More Than Us
Prologue
Paige sighed as she shifted in her seats. She was sitting in class, another boring lecture from her teacher about…well, something. If you asked her, she couldn't tell you because she was far-gone. At her old school, she would've been staring at the clock by now, because it felt like this class must be over by now. However, at this new school, there were no clocks anywhere in the classes. Paige wasn't sure if this made time seem to move slower or faster, but either way she didn't like it. Her mind started to drift to her good friends, Anthony, Juliet and Emma, who she knew were just down the hall. Lucky for Juliet and Emma, they were in a class together. And Anthony…well, he just made friends wherever he went. Her thoughts were suddenly disrupted by the teacher dismissing the class. She put on her sunglasses and she got up, and walked out of the classroom.
Emma and Juliet stood outside their classroom, talking about their last class.
"He so likes you!" said Juliet.
"Uhm, no, no he doesn't." replied Emma.
"Does
so!"
"No!"
"Yes!"
"Well, why were you the one staring at him so much then?"
"Was
not!"
"Oh, you were so staring at him!"
"No,
that was you!"
"You were doing it too!"
"No I
wasn't!"
"Yes, you were!"
"You both were." Said a voice suddenly, and they turned around to see a smiling boy with thick brown hair. Emma slapped him, or so she thought, but her hand went right through him, like he was thin air.
"I told you not to slap me!" Said the same voice, but from behind them. There stood Anthony, bring a hand up to Emma's forehead.
"Anthony, the only reason I did that was because I knew it wasn't the real you, just a psychic projection of yourself!" said Emma, trying to reason with him.
"A slap is a slap, my girl, and maybe now you'll learn how to control yourself…" he said, touching her forehead.
"You can't do anything to my mind! The…the…professor wouldn't approve!" she stammered out.
"He'd never know." Anthony replied and closed his eyes in concentration. Then he burst out laughing.
"What!" said Emma, wondering what he saw.
"I can't believe you actually thought I'd do something to your mind! Oh my goodness, you should've seen your face!" he said between laughs. Emma glared hard at Anthony, while Juliet started laughing as well.
"Yeah, he'd never read your mind, then he'd have dirty thoughts for once!" she said, laughing.
"I think my thoughts would do more damage to Anthony's clean mind, to be honest." Said Paige, coming up to the group with a laugh.
"About time you got here." Said Emma.
"Yeah I can see I missed a lot…are you guys ready to go?" she asked.
"What makes you the leader of this team? I should be in control!" said Anthony.
"It's the sunglasses. Now let's get going, team." Paige said and walked down the hall, with the other three closely behind them.
