Thinking Of You

A short story

 

 

Note: This book only portrays a small number of an average person’s thought process. The unuseful has been cut out to make it less confusing.

 

Key:

Julianna’s thoughts                                                                                           Spencer’s thoughts

Both of them thought simultaneously

Actions are always in Italics like so…                                                       and can be found on either side.

“Julianna’s words”                                                                                                “Spencer’s words”

 

 

 

 

 

I don’t know how much more of this I can take.

Just too much darkness.

I just feel so

alone

Wait, what. Is someone there? What just happened?

 

 

 

 

 

I think I’m going crazy.

 

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

 

Coffee, I need caffeine.

There we go. Perfect. I look fabulous! Now if only someone would notice!

Okay- ID, keys, aaaand phone. Good deal.

Counting her steps 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15…

Burrrr, you should have worn a scarf too, sweet cheeks.

But then I would be covering my chest.I like feeling big.

I’m glad Stephen Hall is closer than Johnson.

Ah, no one to get the door.

John Doe 6 feet back. I love reflections.

Opens the door and holds it open for John Doe.

You’re welcome for holding the door. Geez.

Sigh. I love the click of my heals in this Student’s Center.

They echo even when it’s full of people.

32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37,,......57 to go.

Oh, good. A line. Time to decide.

Spiced Chai or Vanilla Chai….

Hmmmm….. Spiced. Vanilla. Spiced. Vanilla.

Vanilla.

Mmmk. Vanilla.

“Hi, I’d like a Vanilla Chai, please.”

Holds student ID/meal card awkwardly for a second.

It’s a guy though. I don’t want him to think I’m hitting on him.

Puts the card down on the counter.

Picks up card

FINALLY, a girl that’s not ganna try to touch my hand when they give me their ID!

Poor guy gets hit on enough, I’m sure. He’s so hot. Okay, no focus.

Puts card back on the counter and smirks up at Julianna, making eye contact.

Smiles back and looks down and mumbles

“Thanks”

Huh, I don’t know why he did that. Not like people hit on me.

Probably wanting to make the point that he’s not into me.

You and the rest of the male population, buddy!

 

______________________________________________________________________________

MMmmm. Christmas in a cup. Spiced Chai or Vanilla?

“Spiced Chai this time or Vanilla?”

Wait, how’d he…. He remembered?!

Do I really get it that often?

Now I feel like I should get something completely different…

.but I want a Vanilla Chai.

I should have waited until someone else was working.

How does he remember me?

Is he trying to be employee of the month or something?

Whyyyyy is she just standing there?

Shoot, I freaked her out.

Well I can’t just walk away. I need to order something.

“No...I’ll have a Thin Mint Frappe, please.”

I don’t even want a Thin Mint. Stupid.

I can’t believe he did that. Why am I so upset?

What’s my problem? Calm down, Julianna. Calm down.

“Christmas in a cup. Cute name.”

Wait, did he just say something?

 

 

He’s not looking at me. I must have imagined it.

______________________________________________________________________________

Both Asleep

 

No, no, not again. Stop this. Wake up. Make it end.

Jolts awake.

Did I just yell out in my sleep? I hope I didn’t wake her up.

Why can’t I make this stop. Wake up.

It wasn’t real. It’s okay. You’re okay. You’re okay.

You’re okay. You’re okay. You’re okay.

You’re safe. It’s all okay.

It’s over. I’m safe. It’s okay.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thank you.

In Class

This class is the most boring Gen Ed ever.

Tell me about it.

Why do we even have to take it, anyway?

And why does the prof always have a mug of coffee for each hand?

You know your class is boring when you have to have that much caffeine!

I wonder what he would do if we all showed up with two cups full of coffee next week.

“Haha!”

Oh my gosh did that guy just laugh out loud? He’s probably on facebook.

*GASP* I can’t believe I just did that.

How embarrassing.

In their separate dorm rooms

Okay, so I need to finish this paper before three so I can

have Sarah proofread it before tomorrow.

So…..

I can apparently hear your thoughts….I guess. Wow that sounded dumb!

 

 

 

 

 

Hello?

 

 

But apparently you can’t hear mine?

Okay, let’s see…...3 paragraphs to go.

Sigh. Apparently

______________________________________________________________________________

 

I’m on to you. You can read my thoughts.

Wait, what? You can tell now?! Aww, crap. She knows!

Listen, I’m sorry. I don’t actually even know how I’m doing this, I promise.

lol. Eh, it was worth a shot. I’d be crazy if someone actually responded one day.

Shoo. Close call.

______________________________________________________________________________

In Class

There he is. He’s so gorgeous, but he knows it.

Wait, who’s she looking at now?

I could stare at him for hours. Well,...the next hour and a half at least.

He looks a little scruffy today. It’s like I can feel it tickling my neck. Shiver.

Oh my gosh. This woman is horny all the time.

I can’t listen to her think about one of our classmates

like this for the next hour and a half!

Huh. What is my problem. I’m like drooling over this jerk.

For real! Just tune her out. Focus. Focus.

He begins staring down the teacher to try

and concentrate while chewing on a pencil.

Oh, does he actually like this class?

It looks like he’s going to burn a hole in the teachers face.

If he doesn’t bite that pencil in half first!

Wait....

abruptly sits up a little straighter and stops chewing on the pencil.

Is she...talking about me?! haha.

No, dimples, don’t stop! You look so cute when you’re trying to think.

Dimples, huh? smirk.

And that shirt is the perfect fit everywhere.

Smirks and looks in her direction.

Crap! He must have noticed me staring!

Take notes. Take notes. I’m writing.

Da,ta,da,ta,daaaaaa…….

Why is he still looking at me?

Haha. That’s right. Looks away.

Sigh.

