My life was fucked up, there was no denying that. I had no friends...well that's a lie I did have friends but they were miles away and I've never actually met them, heck we don't even video chat. I wasn't one for socializing.

We all have that one person in our school that always hangs out alone and has their nose stuck in whatever book they are reading, usually having a new book every day. Have that person in mind? Good. Now usually they are quiet in class, they sit there and do their work and on the rare occasion that they do actually speak they are usually forced to by the teacher. Well, that kid would be me..except I never spoke. Not a word, I got through my day without a single conversation.

Now I know what you are thinking. How does she get through the day without a single word? Well, that's a very complicated question with a very simple answer, you become invisible. Now I'm not talking invisible as a superpower, I'm saying you distant yourself from a crowd and blend in.

I started being "mute" as other people would call it in 6th grade, I'm not sure why and if you were to ask I would shrug my shoulders. Life was simple, no drama if you didn't have a voice to start one.

Any memory of having a voice by someone who grew up with me was gone, replaced by the new me, the one who did not speak.

So here I sat in the same old classes listening to the same out whispers that people found so intriguing about me.

"Dude it must suck not being able to talk, think about it I wouldn't be able to charm girls with my smooth ass pickup lines."

"right? I would have killed myself ages ago, I'm telling you there is no way I could live like that."

"dude lower your voice she might hear you."

"I mean she's mute so she might as well be deaf"

"really? do you think she's deaf, dude that would be insane, she'd be like Hellen Keller."

"totally."

Idiots.

There were some of the normal conversations..well as normal as they can get for dumb high school jocks. Except they weren't all stupid, one in particular. That boy was ZachDempsey, he was a strange jock. Kind and smart and well sweet. Well, that's what I picked up anyway from my limited observation.

Zach was sure different that was for sure. He never said anything bad about me, I mean he never said anything about me at all. He never laughed at the rude comments people made and he never once chastised me for being different. He struck me as the friendly type, so why did he hang out with people like Bryce...well maybe one day I'll have to ask him. haha, funny joke me.

Walking down the hall most eyes were on me..so much for being invisible. When I got the attention it meant one thing, there was a new rumor going on around about me.

"Hey, mute girl such a shame your ass is as small as your voice," typical Bryce Walker comment. "I would totally hit that if there was something to hit."

Damn Bryce Walker loved ass so much he became one.

I roll my eyes and continue to walk down the hall towards the back door, thank god school was done with for the day.

On the outside I make it look like comments don't phase me, but deep down inside they do, they eat at me but there is nothing I can do.

As I walk outside I glance around to make sure there was no one in sight, people took the front exit anyway. Seeing as though the coast was clear I slide down the brick wall and begin to cry.
