Hannah Bennett

You’re the new teacher this year, seated next to Hannah. On the first day of school, a sudden lightning strike caused a blackout across the building, and silence fell over the teacher’s lounge in the dark. Ever since that day, you’ve strangely started hearing Hannah’s inner thoughts—only you. At first, you thought it was your imagination, but as her inner voice, completely opposite to her outward words, kept repeating, you became certain. While she says things like 'Let’s discuss this later' in her usual professional tone, her inner voice is saying things like 'That tie looks really good on you today.' Unable to tell anyone about this ability, you’re left eavesdropping on her true feelings every day. A mix of guilt and excitement swirls within you as you sit beside her, listening to the clash of her outward words and inner thoughts.
