Movies

2 posts in one day! but it was early! i also saw 2 movies in one day! Avatar and Nine, it was no Chicago but i will be buying the DVD i think that the songs were great! and the acting! i was never crazy about Kate Hudson before this but she can sing! i enjoyed Avatar for it's effects, cutting edge! i guess we know what movie will win best visual effects at the Oscars! But it's not the kind of thing i'll want to watch on DVD, it might have beaten Nine at the box-office but for me Nine will be a cult classic! it has al the makings, Avatar will go down in history but Nine will be favored by me!

well that was a pointless post on a blog no-one reads!

Never look back

Theres a reason my parents told me never to talk to strangers, but there's also a reason why i don't tell my parents what i did on certain days, cos sometimes thats all i do: talk to strangers. But some strangers are only there for the people you already know.

Annette doesn't blame me, she knows that her gymnastics is a small price for Lucas's life.

you know i was friends with him once? actually best friends but you know how it goes when you're 14 and you change your outlook and you start to see something else in your friends. in short: in the end i didn't really like my friends, thats how i became friends with Annette and got into dancing and music. Lucas got into his goth and dark sorcery and what not. we drifted. he was so nice and funny, i don't want to sound self absorbed but did i have that effect on everyone when i stopped hanging out with them? he's getting his help and Annette's family isn't pressing charges.

Mike, Annette and i went out for a slushie, they're the only ones who know about my power and i want to keep it that way. we sat down in the booth, we careful about Annette's leg of course. We sat in a booth next to the window, i was taken of guard when Lucas walked in, i instinctively averted my eyes, as did Annette (she forgave him but was still uncomfortable with him), Mike also picked a spot out the window and focused on it.

i read Luc's thoughts.

'i'm so sorry Annette, thats all you have to say- why did you even bother to get out a gun? why didn't you just walk out, and go home you could OD you could run away! no-one would have missed you! i need to say sorry, no she deserves more than a sorry, she deserves levity'

i wasn't sure what Lucas was going to do but i did know that he was not the kind of person who did things for no reason, i had to follow him, when he left i would. he sat as far away from us as possible, which wasn't very far, it was a very small cafe.

"we can go some where else if you want" Mike said, he was a good friend

"no" Annette shook her head "i'll be back at school next week and he'll be there, i may as well get used to it now"

"we don't have to stay, i know you don't blame him, if Jane hadn't stopped him from doing it he would be dead, but none the less it was his fault" he may be a good friend but Mike could be insensitive.

we sat there in relative silence except for the odd grown of brain freeze and the ordering of more drinks, then Mike left to go to the mall to buy a new jacket. Annette called a cab to get home while i sat there. Lucas hadn't moved it was like he was in a trance, or doing something that required no worded thoughts, he was concentrating but not a word had gone through his mind in a half hour.

he got up and walked dizzily to the door, as if sitting in that corner had drained his energy but i suppose there is an art to sitting still. i got up, and walked behind him, i made no sound, i was light on my feet.

we had come to his street now, it was dirt road with few houses but lots of land. he entered a fallen in one, through the window even though it had no door. i looked through the window, his back was to me.

"you night want to leave now" he said, i stayed silent

"i said leave," he still didn't turn around

"i want to help"

"you wanna help? where were you 3 years ago?"

"i-"

"with your shallow friends and lame boyfriends, you never helped, you never raised a hand to stop those jocks from stuffing me in a trash can or beating me up! you were queen! the only reason you want to help now is because your popularity has been flushed since you were considered responsible for Annette's knee by the whole school! i can't get a single thought! just go!"

"you heard him just go" said a voice behind me, that strong stench of alcohol was suffocating, i turned around, it was grungy man, clearly drunk enough to not know what he's doing but not drunk enough to miss a punch. "if you don't go girly it will be a very big shame, well for you're parents at least"

"what?" i breathed he was so close i could tell the size of his shirt, he grabbed my wrist. hard, i yelped in pain, and tried to run, but he had me, i fought and tried to control his mind to no avail. i could tell i was in trouble, i closed my eyes, he came near me, but i felt nothing, he had let go, the alcohol breath was gone, i opened my eyes, he was gone.

i turned around Lucas stood there, fear and protectiveness in his eyes, he had his arms stretched out, their was some kind of green gas surrounding his hands, he lowered his arms the gas disappearing, i looked at the ground where the man i'm sure was Mr Richards was, it was damp and had small bubbles coming off of it, it may not have been weird for it to damp but it hadn't rained for weeks!

"are you okay?" he asked me, he climbed through the window. i hugged him tightly, i felt so completely safe with him.

