Alec's POV
I slowly look around the coffee shop I walk into. I essentially scale the shop before I go up to the counter. I show the barista a two with my fingers and she says "whip or no whip?" I nod and she says "yes?" I nod again and she says "coming right up" smiling.To put it simply, I don't talk. Well, sometimes I will but most definitely not with random baristas. I have major anxiety when it comes to talking to people I don't know and just in general. So, I just don't do it. A mix of sign language, motions, a notebook, and a pencil should suffice.
The barista comes over with my hot chocolate and I sign 'thank you' to her and she smiles and says "you're welcome." Thank you is one many know so I use it a lot.
I pull out my "summer" homework which is just work my new teacher wanted me to complete before I joined their class. Its work that everyone should've completed over the summer but I just moved here, so I'm doing it now. Pre school school homework. I'm reading a dumb book and writing a book report. I hate books assigned by english teachers. They always suck so bad. The teachers are always so psyched to read them. I don't understand.
I drink my hot chocolate and do my schoolwork as I think about my first day at my new school. School tends to be pretty difficult for me. I mean, I don't talk and some teachers just can't get it through their heads that I don't need to be in sped classes cause I don't talk. Like calm down, I could probably be a grade ahead at this rate.
I look over when I see this boy walk in then he looks around like I did when I came in. He is so cute. A guy like that would never talk to me.
He orders and I just occasionally look over at him. He shyly smiles at me then he leaves.
Oh my god, I'm never going to see him again. He was just being nice. I shake my head and I keep doing my work until I get hungry. I sigh, getting up, throwing my cup away, and I leave.
Then I go home and eat a sandwich. I go up to my room and finish one of the books I was supposed to read. I write a book report on it then its pretty late at night at that point.
I finish the other book and I write till two in the morning. Lets get four hours of sleep for my first day of school. That's a great idea. Oh well, I got all my work done before it was late. I call that a win.
The next day
I wake up and I get ready for my first day of school. I leave the house, parents already at work, and I go to school.
I walk in and people are just yelling and whatnot. I walk into the office and one of the ladies say "good morning" smiling. I wave and I write down in my notebook: I'm new, can I get a schedule? She says "sure, are you supposed to be with Special Education?" I shake my head then I write down: I'm just not much of a talker, I could probably move up a grade. Can I get my schedule please?
She says "yes, of course" and prints my schedule then hands it to me. I look at it then I thank her then I walk to my locker. A couple guys come up to me that look quite threatening. One looks like an eighth grader and one looks like he's calm but super out of his mind at the same time. Probably older than me though.
I squint at them then they nod at me. The taller one says "you new?" I nod, looking at him like he's crazy or something. He says "are you trying to fight or something?" I shake my head and a tall guy with really cute hair comes over and says "leave the new kid alone." The eighth grader looking kid says "trying to start a fight, Miguel?" They walk away and the guy says "I'm Miguel" smiling and I smile, writing my name on my notepad. He says "not much of a talker?" I smile and shake my head.
Miguel say "I wouldn't be around those guys. Its a long story but I just wouldn't if I were you." I write down saying: I wouldn't anyway, they seem like douchebags. I'm Alec btw.
Miguel smiles saying "what do you have next?" I hand him my schedule and he says "AP English? Nerd" and I roll my eyes, smiling slightly, and he says "I'm taking it too." I almost laugh really hard at him. I smile and he leans against his locker and I stand next to him. He says "I was just looking at your schedule, now I'll actually find what you have first." I smile and he says "you'll love the history teacher. Lets go, I have him right now too."
The guy from yesterday walks down the hallway wearing a leather jacket and aviators. He runs his hand through his hair and when he sees me, he takes his aviators off, checking me out. I blush lightly and Miguel raises his eyebrows at me then we go to class.
I just ignore Miguels raised eyebrows as we walk to class. We get through the lecture part of AP History so now we can just talk and do our work. Miguel waves a couple guys over and they move chairs to sit across from our desks. I tap on the desk in front of Miguel and I gesture to the guys across from us. He chuckles saying "sorry, Brooks this is Hawk and Demetri. He's not a talker so don't take it personally." I write saying: or you can cause it might be personal, Miguel.
I look at him with my eyebrows raised and he says "is it me?" I smile, looking away, and I write saying: no, you're cool :)
