~*^*~Sub's POV~*^*~

I sigh as I walk through the hallway to the Tech bus, slipping between people who were like me, "special". 'As if!' I think, then I skitter out the large glass doors of my school hoping I hadn't missed the bus. You see, I'm blind and mute, horrible mix right? And to make it worse, I'm a nerd, I have very few friends, and the reason why I have so few: I'm Bi. Yea... A blind, mute, nerdy, friendless, bisexual freak or "oddity" thats a word I use to describe myself. I tighten my white cloth blindfold and feel my way onto the bus, only to be stopped.

"Sub, this is the athletics bus, tech was cancelled because Mr. Grabeal isn't here, remember?" Coach Base says, and I hear laughter coming from the idiotic brutes on the bus. I grit my teeth in annoyance and let out another sigh.

'Sorry, sir I didn't hear any announcements, and I thought the athletics bus was supposed to go to the other side of the school' I signed, and before any chance for an answer I turned and stepped off the bus and felt my way to the closer door that leads to the cafeteria. I walk in and not really trying, run quietly through the 'normal kids high school' and into where, as my teachers say, "I belong" in other words, the special needs school. Whoever designed this school is an idiot! I step into Room 1 and listen for any sign of life.

"Guuuhb!" A voice I know too well exclaims. It's Benny, a younger teen with speech disabilities because he's deaf.

'Hi Benny! Is tech in here?' I sign, hoping I don't look like a fool. I shift from one foot to another, waiting for a response only I'll be able to understand.

"Yuhh anfff uh nue kiiia ish hea" He says and grabs my hand, pulling me towards the right corner of the room, I hear someone breathing sharply and quickly, 'Poor kid' I think, this class is pretty scary, mostly physically disabled with a few deaf including Benny, me being the only mute.

"Guhhb thysle Ethun, heesh moot!" Benny exclaims happily as always.

'Another mute?' I wonder, then realize I haven't introduced myself.

'I'm Sub I'm blind and, like you, mute, oh and are you ok? You're breathing from what I can hear, sounds scared.' I sign then mentally slap myself for being abrupt. But my interest is peaked when I hear paper being moved and wrote on. I tense slightly as, hopefully Ethan, grabs my arm and puts my fingers onto small indentions in the paper, then I realize, it's Braille!

'I'm Ethan, nice to meet you Sub! And yea the kids in here are kinda scary, what kind are they and how do you understand Benny?' Is what's written, I smile then sign,

'One: the kids are mostly physically disabled with a few deaf, including Benny, and Two: I've been friends with him since Pre-K! Oh and can you describe to me what you look like please?' Almost automatically I hear more writing.

~*^*~Ethan's POV~*^*~

I begin forming the little dots that Sub can read, while Benny is off to the side smiling and looking from Sub to me, to Sub and repeating the process. Slightly unnerved, I finish writing and pull Sub's hand back to the paper, that now describes my appearance. I watch as his lips form a smile and I almost melt from as any fangirl would say: "The kawaiiness." Then automatically my subconscious roars at me that he's probably not gay like me, and that I just met the guy! Sub's hand then moves to begin signing something and I snap to attention.

'Lucky, I've always liked the blue-ish gray kind of colors!' He signs and I smile, then write down more indented dots, asking what color his eyes are. He 'reads' it and frowns but quickly hides it with a smile. Which, in turn, makes me frown, and mentally bash my head against a wall. 'You idiot! That was a stupid and sensitive question!' My subconscious again screams at me, but Sub moves to answer, and I'm attentive once more.

