On a mundane day, I woke up and realized I can hear everyone’s inner voice. The penny dropped a bit late than should have and before that I severed through major headaches as if I were a chronical migraine patient. I guess I forgot to introduce myself. I am Mohammad Lee II. I go to Dawn High School where I am the first of my class. My hobbies include math problem solving, Greek Mythology, underwater hockey and playing piano to prop up my motto. I believe everyone should be honest and show real hate rather than a fake smile to each other. Where was I… Oh yeah! I was going to tell you about my first day as a mind-reader.
I woke up to the sound of my mum complaining about getting up early and having to wake me up. Although this felt strange, my mum never complains about anything “She has nerves made of steel.” I always say. Later, I heard my neighbour singing “A Lovely Night” by Justin Hurwitz, although he was the type of neighbour that would usually frown. “What a strange day…” I thought. But when I thought it, my voice echoed in my head. I didn’t think about it much and continued listening to W.A.S.P., the on-brand band, and got on the car. After I heard my mum worrying about me going to high school younger than expected, I had to walk past the ladies’ gang that actually didn’t resemble much of a “lady” “But who does…?” I thought (again with an echo accompanying). Just as I was walking by, I heard a voice -a feminine voice although it makes me recall a masculine voice- it said: “Oh my gosh! He is so nice! How do I approach him?”. It first came to me as a joke but then, I did hear many voices combined with it, so I didn’t think much of it. Just when I stepped inside the school, a loud noise greeted me. It was if I started hearing everyone’s voice… But eventually I got in my class, prep E. As all eyes staring at me, I got overwhelmed by all the noises and the next thing I know, I am at the infirmary getting an adrenaline shot. At that moment I realised that something was wrong. I decided if this inexplicable situation continues, life would be unbearable.
A few days and severe headaches later, I figured out that I could hear people’s inner thoughts. Now, I found out how to switch it on and off. But the whole world turned upside-down when I heard a clinging sound coming from the kitchen. I courageously walked in and found a being that later would change all my life in a positive way. And her name was… “Blanc” she said. She seemed to be aware of my ability, so she didn’t beat around the bush. She informed me through her thoughts while I gave feedback via speech. “What is this big, life changing event?” you may ask. And to briefly sum up, I was accepted to a league of these “Specially abled” youth. And my purpose in this “Institution” would be being the “Chief Strategist” if I would accept the position. I accepted the invitation without reluctancy. And Blanc told me training would start five a.m. tomorrow.
