"Miss Kuriyama, your assistant is waiting for you by the main entrance. Please follow me."
I followed the Head of the school to my school assistant. She's going to help me organize my things, and help answer questions on things I can't understand.
I specialize in art, and I can't speak. I have a very minor autism and I'm mute. My parents left me because of this, and Mister Kuriyama sensei took me in. He's my only family.
The head showed me the assistant, and we shook hands. She took me to the interviewing like room, and asked,
"Miss Kuriyama, what is your name?"
I took out my tablet, and wrote:
My full name is Kuriyama Shiro, aged 14 and I have minor autism, and can't speak, so I have a tablet to help me communicate with people.
The assistant nodded, and replied,
"Well, Shiro chan, my name is Miss Hanabi. Pleased to meet you."
I then typed:
Nice name Miss Hanabi,
I hope you're just like a firework
Miss Hanabi laughed, and whispered,
"Yes, you've figured it all out."
And we left the room to my new class.

"OIIIIIIII!!! JAIDA SAAAAANNN!!!"
The 15 year old Joy ran up to her friend with a piece of paper,
"Jaida!!! Look at this AMAZING piece of art!!! I found it on the way here stuck to a lampost!!!"
Jaida's long black hair flew past her face, and she finally payed attention to what she was saying,
"Joy, did you just rip someone's advert of the lampost again?!"
Joy looked at her with puppy eyes,
"But they were everywhere! Even if I did take one, there's still millions!!!"
Jaida face palmed herself, and sat at her desk next to Joy,
"Okay, I get it. Did you do the project anyways?"
Joy looked at her with a pale face,
"Did....we....have....a.....PROJECT?! WHAT DO YOU MEAN?!"
Jaida hit her head on the desk, and looked at her,
"THE ONE ABOUT EXPLODING WATERMELONS!!!"
Joy silently mouthed 'o', and rummaged through her bag for her project poster. Jaida took out her camera, and started to polish it clean,
"Awwww, come on!!! What's with the camera Jai chan?"
She looked at her, and ignored her. Joy sighed, and took a quick power nap before the teacher came in.
Another girl walked in, with one bright green eye, and a long fringe covering her other mysterious eye. She had red and purple headphones, and she was continuosly listening to music, whilst reading fanfiction on her phone.
Joy looked up, and shouted,
"CATHY CHHAAANNNN!!!"
Catherine looked up from her phone, and waved her hand in a big circle, then ran away,
"Awwwwwgh, why does everyone run away?"
"Because your way to cheerful, and everyone thinks your too weird."
Jaida patted her on the back, and carried on polishing, whilst Joy was feeling extremely giggly, and pretended to cry at the same time.
The teacher came in, and wrote someone's name on the board. Catherine looked at the board carefully, and mumbled,
"Kuriyama Shiro....New student eh?"
And she carried on reading her 'Spamano' fanfic.
The teacher hit the board, and cleared his throat,
"Okay students, we have a new student, as you can see, is called Shiro. Now, she isn't any ordinary stude-"
Catherine immediately stood up,
"SIR, IS SHE A HOMESTUCK TROLL? TROLLS AREN'T ORDINARY THIS TIME."
The teacher glared at her, and she sat down, ignoring the fact that she just spoke.
"Like I said, she is no ordinary student. She has slight disorder, and she can't speak."
The class started whispering about this mysterious student.
"I want all of you to be nice to her, and if I see anyone hurt her, and I mean ANYONE, Your dead the next minute, understand?"
The class nodded, and the teacher signalled her to come in.
Shiro's wavy light grey hair was tied into two small pigtails with purple ribbons at the sides, with bells of an orange and yellow colour. She took out her tablet, which somehow bluetoothed to the projector, and typed:
Hello, My name is Shiro Kuriyama, and I'm 14 years old.
Nice to meet you everyone.
She bowed, and took a seat next to Catherine. Joy and Jaida kept looking back at her, watching every action she does very carefully....
Like proffessional stalkers...
The break bell rang, and everyone ran up to her,
"Hey Shiro!!! Can I call you Shi?"
"Hey new girl! Wanna hang out with us?"
"Come join our new club!!!"
"O-M-G, you are SUPER cute you know?"
"YOU COULD BE A MODEL!!!"
Shiro couldn't bare having a crowd surrounding her, ans crouched down under the desk, whilst covering her ears.
Catherine stood up protectively, and shooed everyone away. She looked underneath the desk, and said,
"Hey, Shiro, they're gone for good now, you can come up."
Slowly, she crawled out of the desk, and ran away. Catherine started reading her fanfic again, but realized she didn't know where she was going,
"Oh no, this is bad."
And she rushed outside the classroom to find her.
(Shiro looks a bit like the picture above.)
