Tord sat down on the seat of the bus. A ding from his phone took him from his stupor. His friend Edd was texting him.
E: Hey Tord. Are you excited for high school? I'm sure your cheery, talkative personality will win so many people over.
T: Fuck off, you saturated sunrise.

Tord looked up when someone sat next to him. It was a boy with medium brown hair and no eyes. He had lots of freckles and slight acne. The boy wore a black ASDF shirt and a grey hoodie tied around his waist. The boy smiled at Tord, showing off gleaming blue braces.
"You're Tord, right? The silent one? I'm Tom." Tom held a hand out to Tord. Tord looked down at Tom's hand. Eventually, Tord took Tom's hand and shook it.
Tord started signing.
Do you know A-S-L?
Tom stared for a second before signing back.
Yeah.
Tord smiled. Finally, someone who knew sign language.
That's good. You can communicate in words, I just always reply in A-S-L.
Tom nodded and started talking about a band Tord knew nothing of.
Tord smiled to himself. 
Maybe this year wouldn't be so bad.
