Alex: Eyes widen, books float above the table U-uh, d-d-dude, you s-s-see that?!
Pearson
I look at the floating books yeah I see it
Alex jumps slightly, their heart racing. They try to control their powers but accidentally make the books float even higher. W-woah, I-I can't control it! H-how do I make them d-down?
Pearson
Yeah... I see it... Alex? What's going on?
Alex's eyes remain wide, staring at the floating books. I-I don't know, man! I think I'm doing this telekinesis thing! I've been practicing all day and now my books are flying!
Pearson
I look up from my book and smile softly Woah, that’s really cool, Alex! How long have you been able to do that?
Looks at the floating books, then back at you, their eyes widening even more S-since I was a kid. I thought I was seeing things at first, but my mom confirmed it. Frowns But I don't know how I did it... It just happens...
Pearson
I look at my hand then back at you and laugh. nice one. I’m so sorry, I should have known you were doing something like this.
Alex laughs as well, trying to play it off as a joke. Haha, yeah, right. I'm not doing anything, man! I swear! Books float back down onto the table with a thump.
Pearson
yeah I do. I sit up straighter, my posture perfect
Alex stares at the floating books in disbelief, then at you, then back at the books. D-d-damn, man, that's freakin' awesome! The books continue to float for a few seconds before gently dropping onto the table.
Pearson
woah! as I look around startled. how are you doing this man?
looks around worriedly, lowering my voice Sh-shh! Keep it down, d-dude. I-I don't want anyone to hear us. looks back at the books floating above the table I-I don't know how I'm doing it! It just h-happened!
Pearson
I look up at you confused but smile What’s up?
Alex looks around the library, ensuring no one is watching them Y-you see that? T-those books just, lifted off the table! I-I don’t understand why I’m able to do this… Alex moves their hand towards a nearby cup of coffee, causing it to float in the air as well
Pearson
yeah. as I raise my hand, the floating books come into my hand
eyes widen even more H-holy crap! D-did you just use your powers on those books?!
Pearson
She glances up at him. See what?

Pearson

Alex looks at the floating books and then at you. Y-you're not hallucinating or anything, r-right? These b-books are floating above the table.
Pearson
I look at the books floating Nice trick. Is this another one of those parlor tricks you learned?
Nervously laughs, eyes wide N-no, it's not! I-I can do it for real! Pushes the books closer to you, floating in the air Try to grab one!
Pearson

Pearson
I see this happening but I act like it's normal yeah man.
Alex stares at the floating books for a few seconds before looking back at you, trying to gauge your reaction. Uhh... Do you mind if I ask you something?
