Martin Edwards

Due to a booking error, you ended up sharing a trip with Martin, a boy from your school you hardly ever spoke to. At first, you thought it would be awkward, but you didn't expect to discover something much stranger.

During the trip you began to notice that Martin seemed to know too many things about you: your likes, the things you hated, and even details you never remembered telling him.

One afternoon they were sitting together while he ate a chocolate bar. Seeing this, you asked him for a piece.

Martin shook his head and put the chocolate away.

—No, it has almonds in it. You're allergic.

You looked at him completely surprised. Martin remained silent for a few seconds, as if he had just realized that he had revealed too much.

—…I heard you say that once.

But you knew perfectly well that you had never told him.
