Muted minds

~Chapter 1~

I sat up abruptly from the dream that has haunted me for years. Looking around I noticed the many boxes stack around my room pushed up against my wall where real. The whole move had seemed like a dream to me and only now does it hit me that this whole experience is real. That I've moved from the small flat in England to this looming house in america. This small towns whose name I don't know will be where I will spend the rest of my life. Wow to sound so sad in the morning really puts a downer on your mood. I shake my head and rid myself of negative thoughts.

As I stood up to start my day my mum came into my room knocking lightly as she opened the door. She looked surprised to see me awake then realized the reason.

"Nightmares again?" She asked softly walking towards me. I nodded my head as she came in to hug me. "We are going to start a fresh ok? No more of them people it will be you and me. Oh by the way honey your bike arrived last night after you fell asleep so I put your jacket, helmet and keys on the table near the door" I nodded and shooed her out so I could get dressed for my first day of school.

I grounded my teeth and I dragged my brush through my raven hair. I cursed myself for not putting it into a braid after my shower. Finally my hair was put into a fishtail plait. I rummaged through the boxes filled with clothes trying to find the outfit for today. I finally found some ripped black jeans and a shirt sporting a fandom reference from Harry Potter. I walked into the en suite that came with this over sized room and grabbed my toothbrush from the shelf. Looking in the mirror I saw my dull leaf green eyes and snow white skin. I got all my dads looks. I hated that. My mother had ash blonde hair and sky blue eyes. She was beautiful while I just looked like death warmed up. I didn't put on makeup much because it was too hard to cover up the freckles. I put my tooth brush back in its pot once I had finished brushing my teeth and grabbed my foot stool to get into the cupboard above the sink. I was small for my age and hated every moment of it. I grabbed my medication for the day and swallowed it quickly hoping it would kick in before I got to the loud atmosphere of school. I grabbed my phone off my bedside table and rushed downstairs hoping to get some breakfast before school.

"Naomi! what do you want waffles or pancakes?" my mum said cheerfully as she say my rush downstairs. I help up my pointer wanting the first option waffles. She nodded at my answer and started to make some waffles. She hummed quietly as she made them, her thought quickly went from making the waffles to my first day at school. I laughed silently at her worries. I've always been alone so there was no point in worrying if I will get friends or anything.

She placed a plate of banana waffles in front of me and sat opposite me with a plate for herself. half way through eating she suddenly spoke up,

"I've wrote you a note in case all your teachers didn't get the notification about your situation. I nodded and grabbed the note pad that was going to become my new means of communication for this school year. "Its been five years now right?" My mum asked sadly. I nodded at her question that had multiple meanings, one of them asking how long its been since I haven't talked. Five years exactly today. Its no big deal to me because not speaking is a part of me now, I have learnt to keep to myself and the only conversations I have are with my mum.

I looked up at my mum to see tears quickly flooding her eyes at the memories. She blamed herself for what happened when it was really my fault. I stood up and ran round the table grabbing my mum and hugging her tightly.

"I'm sorry" She muttered brushing away her tears as I straightened up again. "Lets not dampen your first day! I've put an extra note pad and pens in your back pack also two books along with your lunch and some snacks. will you be ok?" She asked worriedly. I nodded smiling at her. She acts as if this is my first time moving school. she stood up and squeezed me tightly kissing the top of my head. "Have a good day ok? Don't let the past stand in the way of your future Naomi. I love you" I smiled at her then walked towards the door. I put my leather jacket on and placed my helmet on. looking around for my keys I found my cat pebbles sat on top of my bag. I lifted the fat cat off my bag and shouldered the bag looking around for my bike keys. Feeling my pockets I found my keys with a cat key ring attached. After waving goodbye to my mum I walked outside to greet the hottest weather I've ever had to deal with. I jumped onto my black Yamaha and started it setting out to my school my mother had pointed out too many times.
