HAHAH I WROTE IT SAMMIE:D Maahaa, I got really bored so I wrote our one shot but I made into a little story with Louis and Niall, not that you mind;)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Telekinesis - The ability to move objects with the mind without touching them or having any other contact with them.
Telepathy - The ability to communicate through the mind.
These two abilities are part of the few abilities that people wish they have. People are always wondering what it would be like to move something with their mind, or read other peoples thoughts. Life would be much easier, right? You wouldn't have to watch a crap TV programme just because the remote is out of reach, or hang off your bed when you drop something on the floor. You could tell if someone was lying to you, or get out of being told of by the teacher who's accusing you of not listening when you can't answer whatever question they asked, or helping a friend who's in the latter position.
While these thoughts are merely dreams, or a story; for two girls it's a reality.
Elise Palmer. 19 years of age. Tall; normal build; long, dark blonde hair with visible brown roots; light brown eyes. Studying English Teaching and Maths. Telepathic.
Carla Brookes. 19 years of age. Medium height and build; short, deep purple hair; light brown eyes. Studying Radio Production and Maths. Telekinetic.
They're just normal girls, just starting their second year at University and managing a part time job at the same time. They live in an average sized flat in Brighton close to the University campus. For these girls, everyday life is a game. They should resist the urge to use their abilities, but they use them and try and not get caught. At home, they use their abilities without a care in the world.
Until one day.
One day their carefree attitude gets them caught. Gets them caught by two of the hottest, most popular guys on campus - Niall Horan and Louis Tomlinson, both majoring in Music and Maths and also starting their second year at Brighton University.
The girls were just mucking about in Maths like they normally do, Elise daring Carla to do things to other people around the classroom without being caught...

"Okay, I dare you to make the past papers fall on the floor," Carla heard Elise's voice in her head - her American accent strong. Elise's telepathy includes being able to talk to people through their mind, the other person hearing it as a thought in Elise's voice. Carla smirked.
"Easy," she thought, looking at the pile of past papers the class did for homework that were sat on the edge of Mr Warton's desk. Carla squinted her eyes slightly, and seconds later the pile of 20 papers were on the floor. The whole class jumped at the sudden noise - Mr Warton included. Carla and Elise let out a small laugh along with the rest of the class, fighting back the hysterical laughter threatening to sound.
"Okay, okay. Now tie Louis Tomlinson's and Niall Horan's shoe laces together," Carla could hear the laughter in Elise's voice. They both bit their lip, trying not to laugh as they watched the laces tie together. "This is goin' to be priceless," Elise thought to Carla, chuckling.
30 seconds later, the bell sounded, signalling the end of class. Everyone stood up and went to leave; Mr Warton included. Neither of the girls moved, not wanting to miss what was about to happen.
Oblivious to their shoes, Niall and Louis stood up and went to step apart but ended up falling face first on the floor. Both boys dropped their things in attempt to break their fall with their hands. Everyone let out a loud laugh - especially Elise and Carla. They both raised their left hand to high five each other.
Niall and Louis grumbled twisting around to untie their laces. Niall ended up taking off his shoes, pushing his laces into his shoe as he couldn't be bothered to tie them. However, Louis was sat on the floor, tying his shoes as his best friend gathered their stuff. Standing up, they gazed around the classroom, trying to see who looked suspicious out of the remaining students. Their gaze landed on Elise and Carla who were wiping tears whilst putting things in their bags.
Realising she had dropped her phone as she stood up, Carla held out her hand thinking they were alone. Her Samsung Galaxy floated up and landed gently on her palm. Seeing this, Niall's and Louis' jaws fell open, staring in shock at Carla. Noticing they weren't alone, Elise gasped.
"Carla! Niall and Louis, 2 o'clock!" Carla's head snapped up, staring in fear at the two boys. Elise was about to say something, but was cut off by Niall.
"But you - "
" - the phone - "
" - floor - "
" - in your hand - "
" - floated?"
