Mavis looked at the new girl, Rachel, as she decided to sit next to her. The girl gave Mavis a smile and Mavis returned it with a ghost of a smile and then quickly averted her eyes, in favour of looking at the teacher and the whiteboard as the teacher began explaining class procedures.

After a few minutes she took out a notebook and started doodling, looking at the board was starting to give her a headache; too much information overload. She had a photographic memory, but there was just something about it that made it different from the textbook definition. One of the symptoms of her ability was that sometimes too much information at once is a sensory overload that causes her to get severe headaches, to alleviate this problem she has to focus all of her attention on drawing or so other simple task that isn't as taxing. It's not like she won't remember everything the teacher says, for some reason her photographic memory expanded to hearing as well, she could recall conversations whenever she wanted to. Anything she heard or saw. These were the intriguing things about her ability, the things that no one seemed to believe.

She kept on doodling as she waited to see if Aria would respond to her note.
