were when we were 18. Not all of us went to college after graduation. Dan moved in with Phil so he could focus more on his You Tube. He had so many subscribers! I was proud of him, but we were separated most of the time when I went off to film school with Eden, Kian, and Julia. However, this was my last year and I promised that I would move in with Dan as soon as I graduated. But as my birthday comes, Dan purposes to me, but just as I think everything is going to be all right... it turns, terribly wrong.

❝it's all about your perspective.❞

Moving to London, finally. New people, new home, new life. You can forget all of your problems back in North America, with the help of someone special... _____________ Forewarning: I wrote this story many years ago, so I apologize for all the spelling mistakes, grammar issues and the overall overused plot. My writing has since improved, but I'd rather not edit and correct all these things for the sake of looking back on how much I've grown and changed, writing-wise. Thanks for your understanding!
