MUTE [A Chris Colfer Imagine]

Mute 4/?

I woke up the next day as tired as anything. After Chris texted me, I texted him back and we both continued to play 21 questions until 4am. I learned so much about Chris in so little time, and in return, he learned quite a lot about me.

I had to get ready for school, but with only 3 hours sleep, I was very slow this morning. After turning my alarm off, I saw that I had 3 messages, 1 from Liam saying he'd meet me at our regular spot, and 2 from Chris.

[INCOMING MESSAGE: CHRIS] My favourite animal is Llama's, and if I could have one, then I would keep it but alas I don't own a Llama. I do have a cat called Brian though. Where's your favourite place to go on a date? ;] Xx

[INCOMING MESSAGE: CHRIS] I've got a feeling you've fell asleep, so I'll leave you to have a good nights rest. Goodnight beautiful. Xx

I could feel myself blushing every time he called me beautiful, nobody had ever called me that before and I was an insecure person - so him constantly calling that made me blush.

I texted him back before getting ready for school, it was going to be a horrible day, I could feel it, but with Liam by my side and the messages from Chris - I could get through it.

[OUTGOING MESSAGE] Oh cool! I've never thought of Llama's before but each to their own! Uhm.. I don't have a favourite place as I've never been on a date before. X

Going back to school after being absent for 4 days defiantly got everybody talking. It was horrible, and the worst part is that all of the bullies were saying horrible things that made my want to just turn around and go back home.

My main tormenter Jade made it her mission today to make me break but I wouldn't let her have the advantage. I had her in 4 lessons today, but it was lunch time when I was walking to an empty table that I snapped at her.

Liam didn't have the same lunch period as me, so I normally sat at a table on my own, but as I was walking to the table, Jade tried to trip me. Everybody watched on and laughed but I got made and did the only thing I thought of in that moment, and dumped my food on her head before turning around and walking out.

I headed straight for the library and gave a timid wave to the librarian, she was a nice lady. Once I was sat in the back, I pulled my phone out and smiled when I saw a message from Chris.

[INCOMING MESSAGE: CHRIS] You've never been on a date? But hasn't your boyfriend taken you out on dates before? X

I frowned.. My boyfriend? I didn't have a boyfriend. What was he on about?

[OUTGOING MESSAGE] Boyfriend? What boyfriend? I don't have one! X

I was surprised that Chris messaged me straight back, normally it would take him quite a while to text back as he was a busy person.

[INCOMING MESSAGE: CHRIS] Your boyfriend who you came to the signing with... X

My eyes sparkled with laughter. Chris thought that Liam was my boyfriend, clearly he had the wrong impression of me and Liam.

[OUTGOING MESSAGE] He's not my boyfriend Chris, he's my best friend. I don't have a boyfriend, I've never had one. LOL X

I put my phone on silent so that it wouldn't ring in the library, I forgot all about the book I pulled out of my bag in favour of speaking to Chris.

[INCOMING MESSAGE: CHRIS] Oh okay. I'm sorry for making the wrong assumptions. Now I know you don't have a boyfriend..

I wondered what he was talking about because that text message didn't make any sense whatsoever. But I didn't have to wait for long as another message followed not long after.

[INCOMING MESSAGE: CHRIS] I'm in your city for a few more days. I'd really love to take you on a date before I leave. So can I? X

I didn't understand him, why would he want to go on a date with me? I was such a mess and it would just be to complicated, especially as he didn't even live in the same city as me.

[OUTGOING MESSAGE] I'm trying really hard to understand Chris. I mean I'm such a mess and I'm not understanding why you want anything to do with me.. Also wouldn't it be awkward you asking me questions and me not replying?

The bell rang signalling that lunch was over. I packed up my things, keeping my phone in my hand as I made my way to my next lesson. My phone buzzed but I ignored it until I got to my last lesson. I walked into the classroom and everybody stopped talking and stared at me - I ignored them and made my way to the back of the class. Everybody followed my movements but jumped when Jade stormed in. I looked up at her and couldn't help but feel satisfied in some way. She looked like a drowned rat and in all honesty, she deserved it.
She stormed up to my desk and smacked her hands down on the table.

"You're gonna regret this you bitch," She growled loud enough for everybody to hear. I didn't even blink at her, she didn't scare me. She thought she was hard but she wasn't, she just liked to make herself look good while people were around. "I'm gonna make sure you pay for this and this time you won't be selective mute because I'll rip your vocal chords out so you can't speak at all."

I rolled my eyes at her then looked down at my phone as she stormed away angrily. I opened the message from Chris feeling satisfied.

[INCOMING MESSAGE: CHRIS] What is there to understand? I want to get to know you and take you out on a date. Do you know sign language? I can understand it. X

I did know sign language, I just didn't use it because I didn't have anybody who understood it. Liam had tried his hardest to learn it, but he couldn't get the hang of it and I couldn't blame him because it was hard to get the hang of.

[OUTGOING MESSAGE] I do know it. X

I didn't have chance to put my phone away before it buzzed under the table.

[INCOMING MESSAGE: CHRIS] So what's stopping you from coming on a date with me? I can talk and you can sign back to me if you're comfortable doing that. I'd really love to meet you tomorrow and take you for a date. So what do you say beautiful? X

I didn't know what to do, I could say no but that would probably make Chris upset, but if I said yes, then me and Chris would both be happy. I deserved some happiness right? I grinned and sent Chris a final message. A message that didn't stop me from grinning all day.

[OUTGOING MESSAGE] It's a date! X
