Wait… you're the girl that fell… you're in my head?! Paisley looked around wildly for the girl. She found her and saw that her head was down in her hands. I'm looking at you right now, lift up your head.

Meredith slowly obliged to keep from drawing more attention to herself. She rubbed at her face a bit to appear she was just tired, maybe hiding a yawn, as she looked for the owner of the other voice in her head. This is just too weird.
Once she saw the only person actively looking at her, Meredith gave a small wave. Hi.

… I know right? As Meredith waved slightly, Paisley did the same. Hello… soo I'm Paisley.

She raised a brow, Paisley? That's a Oooh wait! you can hear me! Great, as if being socially awkward was bad enough, now I'm mentally awkward… And you can still hear me… Dang it! She let her head thud against the desk. I’m sorry. I don't really have a filter on my thoughts yet. She turned her head back to face Paisley, giving her a weak smile. I’m Meredith.

Paisley giggled a little, but she quickly silenced herself. It's okay… I'm probably going to slip sometime soon… I'm honestly using all of my energy to not think about stupid stuff. It's nice to… meet you?? I don't know…

Meredith gave a slight giggle, sitting back up. That's a little reassuring. Nice to ”meet” you too, I guess. Though this is the strangest meeting I’ve ever had.

Same… but I have had some… strange meetings in the past… don't ask… Paisley smiled. So, do you want to 'actually' meet after class?

Meredith raised a brow. You know saying ”don’t ask” usually makes other people more curious. She smiled. Sure. That would be nice.

Paisley sighed. Ya see… er… ya hear… I don't know anymore… anyway, this is just the beginning of my strange thoughts… I'm getting tired again, and I just woke up. She laid her head on her desk since her brain was already super tired.

Meredith had to choke back a laugh. Not much of a morning person, huh? You don't have to explain the other strange meetings if you don't want to. I'm pretty sure this one wins though.

Noo not at ALL. I was late this morning and still half asleep when I got here. The teacher was speaking a little louder and Paisley lifted her head to see what was going on. Around her, she saw people getting up and going out the door. Oh FINALLY

Since class was over, Meredith allowed herself to actually laugh as she gathered her stuff. You said it. She paused for a moment facing Paisley. Did you want to meet at the door or just walk over now?

Uhh… shoot I have to actually meet her… oh shoot… you can hear this… I'm a mess… Paisley stood up as she grabbed her stuff shaking her head. I'll just come over to you and we can walk to the door.

It’s ok. Remember, I did the same thing earlier. Meredith tried to stay calm and gave Paisley a reassuring smile. Aw, great. Why do I have butterflies in my stomach right now? … I just did it again. Sorry. She winced a bit at her mental slip up.

Paisley stood still for a second with wide eyes. I literally did nothing with my hair… I look like I just woke up… why today or all the days… AHHGG this is so hard. She tried to smooth her hair down. It was a mess, she had taken a shower the night before and it dried in the weirdest ways. Jeez… I need to calm down… I never care what I look like when I meet people. What is this… She cringed at herself and started walking over to Meredith.

Meredith had to try really hard not to laugh, not wanting to embarrass Paisley and make a worst first impression, though she was almost shaking with the effort. It’s ok. We already know each other… kinda. I don't even wear makeup most days. But she did feel slightly underdressed. I usually don't care what I look like when I meet someone either. But you’re… I mean, I… I’m gonna try to shut up now until you get over here.

Paisley took way to many deep breaths as she approached Meredith. They were basically the last people in the classroom. "Hello, Meredith!" Paisley said with a smile and a wave.

”Hi, Paisley. Nice to actually hear your voice.” She smiled back.
Oh my god, that was cheesy. What is going on with me today? Get a grip Mer.

It's nice to actually hear your voice too… Mer She shook her head. "Oh my gosh sorry… let's just… let's go."

Meredith actually blushed, laughing. “It’s ok, it’s ok. I guess we’re just going to have to get used to this.” Walking towards the door. “Uh, what class do you have next?”

"Thankfully, I actually have a free period. It's perfect for days like this when I and still out of it." Paisley said with a laugh. "What about you?"

”Technically I have English but we're in the middle of a writing project so we can be in either the classroom or the library to work on it.” Meredith gave a small smile. And we can still talk without the librarian breathing down our necks, if you’d like. I’m pretty much done with my assignment anyway.

Paisley smiled back. So let's go the library then?… This is just so cool… Her eyes widened just a bit. "What happens when we get songs stuck in our heads!?"

Meredith laughed at sudden the exclamation, ”I’m not sure, maybe we’ll both suffer through it now.” She smiled. ”Or one of us could try to force the other to knock it off.” But now I'm curious about what would happen if there was a mental picture stuck, instead of a sound.

Paisley sighed. This is all so complicated… too complicated for my morning brain to deal with "Let's go to the library so you're not late for your class."

Meredith smiled with a brief nod heading down the hallway. Sorry. I'm gonna have to write myself a note or something so I remember that you're in here with me.

Yeah… probably multiple notes in my case. After a couple minutes, they got to the library. Of course, there was some random stuff filtering through Paisley's mind. She felt extremely bad for Meredith to have to deal with this and very embarrassed. She sat down at one of the tables.

Meredith couldn't help the small giggle, picturing half a dozen sticky notes with cute little reminders about their situation.
You don't have to worry about everything you think, you know. I don't think I can stop all of my thoughts and I'm not expecting you to either. She reassured Paisley sitting down with her.

Paisley had slight rosy pink on her cheeks. Thanks… is still feel so embarrassed… She picked up her backpack and found a book inside. … oh no… when either of us read the other will hear what you're reading…

Meredith glanced up at Paisley, raising a brow, I hadn't thought about that. … I wonder what that’ll be like. I have a bad tendency to skip a line or two sometimes. So I end up rereading… Do you imagine what the characters sound like when you read their parts? … So cute with that blush… Oh crap! Forget that thought. She quickly ducked her head to hide her suddenly red face.
