Jen gains the perk uncontrollable mind reader.
Sighing in defeat, Jen stared at the three options; they were horrible. Did she want to live in a world where everyone would constantly be having sex if they were even a little attracted to the other person? No, she did not.
How about having her body mutated by a drug that came out of a perverts mind? You have got to be joking.
At least with the mind control it wouldn’t affect her that much she could just tune out the thoughts and never turn it on. She reached out at the mind reading text but felt nothing but the text faded. The world suddenly came into focus again and she listened for any “thoughts”… there was nothing. She could hear the sound of Martha downstairs shuffling around but she couldn’t hear any thoughts coming from that direction.
As she looked around she finally saw her sock peaking out from under the bed. Ah ha there you are now time for school.
She ran down stairs and straight into Martha carrying the trash out to the curb.
“Oh pardon me Jenny. I didn’t hear you coming down the stairs. Are you alright?” Martha said in an apologetic tone.
“Really Martha? you could have gotten me dirty with that trash. Do you know what would have happened if I had to change clothes? I would have told my dad and you would be fired.” Jen said in her smug tone as she searched her clothes for trash.
‘Yeah, like I would be so lucky; why couldn’t I have a peaceful day without seeing this spoiled brat?’ Martha wined in her head.
“I’m sorry Jenny it was a complete accident, I just didn’t see you at all. It won’t happen again. Martha said in her practiced professional voice.
I’m sorry what was that?” Jen said her gaze to look Martha in the face.
I-I’m sorry? What did I say to offend you?” she said with a look of surprise on her face.
‘Did I actually say that out loud? Come on Martha you need to watch your mouth. This could be really bad I need to play it off as best as I can.’
“You just said I was a spoiled brat. You know that would be enough to get you fired right?”
“O-oh that, I was… talking about dinner. We were going to have brats and hot dogs but the ones in the fridge were spoiled s-so we can’t use them. Nope I am going to have to go shopping today and pick some more up from the grocery store. Martha said, trying not to sound nervous.
‘Whew nice save girl.’ Martha thought
Now that Jen was watching her face went white as she notice that although she could hear Martha he mouth wasn’t moving.
‘Was she actually reading her mind?’ Jen thought
Freaking out Jen composed herself, she had to get away from this situation and said “ Was that the case? F-fine. But I have two things to say. Stop calling me Jenny I go by Jen I am not 10; and second figure something else out for dinner… I hate bratwurst.”
With that Jen continued out to her car without even a goodbye and shutting the door hard as she walked out.
As the door slammed shut Martha sighed ‘wow that was a close one, I could have sworn I only thought that though…hmm I must have said it, it’s not like she could read my mind.
