more to book!

A Home Far Away continues! read my other post before this so you know what is happening!



CH. 3
“Ding-dong” the door bell rang. I ran toward the door as fast as I could.I hope it is Andrew! I opened the door.

Hello tall dark and handsome. I said in my brain.
He smiled really big. And he started to blush. Did I say that out loud …no I could not have.
“You ready Hannah?”

“Yup, let’s go!”

He had brought his car. I hopped in and he start to heed for the mall.
I looked behind me. His sister Bailee had come. Ohh I really hopped it was just me and him. Andrew gave me a glance like he could not believe what I just said. But I had said nothing. This guy is scaring me.

“Sorry, I don’t mean to.”
My head shot up from my feet.

“What did you just say?”

“Sorry, I don’t mean to scare you.”

“Oh my gosh! Then I am not crazy!” I was so scared! I don’t know what to do.

Woh, calm down. It’s ok. I m not going to hurt you!”

“How can you do that?!”

“Read minds?”

“Yes!!!”

“Well, I can’t tell you. You would freak out and I think you would die, seriously. If you freak out just because I can read minds then, wow! But look at me! You must swear on your life you won’t tell a soul!”

“I knew this would happen!” shouted Bailee. “Now she is going to want to know why you have the ability to read minds and she is going to snoop around and figure it out!”

“Hannah, you won’t will you?”
“I don’t know. Why can’t you tell me why you have this ability?!”

“SEE! I knew she would tell!”


“I am really sorry but I can’t tell you. I can only tell you if I knew you well. And could trust you. And know you won’t freak out.”

“Just tell me one thing…did you hear everything I said about you?”

Haha! Ya, thank you.” Ha said while smoothing back his hair, and lifting one eye brow.

“Gosh that is the most embarrassing thing ever!” I looked over to Bailee.

“Can you read minds too!?”

“No, she can’t.”
Bailee’s eyes fell to the floor. She quickly changed the subject.

“So how about we hit the mall then?”

I looked at Andrew. I can’t think in front of him.

“I want to go home…please.” I said.

Andrew turned really red and his eyes swelled.

“I am sorry. Let’s go, I will take you home.” He said gently.

“Don’t tell though!!” Bailee yelled.

“I know, I won’t, not that anyone would believe me anyways.”

****
“What’s the matter with you?” Bailee said while drinking from here lemonade she had just made.

“Nothing, I am fine.” Andrew said looking at the ground.

“You don’t hide your emotions well! Especially since you’re a—“

“I know! Don’t rub it in!”

“Rub it in?! I would love to have what you have! You’re so lucky!”

“Please! If you want my “condition”, take it!”


“But why are you gloomy?”

“I…its complicated.”

“Tell me!”

“I’m in love with her!”

“What! You have only known the girl for like 2 days!”

“Love comes fast when you have my “condition”…and it’s rare. So if I like this girl its special!”

“You can’t like her though! You know what will happen!”

“I know! That’s why it is complicated.”



***

Read minds? This does not make sense! Plus he won’t even tell me why he has this “power”!
I can’t be friends with someone that can’t tell me everything! But then again he said he would tell me if I were his friend…I guess I will just have to be his friend…but I can’t think in front of him, so I will be a no thinker friend! That sounds great! Ahh! What should I do! I have to figure out some way so he can’t read my brain, then we can become friends.
