She hoped that Aleko wouldn't try to connect with her mind again,
her powers had a flaw of letting people access her mind when she'd
already connected with them.
"P-Pleasedon'tsuckmyblood!" she stammered, seeming
genuinely scared. Yes, Katie wasn't the brightest bulb in the box.
Or even the second-brightest. Or third.
He didn't try to make the connection. Instead, he smiled at Katie
and laughed. "Awww, but your blood's probably as shiny as a
gemstone!" He pouted. "I'd love to seeeeeee ittttttt. And it
probably tastes so sweeetttt."

Priya sat outside the hotel, her hands folded in her lap. She
stared up at the clouded sky. The sun was nowhere in sight, not
even peeking between two clouds. It was just... fully overcast.
She shivered.
Was something happening?
Why did it feel like something terrible was about to happen?

"That's... an issue." Priya's face remained smooth, unchanged.

"I'm sorry if this seems silly to you, this whole
situation...but...I'm not like the rest of you. My mind works in a
different way. And this...is really hard to cope with. I hope you
understand."
"It's okay. I understand." Priya nodded. Her face softened a bit.
"I get it. So you like him?" she asked. "Are you afraid he'll
find... something you don't like in your head and that he won't
like you back?"

And yes, I'm scared he'll find something in my head.
He'll probably tease me for it. I need to hide from him..."
And I'll have to stop thinking about him. Because...he could be
listening. If you are listening, Aleko, you should shut up and stop
being such a....a...
Genya.
Don't you dare think the word.
Genya...
Stop.
He could be listening.
Don't you think it!

Cutie.
