Shelby's suggestion of Powers by Deborah Lynn Jacobs matches your description. What do you think?
When Adrian's dad moves the family to Rocky Waters, Ontario, the 11th grader feels angry and out of place. Then he meets Gwen, with whom he feels a powerful, mysterious connection. Her presence empowers him to hear other people's thoughts; his presence allows her to see tragic events in the future. The psychic duo tries to rescue people from impending tragedies.
Some Goodreads reviewers say, "Gwen is what every girl doesn’t want to be in high school, invisible. Except she loves being invisible, she is a Watcher. She observes everyone else and enjoys being in the background. She writes for her town newspaper ... her best friend is her cousin, Joanna. Lately she has been having this same reoccurring dream with this boy that she doesn’t even know… Adrian is automatically attracted to Joanna and Gwen doesn’t want anything to do with him. As Gwen and Adrian spend more time together, they both realize they cant live without each other, unless they want to be unhappy."
Quotes from the book: From the tracks, the driver of the truck would see only fog. "Hey, we gotta warn him," Joanne yelled, wrenching open the car door. | "Artist guy on the school hockey team?" "So? Why not?" "Wrong image."
