The teacher stops speaking and looks at me, the whole class looks back at me and I stare back. "Oh hello, didn't expect you to be here so quick, anyways why don't you introduce yourself?" I look at the teacher and she looks back, I dig through my pockets and find a notepad, I grab a pen out of the teachers cup and write I'm mute on there, she then tells me to introduce myself on the note, that sounds nerve racking, I look at the class and begin writing, finally I finished.
Anyways, I give it to the teacher and she reads it, I stand while everyone looks and her and stares at me, I can see there eyes going back and fourth. I don't like it, after she finishes she compliments me on my grammar and tells me to sit next to someone named Hannah. Hannah is a brunette with beautiful green eyes, and perfect lips. Like I'm almost jealous. Hannah looks and me and smiles, "Hello! I'm Hannah, as you probably know by now. I'm honored to sit next to you, and I know sign language! I hope we can be friends" she says with joy, I look at her and don't smile and I slowly start to, I sign that I'd love to be her friend, and she smiles and we pay back attention to class.
It's after class, I go to my locker and Hannah's locker isn't far from mine. Hannah comes up to me and hugs me, I feel anxious but I go with it. I start to wonder who that boy was, that I bumped into. I hug Hannah back and use sign language to ask her who that boy was with blonde curly hair and green eyes, trying my best to explain him. She then says "oh, Noah? It sounds like you're explaining him, here I can help you find him and maybe let's see if he's the one!" I almost say no because that sounds awkward but I refuse to because she's to kind to reject, she drags me by the hand and we find him, I can tell, it's him. "Soo.. is that him?" Said Hannah pointing, he looks back and asks "uh, what about me?" I then stare, he stares back. "Oh hey mute girl I seen and I guess helped this morning" I stare but don't do anything, I wanna leave. I stare and start sweating, everyone is looking at me, I look up at him and I run, out of anxiousness I get the stuff out of my locker and go to my next class, everyone stared. What a great impression on a first day. I go to my next class science and Hannah is in there too, she then asks what that was about, I shrug and played it off like nothing happened, when I know something did.