Elise couldn't help but be amused by the boys not being able to form a simple sentence, yet managing to know what the other is about to say. From what she knows, they've been together since primary school, so she guesses that's the reason why they're so in sync.
"Well, er, it's a magic trick?" Carla said, lamely. "It's on a bit of string."
The boys gave her 'do-you-think-I'm-stupid' look. Carla chuckled nervously, looking at Elise and asking - well, thinking - for help. Neither girls knew what to say, knowing no words could make this better. No words could cover their tracks, or be a perfectly good explanation to what just happened.
***
Both girls panicked. What if they told everyone? Their secret would be out and people would think they're freaks. They weren't unpopular, they were friendly with everyone. That would certainly changed. They'd become the bottom of the food chain; getting bullied by everyone. The only friends they would have would be each other. That's surely what would happen, right?
Wrong.
The boys were freaked out, but they were understanding. When Carla and Elise took them back to their flat, they sat them down and explained everything. Every little thing. From when they found out they had abilities, to when and how they met, to the moment they got caught.
Every little thing.
***
"I can't remember Elle's story, but when I was little, my mum told me I would be a really quiet baby. Instead of crying when I wanted my dummy or a bottle, I would look at them and they'd be in my arms in seconds. My mum has the same ability, only she has to hold out her hands when she's moving something. It wasn't until I was around 5 when I realised what I could do and figure out it wasn't exactly normal," Carla explained to the two boys sat on the sofa, perpendicular to the one she's sat on.
"Mines quite similar. When I was younger, around 5, I told my mom that I could hear peoples thoughts. My dad has the same ability, so he told me I had to keep it a secret. As I got older, my mom and dad kind of taught me how to use it. They were tempted to send me to a private school, but I didn't want that. I wanted to be as 'normal' as I could," Elise told them.
"For me, primary and secondary school was pretty tough. I was so tempted to just cheat and show off what I could do, but I promised my mum that I wouldn't tell a soul. It wasn't until I met Elle when she came to England on a holiday that I told someone other than my family," Carla took over, Elise nodded in agreement.
"How did you know Elise had...telepathy?" Louis asked, uncertain. The two girls exchanged a glance, both thinking how they could explain something so...indescribable.
"It's sort of like instinct, I guess. I don't really know how to explain it. It's like, those 'love at first sight' stories and cliche films when they lock eyes and time just slows down. We kind of just looked at each other and we just knew," Elise explained, not sure if it was a good explanation or a completely lame one.
"And how did you two meet again?" Niall wondered. Carla smiled.
"We were both on holiday in London. We were in the same pod on the London Eye when we saw each other. We exchanged numbers and Facebook; we've been best friends ever since," the faint smile never leaving Carla's lips as she recalled the moment she met her best friend.
"What exactly were you doing in class?" Louis asked, staring at them intently.
"Were you the one who tied our shoe laces together?" Niall questioned, looking at Carla accusingly. The girls held back a laugh as they thought back to the hysterical moment. Carla nodded, sending the boys a not-so apologetic smile.
"We do it every lesson. Elle dares me to do something, and I do it without trying to get caught. And yes, yes that was me. Sorry," Carla smirked, not sounding sorry at all.
"But you did get caught," it was Louis' turn to smirk now, feeling quite smug they caught the girls after a whole year of 'mysterious' happenings. The girls shrugged.
"So what? There's still millions of people who haven't caught us. Plenty more pranks to pull during class," Elise smiled mischievously. Carla held out her hand, palm up, gesturing for Elise to high five her. Carla smirked at Niall when Elise's palm came into contact with hers.
"But, you have to promise you can't tell anyone. No one but our families should know," Carla said sternly, her smirk turning into a serious - slightly scary - look. The boys nodded.
"Of course. Swear on me mam's life," Niall promised, holding out his pinky. Carla smiled, a small blush forming on her cheeks as she linked her pinky with Niall's.
