Every character in this story is over the age of 18. Any resemblance to anyone is coincidental and probably just means you are kind of a generic person.

I hear a lot of people wishing they could understand what was going on inside other people's minds. You hear it all the time "Oh I just don't know what they are thinking. I can't comprehend it!" It's a unanimous problem, partners, friends, co-workers, bosses, random people you meet on the street. Any situation that occurs between two people has a chance of one not knowing what the other is thinking.
Well except me. I guess it isn't really a unanimous problem if I am the exception. It's an almost unanimous problem to not know what others are thinking. I'm the exception to that rule due to the fact that I have, there really only is one word for it, telepathy.
Yep. I'm Ally the eighteen-year-old telepathic sixth form student. How's that for an introduction ha!
Greek tele for "distance" and pathos for "feeling" or, more accurately for me, "experience". Tele plus pathos, telepathy. Got to love etymology. In layman's terms, I can feel what others feel. Hear what others think. Know what others know. I can experience people's present alongside them. I have no need to worry about what people might be thinking, because I know, for certain. If I'm paying attention of course.
It doesn't work selectively. I don't choose someone and peek inside their mind. It's like being at a crowded party with lots of conversations happening simultaneously. I can focus on someone sure. But often there are an awful lot of voices. I have certainly gotten better at drowning some of them out and my headaches have calmed down significantly, but I still get a flood of thoughts whenever others are near.
I guess that is what caused my current predicament. The mass acceptance of hundreds of thoughts, images and ideas into my head every day of my life had some...side effects. I'm not really certain at what age I understood what was happening. What ability I possessed. But I figured out some of the full implications of my power upon myself in my teenage years and the effects have grown ever since. The effects became more apparent until now, at the age of eighteen, I understand the full implications of what it's done to me. The long and short of it is that it has made me insanely horny.
Yeah yeah, I know. Horny? Are you kidding? You have the ability to read people's minds. I thought this was about you becoming a superhero. Well I have news for you buddy. Life ain't that simple.
There are others out there. I'm pretty sure. If it has happened to me and I have no reason why, then it is just something that is happening. I didn't fall into any toxic waste or get bitten by any creature. What creature would give telepathy anyway? Ant or bee queens maybe? They have the whole hive mind thing going on right? That is to do with pheromones as far as I know so maybe I have something like that. Maybe I pick up on pheromones or electrical signals? Sorry, I'm getting distracted. Since I didn't have any specific thing that caused it and as far as I know I have had it my entire life, this ability, this power, I can only imagine it is genetic. Maybe I'm the first and it will only be my children that have powers, or maybe it'll start happening the world over, there are some stories already out there. People lifting cars off people or going into burning buildings are nothing unusual. Heroic, but normal. Recently though, there are an awful lot of them occurring with people my age. Who knows where it will go. All I know is, compared to whatever they have, telepathy isn't the best superpower to fight crime. I can see it coming maybe. If I'm there. But stopping it? Saving lives? I'm learning self defence and martial arts but I still don't think I can Kung Fu bank robbers even if I can spot them before they draw their guns.
Besides who goes into banks these days. All about that internet banking life!
So, where was I? Oh yeah, I'm really horny. No, come on, okay I'm not the best at phrasing things I know. The issue is I get everyone's thoughts. Constantly. Always. Every one of them bombarding me from every angle.
Puberty-was-a-nightmare!
Everyone's sexual awakenings all happening around me. Can you imagine! Every fantasy or memory of a sexual encounter anyone had was thrust upon me and lodged inside my brain. Do you know what it feels like to be sitting eating lunch with your friends on a bench outside and suddenly have like eight or nine sexual fantasies about us having a foursome dumped on you? Yeah, I'm looking at you, boys going to play football. Try to focus on your lunch time activities just a bit, would you? It's freaking hard to keep your legs together when your mind is immersed in images of your legs spread very wide for your best friend to dive in and bury her mouth into. Try drinking while your mind is swarmed with images of your lips and tongue wrapped around something that is definitely not a bottle.
