Day By Day

Chapter 3

When i walked into the first period which was ADVANCED MATH, everyone was looking at the new kid. He was sitting in the seat next to mine. i looked at the teacher and nodded my head. She looked at me and nodded back. Mrs. Love was pregnant with her second child. Her first one was a boy. his name was Case. She was hoping for a girl this time.
I walked over to my seat and sat down. the new boy looked at me and smiled. I did my best to smile back at him. Mrs. Love said that we had a new kid in our class. Which we all knew. She told him to stand and tell us hie name. She knew his name but she wanted him to say it to us.
He went to the front of the class and stood next to Mrs. Love's desk and looked at his new classmates and when his eyes got on mine they locked with mine. I couldn't look away. He smiled. "Hi. My name is Demon. i moved her from Cali. My mom works as a nurse and my dad is a doctor. they met when they were both very young. they named me Demon because they both believed if you gave a mean name in the end it would be good." The whole time he talked he was talking straight to me as if we were the only two in class. As if i wanted to know all of this. Which i did. I wanted to know everything about him.
He walked back to his seat and sat down. he looked at me and smiled. When Mrs. Love started to talk he looked at her, keeping his stupid smile on his face.

After second period was lunch. I loved lunch. So much time to sit outside and look at the world around us.
I walked to where i  normally would sit, which was under the big oak tree in the back of the school. when i got there Lacey was sitting there with Demon. I smiled and sat down next to Lacey. she smiled and looked over at demon slightly. She thought he was cute. i did too. He was cute. He had chocolate brown eyes, a nice smile, dirty blonde hair that slightly fell over his left eye. He was wearing faded blue jeans and a black hoodie. He looked like he couldn't care.
I started to eat my lunch. It was two pieces of pizza. Lacey started to talk about what she wanted to do this weekend. Which involved going to a party at Ed's beach house. Ed was Lacey's boyfriend. i shook my head no. but i knew she was going to somehow convince me to go with her. i would just end up sitting on the beach by myself.
Demon looked at Lacey and asked, "Can i come?"
Lacey said, "Yes if you help me convince Kase over here to go too"
He looked at me and smiled as if saying So that is your name. "Come on Kase, you have to come. I'll be there. Lacey will be there. Ed will be there. It will be fun."
I smiled and nodded my head. Lacey squeaked and Demon smiled. Yay!
******************
After lunch was my third period which was GYM! I hate gym with a burning passion in my soul. The teacher is never though. He is always hung over. I told the sub that i wasn't feeling good. I walked over to the bleachers and sat down a the row that was second from the top. Lacey had all classes with me besides this one. i sat by myself ans watch the girls walk out of the locker room wearing the skanky uniforms.
When the boys walked in I wasn't surprised to see that Demon was with them. He saw me and waved. i smiled and waved back.
He was really sweet. He had a very pretty face. He had nice eyes. Full lips. Oh those beautiful lips. I want to kiss those lips.
I shook my head and snapped my head out of that very weird thought. I didn't even know him well enough. How could i know that i wanted to kiss him.
I watched as the boys and girls both played volleyball together. Demon came over and sat with me. He smile and sat down next to me.
"So why aren't you playing?" Demon asked.
I looked at him and pulled out my phone and typed: I don't like playing while wearing those stupid uniforms. They are skanky.
He read it and nodded. He opened his mouth and then closed it. He wanted to say something but thought better of it, i guess.
I typed: If you were going to ask why I'm using my phone to talk to you it is because I am mute. I have for four years. It was a choice. My mom died.
He read it and looked at my. He hugged me and said in my ear, "I'm sorry to hear that. Do you think one day you will ever speak?"
I looked at him and thought about that question. it didn't seem stupid but it seemed like it would never happen. i didn't want to give him false hope but I didn't want to see him sad either. So i nodded my head to his question. he smiled.

As soon as I got home with Dean, I ran to my room and changed into some comfy clothes. I really didn't want to go to the party at Lacey's boyfriends house but i had already said yes. Is it too late to tell Lacey that I don't wanna go?
I fell asleep thinking about that question.
