Dylan's POV :

I smashed water on my face for the fifth time.

I'm so sleepy! *sobs*

I wiped water from my face and heard shouts coming from our neighbouring house. It made me giggle.

I put cheese on toasts for breakfast.

First day of high school!

******

I drove the car right into the parking lot and smashed the door as I came out. Three girls were quarrelling ahead of me. I recognised two of them at first looks and walked past them.

Somehow I found my way to physics class. I sat on the table next to a girl chewing gum. She smiled at me, and I tried to put a smile on too. The class began, and the lesson seemed to stretch on and on. Mr Denver's cracking voice made it impossible to understand anything and made it all soo sleepy that.....

"You! Over there"

The sudden voice made my eyes open wide...

"Me?"

"Yeah you!", he said "Stand up"

I stood up.

And he started teaching again.

What the f*

Do I have to keep standing??

Finally, the bell rang.

At lunch, the bubble gum girl came and sat in front of me.

"New guy?"

I nodded.

"I'm Cilisity"

I put some french fries in my mouth.

"Dylan"

"We're together in physics"

"Yeah, I saw you"

When she was sure that I'm not having an outstanding day and she should go, she stood up.

"I think I should go. By the way, there's a party at my place on Saturday. Hope to see you there"

Okayyy!

I spent most of my extra time in the library going through a book on ancient things, stories and stuff like that. When I got so sleepy to read any more of the book, I got up and-

THUD...

"Watch where you're going"

"I'm really sorry"

On a closer look, I recognised her. She was one of my neighbours I met the other day. She was holding a pile of books, which were now on the floor with her, and she was putting them in their respective places.

I held my hand down.

"Thank you", she said sarcastically and aggressively stood up by herself. Giving one last look, she quickly picked up the books and moved towards another shelf.

***

A slight feeling crept on my neck, and I shook it away.

Why were you looking at her like that?

Shut the f* up... I wasn't...

My thoughts were interrupted right in the middle.

.....and you see me holding up my middle finger to the world...

...cause I'm not just a pretty gi-

"RACHEL! Can you pick up your goddamn phone?," I barked loudly.

"Yeah, I was just going to"

"And change that ringtone. It's disturbing me"

"Mhmm"

Oh, God!

***

I closed my eyes, lying on my bed hoping to dream something superb.

My dream had just started when some voices started speaking up in my mind.

Shut up, your stupid voices!

But when they didn't stop, I started concentrating on what was really being said.

'...my world's so boring...I'll call over Elen tomorrow.....and maybe I should make casseroles for dinner. Elen loves them.....'

Who's Elen?

And who's thoughts am I invading?

***

It was a tiring night. Whosoever's thoughts I was invading. That person talked a lot. It seemed like she was a girl.

Girls talk a lot!

Rachel, too, had been on a phone call all the evening, making my ears itch. I made myself coffee cause it was too early to get ready for school. Sipping it, I went to the balcony. Looking around, I saw Ena. For the first time, I saw both of our balconies were almost joining. The balconies were so close that we could easily touch each other. But right now she wasn't standing at my side of the balcony. Her hair flowed in the light breeze. She looked so innocent-

Stop!

My mind kept talking to itself all day.

She realised my presence and started walking towards me.

"Hey"

"Hi"

"I'm sorry for yesterday", she looked confused and didn't understand what was I talking about so I made it clear, "At the library"

"Oh, it's okay. I was just kind of.. mmm.. in a nasty mood at that time."

I smiled.

"So are you living here from-"

"No, no. I just moved here a few years back"

"So where do your parents live?"

"It's just my mum, actually. She lives in Elanda"

"Sorry to hear that"

"Where do your parents live?"

"Far from here. My dad left us actually-"

"I'm so-"

"No, I didn't mean that. They got separated... I mean like.."

"I understand"

Thank you... You did!

***

The school was exhausting today. Mr Denver gave me extra homework today.

I was standing on the balcony again when I heard our neighbouring house's balcony door shut. It was Ena again. She didn't notice me until I called her.

"Hey Ena"

She looked at me with her pretty blue eyes.

Oh, shut up. Don't say that you-

"I was just thinking if you could... Ummm..."

"What?"

"If you could help me in physics"

I hoped for a straightforward no, but the reply came out to be positive.

"Sure. Why not?"

***

I made her a cup of cappuccino, and she loved it.

"Oh wow. How do you make it? Mine sucks"

I laughed. She joined in too.

She spent the evening explaining things and talking about this and that. Some things about her past and personal life. And so did I.

After she left, I went to take a shower. The icy water made me feel cosy, and a little relaxed. I wrapped a towel around my naked body and went into my room. I saw Rachel sitting on my bed and examining the mess I had created on it. Books lying carelessly. A cup of coffee that had toppled some coffee on the clean sheets. Bits of cheese crackers.

"Who was here?"

"Ena"

"Our neighbour?"

I nodded.

... your stare was holding...

... ripped jeans skin was showing... hot nig-

"What the- Can you stop putting these awkward ringtones?"

"Later. Excuse me for now"

I sighed.

This was the second time. During my sleep, the voices woke me again. I had no choice but just to listen to what they were saying this time.

'... mama isn't feeling well and I'm sitting right here doing nothing. I should go, but it's too hard to leave school. What should I do? And...'

What that person said next made me some kind of sure who's thoughts I was invading. It made me want to hear more of those voices. But they just vanished with the wind that blew.
