Stella turned around slowly, looking at the girl with her deep blue eyes, a polite smile crossed her lips and a nodd, then she went back to unpacking. Not a single sound left Stella's lips, not even the sound of air passing by them. Stella's mind was swimming, she could hear the thoughts of the other students, none of which were familiar to her, not yet at least. She sighed mentally, worrying if anyone would understand her at this school. She knew she would become the outcast, like so many other times, because of her speech issues, but she hoped she could find someone, anyone that would understand her, since her own brother, the only one who understood her was still back home.
Alicia stared at the girl for almost a whole minute before turning back to her computer. Maybe she's just not much of a talker, she thought, hoping she was wrong about this girl being rude. Her cousins in college had told her enough horror stories about crazy roommates to make her wary of anyone who didn't seem....normal.
"You, uh....you like Led Zepplin?" she asked, hoping this attempt to strike up a conversation wouldn't fall flat.

Stella heard her thoughts about her being rude and she sighed mentally, no one understood, it would be the same here. When the girl asked about Led Zepplin, Stella nearly collapsed, she politely smiled at the girl and shook her head no. She held up a CD of classical music, and pointed to her guitar case.
But still, no words came out of Stella's mouth, she just continued to unpack her things, neatly putting them away in the small closet area that was designated for her and into the drawers of her dresser.
"Oh. Classical? That's....cool." Mentally, Alicia calculated how much a year's supply of iPod batteries would cost; she didn't think she could stand listening to more than a few minutes of classical music.
Did the admissions person know what they were doing when they put us in the same room? So far we have nothing in common, and she won't talk! Great....
She took a deep breath and tried again. "So....uhh...what are your powers?"

Stella turned back around and eyed the girl carefully, her thoughts were frustrating Stella even more than ever, she would never understand. Stella wondered if she could trust the girl with her biggest secret.
"I speak with my mind." Stella talked right to the other girl's mind. Not a sound was heard in the room. "It's not that I am being rude, I can't speak. And do not worry about Ipod batteries, you won't have to listen to my music."
"I speak with my mind." Stella talked right to the other girl's mind. Not a sound was heard in the room. "It's not that I am being rude, I can't speak. And do not worry about Ipod batteries, you won't have to listen to my music."
Alicia felt her cheeks flame even as Stella spoke. "S-sorry...I didn't mean....I mean, I didn't know....sorry." Tucking a lock of curly black hair behind her ear, she hurredly went back to writing her email home.
Dear Mom and Dad,
My roommate is a telepath. Yeah. Y'know how you always said my iternal dialogue was busted, and I should just keep my thoughts to myself? Well, that didn't really work today....

"don't worry about it. I have heard far worse." Stella spoke softly to her new roommate's mind. "I'm Stella by the way." Stella finished unpacking and sat down on her bed, taking out her guitar and quietly tuning it, using only her fingers and ears. "What are your gifts?"
Stella nodded and smiled. "I have a curse, but no other gifts, well besides music." Stella stated, putting the guitar away, looking at the girl curiously. "It does not freak you out that I can read your thoughts? Or that I can only speak to your mind?" Stella realized she was being rude. "I won't read your thoughts anymore, I didn't mean to, i just forgot to shut myself off to others thoughts, I was listening to my drivers thoughts on the way here."
"It does not freak you out that I can read your thoughts? Or that I can only speak to your mind? I won't read your thoughts anymore, I didn't mean to, i just forgot to shut myself off to others thoughts, I was listening to my drivers thoughts on the way here."
"It freaked me out a little at first," Alicia admitted, chuckling a little. "And that you heard all the stuff I was thinking about you....but I don't mind if you communicate telepathically. A lot of my dad's friends are mutants," she added in explanation.
"What's your 'curse', if you don't mind my asking? It can't be much worse than a penchant for putting people in the hospital with pieces of pizza...."
