Don't Speak (OHSHC)

Chapter 1

"Haven't you heard? There's a new student in school?"

"Yeah, I heard he came from North America."

"Which part? America?"

"No. Canada."

"Canada? Isn't that the maple loving country?"

"Yeah. I also heard that it snows there constantly."

"I wonder what he's like."

"No one knows. He doesn't talk."

"He doesn't?"

"Yeah. He even ignores people too."

"What a jerk."

"I know, right?"

I looked down at my notes as the class slowly emptied. School was out and everyone was heading home, to hang out, or to one of the clubs. I just wanted to make sure that my notes made sense before I headed home.

I looked a little odd for my family. My eyes were a bit doe-ish and hazel. My skin was pale from the lack of sunlight. I spent my time inside during the day. My hair was fluffy and black, my bangs cut to my eyebrows. I was told I had a more petite figure, which wasn't what I really liked, but you learn to live with it.

I suddenly felt my thigh vibrate and fished my phone out of my pocket. It was a simple android I got a couple of years ago.

I looked at the text that my aunt sent.

:May:
Hey, Bubbles~ I'm going out to the store. Text Kayla if you want a ride. If she complains, tell her she has no choice! >:[

I started to text her back saying I got it. I put my phone back and started to gather up my stuff. I wanted to explore a bit before I went home. I've been in this school for two weeks and I didn't know this place aside from my classes and the cafeteria.

I grabbed my bag and left the classroom. I passed many students as they chatted with each other. I had no idea what any of them were saying. I didn't really pay much attention either.

I looked down at the map I had in my hands. There was so many rooms and not enough time. I decided to start out with the top floor today.

I suddenly slammed into something and fell back. I rubbed my head and looked up to see a very angry guy. He was taller than me.of course, I was only 4' 9" (144.78 cm). I was a short person.

"Watch where you're going!" He shouted.

I quickly stood up and bowed in apology. I turned and left before he could say anything more. I'm such a klutz.

I looked up at the large door. This would be my seventh room exploring. It was Music Room #3. I wonder why they had three music rooms.

I pushed the door open slowly and looked in. I could see a bunch of people all talking. Girls were sitting around certain guys and freaked out as they did something. This did not look like a music room.

I suddenly saw somebody in front of me and jumped. I didn't see him coming. He was tall and had blonde hair.

"Oh, I'm sorry." He said. "I didn't mean to scare you."

I nodded.

"You must be the new student." He continued. "You're from Canada, right?"

I nodded again. More people walked up. I think it's all of the guys. There were seven total. One of the red head twins started talking before I saw him.
