His face lights up with a smile when he notices me walking into the room on Tuesday.
Why?
What is there in me he sees?
I sit and stare at the board, pretending not to see.
Class continues from where it left off on Friday; what about Monday's lesson? I decide to ignore it, as now I'm not missing any work. I can tell it confuses him, I do my work diligently and maintain a 3.6 GPA, but I do not speak. I do not speak, and I do not communicate through writing. I could and would have a 4.0, except for the creative writing assignments. I'm not ready. How could I ever be?
People here don't know my story, but what if someone found out?
I'm not only the crazy girl whose mute button is on, but I'm also the girl who caused the deaths of her parents.
"murderer."
They would whisper.
killer, watch out, she might go after you or your family too. Who knows what she's capable of?
Yeah, that would be extremely helpful with my life goals.
I dream of getting into the University of Rochester, in New York. A nice clean sweep, no one would know me there. No one really knows me here. However, I am taking no chances.