"Me too! Swear on my sister's life," Louis swore, linking his pinky with Elise's. The girls smiled thankfully; glad their secret will remain hidden.
***
The boys kept their promise. No one else found out about their abilities. They even started to hang out more and get a lot closer. Every break, lunch and free time was spent together. They'd go out for dinner together, or just have a take away, sometimes Niall and Carla would cook. They went from acquaintances to best friend's in a few weeks - 3 to be exact.
Feelings had started to grow deep within, making their friendly behaviour turn quite flirty. After 3 months of being best friends, both boys finally plucked up the courage and asked them out. Louis - knowing Elise preferred a night in for a date - had brought over some films and a Domino's take away. Niall - knowing Carla preferred a fun day out - took her ice skating then went to Nando's afterwards.

"Okay, so I've brought 2 large pizza's and a bottle of coke, along with Skyfall, Lion King, Hairspray and Grown Ups," Louis smiled, putting everything on the coffee table before taking off his shoes and jacket. He kicked his shoes under the table and dumped his jacket on the sofa like it was his own home.
"Sounds good," Elise smiled, grabbing the Meat Feast pizza. Louis grabbed Skyfall, putting it in the DVD player before sitting beside Elise and grabbing the Pepperoni pizza.
Not much was said during Skyfall and Lion King. Elise asked the odd question when she didn't get what was going on, and they both laughed and sang during Lion King. Their empty pizza boxes and bottle of coke lay on the coffee table, neither bothering to put it in the bin as the opening credits for Hairspray came on.
"GOOD MORNING BALTIMORE! EVERY DAY'S LIKE AN OPEN DOOR! Something, something, something, something, SYMPHONY!" Louis belted, going quiet when he didn't know the lyrics. Elise laughed at him, moving away slightly as he was too loud for her.
"Y'know, if you're going to sing a song, at least learn the lyrics," Elise teased, snuggling back into Louis' arms. Louis' scoffed.
"Yeah, yeah, like you know them," he shot back, making Elise smirk.
"I do actually. I just can't sing so therefore I choose not to sing alone," she stated smugly. Louis rolled his eyes.
"Course," he thought, forgetting Elise could hear him. Instantly, Elise looked straight at him, entering his mind.
"Want to repeat that, Tomlinson?" She jokingly threatened. Louis' eyes widened, not used to the feel of someone inside his brain. Ever had that feeling when you don't feel completely there? Like your mind is away with the fairies? That's how it feels to have Elise in your mind, speaking and hearing you.
"Wow, this is so weird," Louis mentally whispered, causing Elise to laugh out loud.
"You're so weird," Elise said, exiting Louis' mind and bringing the conversation back to verbal communication. Louis shook his head as the feeling of normality returned to him. It was possibly the weirdest experience Louis has had in his life, yet he loved it.
"That wasn't nice," Louis pouted, making Elise coo. She leaned over, squeezing his cheeks like he was a little child and she was his annoying Aunt.
"Awe! Aren't you just adorable," she cooed in a high pitch voice as though she was speaking to a puppy. Louis rolled his eyes, squatting away her soft hands. He didn't reply, not wanting to have a little quarrel with Elise, knowing she was ridiculously stubborn.
"Yeah, yeah, whatever," he mumbled. Louis turned his attention back to the tele, smiling when he saw what song it was. "HEY LITTLE GIRL ON A SPENDING SPREE. I DON'T COME CHEAP BUT THE KISSES COME FREE. ON CLOSER INSPECTION, I'M SURE THAT YOU'LL AGREE!" Louis started off, jumping up onto his feet and grabbing the empty drinks bottle, holding it to his mouth like a microphone. "OH, HEY LITTLE GIRL, LISTEN TO MY PLEA. I COME WITH A LIFETIME GUARANTEE. ONE DAY MAYBE YOU'LL FIND THE BABY MAKES THREE! I'M THE LADIES CHOICE!"
