'Thoughts'
"Saiki"
Emotions

'Your so compliant,' I told myself,' Come on, emotions rule a man. If you wished, you could start a war. Do something fun!'
We were at the crosswalk with one of Saburo friends I didn't know, and the thought forced it's way to the forefront of my mind. It wasn't new by any means. He just liked to talk to me, and this was the best way to catch my attention. But I didn't want to deal with that right now.
I instead focused my attention to the people around us. Tired, angry, worried, numb...
Nothing.
'What?'
I turned to stare at the large man behind us we were all pointedly ignoring. The loud 'student' was harassing a pink haired student who was staring at me. I concentrated more on the guy with the weird hair and chin.
'Nothing'
Yeah, he was smiling, but it was worrying. No noise, no energy, nothing. He was just...there.
There and really loud.
"Hey pal, we're getting ramen after school today, yeah?"
His pal didn't look happy to be near him. Or here at all. Annoyance.
'The question is do I save him or no.' I glance towards him. His stare seems to be fiercer. Desperation. 'Alright then.'
The light turns green, and I let my brother walk ahead. I turn towards the pair.
"Excuse me...Senpai, can I borrow you for a second?" Without waiting for an answer, I grab his hand and pull him into a run.
"PAL!"
"Aoi!?"
Not the smoothest move, I know, but he should be thankful regardless. This way I earn brownie points and get to school faster, and he's free from that weirdo.
'For now at least.'
"Thank you."
"Ah, your welcome. But, could I ask you to walk with me the rest of the way to my school. It's only a bit away from PK Academy."
He nods and walks off, leaving me to follow behind him.
Relief. His dominating emotion.
'Name... give me your name...'
It's silly, trying to use telepathy to have this guy tell me his name, when I could easily ask. But, he didn't seem like the talking type. That shade of pink will be difficult to forget.
"My name is Saiki Kusuo."
'I'm telepathic!'
"Aoi! Um, Maki Aoi."
He nods and stops.
"Have a nice day."
I look over to see the middle school, though I was sure we were a block away.
"You too Saiki-senpai."
As I put my shoes away, I realize I never told him what school. In fact there was barely any talking at all. Did he even move his mouth?
'Did I... Did I give my name to a creep...?'
