Surprisingly eventful.

Neither of you have any classes for the rest of the day, and it's barely noon. You walk around campus, enjoying the simple grounds and each other's company. You decide to use your powers as little as possible on Natalie herself while you two are talking. It keeps the conversation more natural.

You find out that she's actually noticed you for a while and has, in the past, had a crush on you. She blushes as she reveals this to you. You react with surprise.

"Really?" You ask. "Dorky little me?"

Natalie blushes a little harder. "Well, yeah. You always seemed to have something to smile about, James. And you have such a sweet smile."

"So, why is this crush past tense?"

Natalie opens her mouth to answer when someone else speaks to you from behind. You whirl around to see another student. Your powers fill your mind with information about her.

Her name is Samantha Wilkins. She's 5'4" and she's wearing a synthetic wool cardigan over a t-shirt and jeans. She's very proud of her well-worn boots, though she's never said so aloud. Her fair skin is a bit of a sour point for her, because she was teasingly called snow white in high school due to the way it contrasted with her raven hair.

As you suddenly get bombarded by information you weren't actually looking for, her words finally reach you. "Hey, who are you talking to?"

You glance at Natalie, who cringes. You grin.

"Oh, just someone only I can see."

Samantha looks you up and down. "Ah. You're not crazy, right?"

"Why should that matter?"

"Because I was thinking about inviting you to a party tonight, but I don't know if I want anyone who sees things that aren't there showing up."

You shrug. "Well, it's your decision. Maybe I see someone no one else sees, maybe no one else sees someone who's there."

She rolls her eyes. "Allright, smartass. 7 at the apartment on 23rd. You know where I mean?"

You grin. "Yeah."

She rolls her eyes. "Bring your invisible friend, I guess."

You use your powers to know that she thinks you're an arrogant jerk, even if you're a cute arrogant jerk.

You blink in surprise. She doesn't notice, as she's already turned her back and is walking away. You turn to Natalie and shake your head, putting Samantha's opinion of you out of your mind.

"Well, looks like we've been invited to a party."

Natalie seems to be staring at Samantha as she walks away. You're tempted to use your powers to know what she's thinking, but you decide against it.

"Penny for your thoughts?"

Natalie bites her lip. "Don't you know already?"

You shake your head. "What would be the point of a conversation if I already knew the answers to all the questions? I don't choose to use my ability all the time."

Natalie looks up at you, narrowing her eyes. "Are you sure?"

You shrug. "I haven't had the powers for that long anyways. It's not like I can't function without it."

She hesitates. "... I was just jealous of her."

You lift an eyebrow. "Jealous of what?"

She sighs. "She's normal, hot, and confident. She walked right up to you and asked for what she wanted. You and I would never have spoken if it weren't for..." She gestures at her body.
