Dakota hardly managed to pull her head off the desk long enough to glance back up at the white-board and scratch a few more etchings onto her notepaper before burring her face back in her desk, trying to enjoy the comfort of the darkness. It still did nothing to block out the aimless thoughts of those around her, but it helped to be able to see nothing but black whilst everyone else' daydreams tried to crowd into her own mind.
"Kill me already." She murmured. The whole point of Beata was to learn how to control your power, wasn't it? But things weren't getting any better for her. The Spring wished her gift had some sort of off switch at least.

In an instant, things became way too clear for comfort. Her eyes slit and darted over to where another young woman sat, all perfect and pretty. For a moment, Dakota doubted herself, wondering if she'd heard the stranger wrong, but the longer she focused in on her thoughts, the brighter her face burned red.

The majority of the students stood then, in a rush to leave and throw their poor math-books in the trash presumably. She stayed behind, staring daggers into the girl's back, daring her to make a move... or just
think another - ... This was all so unbelievable.
