"Well, that was quite blunt Angel, but yes, Amber is my daughter," my mother spoke to the whole class, a smile lighting her face, to be honest, they all looked like they would fall at her feet.

"Hi Amber," they all greeted me very politely and smiled, most of them looked sincere, but one or two looked like they ached to laugh at me, it didn't really bother me, compared to those who looked at me with welcoming eyes, they were nothing. Most were willing to give me a chance.

I couldn't work out why I could hear them talking under their breath, I couldn't even see there lips moving, but everytime I concentrated on there eyes, I could here them talking about me.

Wow, she's prettier than her mother.

I wonder if she'd like to be friends.

Is she really?

OMG OMG OMG Erik Night's Daughter.

That's her, she's hot.

These were just some of the things they said about me, it wasn't hurtful, I was just shocked that they thought I was pretty, it was an almost black haired boy in the front who had spoken about me being pretty, he patted a free seat beside him, but my mother motioned for me to sit beside Angel. Clearly she knew what he was thinking.

"Right class, settle down, as I was saying, the topic we are doing this year is the top ten American vampire myths,"almost everyone sniggered when she said this, it was really stupid some of the things America believes in, "And how we can change at least our communities view."

"Zachary, can you come up to the front and tell us the number one vampire myth, I hope that you've done your home work," she put on the voice that she used to use when asking me if I had done my homework, just as long as she didn't say a thing about my Birthday, I would be fine in her class.

The boy who she had just called up to the front had short spiky brown hair, rectangular navy blue glasses and a sprinkling of freckles, he was actually a bit cute, but nothing on Tristan.

I focused in on the boy and he began to speak.

Oh my godess, everyone is going to laugh at me, and that new girl, she's going to think I'm a stuttring weirdo, she's really pretty, what do I do, it's all flown out of my head, ZOEY IS GOING TO KILL ME!

The loudness of it hit me and made me jump, my mother looked at me with questioning eyes, but I was to busy having a moment to bother with her looks.

I could here voices, I could read his mind, what do I do? Do I tell them?

"Mu – uhh – Professor, could I go to the toilets, I feel really sick, I've still got a bit of a headache."

"Sure, Hone – Amber, do you know your way?"

No! "Yeah."

I left the room my head reeling, as I passed by two students, I focused my mind in on them, not even looking at them, and straight away the voices started.

Is that girl new?

I think I've seen her face before...

I pulled my head from thier thoughts, shaking a little, I made my way to my room, I hadn't really known my way to the toilets but I needed to get out of their before I threw up with shock. I couldn't be a mind reader, of all the thing to become, I hadn't expected this in the least, I had thought only vampires were able to have blurred mind readin powers and here I was, fledgling and able to read minds without even looking at the person, if I tell anyone, they'll probably just feel like I'm invading their privacy, I would have to keep it to myself, It's not like I would really tey to invade peoples privacy, I didn't have to read inds all the time. I could easily learn to control it. And on my own, not with enhancement classes, and they would be fun, now I would look talentless.

Oh Crap.

"Amber, Amber where are you, oh there you are, you missed the rest of 1st, Zoey asked me to go get you and check you were okay, are you okay?"

"Angel, I need to tell you something, but you need to tell noone, I trust you already, and you really need to keep quiet about this," I had to tell her, she was my roommate, and if I didn't tell her, she would hate me if she found out.

"Yeah..?"

And I told her, I told her everything, I told her how I had felt about today and how I had just worked out I could read minds, she was near jumping on the bed by the end and had try to "Oh my Godess!" several times during my speech, now when I finished I thought she was going to go into overload.

"That is just about. The most coolest thing. EVER!" She was literally grinning from ear to ear when her face fell extremely quickly, "we will be in so much trouble, we were supposed to be at 2nd 10 minutes ago!"

"It's okay, not that I want to lie to Shaunee and Erin, but we can just say I had a small fainting spell and everything will ne fine, I was kind of freaked out anyway," (some of the proffessors preferred their actual names, others preferred their second & their title professor) she brightened up and after I grabbed a little bottle of water, we set of to Enhancement classes.

"You are going to love it, Shaunee and Erin are amazing teachers, Erin's my mentor, I have never been to one of these classes and not loved it, I'm developing an affinity for growth, weird, i know, but that's what they call it, it means I can make things grow faster, so yeah, it's all good, that's why we have a rose in water in our room, I keep it healthy and growing, an everyday practice, Shaunee recommended it, I totally love it, it keeps my affinity in check, and helps me to move on to bigger things, anyway, enough about my affinity, are you really not going to tell them?" Her faced changed to a look of concern, as if I was doing something room, I gave her an encouraging smile back and explained to her what it would be like if everyone knew:

"They would all try to block me out, scared I'd invade their privacy, but I'm not like that, I can't help having this affinity."

"Why did you tell me then?"

"Because if you did find out, then you would obviously be upset that I didn't tell you, I didn't want my new best friend to hate me," I gave her sarcastic wink and she squealed a little giggle.

We linked arms and entered our enhancement class together.

"Tut tut Amber, late to class,"

"And making Angel late aswell!"

The twin aunts looked over from the things they were doing and smiled a welcome.