Elise couldn't help but throw her head back in laughter at Louis' singing. He had thrusted his hips forwards, swung his legs backwards and forwards whilst spinning in a circle and acted like it was a rock song.
"You're such a frickin' retard," Elise laughed. Louis shrugged.
"But I'm your 'frickin' retard'," he smiled.

"I hate these boots," Carla whined as she attempted to tie them. Niall chuckled, shuffling closer to sit next to Carla; their hips touching.
"Want me to tie them?" Niall offered. Carla bit her lip, glancing around to make sure no one was watching them directly. She shook her head, bending over, her hands hovering over the laces on one boot so it looked like she was tying them. Carla squinted her eyes, smiling as the laces tightened and tied themselves. She did the same to her other boot before looking at Niall.
"Ready," she proclaimed. Niall stared at her boots in awe. Carla chuckled, waving her hand in front of Niall's face. "Niall?" Carla shot quite loudly. Niall jumped out of trance.
"That was so cool," he stated, looking at Carla. Carla blushed, smiling shyly before standing up. Niall stood up as well, following behind Carla and placing his hands lightly in her hips. They made their way onto the ice, careful not to bang into passing skaters or slip on the ice.
"Can you skate?" Carla teased as Niall clung to the side, shuffling along.
"Of course!" Niall said stubbornly, not wanting to seem pathetic in front of Carla. Carla laughed, grabbing his hand and skating a little bit faster, pulling him away from the side. Niall let out a little squeal, wobbling a little and grabbing Carla's wrist with his free hand. Carla rolled her eyes.
"Relax. The more you worry about it and try really hard to not fall over, the more likely you are to fall over. Just push your feet forwards in turn," Carla told him. Niall nodding, letting go of her wrist but still holding her hand tightly. He did as he was told, pushing his left foot across the ice, and then his right, alternating between feet. He still wobbled and lost his balance a little, but managed to grab it back and stay standing.
"If you catch me, you get a kiss," Carla stated, letting go of Niall's hands and skating off. She makes it look so easy, Niall thought. Trying his hardest to stay standing, Niall skated a little faster. He saw Carla waiting by the side at the top of the rink. He bit his lip, going a little faster. Just as he was 2 meters from Carla, some jackass cut him off, making him lose his balance and fall on his knee. He let out a cry, only having had surgery on it 3 months earlier.
Carla's eyes widened. With sudden urgency, she skating to Niall, helping him up and off the rink. Sitting on the plastic chairs, she untied their boots, deciding that was enough skating for today.
"Are you okay, babe?" She asked, holding her boots on her left hand, Niall's in her right. Niall nodded, biting his lip to hold back the whimper as he stood. He limped along side Carla towards the skate hire booth. Once they got their shoes back and slipped them on, Niall wrapped an arm around Carla's shoulder, using her for a little support as they walked across the street to Nando's.
"Remind me to never go ice skating again," Niall chuckled as they sat down at a table. They both grabbed a menu, scanning over what's available. "Sorry for ruining ice skating," Niall suddenly said sadly. Carla looked up, surprised and sympathetic.
"Babe, it wasn't your fault. It was that other guys' fault; the one who cut you off," Carla reassured, giving Niall a smile. Niall nodded, his gaze returning to the menu. He still thought it was his fault, but he wasn't going to ruin any more of the date by moping. "What you having?" Carla asked, not sure what to get herself.
"Peri peri chicken with chips," Niall told her, putting the menu down.
"I'll have the same," she decided.
The rest of their date when smoothly with no more extra injuries. Carla ended up driving home as Niall's knee was still painful. Carla forced Niall into agreeing to ring the doctors and book an appointment to get it checked out as that was what Niall's doctor said to do if it got really painful.

So there you have it. The story of how two abnormal girls found out that secrets can't always be kept, but it's not always a bad thing.
Take a risk.
Try something new.
Live a little.
