  He stood there waiting for me to say something. I felt my heart bounding. Unsure of my next move. I sighed and grabbed his hand. He didn't say a word he just followed me leaned. I sat on the nearest bench and patted the bench to tell me "Sit". He sat down never taking his eyes off of me. I took my speak pad out. I began to write. "I'm mute I always have been meaning I can't speak when I was born the doctors found out my voice box wasn't connect to my thought there for making it impossible for me to speak" I wrote. He read along as I wrote.

  When I looked up at him. His expression was unreadable. He put both his hands through his hair and took a deep breath. Then he looked at me.

  "Well that's .......different" he finally said. I put my head down and frowned. I felt his finger go under my chin. He pulled my face up to his.

  "Good thing I like different" he said then smiled. My heart filled with joy and a huge smile slide across my face. We sat there staring into each others eyes. I finally moved. He sighed.

  "Wait is that why you ran off the day we met" he asked. I looked at him and put a sideways smile before nodding.

  "You could have just told me" he said. I put my head down and began to write "Yeah but then you probably would have run off any other guy would have". He read it then looked up at me.

  "Well I'm not like other guys" he said grinning. My heart skipped a beat. He laughed a little then sat up. He held out his hand. I looked from his hand to him. Confused and unsure what to do. He laughed.

  "I won't bite" he said still laughing. I smiled and took his hand. He pulled me up.

  "What do say we go for a walk around the park" he asked me pressed against his chest him still holding my hand. I nodded.

  "So.." he began. I looked at him then began to laugh.

  "You just move here" he asked. I nodded.

  "Me too well I already lived here just moved to different building to be closer to school" he said.

  "You really thought I would run off' he asked. I nodded in a shy way. He shook his head and smiled then took my hand.

  (Later on my way home with Deuce)

  We walked across the street. Deuce still shirtless. Girls smiled as he pass by. I got a little angry even though he's not really my boyfriend or anything we haven't even went on a date. I paused at a store that read "Now Hiring". Deuce stopped with me. As soon as I saw it I thought of the dress from "Fearless".

  "What" Deuce asked. I pointed to the sigh. He nodded and walked over to the door. He opened it.

  "Lady's first" he said smiling. I walked in a mouth "Thank you".

  "No problem" he said. I walked over to the counter. The women standing there at the counter looked at me. She took out a dry erase board then wrote "are you here for the job". I smiled I knew it. I nodded. She smiled and wrote "Are you mute". I nodded. She handed me a application.

  The stores name is "Mute". So I figured someone in here has to be mute.

  (Later at home)

   I put the job application on my desk.  Then looked across the street to see Deuce just entering his room. He looked up and smiled and waved. I walked over and closed my curtains. I pressed play on my ipod then through myself on my bed. Wow today is awesome!!! First everything with Deuce and then finding the perfect job for me. My mom walked in.

  "I'm not interrupting you am I" she asked. I shook my head "no".  She sat at the edge of my bed. I picked up my speak pad.

  "What's up" I wrote.
