Silent Love ~Sublex~

New school

Sub's POV:
"Subbie! Wake up! New day, new school!", I hear someone say. It was my mom. I just pretend I'm sleep. She doesn't fall for it. She starts shaking me. "WAKE UP! YOU MIGHT BE LATE ON YOUR FIRST DAY!", she yells. I get up with my eyes half open. I point to my arm signaling what time is it. "Oh! It's 6:00 am! I know it's early and school doesn't start til 8 but I want to make you breakfast! Waffles and eggs", she says smiling. I nod. "Well, put on your clothes and come downstairs. I'll be waiting"

She leaves my room. I yawn and get up from my bed. My bare feet meets the cold floor. I didn't want to go to school. I hate going to school. Why? Because I'm a mute. I can't say anything to anyone and people don't seem to understand. People will make fun of me for it. But maybe it will be different since I moved places. I moved from the U.K to the U.S. That's pretty crazy. School already started like 4 months ago but it's my first day. It's also Winter and school is already going to be out in a few weeks for Winter Break anyways. I'm in my 1st year of high school. I'm basically a baby.

I put on my clothes and a black jacket. I also grab my glasses from my night stand. I head downstairs toward the kitchen. My mom is making the waffles and eggs. She looks at me from the corner of her eye and smiles at me. "So, are you excited about your new school?" she says, not looking away from the stove. I shake my head. "Why not?", she asks,"You'll make lots of new friends". I shake my head again. She didn't know that I was bullied at my last school.

I go to the couch and sit down. I turn on the TV.

*30 minutes later*

"Foods ready!", my mom says. I go over to the table. She sits a plate down in front of me. She also grabs a cup. "Apple or Orange juice?", she asks. I point to the Apple Juice. She pours it into the cup and sets the cup down next to my plate. "Enjoy! I'll be back in an hour to take you to school! I'll be upstairs if you need me", she says smiling. She pats my head and goes upstairs.

I wasn't really hungry but I still ate my food anyways.

*1 hour later*

"Subbie! Wake up! I gotta take you to school", my mom says. I had feel asleep on the couch. I get up and grab my bookbag. We head out the door. I feel the cold air hit my cheeks. We get into the car and drive off.

A few minutes later, we finally arrive to the school. I grew super anxious. I could feel my anxiety rise up inside of me. "Come, let's go inside", my mom says. We walk inside the school. I see kids running at and talking. I see some staring at me. I grea more anxious. "Let's go into the principals office and get you enrolled".

We go to the principals office. "Hi", he says as we enter. I see his name tag, it read: Mr. Hanks. "Hi, I would like to enroll my Son, Sub.", my mom says. He looks at me smiling. "Hi, Sub", he says. I wish I could say "Hi" back . "Not much of a talker huh?", he says. I shake my head. "Oh! He's a mute. He can't say anything". He nods. "Oh...I see...well! I'll have someone show him to his class", he says. "Thank you so much! Have a good day Sub! Bye", she says walking off.

"Hello? Yes, Mrs. Aleen! Can you send a student to my office? Okay, thanks!", I hear Mr. Hanks say. He looks at me and smiles and hands me a paper. "Here's your schedule!".

A few minutes later, a girl with blond curly hair comes into the office. "I'm here! What do ya need", she says. The girls looks at me. "I need you to show your new classmate, Sub, to his class", he says. She glares at me. She had pretty emerald green eyes. "Hmph...Alright...come on Sub...", she says. I follow her out of the room. "So, do you talk much?", she asks me as we walk down the hall. I shake my head. "Shy?", she asks. I shake my head. "Well can you at least say something", she says sounding bored. I stop and she stops. I pull a notebook from my bookbag.

I usually do sign language to communicate to people but not every knows sign language. So instead, I just write down things to talk to people. I scribble something down in my notebook. "I'm....mute", she reads. She nods her head. We continue walking. "Well, my name is Ana!", she says. Ana...I'll remember that.

We finally reach the class room. I see people sitting on desks, throwing paper balls and pencils, talking, and some people were even reading. It was chaos in here. "Mrs. Aleen, we have a new student", Ana says smiling. Mrs. Aleen looks up from her desk. I could tell she was more of a laid back kinda teacher. No wonder it's so chaotic in here. "Hi!", she says. I wave. Ana goes off to were a group of girls were standing. "So, you're out mew student? What's your name?", she asks. I write down: Sub, in my notebook. She looks at me kinds funny. "Can't you tell me that through your words?", she asks. I frown at her. I write down something in my notebook. "I'm mute", she reads. She blushes. "Oh my! I'm sorry I didn't know that you couldn't talk", she says. "Anyways, I'm Mrs. Aleen! I hope you feel welcomed", she smiles warmly at me.

*Ring*

"Okay everyone! Quiet down and sit in your seats! It's time for class to start!", Mrs. Aleen says. Everyone sits down. "Okay, you can go sit next to...Alex", she points to a boy with light brown hair and glasses.

I walk over to the desk next to him. He looks at me and our eyes meet. He looks away from me and blushes. I didn't know him but he was kinda cute.

Alex's POV:
The new student was sitting next to me! ME! Why me? He was really cute though. Well, there's nothing better to do than to make friends with him.

"H-Hello!", I say smiling. He smiles back but doesn't say anything. "So, uhm, what's your name? I'm Alex". He looks like he's getting really anxious. He writes something down in his notebook. It said: Hi, I'm Sub and I'm a mute. I look at him. "Oh you're mute...Well! That doesn't make you any different!", I say," Well, uhm, you can meet me and my friends at lunch". He nods and smiles. I can't wait for everyone to meet Sub.
