"Good morning Aqua!!" Zach signs to me. "Morning" I sign back. "Happy birthday!" He signs and gives me a hug. "Thank you!" I sign back and hug back. Zach is not deaf like me. He is not hard of hearing either.

We met in elementary school. I was the only deaf kid in the class. He tried to come and talk to me, but I hadn't learned how to read lips yet. That's when the teacher came and picked him up and walked away. I think she was trying to explain that I couldn't hear him or something. So a few weeks after that he came back and signed "hi my name is Zach!" We were in maybe 4th grade. He wasn't bad. After that day, the teacher told me that he was learning ASL (American sign language) because he wanted to be my friend. A few months and about a year and half later, he was pretty much fluent and we became best friends.

He was pretty much my only friend threw middle school, and high school. Neither one of us went to college.

Zach wasn't a bad looking guy. Straight medium length brown hair, chocolate brown eyes, about 6'2, very built, and has a powerful laugh, because I could feel it.

Both my parents died in a car accident about 12 years ago. His parents died the same night. They were both in a car accident in the same car. That's exactly y me and Zach don't drink.

"So what do you wanna do today?" He signs and talks at the same time. I could tell he has a not deep but not high pitched voice. "IDK" I spelled out. He picked me up and put me over his shoulder. I hated it when he did this. But I love it at the same time. I couldn't sign to him so I had to use my words. "Zaccchery poot mi doun wite nor!" I scream! (Please don't get mad at me! I don't me to be "racist" against deaf people!!! I just want it to sound like she is deaf and speaking!) he finally puts me down.

I go and get dressed into some jean shorts, my favorite black tshirt, and grey hightops. I come back into the kitchen. Zach has gotten changed into some jeans, a white tshirt, and some brown puma shoes. He always looks great.

"Here" he signs and hands me a box. "What is it?" I ask. "Open it" he says pointing to it. I open it and see an amazing photo of me and him from vacation 3 months ago. I love photography, and he knows that. I start to cry tears of joy. I draw my finger tips on open hand from my chin "thank you! I love it!" I give him a big hug and a kiss. WAIT! Did I just do that?!

Okay! So I have restarted this whole story! I really hope u guys are not mad at me! It is about the same person but I made her deaf and a different plot with Zach/Graser. Later in the story "Graser's" part will get bigger. But for now this is the first chapter. I hope you guys do not get mad at me for the deaf "speaking". I know sign language and I thought this would be cool to write about. So I hope u guys enjoy!!!
