Imagine if every emotion or thought towards someone, that was ever felt or thought, came with a great big blinking arrow. Have you ever thought about that? What if we just skipped the whole mystical wonder thing, and just looked at the arrows. Flashing above our heads, pointing to the person or thing we are thinking about. Imagine life. Imagine middle school hallways. Seriously. Close your eyes and think about a middle/high school hallway, where when ever someone thinks about someone, an arrow points at the subject. Insane huh? The arrows:
From his head to hers But she's thinking about him He's thinking about the girls over there. The girls over there. They laugh. And they watchin' me looking at him. Who looks at her
he thinks of him... etc. Just like that. Ah, if only everything and everyone were obvious. Or not. Don't really want my innermost feelings being advertised by an arrow. But if it were to happen, I hope my arrow is purple.

that would be interesting. im not sure it would be very good for each of us though.
have u read *a mango shaped space*? something like that happens in it.
Mango shaped Space is a really good book, although I don't quite remember about the arrows..........
That's an interesting idea, although I doubt it would work very well. It would be very distracting, and embarrassing. What if you were thinking about a boy you liked, and a bright purple arrow appeared above his head?
I think it's much, much better that we can keep our thoughts private!

The arrows are when the girl gets acupuncture and she sees people's auras around them, tangling and reaching for other's.
I agree with Maritza that it WOULD be distracting and embarrassing, yet to keep our thoughts private is not good at all. I mena, some of them should be kept private, but you're not going to get anywhere?get what/who you want without voicing your thoughts.
Oh right, I remember now. Thanks! It's been a while since i read the book!
That's true, you should voice some of your thoughts, but others should be kept inside. I guess I hadn't really thought of that. That's what I always have a hard time doing, my mouth seems unable to stop what I want to say, whether it's good or bad!
