SILENT THOUGHTS

My name is Natalie Howard, a high schooler, I'm 18 years old and I come from a family of four, have an elder brother who schools outside the country by scholarship, well. I have an average family, my dad works as a secretary, and my mom is a beverage store manager, I wish I was normal like everyone else, why is that? My dad calls it a curse my mom calls it a gift, this is my secret ability, my ability to read people's minds, it all started after a heart transplant when I was 6, three days after I had a heart transplant after suffering from heart disease for two years, my parents finally raised the fund for the heart transplant, and that put me into a dilemma, i was still in the hospital when it all started, the doctor was thinking I had an obvious resemblance with his dead daughter, why the nurse was thinking the doctor back ass looks sexy... I was so confused hearing their thoughts so loud, I had asked the doctor if I really look like his dead daughter, he was so surprised, he asked h

"What are you doing?" He asked me looking at me sternly, despite holding my hand I couldn't hear his thoughts, I pulled away from him and stood, "I wanted to wake you," I said and started moving, I was almost late for class, I saw Mr. Blair on the way but I run past him to get to class, looks like Mister handsome will face Mr. Blair after all, I thought as I settle down, Mr. Blair was a black dude who managed to make dread look cool, he was addressing us about the semester topics when Adrian came in. "Hey, you?" Mr. Blair called as Adrian was walking towards his seat, he turned to him in surprise "Why...are.. you...just coming?" He asked through gritted teeth annoyed, He was upset...really mad, he had a misunderstanding with one of the teachers and was ready to punish any student that messed up today, he didn't want to care if we just resumed, thanks to his mashed up thoughts I was able to pick out something. "I asked you why you are just coming!?" He yelled at the dumbfounded Ad

I know Adrian's problem was psychological, but I can't figure out exactly what was wrong with him. I sighed as I watch him in the clinic bed, we had rushed him to the school clinic after calling him several times and he was still unconscious, but he had been attended to after immediately he was brought. Mrs. Smith entered as I watch him sleeping peacefully after he was attended to, Mrs. Smith sighed after placing her hand on his forehead. "What happened?" She turned to me and asked after that. "He put up for me when I was ganged up against. Then he suddenly- "Reacted " Mrs. Smith completed and took her seat next to his bed. "He has a psychological problem. He is sociophobic, can't stay in a social environment, he is isolated, I didn't want him to be sociopathic because of his phobia, that's why I had him transferred to have him under my watch, so he can relate since we had it under control. We already get him some drugs that seem to work perfectly for him I just-" She sighed aft

Mrs. Smith brought me to school again and I thought that was somehow raising my savings I was glad. I didn't talk much to Adrian today, because many things were assumed already including something was going on between us, and not just that, I didn't want to be like I'm throwing myself at him. I shouldn't be the only one calling on him, he should try to be communicative...sometimes, Hanna has been giving me killer look since I arrived in school not just her but Bob too, they were planning something and I had no idea cause I couldn't get an explicit detail from their thoughts. During recess, I left to sign up for my extracurricular activity, I have always been a karate girl, and a good swimmer, I'm also a basketball freak but I couldn't sign up for basketball not now that I'm studying for my final exams, but I love Karate the best, I was the best karate student last year, I can't lie my ability is really helping in this, in every training I was able to gain more moves using the experts'

The atmosphere between Adrian and I was a little bit tense after what happened, we all had dinner together and immediately after we finish doing that I heard Mr Smith's car pull by. "Looks like your parents are here," my mom said wrapping some pie in the kitchen serviette, she packed it up with two bottles of juice and handed them the basket. "Thanks, Mrs. Howard" They spoke at the same time but my mom just shrugged it off with a wave of her hand. "Don't mention darling" My mom said, then we heard a knock and I quickly get the door. "Hi Mrs Smith" I greeted and let her in. "Thank you so much, Mrs Howard, I'm really grateful for allowing my babies to stay with you," she said shaking my mom's hand. "You don't have to mention, I'm always available...anytime" My mom replied nicely, that was all that was said before Goodnight, I really couldn't make the rest out cause I had my headset on, then but I had to hold it down as I saw Adrian waving me goodnight so I waved back. "You know...
