"You think you're different to me, don't you?" I tilt my head, staring at each other's lips.
Without breaking eye contact, he slowly stands, making him in control with the advantage in height. I'm the one looking up at him now.
"And you...

There's a loud silence around the room as I look at everyone's faces. Everyone talks at once adding onto the conversation.
Since I've become "known" around the school I've noticed that at this school social hierarchies exists. I already knew it but I didn't know to what extent. People are fake, they say what you want to hear just to join your circle and gain popularity.
I don't get why these girls chase popularity, nothing special comes out of it except having rumors about you. Someone spread the rumor about me being deaf which wasn't entirely just a rumor because it's true. That explains the mob of girls who have come talked to me to see for themselves and when they realize I can speak, they're shocked.
I've had interactions with some of the most stupid girls. I wish people had more common sense. My favorite question to hear was "If you can't hear, how can you talk?"
I would answer their blunt questions at first but then I started to have fun and mess with them. Sometimes I pretended like I couldn't hear them when they approached me just to get away. They see a hearing aid and they believe it.
I turned up my hearing aid, sometimes I turned it down for my own benefit because I just didn't want to listen to people at all.
"I heard she left cause she got knocked up." Jeremy gossiped, stuffing his muffin in his mouth.
I forgot why I had turned off my hearing aid in the first place. Lately, Annalise has been the main topic of discussion around the school. It's ironic because I told myself I didn't want anything to do with her and now I know more about her than ever before thanks to the gossip.
Apparently she got suspended for something but there has been hundreds of claims as to why she left school, the most popular one is that she got pregnant. It was a stupid rumor but I knew that wasn't true. She didn't look pregnant when I saw her.
It just turned out to be that she finally got shown the consequences of her actions, whatever she did, she was finally showing herself to the people she had mind wiped with that act of hers. It was annoying how much I heard of her being so perfect. People just kissed the ground she walked on, no matter what she did all because she's got a high social rank.
It's no wonder why she makes that her whole personality. People feed into her delusions.
"I've been texting her but I haven't gotten a reply and it's been two days. What if something bad happened?" Quinn looks around the table for reassurance but no doubt she wouldn't find any.
