Mika The Mind Reader

I was walking down the street my shopping bags swaying from side to side. When I walked into yet another mall to do some damage, when my head started to hurt. Oh no not again! I started to hear voices all around me I was getting dizzy! I quickly ran to the bathroom. I knew everyone was staring. When I ran into the bathroom and the voices stopped suddenly.

Well I guess I could say I have a normal life but I would be lying. You see those voices were peoples thoughts. I walked out of the bathroom tucking my blonde hair behind my ears. Do you ever have that feeling that everyone just got done talking about you? Well I had that feeling.

Then I ran into a wall, or what I thought was a wall. I lost my balance, but I felt a strong arm grip my back. I regained my vision and opened my eyes.

“Hiroshi?” I said feeling my head. Hiroshi was a guy at my school who I liked, but was way out of his league. He had dark black hair that shinned bright and deep blue eyes.

“Hi Mika, you drooped your bags. Where is the fire any ways?” He handed me my bags and my face felt like IT was on fire.

“OH yeah um I was late to meet Toni,” I lied. Toni was my best friend who was beautiful but totally clueless about guys, so the boys don’t even bother.

“Oh ok well I’ll umm se you in school then. Bye,” Hiroshi said turning and waving.

“Yeah bye,” I said felling like a complete idiot.

I turned only to see Hana, the biggest prep and most popular girl at Tosho academy, my school. I almost ran into her but stopped just in time.

“What where you doing talking to Hiroshi?” she said putting one of her hands on her hip and used the other to point at me.

Hana liked Hiroshi too. I didn’t even have to try reading her mind, because her mouth is her mind. She is always around him pleading to everyone that they had a relationship and that he is just shy about admitting it. Yeah right, he hated the girl.

“Nothing I dropped my lipstick and he was returning it,” I lied.

I looked into her eyes and the heard ‘I better keep an eye on this one, Hiroshi just might like her! What am I saying he could never like her! I he likes any one it’s me!’ That’s what Hana is thinking?

“Whatever, let’s go Kalmia, Kita, and Kara,” Hana and her wanna-bes walked toward the food court.

Ok that was weird. I walked out the door. I think I have had enough shopping for one day. I was walking home when a car came beside me. I looked to find Hiroshi.

“Did I drop another bag?” I asked stopping.

“No. Do you have a car?”

“No.”

“Do you want a ride home?”

Huh? Did I hear right? What do I say?

“Sure,” I heard myself say. Looks like my mouth went faster than my brain.

“Ok hop in,” He said.

I walked over to the car and lifted the handle on the door. I got in and put my bags on my lap. I shut the door and put on my seatbelt.

“Where is your house?” He said looking at me.


“On Taka Mari Avenue,” I said looking forward not being able to look at him.

“Ok,”

He started to drive, and there was an awkward silence the thing I hate the most. His hand griped the steering wheel. He didn’t like it either. ‘Ok, stay cool your just giving her a ride nothing more. Right?’ Did she hear his thoughts right? It always happens at the wrong time but today it was good.

“Turn Right there,” I said pointing down a street.

He turned the car and looked ahead talking. Ok I was going to try to read his mind again. I looked into his eye and concentrated as best I could. Not that there was any since it was dead silent. ‘OK! OK! What do I do? I mean does she like me or what UHHHHH.’

Hey I did it! He likes me! This is so cool! We were coming up on Taka Mari Avenue. He turned and stopped at a stop sign.

“So Which one is your house?” He asked driving on.

“That one,” I said pointing to a yellow house with wind chimes everywhere.

“Ok,” He said quietly.


He pulled into the driveway and I opened the car door.

“Thanks for the ride,” I said grabbing my bags.

“Um hey Mika,”

“Yeah?”

“You wanna um go out sometime,” he said looking away.

Oh my gosh!! “Um, yeah of course,” I said smiling.

He looked at me this time. “Great! Well I’ll se you in school.”

He drove off, and I unlocked the door and walked in. I walked into the living room to find Masuko, my little sister. I’m 16 and she’s 14. She was watching T.V. like a mindless zombie.

I was walking toward the stairway when she turned and said “Hey Mika, who was the hot guy in the Saturn?”

“Hiroshi a guy from my school,”

I started walking up the stairs when she said “He asked you out didn’t he?”


“How did you know?”

“Hello? I can read minds too remember?”

She was right. Masuko and I are somewhat physics in a way except we can’t se the future. It’s weird because we are the only ones in our family who can do that. But we were adopted, and we have never seen our parents.

“You know you can’t go out with him without him finding out about the fact that we can read minds,” Masuko said turning back to the T.V.

“Just worry about frying your brain watching the T.V. and I’ll worry about MY personal life,” I said stepping up the stairs. She was right.

“Damn right I’m right,” Masuko said with a smirk.

I started to think real hard and she started to yell real loud because I was thinking too much. “Don’t say that word.”

I walked up the stairs smiling. What was I going to do? He will find out for sure. The only people we have told about our secret are our foster Mom and Dad, and Toni my best friend.
