Muted minds

Chapter 7- Phoebe

Naomi P.O.V

"Naomi? Wake up ...." I heard my mums usual cheery voice trying to coax me out of my sleep. No I wasn't going to wake up!

"Naomi if you don't wake up i'll get the cat to sit on you " she taunted, NO NOT THE CAT!

"you asked for it "... I sat up abruptly as she was holding the cat above me just about to sit him on me.

"I knew that would work" she grunted while lifting the cat up " he needs to go on a DIET" I nodded my head in agreement.

"Oh and Naomi?" she said "you have 10 minutes to get ready or your going to be late "

I stood up with my duvet dropping wrapping around my ankles as I tried to walk forward i tripped over face planting. pebbles decided it would be a good time to sit on me ...

After a severely clumsy time of getting dressed I ran downstairs grabbing my bike keys and helmet .

"Be safe!" my mum yelled as I left the house. I got on my bike and started it up and went on my way.

"YOUR LATE" well no shit... I got here 20 minutes late and got lost for another 10 looking for the computer room i was suppose to be in .'Sorry miss I woke up late and got lost' I showed her my note and she excused me since I was new.

"psst over here " I looked around and saw Phoebe in the corner of the room practically invisible other than the light on the computer screen. she waved me over so I obliged walking to her creepy little corner.

"oh this is my secret corner I sit here and stalk bands" she answer my confused look so i nodded and sat next to her. "I think this is the only lesson I like since I can do what I want" she said randomly "I can listen to the music I like without being judged" she smiled and me with a sad look in her eyes.' Hey at least your not mute like me:) and I'm sure your music taste isn't that bad!' I wrote to her.

"I'm into the punk type of music" I looked up at her grinning "Oh and heavy metal/ Rock, you know the one you get judged for even though the words have meaning unlike most 'popular music' these days" 'I agree' I wrote 'I love that type of music who do you listen to?' I wrote showing her the note I wrote down.

"REALLY?!" she boomed. After I calmed her down she started to list down some bands she listened to "black veil brides, slipknot, Pierce the veil, bring me the horizon and oh the list could go on" I stared at her in shock then hugged her.

"whoa I'm guessing you like them to ?" she asked as I nodded my head enthusiastically as she laughed. ' Does Ayra not like them?' I wrote down showing her the note . she gave a sad look again.

"no, she use to bully me. everyone in this school did when I openly wore my band shirts I was called a goth, emo you know all the stereotypical names so I kind of pretend to like stuff I don't really like and I changed pretty much everything about me" she explained, I looked at her sadly and hugged her again I could read her thoughts as she thought about all the times people hurt her verbally and physical. It was horrible.

'Im here for you now, you can be who you want no matter what people say' I wrote showing it to her with a big grin I could hear how grateful she was and I'm glad to have a friend like her.
