Classmate [Kurloz]

•Requested by: Pandorathewolf213

My name is (Y/N) and I'm being transfered to another school. Maybe it sounds great, 'wow! New people! New places! It'll be so cool!.
But no.
The problem there is, that I'm mute, and people around me always used to make fun of me about it. I never really had a friend. Nobody wanted to learn sign language, they found it non-important. I'm not seeking friends here either, I'm just being transfered because my mom started to work here as a teacher and she told me that a few teachers know sign language here, so it should be easier for me.
I sighed as I saw myself in the mirror.
I hope they won't judge me immediately though...

•••

I'm here. Everybody's looking at me, oh no, what are they thinking?
I was making my way to the class I should be in. When I arrived, the door was opened. I knocked on it and brought the sitting teacher's attetntion to me. He looked up and smiled.

"Ah! You must be (Y/N)! Your mother told a lot about us and I know that you'll fit into this school." he chuckled. Well, I'm not sure about that, judging by the stares I just got. But as an answer I just smiled and nodded my head.

"You're a pretty early, but you can sit down already." he said and got back to his papers. Exams, I assume. I sat down in the very back and waited till the lesson started.
Few minutes later the first students started coming into the classroom. Each of them gave me very same look I just got in the hallway.
I looked down at my table and started making pictures with my finger to disrupt my anxiety that was kicking in.

"Isn't that the new student?" I heard a really raspy voice say. I sighed and looked up.
WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT?!!
There, was standing a guy (or was it a guy?), he had this really weird makeup on, his hair was a mess, and... HE HAD FUCKING HORNS!
I gulped, but unfortunately he noticed my fear.
I was scared of this creature so much, that I even ignored all the looks I was getting from the other students.
The creature came to me and put his hand on my head, patting it. ..what?

"Don't worry, I'm not gonna do anything sis, I know you're just like my brother." He patted my head once again, and walked away in this really lazy walk to another desk, where he sat down.
My pants, were shitted.
I was SHOOK.

"Uhm, hey? Can I sit with you?" I looked up and nodded in the most awkward and shocked way. I looked down, my hair falling into my face and hidding it. Thankfully.

"I'm Jade by the way! What's your name?" I looked at her, once again. I was thinking how to answer her question. I shook my head and put my finger to my lip in a thinking manner. Then it hit me.
A notebook.
I took out my notebook and a pen and wrote down my name. After she read it, she looked at me.

"Oh so you're mute.. right?" I nodded and she smiled.

"Guess I should introduce you to my friend after school!" She giggled. I smiled and then wrote down a question for her.
'Whos' that creature that talked to me?'
"You mean Gamzee? Oh, he is a troll. Although he looks really creepy sometimes, he's really kind and friendly. He has a brother named Kurloz, who has the same problem as you. I think you two will get along really well!"
So that's what he meant by me being like his brother...
The bell rang and the teacher stood up.

"Okay everybody! We have a new student as you've already noticed. If I'll hear one bad word onto her, you're gonna have to deal with the principal. Understood? Understood. Great! Now, open your books at page 23.."

And the lesson started...

•••

After school I waited for Jade in front of the building, just like she said. I was sitting at the stairs looking off into the distance.
"(Y/N)!!" I heard someone calling my name. Jade.
I looked behind me and saw her waving and jogging to me. After her, were walking few other people. Another creature that looked a bit like Gamzee, except it was taller, a dude with sunglasses, a gothic girl, and a dude in a helmet.
What kind of school is this...?
I stood up and Jade hugged me.

"So! I promised that I will introduce you to someone!" she said, as she pulled away and mentioned towards the tall troll. He waved me and I waved back shyly. It was just now, when I noticed that his mouth was sewed together. Who is this freaky dude?

"(Y/N), this is Kurloz." I looked up into his eyes and something really hard hit me. Not literally, I just had this weird feeling in my head.

"Nice to meet you (Y/N)!" He signed to me.

"Hi." as I tried to sign back, my hands somehow tangled into each other since they were shaking. He gave me a heart-warming smile. I found it quite weird that such a creepy looking creature would give me this warm feeling. Somehow, in the deep of my heart, I started to like this person, I can say. Let's not judge the book by it's cover, shall we?

Few weeks later, after seeing each other just in the school, he asked me to hang out with him. We were just walking side-by-side through the town. I noticed the disgusted looks people gave him, but he was still smiling. He even took out his stitches from his mouth. It looked like there stitches never even were.
I realized, that I took him as a friend. A good friend of mine. I took out my phone and checked the time.
5:41pm.
I poked Kurloz into his shoulder with my finger to get his attention. He looked down at me and we stopped.

"I have to go home, I have a important test coming up. Would you mind walking me home?"

"Not really! I would be happy to!" he smiled and ruffled my hair. I smiled back and we both started walking towards my house.
It was still a silent walk, just enjoying each others company. Suddenly, I felt his hand brush against mine. I pulled it away and felt my face heat up.
I turned my face away from him, right to the busy road.
After a while, we arrived at my house and stopped.

"Thank you for walking me." I smiled and he patted me.

"It's okay (Y/N)." he signed back to me and pushed away the hair from my forehead. He leaned closer and gave me a slow kiss on the forehead. My face got as red as a tomato.

"Goodnight." he chuckled and walked away.
I put my hand to my forehead and kept looking at his distancing figure.
Kurloz..?
