Definitely. Meredith agreed. So far, I haven't really found anything yet… Mostly theory sites and science fiction stuff. Did find some about the medical possibility of telepathy and a couple about the actual science of it. But nothing specific about what’s going on with us… Sorry.
Paisley nodded a little. Okayy… it's okay, no reason to apologize. How's your writing project going?
Meredith shrugged, It’s pretty much done. Kinda was just going to try and… polish it up a bit today but I think our mental health is more important at the moment. Not that I think we're going crazy or anything! I just meant that… Oh geez, what did I mean by that? I guess it's the only applicable word I could come up with. She ran a hand through her short black hair nervously.
I mean… I wouldn't be surprised if we were going crazy… or if I was going crazy… Paisley smiled and shook her head. You wanna leave the library and do something else?
Sure. I don't really like having to stay in one place for too long anyway. Meredith smiled, putting her laptop and papers away. Did you have someplace in mind or did you just want to walk around?
Umm… not really, so maybe we should just walk around for now. Paisley scooted her chair back to where it was before. She stood up and grabbed her backpack, now she had a bunch of energy. Who knew sleeping on a shoulder would give me so much energy…
Meredith chuckled with a very light blush. You’re welcome. I had no idea I was so comfortable. I’ve always been told I was a bit bony… Well more like sharp jointed since I work out, I guess. She definitely had a toned, athletic figure but she had been taken out of a game once when another player blamed Meredith’s elbows for a cut on the head.
Paisley smiled seeing Meredith's blush. Okay that is not something I would normally tell people… I honestly didn't mean to. But uh… good job working out? I mean, I can't ever keep up with it so I just don't.
I guess it just depends on who you hang out with. Meredith shrugged, brushing aside the comment. It helps me focus… Keeps my head together… Chances are if you can't find me where I’m supposed to be; I'm in the gym or on a run… I don't dislike the library either.
Good to know. We should go… we're kinda just standing here… in the library… talking in each other's heads… Paisley said with a gesture to the door.
Meredith could help the light snort as she nodded. Yeah, when you say it like that… It sounds pretty bad… If I saw someone else doing that I’d probably think they were crazy or something… Or that they were— Ok, let's get outta here. She smiled taking a few steps toward the door but not leaving Paisley behind.
Paisley followed Meredith then passing her so she could hold the door open for her. What were you about to say there, huh? She had a little smile as she let Meredith through the door.
Nothing! Meredith’s face went a bit red as she answered quickly. It's too soon to think about that anyway. Please drop it. … Sorry if that was a bit loud, I don't know how the volume works on this thing yet.
Okay… of you say so… And that wasn't too loud, don't worry. They finally left the building and started walking
That’s a relief. Last thing I wanna do is give you a headache with this… and my own stupid thoughts. Meredith easily kept pace with the other girl. So I told you three of my favorite places to be on campus, what are some of yours? She smiled.
Hmm… okay, so I love the band room… obviously the food court, and… same with the library. They came to a street light, Paisley looked between the streets. Which way??
Hmm…. well, there's a trail I run down this way. It's actually kinda scenic for a walk, if you want. Meredith offered, gesturing down the street.
Okay, sounds fun to me! The light changed so they were able to walk across. Lead the way! She smiled looking over to Meredith.
Meredith smiled, It’s this way. I hope you like it. Don't worry about getting lost. I pretty much have it memorized. She couldn't help but wink.
OMG OMG OMG OMG– Paisley quickly looked down at the ground while shaking her head. Uh… I… I wasn't worried about getting lost, I trust you…
Now that they were away from prying eyes, Meredith allowed herself to laugh out loud at Paisley’s initial reaction. Oh my gosh, that was too cute. She looked back at her company with a small smile. You really trust me, already?
Thanks…? Paisley looked back up at Meredith with slight pink in her cheeks. Well… yeah. Do you.. trust me?
Yeah… I think I do. It's a little harder to lie to someone who can hear your thoughts. Meredith ran her hand through her hair, ruffling it a bit nervously.
Paisley nodded agreeing while scratching the back of her neck. "Okay… I know it's cool to talk to each other in our heads… we've literally only talked with our real voices once. And I want to actually hear your voice."
Meredith almost stumbled hearing Paisley’s actual voice again, not having expected it. ”Okay.” She nodded, ”You're right, I guess I was just going with it. But you are right, we should actually talk too.”
