Over Matter 30

Virginia


It was official: Cindy was not only after me, but anyone I was close to.  After the incident with the old milk in Dakota's locker, she told me that all her desks in each of her classes had the backs of her chair removed! And it wasn't only Dakota. Stephanie had also be became a target for Cindy. When I met up with her, Stephanie told me that all the photos in her photography class were exposed to light and ruined. Stephanie also felt that this was Cindy's doing. This whole thing was making me feel like shit. As if it wasn't bad enough that Cindy was going after me, she now had to ruin the lives of the two people closest to me. I felt like this was all my fault, and I had no idea how to fix this.

So, once I got home, I did what I would always do, when I felt like complete shit: go straight down to my room, change into my pajamas, and(in between people coming down to do laundry) use my telekinesis to change the channels on the TV. While laying in bed, wishing everything would just be normal, I suddenly remembered something. I don't know why I thought about it, but I reached into the backpack I left on the floor next to my bed, and take out the book that Joe lent me. It still amazed me that he liked all this paranormal stuff. I wonder how he would react to my ability. Would he think that I was the coolest thing ever, or would it terrify him?

This also reminded me of Friday.  Should I go out with him?  Would this be a date?  What would he think of my preference? Well, by the way he would constantly eat and how much weight he gained, it didn't seem too concerned about his size. Maybe, if things went well, maybe I could feel how soft his belly was. Maybe he would like me to feed him. Maybe he would be open to putting on more weight. Wait! What the fuck was I thinking about? Even if he was okay with my obsession with the softer body-type, there was still the very good chance he would be scared off by my psychic powers. What am I gonn...

My thoughts were interrupted by a buzzing sound that was coming out of my backpack.  I reach back in, and pull out my cell phone. I checked to see who it was, and the number looked familiar.
VIRGINIA= "Hello?"
STEPHANIE= "Hey, Virginia."
VIRGINIA= "Oh, hey Stephanie!  You need more help with Biology homework?"
STEPHANIE= "No.  I just...*sigh*...I just wanted to make sure you got home safely."
VIRGINIA= "Oh.  Thanks.  I did, by the way."
STEPHANIE= "Good.  I'm just worried about what Cindy's gonna do to you.  Virginia, I really tried talking to her yesterday, and, it really didn't go as planned. I apologize for that."
VIRGINIA= "Don't.  You were only trying to help."
STEPHANIE= "Yeah, but I ended up making things worse."

VIRGINIA= "Stephanie, if this is making you upset, we don't have to talk about it.  Is there anything else you want to talk about?"
STEPHANIE= "Well, kinda.  Are you going out with Joe, Friday?"  Shit!
VIRGINIA= "Um, I don't know.  I really want to get to know him better, but I really don't want to upset and worry my niece."
STEPHANIE= "Wow, that sucks.  Well, maybe there's a way to do both?  Does Dakota have any plans on Friday."
VIRGINIA= "Yeah, she has soccer practice.  Why is that important?"
STEPHANIE= "Because you don't have to tell her anything!  You can go on your date with Joe while Dakota's at soccer practice. Just get you're brother and sister-in-law to keep it a secret."
VIRGINIA= "You think that'll work?"
STEPHANIE= "It's worth a shot.  So, what do you think?"
