"Okay, class were gonna start wrapping things up in about five minutes, so all papers need to be turned in to this bin shortly." Ms. Evans; her math teacher spoke.
Harlem could barely understand what was going on since her teacher spoke with thick accent on purpose and her interpreter couldn't sign that fast nor understand what was being said.
I wish this woman would speak regularly like she used to. She does this on purpose
"Harlem! Are you getting this?" Ms. Evans snapped causing everybody to look at Harlem.
'Yea. I am' She signedso the interpreter could relay the message to her teacher.
"No, you need to speak!"
I should take these hearing aids out so then i really won't hear her rude
"Yes, I'm doing fine." Harlem mumbled. She hated speaking because her voice sounded kinda funny due to her being deaf and kids would laugh at how it sounded.
"She sound like she got food in her mouth." Some girl said from across the room causing kids to chuckle.
girl that used joke... come harder
"She belongs in the room with the slow kids." Another student said.
okay, cause that one hurt
"She probably is special ed... I bet if I knock over this desk she gone hear it five seconds late." A boy named Demetrius cackled.
"I hope she knock y'all asses out. Talk so much shit all cause she a lil deaf, but when she knock the taste out y'all mouths I bet y'all gone shut the fuck up." Harlem snapped her head to where the voice was coming from.
She looked at a pretty known girl at their school. Harlem was shocked that someone actually stood up for her. Normally, people would laugh or mind their business.
Jonnai saw her staring and waved. "Come sit by me girl."
She read her lips and grabbed her belongings before making her way over there.
Someone stuck their foot out causing her to stumble, but not fall completely.
Harlem felt her face get warm as everyone laughed at the way she almost fell. "You deaf and blind? Damn." A student said lowly.
Please don't cry.... not right now
The bell rang, so Harlem quickly darted her way out of class and into a restroom stall.
