Mute- Noah Finnce

-Ashlyn's POV-

We got into our first class, which was Algebra 1 Honors. I took a moment to look around the class before sitting in my seat, which luckily weren't assigned, so I sat next to my mystery boy. Mystery Boy, I thought, I guess that's a good name to call him until he tells me his actual one.

The teacher started explaining something about Algebra, but I wasn't paying attention. I was too distracted by the beautiful boy sitting next to me. I didn't catch his name during attendance, but he swiftly raised his hand instead of saying "here" or "present."

I stopped staring after a bit, realizing that might he might be a bit creeped out by my staring. I broke a small piece of paper from my notebook and wrote him a small note.

Hey

I slid the note to him while the teacher wasn't looking. I watched him read it and look up at me weird, shrugging to himself.

Hi..?

He passed me the note nonchalantly, as the teacher watched. The teacher just smiled a nodded to him proudly. He didn't do much, he just shrugged. I quickly tried to write back.

I never got you name, you don't seem to talk much. You just kinda... shrug. Can I have it?

I slid back the note, smiling to myself.

I don't know, can you?

I read as he slid it back. I rolled my eyes and began to write back. I couldn't finish it because the teacher took it rapidly. "Okay Noah,  I'm glad you're finally making friends, but pay attention in my class please. You can talk after class." She said. Noah. That's his name.

I smiled at him as he look at me in defeat. I softly whispered, "I like that name. Noah." I smiled and winked at him,and resumed to taking notes, stealing a glance at him every few seconds.
