*flashback*I was always very quiet ,sure I talked a lot but I whispered, I NEVER shouted or screamed or yelled. It was something that made me ,me. I was always known as the quiet girl over there or the mouse that doesn't squeak.All that had started the day I met Louise.
It was The September of 2013, the first day at a new school, fifth grade to be exact , I was directed to the auditorium where all the new people go on the first day of school (every fifth grader was in there because this new school started at fifth grade so we were all new). In the auditorium I sat with a group of people I didn't know (we were divided by zip codes) then came one person I knew ,her name was kayla. I knew her from the summer . I basically stuck with her the whole time we were in the auditorium because I didn't have anybody else to talk to because I didn't know anybody else .
After some time in the auditorium we were sent up to our different homerooms. There I saw Louise ,I knew Louise from Girl Scouts. She saw me I saw her we both ran to desks next to each other so we could sit together. We began talking (what we didn't know was that everyone was quiet). So it was basically just Louise and I blabbing and talking until Louise said something . She had spilled one of my darkest secrets. Louise said " hey isn't that kid jake you like in our class ?" I slightly turned my head and saw jake in the corner of the classroom blush but not because he was flattered but because he was embarrassed but I mean who wouldn't be.Everything went dead silent, everything paused.Then all you could hear was a slapping noise. I had slapped Louise on her cheek leaving a red burning mark. Loudly I said " shut up !" My face turning red. Louise still in shock got out her chair and ran to the girls bathroom sobbing. Of course I was sent to the principals office in the first day. I didn't feel sorry for what I did she deserved it. From that day on I never spoke loudly or screamed I only spoke in whispers. I never talked unless spoken too, and If I did say something I said something serious and meaningful. My friends or the one friend I had called my words "loud whispers"
There I was an 11 year old girl living her 5-6 grade life not speaking in a normal volume.
The other kids made fun of me calling me a mouse or muted girl. I ignored their every painful nickname ,I knew they were just idiots all of them. And as for Louise I didn't care I never made eye contact with her or spoke directly to her. Sure call me a drama queen but as a 5 grader I was didn't think that situation was a small thing I thought it was the biggest situation. Jake never talked to me or even acknowledged me from that day on. That day I started to dislike Louise with a burning passion. It was a silly thing then but a serious issue now. * flashback ends*
