Their conversation came to a measly end as the bell ran ten minutes later, though to her it didn't seem like ten minutes but a mere two. They stood up in unison after their light goodbyes and headed towards the door together, he opened the door for her and she stepped through. She came to a question that she hadn't asked, "What were you going to say to me on the night I dissapeared?" she said verbally stopping him at the door.
Thought it was obvious to her where he was going with that conversation she wanted to hear him admit it, just to rub it in his face. "I think you already know the answer to that question." he said dodging the question. "I have to get used to you being able to read my mind." she said smiling slightly. "Yeah, I discovered just how much of a useful talent it is."
"I'll take it you feel the same for Bella as you did me?" she asked as students started walking past them. He nodded affirming her thought, she laughed slightly before looking down at her feet like her boots were suddenly the most entertaining thing in the world. She noticed how she acted different around him now, like the feeling she had in the past came though now. "She must be something then, if she caught your eye." she noted thinking back to the times when it seemed Edward wasn't even interested in meeting a girl.
"She is a special girl." he responded nodding as she backed away swept up by the crowd. Maybe there was a sense of longing that made her personalty change so quickly, and just as they talked she turned back into the girl at the party not wanting to be there, and she was nervous, she would be blushing if she could, but mostly overcome with feelings she thought that had dissapeared. She brushed off the thoughts quickly, now that she was on his radar she would need to control her thoughts while around him.
Bella Swan. She said searching the other students heads for her name seeing what came to mind. She saw a accident prone girl almost getting hit by a van, then getting injured months later. Some of their memories of her were brief, others were in depth and they knew more details on the topic of Bella. She walked into her next class doing her usual thing, getting the teacher to sign her slip then she spotted the chocolate haired girl. Thing was she saw her, didn't hear her. That made her mind do back flips, she couldn't hear the girls thoughts like the countless amount of other people that she heard on a regular basis.
She frowned in confusion, her head had a shield almost against her trying to weasel her way inside. But that was impossible, she had a few others that their head was hard to crack into like it took a bit of persuasion just to let her in but this girl, had either the largest amount of layers in the world, or simply wasn't letting her in.
This was one of the many complex things about her talent, some thought she immediately got into everyone's head with just her focusing in on them but that wasn't always the case. Sometimes she had to wiggle her way inside, with constant poking and prodding. She described it as picking a lock almost. You had to find your way into the more complex ones while some just popped open like a book. The more secrets the stronger the shield or at least that was what she got from her experience.
These were the most interesting to her though, so she was determined to get inside of her head. She had to be hiding something inside of that cranium of hers and she was going to get inside. So she slipped into her chair behind Bella and trying to pry open her mind. It was a hefty task trying to get her mind open and it would be one for the course of the next few months. But she enjoyed challenges and this would be a fun one.
