I didn't realize there was something strange until I turned sixteen and I started to have visions. The first time it happened I was at school paying attention to a lesson and it suddenly seemed like a little number popped out of nowhere beside the head of a boy I secretly fancied. I stared at that number very puzzled and shocked and looked around the class wondering if someone was using a specific laser that made the numbers appear in that strange fashion beside his head. But no one was looking in his direction and he continued to talk normally to a boy seated beside him, like nothing was the matter. The number was bright yellow and stayed seated in his right ear direction, looking shining and visible and it didn't go away, even after I rubbed my eyes desperately trying to make it go away. It was a number 4 and it was the first time I had the vision that would accompany me for longer than I would have wished. The next day, the numbers multiplied and now they were everywhere, showing themselves next to different men and I didn't know what to do or what to think of such a strange apparition.
