(Just a little note to whoever replies...Elona's power is that she can read minds so you need to give her something to read. Have your character be thinking things while the conversation is going on. You can put the thoughts in italics so I'll know your character didn't actually say those parts.)
Elona stepped out of the back of her Mom's station wagon, shouldered her bag and headed for the Quad. She was there early today to try and get some homework done as it was always too loud in her house, what with the things people were both saying and thinking.
She chose one of the closer picnic tables and pulled out a math book. Math had never been her best subject. A few guys walked by:
"Man what a loser...doing homework on a Monday...that's what weekends are for" the first one was thinking.
"I hope they have hotdogs for lunch" was the second one's brilliant thoughts.
Elona rolled her eyes and went back to studying.

Liam was running away again, escaping the bully not just by running away but by being invisible. He couldn't control his powers and he hated that. He just sighed as he hid behind a tree ,so he could relax and come out of invisibility. "Why is that bully picking on me, that fat Marcus, what a pain in the butt. Alright.. calm down.. calm down, you can control it." He thought, as he was trying to relax, though it was hard when he heard Marcus again, until the bully got out. He just sighed, relaxing for real. He then became visible again, behind that big tree and he sighed of relief. "That was close.." He just said, as he got walked out and looked around, he saw a girl and got close to her. "Hum hello.." He said, a bit nervous, he hoped that she didn't see him or something, probably not since he was invisible when he passed here. "Please, tell me she didn't see anything, tell me she didn't see anything or I'm toast." He thought, looking at Elona in the eyes, there seemed to be nothing indicating that she saw him come out of invisibility.

Elona scrunched her forehead up, trying to concentrate, but it became more and more difficult, especially when someone's thoughts rattled around in her head, but she couldn't see that someone. She had barely turned her attention back to the open book before her when someone was approaching her. "Hey" she responded with a friendly smile, doing her best to ignore his thoughts as it was an invasion of privacy. "How are you" she asked politely. She hadn't seen him around much so she assumed they were in different grades.

"I'm.. I'm good." He was nervous though, this was the first time, he talked to someone else, except maybe his own brother, he was more at ease talking with his xbox 360, he just shook his head a bit. "Oh yeah good when I'm being chased by a bloody bully, why am I stupid.." He thought looking away a bit, and soon looking at her again. "So hum.. what about you.. how..how are you?" He said, he had to buy some kind of simulation game, to talk with people with some ease, but he wasn't, he was getting a bit nervous.

Elona raised an eyebrow. "Are you sure you're ok" she asked, ignoring his question and asking one of her own. She wanted to add, "who is he" but refrained, remembering just in time that he hadn't actually admitted out loud the whole being chased by a bully thing. She closed her math book. He had all of her attention now.

"Me..y..yes I'm alright.." Liam said, however that question made him more uncomfortable then before. He put his hands on his back cause he knew what was happening, it was beginning from that question that stressed him a lot. His hands, vanished but at least the girl couldn't see that, he closed his eyes trying to calm himself. "Think about.. the river yes...yes the river... calm down.. just calm down.." He thought, he didn't know if it would worked, but he hoped so, showing his powers near school, is a real bad thing.

Elona's raised eyebrow went higher. He was acting very strange. But he was clearly in dire need of calming thoughts so she didn't push it. Instead she gestured to the bench across from her. "Would you like to sit down? There's still a half an hour before homeroom. Or did you have somewhere else you needed to be?"

"Huh.. n.. no I have no where else to be." Liam just said, he sat next to her, looking around like a madman, and when he saw Marcus outside again, he just gulped, falling backwards and hiding behind Elona. He controlled his powers, this time since he didn't want her to know about him that much. He just stayed behind the girl, still looking around, hoping he didn't come. "D...did the fat guy leave... is... he.. inside now? He just asked, a bit shy that he was hiding behind her, but what other choice did he have, a thin guy against a fat bully who has a gang, he couldn't survive a fight against them, nor did he even know how to fight.

Elona was surprised, but not angered, when the boy sat beside her instead of across from her. No sooner had he done this than he was ducking behind her, breathing rapidly in a sort of panicked way. Elona scanned the quad to see if she could pinpoint the source of his discomfort. It wasn't hard to do. Marcus was hovering around, cracking his knuckles. He wasn't even that fat, he was more muscular than overweight.
Elona said as much. "Marcus isn't fat, and no he's not gone. He's looking this way. Why?" She pretty much already knew why, but wanted the other boy to tell her himself.

"Looking this way.. oh boy.. I'm dead.. dead..dead....he likes bullying me, he did it ever since elementary..." Liam just said, though by the stress it gave him to know he was looking this way, his body vanished instantly, but Liam was still there breathing rapidly, and soon holding his breath as he saw Marcus getting close, when Marcus didn't see Liam he just walked back. Liam just sighed of relief, still checking around, make sure he wasn't there, though there was one problem, he was invisible and didn't realize it.. "Is he gone?"

Elona shook her head. She had known Marcus since they were little and he did have a tendency to be a little mean, but only because he didn't know what else to say. She watched as he approached, giving him a small smile.
"Where did that bastard go" he was thinking crossly. "I'll kick his scrawny ass from here to china the next time I see him."
Elona's eyebrows knit together in concern. Liam must have done something really awful for Marcus to be feeling like that. "Um...Marcus, he went back inside I think" she lied.
Marcus started that way, but then stopped. "Wait...how do you know who I'm looking for, Reece?"
Elona kept a calm expression. "It's all over the school. You're looking for Liam Grayson to...uh...to do something. The details are a little fuzzy on that end."
Marcus looked appeased. "Oh, well if you see the brat, let him know I have a present for him."
Elona gave a strained smile. "Sure thing Marcus." Without turning around to face Liam she breathed, "he's gone."

Liam was listening to the convo, this scared him out, he didn't know why Marcus wanted to beat him up so badly, ever since elementary school that started, he remembered him saying that the reason was because he lives. But maybe he did do something Marcus didn't appreciate he didn't know what. This wasn't good for him, though at least Elona defended him, so to speak. Liam just sighed, relaxing himself, as he was visible again and just looked around. "Thanks, but I got the feeling this won't stop." He said, sighing again, did he even do something to that brute, he just shook his head, he didn't know, he didn't have any friends nor did he even approach people.

"I know it won't stop" Elona thought to herself. "Not after I just heard what he was thinking. He wants to hurt you, buster, so you better move out of town." Instead of saying all this however, she just gave him a sympathetic smile. "I'm sorry. Do you know what you did to make him mad?"

"I don't know.." Liam just said, he had no idea. "Never usually talked with people, never had any friends, why is he acting that way with me." He just thought sighing a bit. He looked around, and thought that it would be better if he remained silent. He put sunglasses and then took out a book, he would hide his face with the book, yes he would. Hopefully this plan would work.
