Dedicated to Tselot123 for loving this story as much as I have for the past four years.

" You know you could at least pretend like you like him." Noah's whispers fill the corridor .
" What?" I turn around " I don't know what you're talking about ." I lie straight to his face and turn to walk away when
" He knows it too ... And it pains him to see that you have no interest in seeing him around, he notices the scowl that etches your face whenever he attempts to make jokes at dinner , and the way your face twists just like it takes every will in your bones just to be seating in the same room as him. That's why he isn't home most of times ya know ? He knows how you feel so he keeps away . Birthdays,Holidays.. Whatever he doesn't show up because he knows you'll act like that if he's around . It hurts him - so he doesn't come."  He leans onto his door frame eyeing me up carefully . How he knew all of this I had no idea ? And I didn't know if that was what my father really felt or of it was something he made up right in the spot. Maybe I should've used my own abilities to check if they were true , but I couldn't risk revealing my capability to a stranger . I kept a mental note to do so next time i see the man.
But more than anything ,I dreaded the fact that what he spoke about me was true . Every word . 

"How do you know all this?" He smiled at me and tapped his head.
It wasn't the true meaning of what he did that shocked me , it was the palms carefully caressing my mind that I felt before I saw.
Thoughts.
Thousands and thousands of thoughts and memories filed and stacked in every corner of my mind ;and I felt them more than I saw them .
I had done this many times before , I've read many , many minds before but the clarity hasn't been this powerful . It was like holding a big round puddle of water and balancing it in your palm.  The feeling was exquisite; but this time it wasn't me that was holding my mind it was him, it was Noah . And I was watching him from outside like my body never existed to my self.
No - I was watching me , through his  eyes .
He jumps out of me a soon as he realises what I have done
" How did you ?" He asks" How did you do that?"  Stumbling over words.
I turn to my bed room " Don't ever say word about this! Don't ask me anything , Don't talk about it in front of ANYONE! Do you hear me ? And don't you  Ever ! try to do what you did again." I stalk off without even another glance to his direction.

He was like me .
He had the abilities too.
And he's here.
