Hear Me Through My Silence

Chapter 14

The first period after lunch was unventful. No more questions or prying eyes, no more cat eyed girls or blond boys. Just, emptyness. But at the same time, it wasn't empty. There was the blunt tapping of rain against the window of the English classroom, and the droning voice of the teacher.

Neither me nor Xavier paid attention to the lecture, as our minds were on other things. Being sisters with such a quite boy taught me to not ask, but observe. The crisp sound of the pages of textbooks turning, the mecanic noise of the pencil shapener and the way everytime the teacher would ask a question, the boy in front of me's head would tilt ever so slightly to the left, like a worried dog. 

When the bell roung, me and Xavier packed up our things into the plain and dark backpacks that we now owned and blended into the crowed. But it's strangley hard to blend when you are the talk of the school. 

It was rare anyone new would grace the dingy halls of this school, but ontop of that, my brother and I had proved to be intersting characters. Brooding as my brother would say,

Autum, the cat eyed girl I had met in class earlier had become friends. Well, almost. We realized that each of us didn't favour the idea of friends, and weren't really able to establish a full friend ship. Just a quick chat, exchange of greetings then I quickly managed to ask her if she wanted to come to my uncles resaurant, which she sadley declined. What was I to expect?

As we were walking down they hall, our eyes trailing the tiles below us, we were stopped. To large, buff boys and one girl. I lifted my nose into the air..werewolf. The boys were probley warriors, due to their large size, and neither looked like they had the IQ to be a tracker, though the girl wasn't much better by my judgment. I had seen her in one of my eariler classes, she was fake and un obsevant. Nails, hair, face all altered by surgery or makeup, dye or polish. 

We attempeted to step around the trio but they stopped us yet again. 

"Look" Xavier said quietly, so the group had to lean in to hear his voice, "we just need to get to class, that's all we ask." 

"I don't think so." the girl said leaning her face into my brother's "I don't like you."

"Well, we don't look like we care, do we" my brother replied. I felt her push me up against a locker, a sharp pain flew up my back, but I wasn't listening to her, yet paying more attention to the crowed that surrounded us. A few girls, mostly guys. Alot of them werewolves, though I did spot a vampire near the back. But what caught my eye was a dark haired boy near the front, who looked so angry, I almost thought he was going to come and rip the girls head of her body that moment.

But I felt a tug on my hood, and then the cold air from the school drift across my face. I had been revealed. My heart rate increased and my eyes darted over to Xavier, pleading him for help. The dark haired boy starred. Right into my soul. It almost hurt, was I that ugly? But before I could even think this over, my hood was back up again, and over my face. 

Autums POV

I usually did't like to many people, I was a loner type of person. People sufficated me. But Rosa was different. She was quite, so was her brother, and unlike most people, she let me make the introductions. But I have to say, when she invited me over to her house, I was suprised. No boady was so quick to trust me, the saw me as haunting and unfriendly. Like an cat, who could be skittish if you approach it to fast. 

Funny how accurate that description was.

But of course, I declined, and then continued on my way down the hall. But I thought about it, and decided I really liked Rosa, and was willing to make friends with her. So, I decided to suprise her and show up at her house.

But as I pulled up the drive I have to say I was perplexed, in front of me was a small diner, oddly placed in the middle of no where. But then again, Rosa and her brother didn't seem exactly normal. 

So I walked up the steeps and through the door, to be met with a quiant yet ordanary diner. Booths and tables, with large meatal door I could only guess lead to the kitchen. 

"ROSA!" I jumped at the sudden noise, only to realize it was Rosa's brother. "CAN YOU SEAT THE CUTOMER!" Gosh that boy was loud.

All of a sudden the most adorable girl of my age I had ever seen pushed through those large metal doors. She had a heart shaped face that was delacate but round, and larger green eyes rimmed with thick rows of eyelashes. Her deep red hair fell just below her sholders in waves and her skin was pale and dotted with a few freckles across the nose. 

The girs eyes widened quickly before she raced forward and pushed me down below a table. I felt utterly uncomfortable. What awful customer sercive. 

"Rosa?" it was the boy again, and then girl popped up from below the table "is everything alright?"

That when I put two and two toghther, The girl was Rosa. But the only thing that perplexed me was why she would want to put that hood over her gorgeus face.