'They used to be green I think... Lime green like my shirt...' He signs slowly, probably hurt by my heartless question. I quickly write an apology, and ironically I realize that green has been my favorite color since 2nd grade! 'Achievement get: First cliche with first crush at new school!' I mentally joke with myself. I then write the first part of that-the part about green-and add the joke to hopefully cheer him up a little. I finish and shift the paper his way allowing him to read it and signaling him to read it in the first place. His small fingers ghost over the green part, he grins and he feels the joke part, making him smile widely, but then he... Blushes? He shifts the paper back to me, and I scan it to see what he blushed about, 'Oh my god are you serious?!' My subconscious and I both think, horrified, I forgot about the crush part! My eyes widen as my mind scrambles to think of an excuse, settling on one I write that it was a miss-translation and that I meant "friend", hoping he doesn't see through the lie, I shift it back to him, the both of us are blushing. He reads it, and suddenly looks... Sad? I blink and he's got that cute smile on his face again... Huh, must have been a trick of the light... Anyway, he hands the paper back to me, and I'm about to ask what time it is but sadly my time with him is up, in other non-fancy wordplay, the bell rang. I stand and pull Sub up off the ground, he taps my shoulder as if to make sure I'm looking and signs,

'Can I see your schedule? Oh and I appreciate you writing in Braille for me, but I can read normal writing too! Sorry for not telling you this earlier.' He cocks his head and gives me a smile that my heart HAD to of stopped for a moment it was so adorable!

~*^*~Sub's POV~*^*~

I listen as he freezes for a second, then breathes out quickly, 'what? I only smiled...' I wonder then the nerdy part of my brain kicks in, it gives something so simple, just three words, that make my face heat up faster than a cheetah! 'He likes you!' The theorist part of me screams. Fingers snap me back to reality, literally, Ethan was snapping his fingers in front of my face rapidly. I shook my head to hopefully clear my thoughts and grab the paper that Ethan was guiding my hand to, I brush my fingers over it and grin.

'Out of 7 classes, guess how many we have together!' I pause for effect. '5!' I hear chuckling, but with no voice? 'Is that you?' I sign, but before he can answer, I yank him into English just before the late bell rings, if you're wondering how we got in our lockers during all of that, we didn't and couldn't because we simply don't HAVE lockers! (A/N: SUB STOP BREAKING THE 4TH WALL!) Ok geez! Anyway, Mrs. Bowen looks at us,

"Close one Subarino! So whose the new boy-buddy ya got there?"

She winks and I blush, burying my face in my hands, she laughs but silences as, I'm guessing Ethan introduces himself to the class. I make my way to my seat, knowing the path by heart, and surprisingly I don't get tripped! Did Benny forget to tell me that Ethan looks super tough or something? I sit down and grab my Braille edition of ''Wolves Of The Beyond'' and begin 'reading'. A few minutes later I feel and hear movement in the seat in front of me, that seat is supposed to be empty... I hope it isn't one of the a-hole undesirable kids that only got put in this school for their grades. I feel a tap on my shoulder, and I tense, only to hear the now familiar crackling of paper being messed with. Is the person Ethan? I seriously hope so, I'm pretty sure we're friends. I hear writing and about a minute later a paper is placed on my desk. I feel what was written and smirked slightly.

'Is the book good? Cuz if it isn't you have some serious problems, Katherine Lasky rocks!'

'Yes, the book is great! I'm surprised Faolan and Edme haven't became PawFast yet!' I sign with a smile. He writes something down and scoots the paper to me, and guides my fingers to the new sentence.

'So you haven't read that far yet? Ok no spoilers!'

~*^*~time skip to after school~*^*~

~*^*~No-One's POV

Sub and Ethan had walked to Benny's house after school, then traversed to Sub's house to hangout in his backyard. They 'talked' about music, bands, schools, people, and old friends. Sub showed him his sketch book, that had many animations he made, then they watched some animations that 2 of Ethan's friends from his old school had made on YouTube. It was around 7:30 that Ethan left for home, and Sub had gone to bed, but he couldn't sleep-he couldn't stop thinking about the silver-haired red-eyed mute-that he'd known for only half a day-but he'd already gone and gotten a crush on the guy! When he finally fell asleep-he didn't realize it-but the last thing he thought was, 'I'm gonna tell him, someday!'
