My name is Sailor. I am sixteen years old. And I have a secret. Only, I don't even know my own secret--yet. I keep hearing things...things in my mind. I can't help but feel that they aren't my thoughts or feelings. I can only think of one explanation, but I don't want to say it aloud. Can you guess my secret? Chapter 1: Mindgames I feel a cool breeze. It blows my blonde hair back behind me. The grass between my toes tickles as I continue to walk through the park. I stop suddenly as I hear something..."Those pesky dogs, digging up my garden..." The voice is not mine, and it is echoing in my mind. I look over to my right to see an old lady in her lawn shaking her head at some crushed flowers. I frown to myself as I begin to walk again. As I walk through the park, I continue to hear weird voices inside my head. "Gotta find some nuts! Gotta find some nuts!" I hear in a high-pitched squeak. I jerk my head to my left to see a squirrel running around a tree, occasionally stopping to dig. My head starts to spin as millions of voices crowd into my brain at once. I can't see as I fall to the ground. I hear a person yelling as I pass out. I only remember a soothing hand stroking my cheeks.


I open my eyes to see a fire blazing. I start to panic as I realize it is only a fireplace. I sit up and look at my surroundings. I am in a house. A house I don't recognize. I rub my eyes and I get up. I am about to walk around when my legs give way and I stumble. I fall but someone catches me. A boy. About my age, black hair, brown eyes. He smiles at me and helps me sit back down on the couch. "You okay? You took quite a fall earlier." he says sitting down next to me. "Yeah...who are you?" I ask, confused. "John," he says handing me a cup of tee. I take into my cold hands and take a sip. So far so good, no voices. But as soon as I think that, I hear something: "She's so pretty..." That sounds like John... I can't tell if he said it out-loud or not. His lips didn't move...maybe I'm seeing things. "Thanks." He looks at me, confused. "What?" "Thanks for calling me pretty." I smile weakly. "H-how did you do that?" he asks, backing away from me. "I don't know what you're talking about!" I exclaim. "You read my mind! Are you some kind of witch?" he smiles awkwardly, but I can tell he's scared. "No...I don't know how I did it..." He shakes his head. "Never-mind. So what's your name?" he asks me. "Sailor. Sailor Tucker." I say smiling for real this time. He smiles a beautiful smile. I look into his brown eyes. I blush as he looks into mine. He seems to notice, and looks down into his own cup of tea. I take a sip of mine and look into the fire. "I better get going...my mom will be worried about me!" I say standing up. I wobble a little, but I manage to walk to the front door. John follows me and opens the front door. "Can I walk you home?" he asks shyly. "I hope she likes me..." I hear in an echo. I smile and blush. "Sure." We arrive at my house soon enough, and I introduce him to my mom. "Ooh! Sailor! You didn't tell me you had a boyfriend!" my mother says happily. My face turns bright red and John smiles at me. "Mooooom! He's not my boyfriend!" I say awkwardly. She looks sorry but she gives me that "look" that mothers give when they know something. "I'm so sorry, John!" I say smiling at him, my face still red. He winks at me when my mom looks away. "That's okay, I don't mind." There I go again, all the blushing. "I wonder if they'll go to prom together!" I hear my mother's voice in my head. I chuckle to myself and say good-bye to John. But not before my mom invites him for dinner. Gosh! She must think I like him! Well...I guess I do... Soon dinner is over and I say good-bye to John. When he leaves, I find myself wishing the night would end so I could see him again. I think I finally found my Prince Charming.
