Love, lust, and hawiian pizza

Chapter 2

Chapter 2:

I turn around from my laptop on my bed at the sound of a knock on my open door, and see Dylan standing there looking down at the floor sheepishly. I wave my hand to grab his attention and motion for him to come sit on the bed but he hesitates.

"I don't bite" I laugh and he comes to sit on the corner of my bed as far away from me as possible, but I don't really blame him we hardly know each other and I mean me and Mary did just barge into his life without his permission.

He doesn't sign anything for a while just sits there looking at me with a small smile.

"My dad asked me to bring you these, they are course selections so that you can get your schedule" he handed me a pink and yellow sheet and I noticed he was still holding on to something else. I pointed at it and he looked at me again nervously before handing it over. "This class is two credits"

"What is it?" I sign back and he starts to explain

"Interpreting. Me and you have the same classes but you interpret for me so that I don't have to try and read lips, it's not easy" my eyes widen and I shake my head

"My ASL isn't good enough I would just make it harder for you" I actually want to do it but I don't want him to get mad at me if I sign wrong.

"You don't have to but I think your a great signer and would do good...i could never be mad at you" I blush and so does he before I nod my head yes. I'm sure it'll look good on college applications and I know my ASL is good enough to communicate. Plus I mean I wouldn't mind being with the hottest guy in school all day...

"Thank you" he says smiling and I'm taken off guard when he leans over to hug me good night.

It's way to early to be conscious right now. I groan and slap my alarm clock rolling out of bed. I hate mornings, I'm definitely not one of those people who is happy-go-lucky at five o'clock am.

After taking a quick shower I brush my teeth and put on some make up. I usually don't wear a ton of make up, just some light cream eyeshadow and mascara to make it look like I tried a tiny bit. Then I walk to the closet and pull out a blue tank top, jean shorts, and a grey thin cardigan because for some reason I'm always cold! Even if it's a hundred degrees outside I need a sweater.

"KALLI LETS GOOOO" Mary yelled from somewhere in this huge house. Why does she need to scream? I know when I need to go to school. Moms.

When I find my way back to the kitchen Mary is standing next to a pot on the stove top and I start to worry again. Dylan and Bill are watching her skeptically and I can tell that if I don't do something fast breakfast won't be salvageable. "I love you mom and I'd like to do something nice, why don't I finish breakfast..." she smiles and walks away with a quiet 'thank you' no Mary thank you for letting me save us all from your cooking.

I look into the pot and recognize it as oatmeal but very hard and clumpy. I grab some milk and butter to smooth it out then I cover it and cut up some fresh strawberries to go in the oatmeal, adding some sugar and vanilla too. When it's all done it tastes amazing and the boys take a bite hesitantly probably scared I cook like my mother but I guess they like it because it's all gone in minutes.

When Mary finally let's is leave the house me and Dylan hop into his truck and it takes us about five minutes to get to school. There wasn't really anything special about 'Garden View Academy' it was just a few big brick buildings and a small courtyard but it still looked expensive. The girls all wore short skirts and fancy labels, and the guys were all showing off expensive jeans and letterman jackets. Definitely a rich preppy school. I moved closer to Dylan without realizing it and he draped his arm over my shoulders giving me a reassuring squeeze. I changed my mind change is bad, very very bad.

The girls give me dirty looks as they pass me in the front office and I'm starting to feel kind of small.

"What's your name dear?" Asked An older lady sitting at a big oak desk.

"Kalli James" I tell her and hand her the papers Dylan gave me last night. A few moments later she handed me a map and winked at Dylan. What was that all about?

I think Dylan saw the strange look I have the secretary because he started laughing and explained that she was a friend of his grandmothers and he spent a lot of time at her house as a little kid.

The first half of my day was pretty boring. None of my teachers made a big deal about me being the new kid or anything but all of the students stopped to stare at me like they had never seen a human before. Once again girls gave me dirty looks but I think it's because I'm with Dylan. They would come up to is and shove their boobs in his face and pretend to talk to me. Sluts. He just smiled at them and continued on with his work like they never tried to talk to him.

Now it's lunch and I walk through the lunch line with Dylan, both of us grabbing a slice of Hawaiian pizza and a water before I fallowed him outside in to the courtyard where he waved at three guys.

"Kalli meet Benji" he pointed to a tall thin kid with black hair that curled on his forehead and bright blue eyes, he looked just like superman! Benji waved. And then he pointed to a very tall built guy with long blonde hair that fell into his green eyes "Sam" and then finally to a shorter black boy who was holding hands with Sam -aww they are so cute- "Carson" Sam and Carson smiled at me

"Hi my name is Kalli. Nice to meet you" I signed and walked over to the big tree they all sat under with Dylan leading the way. I sat down and ate my pizza awkwardly while Benji and Dylan kicked a soccer ball and Sam and Carson we're signing to each other. I felt kind like a third wheel.

"Come play with us" Dylan waved me over and I shook my head no but they weren't really asking me they were telling me. I realized this when they both grabbed my hand and pulled me up passing me the ball.

Playing soccer with the boys was really fun but after a while we stopped to finish lunch. I sat against the tree with my head on Dylan's shoulder and everyone was signing to each other, they were going so fast it was hard for me to keep up but it was cool.

"Kalli are you deaf?" Carson asked and I shook my head no

"hearing" for a moment they looked confused but I continued "my friend is a CODA I learned from her" and they all nodded and broke off into smaller conversations until the bell rang

The rest of the day went by in a sort of blur nothing exciting happened in any of my other classes but me and Dylan are starting to get a little closer, he jokes around with me and teases me all of the time but I mess around with him too. I'm not sure why I was dreading school so much it really isn't bad when your spending the whole day with your sexy step brother and his hot friends haha.
