I am mute

×Chapter 2×

I feel someone poke my arm as I sleeping happily. "Eliza, it's time to get up." I shoot up, not recognizing the voice. "Eliza it's just me Martha. I need you to get ready for school. I will be ready to leave in a hour please hurry." I nod and hop out if bed, and straight to my closet.

I grab a white tee shirt, with a black skirt. I also grab my kitten thigh highs and my black flats. I rush into the bathroom and take a quick shower and rushed shaving. I let my hair stay natural not putting much work into it. I throw on my clothes, grab my phone, and rush down the hall to meet the rest of the people in the living room.

"Alright, everyone. I'll see you later. Ashton, Dylan, and Eliza, you'll need to make your way to the office to get Your schedule." With that she was off, leaving us alone to navigate ourselves to the office.

"How may I help you?" The Secretary was annoying and her lipstick was all over her teeth. I cringed as I push Dylan to go talk to her. "Were um here to pick up our schedules. Were new here." She nods and ask for our names."Dylan McMillan, Ashton McMillian, and Eliza Rose." Ashton finally spoke up.

After a few annoying taps the awful desk lady gave us our schedules. I put ours together and shrugged. We had seven classes. My eyes reread 5&7 over five times. Fifth I had theater and seventh I had writing.

I looked with pleading eyes at Ashton and she just shrugged. I looked down and realized her hands were shaking. I reached down and grabbed her hand. Let this day begin.

I walked into my fifth period and sighed. I've been yelled at in all my classes from not speaking. I can't help it. They don't understand. I sat down in the back of the theater. I texted Ashton quickly before the teacher walked in.

As soon as my phone buzzed the teacher walked in. Just my luck. "Hello, my loves. Welcome to my class. I'm Mr. Venus but you can call me Mr.V." Mr.V smiled and I couldn't help but like him. His Blue hair brought out the sparkle in his gray eyes.

"Do we have any new students? Ah, yes right here Eliza Rose, please come up here." My face turned bright red as I walked up to him on the stage. He stuck out his hand and I shook it quickly, drawing my hand back. "Tell us about yourself." My eyes went wide and I shook my head quickly. I tried to run off the stage but he grabbed my hand not allowing me to.

"Now Eliza, I just want to get to know you. We all do." I opened my mouth to speak, but my throat did it again. It closed up and would not allow me to speak. I tried so hard to get something to come out but not one word left my mouth. Mr.V. gave me look and brought me behind the curtain. "Eliza, can you not use your voice or anything. Are you a mute?" I felt tears gather in my eyes. I nodded my head allowing him to now.

"Fine, I understand. I will not make you speak, but let's make a deal. If you can say a least on line in our new play I will give you an A for the rest of the year." Mr. Venus finally said. I nodded quickly and ran back to my seat.

"So how was it. Did you have a good day you guys?" Martha asked us as we got into the van with the rest of the kids. Everyone answered with groans. I felt my eyes tear up again. I will never be able to have a good day.