 

 

______________________________________________________________________________

Both Asleep

No. No. Stop. It’s all my fault.

The flames are too high. I can’t get to him.

No. This isn’t happening. This isn’t real.

You can control this. This isn’t happening.

Make it stop. Make it stop.

There’s no fire. Make the fire disappear.

I can’t.

Yes you can. You can do this. This isn’t real.

Wow. It’s like it melted.

See. It isn’t real. You’re okay. He’s okay.

We’re okay.

Who is he? How is this happening? So different from my other nightmares.

It’s okay. It’s okay.

It’s okay.

How to recover from that.

Think happier thoughts. Arms wrapped around you.

Skin on skin. A gentle kiss on the cheek.

It’s okay.

 

 

 

Thank you.

______________________________________________________________________________

In Class

Someone is in my head. I know it.

I’m surprised their fuzzy little brain hasn’t exploded.

My brain isn’t fuzzy.

Knock knock.

Who’s there?

Owl.

Owl who?

Owl find you soon enough.

“Hahaha.” Clever.

Wait, did that guy laugh out loud again?

*gulp*

Her surprised and terrified ones meet his as he holds his breath and everything stops.

 

 

 

 

 

Other students start to leave abruptly.

Oh, good, it’s over. I have to get out of here. I have to get away from him!

Wait. You don’t understand. I’m not doing it on purpose.

Julianna disappears out of sight.

 

 

 

 

 

Ugh!

Stupid! Stupid! Stupid!

______________________________________________________________________________

So can you even hear me when I’m in my dorm?

 

 

 

 

 

ANSWER ME!!

Yes.

I can’t believe this! How long have you heard my thoughts.

Longer than you’ve been able to hear mine.

Well, I just realized it today, so that doesn’t help.

 

 

 

Over a month.

A month! How….You...When…..Okay. How much can you hear?

Everything.

Everything public I think or like EVERYTHING everything?

Let’s just say I love it when you’re dreaming. So erotic.

Oh my gosh. No. This is not happening.

______________________________________________________________________________

Okay, this is it. Don’t think. Don’t think. Don’t think. Pink. Purple. Green. 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,....Black. Yellow. Too bad I don’t know Sports Stats to keep him busy.

I know Sports Stats if you want to hear.

Ugh! Get out of my head! What is your deal!?

You were in mine a long time before I was in yours.

Don’t remind me! And I didn’t know I was…

and I’m not doing it on purpose!

You think I want to be hearing your every thought?!

Are you kidding?! You think way too much.

At least I know how to think for myself!

 

 

 

 

Tengo una idea. Necessito pensar solemente en Espanol.

I know Spanish too.

He know’s Spanish. That’s so hot. Wait, no. Stop.

Please tell me he didn’t hear that.

Haha. It doesn’t have a mute. Trust me, I’ve tried.

As you’ve said. Oh my gosh. My face is probably super red.

Is this class almost over. Just my luck we’d have a Gen Ed together.

It’s not like I planned it. And that’s not even close

to the steamiest thing I’ve read from you.

Wait, can you see what I see in my head too or can you only hear the words?

 

(Pictures a bedroom scene complete with moans)

Oh my gosh, woman. Stop! We’re in the middle of class!

Haha. Now who’s red?

Trying to hide embarrassment and be mad

Make eye contact from across the room.

 

 

 

Sigh.

Wait, what?

He just asked you a question!

Oh no. Why now?! What do I do?

It’s a Van Gough. Say Van Gough.

“Van Gough, Sir.”

Haha. Sir.

Shut up. This is your fault.

I gave you the answer, didn’t I?

Yeah, how did you know that?

I’m a female. Our brains are always in 5 places at once.

Yeah, and one of yours is always in the gutter.

I think you’re hornier than I am!

You liked it and you know it.

I like it more when it’s not in the middle of class!

______________________________________________________________________________

 

Sigh. Ugh. Great. Can’t even order Tea without…

Your order, princess.

Don’t call me that.

Technically, I haven’t called you anything yet- I merely thought it...princess

Ugh.

Well...don’t just stand there. You look crazy.

“What would you like?”

...princess

You out of my head and a “Spiced Chai.”

Oooooh, spicing it up. Look at you.

“Here you go.”

Just set it down. I don’t want to take it out of your hand.

Stephen gives Julianna a dull, annoyed glare.

Stop looking at me like that.

“Spiced Chai right?”

Smirks. You’re going to have to take it from me.

Ugh! FINE.

“Yes, thanks.”

She grabs the cup and he smirks as their hands touch.

See. How hard would it have been to just

set it down. Then we wouldn’t have grazed hands.

Starts to walk out quickly.

Wait, you’re not staying in the cafe? You love it here.

Not if we’re sharing a mind. I can’t think knowing you can hear it.

 

Wait, no. I’ll try too….

She’s gone.

 

 

 

 

Sigh. Sorry.

 

______________________________________________________________________________

Both studying in their separate dorm rooms.

Annoyed Ugh. You are horrible at this, sweet cheeks!

No I’m not. I’m doing fine.

Even more annoyed Not you!

Wait, you call yourself sweet cheeks?!?!

Chill! It’s out of sarcasm. Now leave me alone.

You started it.

 

 

______________________________________________________________________________

 

Spence, come here.

What? Now you want me in your head?

No, this is serious! Come here. He’s following me.

There’s no one else out here and it’s dark.

Get outside your dorm now. I’m about to walk passed it.

What? No.I can’t let anyone hurt her. Not her.

Spencer leaves his room and sprints down the stairs.

Hurry. Hurry. Faster.

If he touches her I’ll rip him to shreds!

Hurry. Please. Faster.

Exits dorm and tries to act calm and not out of breath.

Sigh. Thank you. Now walk right passed me then

loop back around and follow….

Julianna sees he’s walking
