I love you: You imagine hearing the words from someone not related to you, someone not your best friend, but when someone you love, someone you dream about, actually says them, it makes your body melt and your breath get caught in your chest.
No one was perfect. But we all did the best we could. I guessed you had to forgive when you could, move on when you couldn't, and love your family and friends for who they were instead of punishing them for who they weren't.
I love you." You imagine hearing the words from someone related not related to you, someone not your best friend, but when someone you love, you dream about, actually says them, it makes your body melt and your breath get caught in your chest. "You love me?" I asked, leaning toward him. He nodded. "Say it again" I said. I let my knee bump against his. "I love you," he repeated."
Why do you think people cheat?," I asked. "Because they're bored? Because they can? Because they're selfish and think they're entitled to anything they want? Because they don't think they'll get caught?"
Part of me could do it. Run off and get married. But another part... Another part of me wondered if I could really trust anyone. If all relationships were all doomed.
You don't just decide to have sex because you feel like having sex. You decide to have sex once you realize you're in love with someone and want to express that love physically.
That's our story. How we became a we. And that's what we are these day. A we. When you're a group that can hear each other's thoughts, the line between I and We gets kind of blurry.

What house do you belong to?" "Ravenclaw," I say. The clever one. The woman hands me the blue Ravenclaw scarf. "You're also kind of a Hufflepuff, don't you think?" Leela asks. "Hardworking, loyal . . . Although last night you were a total Gryffindor. So brave." "Maybe I'm Divergent," I say. I pose under the Platform 9 3/4 sign, point my wand, and smile for Leela's photo."
Although, if they did find out, then at least I wouldn't have to lie about it anymore. But I bet they'd be pretty freaked out. Maybe they would give the mirror away. Although it's bolted to the wall. If they couldn't get it off, maybe they would want to move. I'd have to go to another school. I bet Robin would miss me then. I hear another creak. The sound is coming from right next to my room. Which means it's my brother's door, and not my p..
We keep a safe distance. We only whisper. We duck into the shadows whenever Cinderella turns around. We're really good at this sneaky thing. I bet we could be spies when we grow up. We'd be the cool brother-and-sister team that gets to go to exotic
The school didn't want us mixing with the rest of the senior class. Which was ridiculous. We had ESP, not Ebola. A curriculum had been tailored just for us, to help us prepare for what lay ahead. Not that anyone knew what lay ahead. It's not like there had ever been an entire class of telepaths before. Yup.
Just to make sure it wasn't cancer. Or a heart attack. Or lymphangioleiomyomatosis. Which, sure, only affected one out of a million people, but it started with a cough, and if you were the one out of a million, then you were done-like-dinner within the year.
We don't have clairvoyance or precognition. At least, I don't. Does anyone else?" "I don't even know what those mean," Jordana said. "Telepathy is when you can hear other people's thoughts. Clairvoyance is when you are aware of something happening in another location. Precognition is when you can tell the future. And then there's telekinesis, which is when you can move objects with your mind." "No, I'm just having the first one," Tess said...
Oh, I can find Matt anywhere. I have perfect Matt-dar. I used to be able to spot him across campus in a group of a thousand. I'm like Edward sniffing out Bella. I'm a vampire. I can smell him in any room.