And the sleepover/ pillow fight fantasies. They were everywhere. You mention to someone that you are having a sleep over and it's open season. I mean what is it with that fantasy? I chuckle to myself every time I get given a new wild idea of how guys attempt to get from me and my friends chilling out listening to music, to us removing our pj's and having positively rambunctious, lesbian orgies. I've had everything from the classic spilling water - "oh no I need to change now", to play fighting that gets hot and heavy (pillow fights are frequent of course). Tickling can be a rather cute one to start the fantasy, although there is a certain difference between tickling and shoving two digits into a tight hole. I even had one fantasy from this boy, Jake I think it was, who just imagined my friend Rosy falling and reaching out and oops, Kate's pj bottoms are just pulled directly down.
Of course, Kate was pulled down by the force and settled her puffy pussy directly onto Rosy's cute little face. It was great. Like the girl was falling forwards, flat onto her face five seconds ago. How is she on her back now, with her face up for Kate's pussy to neatly come to a rest on? Come on Jake. Put some effort into physics in your fantasies. You might not care but I have to watch them! Make 'em worth my time. Not to mention make them linger. There is nothing worse than a short fantasy that isn't your own. Enough to turn you on. Likely not specifically targeted at your tastes enough to properly get you there. Especially if you aren't anywhere you can covertly play. Regardless of the funny, unbelievable that get me and my friends into sexual situations in these fantasies, the parts that tend to follow, well, they are less funny to me, more... hot. As I said before. My power definitely has some impact on me.
I'm not certain if I would still be bisexual without my powers. Maybe I was already bisexual and my power didn't change anything, but I would find it hard to believe that there was any possibility I would stay fixed on one gender after being inundated with sexual thoughts for everyone I knew. Both genders. 24/7 - okay maybe just mostly 9-3... on school days - shut up. Point is, their discovery of masturbation, sex, their deepest kinks and fantasies, I was privy to it all. Even more so, I felt it.
People reliving their first times around me. Sorry, that now means I was there too. Super insecure about your first time masturbating last night with a toothbrush and not sure which end you should have used? Don't worry hun, I'm right there with you now. But yeah, use the other end. Or better yet get an electric toothbrush girl. Yeah, if I need to play with myself, I have plenty to draw from.
It has led to awkward circumstances for me sure. As much as the usual fantasy sleepover doesn't happen, at least not for me. I have more than once been forced to lay awake experiencing a friend pleasure themselves to orgasm.
Just last week it happened while I stayed over at Jen's house. Jenny has been attending my school since I joined and while not too close in our first year, we soon became thick as thieves. Her, Kate and Rosy make up my usual circle of friends and I love those girls. They are wonderful people and beautiful to boot. Which as I have mentioned makes hanging out with them around others a struggle as I am able to watch every sexual advance on them inside people's minds. However, despite what people might think, those incredible girls give out just as much as they get. They are the creators of sexual fantasies almost as much as they are the subjects.
-----------------
I lay on my back in Jen's bed with Jen by my side. The two of us easily had enough space to move around in her queen-sized double bed but Jen had managed to snuggle into my side as she slept all the same. Her red hair splayed out behind her as her arms were tucked up into her chest, mirroring her legs. Facing towards me she had placed her head half resting on the pillow, half kissing my bare shoulder. This was not especially unusual, I was used to Jen being physically close to her friends and to me, but I knew she would likely not stay that way. She tended to move around a lot while she slept. Kate and Rosy lay on the floor at the foot of the bed in the two sleeping bags they had brought.
It had been a fun night. Lots of chatting and gossiping, a bit of drinking and a bit of surfing the TV watching silly gameshows. Rosy as usual drank too much despite it being only a casual meet up and was very tipsy after only an hour. She was the first one to fall asleep and was currently snoring in her little pink pyjamas. We had just about managed to get her to dress herself in the bathroom before she was dead to the world and sighing gently. Rosy had slipped into her white strappy camisole and sleeping shorts and following that Jen and I decided to also switch into our sleepwear and continue our conversations in bed. Although I have seen Jens firm, toned and athletic body many times before and Kate's slightly smaller but smooth frame, it is always a joy to compare the realities of their bodies to the many fantasies of them I have been subjected to. I'm one of very few that know for sure that Jen has her little landing strip and Kate has her little bush. I did get a few flashes of comparison from Jen's mind as she looked at my breasts. Despite how athletic she is, and how proud of her body I know her to be, her breasts have always been a point of insecurity for her. As she went to pull her t-shirt over her head I snuck in a grasp of her boobs underneath her shirt.