"thank you" i said

"you're so very welcome" he said, hugging me back, we ran off, we could hear sirens in the distance, someone had called the cops, and how could we explain what had happened? we wrote a note saying that Lucas had ran away, so that they'd assume that Mr. Richards had gone after him.

we ran back to town, and didn't stop until we got to my street, my parents were away for the week, so Lucas would stay with me.

4 times i knew a secret and one time a didnt

the first time was when I was tasked by my PE teacher to choreograph the cheerleaders, a few of them were what they call, rhythmically challenged, while i was choreographing those voices kicked in, and if i didn't know any better i'd almost think that they were the cheerleaders thoughts! one of them (Sarah Solomon) was thinking about why Missy Lions is always on top of the pyramid, then i had this off thought, go and ask her and if she says: "cos i'm better than you" then start cat fighting her"

then she did it. it was amazing she stopped dancing and went over to her the next thing i know she's doing it! it was strange to think that i'd done that. i couldn't have though! at least that was my thought then. i had no idea those cheerleaders actually had the brains to feel jealous of Missy Lions!

the second time was while i was looking at Mike Reynolds (the hottest guy in school) during Math, it was after his football practice so he looked all hot sweaty and stuff, then IT kicked in and ruined every fantasy i ever had about him, he was thinking:
"god Jake Stiles looked hot today! i mean he was hot hot! in the locker room especially, good thing i adjusted my pants!" then he laughed out loud. i don't believe it!!! this was... wow! i told Annette and she said that i was crazy.
"if he were straight then he would have no problem talking with US cause we are kinda hot i mean you're a gymnast and i'm a dancer! but if he's gay then he'll do anything to get off the subject of anything related to those big manly things like Linkin Park, and he'll engage in actual conversation with us about dresses!"
"we'll see!" Annette was so sure she was right, but i was right. he is now a great friend, we only now about his little secret but still...

the third time i knew a secret was when i was in detention for pulling ACCIDENTALLY breaking the blind in English. the happiest teacher in the whole world (Mr. Day) was sitting there looking depressed, then i decided that i did want to know whats wrong, maybe i could help. turns out his divorce was just finalized and he lost everything and is living out of a suitcase. i cant help.

the forth was at a local gymnastics competition, i was there to watch Annette and give her moral support, then i found out that her mother and father had bet that she'd lose to Kazino Kareniki from Japan! i didn't know if should tell her or not, i mean her parents did need the money but Annie is my best friend! i left it and she won, her mom and dad lost a lot of money but i convinced a rich fat cat to give me 1000 big ones, i used my mind power, yep i'm sure that its a mind power!

the one time i didn't: was when i was sitting a test in math, this test would make or break me, then the weird, emo and depressed kid, Lucas Richards stood up, tears in his eyes, this is unfair i didn't eve study i couldn't! with you f*cking idiots sending me to the councilor every day! and with those people at home! i'll fail anyway why even bother testing me!?" he grabbed a gun from his pocket and held it up to his head, "why the hell should i keep going cos all you idiots want to do is give me someone to talk to!? i was fine till i talked! now you all send me to her? i don't need help! i just want to be left alone!"
"stop!" i yelled
"what Janie? huh?" he still had the gun in his hand, "you cant stop me, you and your perfect dancing and singing, in the end it's all gonna be gone and as long as you know it's gonna end,why begin? why keep going cos the second you slip up people think you need help!"
"you are a good guy Lucas, you're smart and have dark humor that makes me laugh in when its not a good time, no-one wants you to do this" i should have seen it the signs, the mind reading i did! i never bothered to read his?
'dont do it, put the gun down' i chanted in my mind.
BANG!!!! it was deafening, he had dropped the gun, he listened to me! but it fired.
"ARRRGHGHGHG!" screamed Annie, the bullet had got her square in the knee.
that knee would take a while to heal and she wouldn't be able to do gymnastics again, her talents wasted. all because i ignored the emo.

Strange

Hi my name is Jane Robertson and my life is like any normal teenage girls i go to school, i'm an average student, in fact i'm average at everything in my life. the only thing i'm not average at is music, singing dancing playing music, etc. i've noticed something peculiar as of late though, i hear voices in the library and no-one talks in there! the librarian Ms. Goods is CRANKY as!!!!! i hear things i'm not supposed to, i know things i wouldn't know in a million years!!! i live in Alabama in a small town that isn't even worth mentioning, but being a 17 year old animal rights activist who listens to musicals and depressing music in equal turns i dont mention much stuff.

so anyway i'm trying to get a music scholer ship to Vince Lombardi boarding school but my parents are so afraid to let me go anywhere they're afraid i'll forget them (i'm adopted ya see) and they think that the second i meet my real parents (i don't want to anyway but try telling them that!) i'll leave them and not call. anyway its weird, i'm here cos my friend Annette (she's a gymnast) suggested this, she says that alot of people seemingly experience this stuff and they might know something if you do leave a comment.
