Now, you're a people person. You try to figure everyone out. Human beings, whether friends or strangers, are all very fascinating to you. So when you see him down the hallway, you're studying eyes can't help but begin to describe him. Weary. Tired. Drained. Exhausted. It's killing you that you can't figure out what's wrong with him. When the only word you can really think of is tired, you get pretty annoyed. But he doesn't care about you, or anyone else for that matter. He seems nonchalant and apathetic about everything around him. Aha! Different adjectives! Now we're getting somewhere! But oh how you wish you knew what was going on in that mind of his! What's eating at him? What or who is he thinking about? Why is he so exhausted?
Now you two are getting nearer to each other. You are just about to pass him when you notice something. His eyes flick to your eyes catching you completely off-guard. You have just been found out! He knows everything! Suddenly, his mouth changes into a small smirk, almost as if he's saying, "I'm not telling you." You can't believe that he showed a tiny bit of emotion. At least, now you know there's at least something going on in that head of his. By this time, you have completely stopped in your tracks. Your staring off into space as if in a trance. His smirk went away as quickly as it came, but you can still feel his pride and arrogance at your surprise as he passes you.
How is it that he knew? You try to be so discreet! No one has ever suspected you before. But with one glance, he seemed to know the truth. The truth that says if someone really looked into your mind, they would only find the thoughts of everyone around you. With one flick of the eyes, he saw straight through you. He saw how you get in people's heads and how you depend on the thoughts of others. He knows that it's not just that people fascinate you. His all-seeing eyes saw that it goes much deeper than that. And with that knowledge, he played a trick on you that you'll never forget.
But wait a second, how would he know that I was studying him if he hadn't been studying me at just the same moment? Oh dear..... what has the world come to....?
