Your POV

It was a usual sunny day, but to me it was cloudy. I sat in the corner of a library, far away from the crowd. My knees tucked close to my chest, as I read a book. The sleeves of my F/c sweater held in my hands as I tried to ignore how many people-Strangers- surrounded me. Who knew what they could do!?

My roommate, Roxy, dragged me here to exit the dorm for the first time in a month. I tried to explain I did leave for classes, but she wasn't having any of that.

The girl in question sat next to me, happily reading with me. After I said I'll make her my signature Smoothie, if we didn't go somewhere loud. Even if this was to crowded for my liking, At least I had Roxy.

Though she's kinda loud, I enjoy her company.  Even if I'm so quiet she often forgets about me. "Y/nnnnn can we go back now?" Roxy Whispered/Whined.

I looked at her before pulling my phone out, typing something out.  Before showing it to her.

"Go ahead, I'll stay her a little longer. Before heading back. " Roxy muttered.

"You should really learn SL. " Roxy added as she finished reading it. She looked at me before smiling cheekily.

"I know, But I keep forgetting. " Roxy whispered, making me smile softly at her.  Of course she was drunk or on a sugar high almost 24/7. I gave her a shooing motion an she gathered herself before scurrying off.

I slid further into the chair, reading my book again. I enjoyed the story of Charlotte's Web, It was a sad an happy story. The book portrayed The pig as the main character, But it was actually Charlotte. The spider who helped him.

I finished the book for the 100th time, before walking to put it up. I noticed a troll wearing a skeleton attire, He seems to be scheming for books.

Uninterested in many, I had to pass him to put this book back. Oh shit. I thought, before shoving my uncertainty down. He seems to want to read a good book. Looking down at Charlotte's Web I smiled softly.

Ignoring the Knot in my stomach I approached him, Holding the book against my side with my elbow. Tapping on his shoulder he looked at me with a raised brow.

His lips were stitched shut, I raised my hands an signed.

Hello, Looking for a book to try? I may have one you may enjoy.

I looked at him hopefully, I really really hoped he knew SL. I hadn't spoken in so long I seems to forget how, How long? I think around 5 years? It got so natural I actually seemed to have forgotten how.

Whenever I tried to force a word out it only came out in forced air, I don't remember what made me want to stop talking however. So I only shrugged when people asked why I was so quiet.

What book?

He replied, it made me smile softly. Mainly to be around another student who could sign. I held the book out, he took it an gently turned it to read the Blurb.

Before looking at the cover again, a light in his purple eyes indicated he was intrigued.

It's a great book, I've read it so many times. Even watched the movie millions of times as well. I'm sure you'll enjoy it.

He gave me a great full smile before sticking the book under his elbow to sign.

I will be sure to try it, My Name is Kurloz? You?

Y/n, Once you finish the book feel free to ask me any questions. In case you don't understand the meaning behind it.

I smiled, Unsure as to why I was so comfortable around him. But he made me feel safe, strange. I decided to not think much of it, Giving him my chumhandle i said goodbye.

Leaving the library, Almost instantly wishing I was back in the silence of it. Walking I herd someone quickly speaking. But before I could fully understand the warning.

I was met with a heavy weight, Crashing into my back an making me hit the ground. With a silent croak. My arms stung when the ground hit them. But I made no sound but what could be though of as a growl.

The weight I soon realized was a Boy, Quickly stood up an panicky helped me up.

"Oh my! I'm Tho Thowwy! I thoth cothrol of my skathborth. " The boy ranted, his eyes were shielded by a helmet. But j could see trickles of Mustard yellow tears forming.

He started to have what seems to be a mental breakdown, as if he thought he harmed what he called a "delicate flower" who would hate him now.

I reacted on instinct, Call it a mother's tuition. But I gently wrapped my arms around him, wishing I could comfort him with words.

"..... I.... N't... Ha... Y... Ou... " I managed to wheeze out but it sounded like wind an hurt alot, the boy still cried. I took a big puff of air before exhaling. Trying to signal him to copy me, Which he quickly understood.

After a few calming breaths, he looked at me for any signs of harm he had caused. Before I smiled indicating I was fine.

"I'm Thowwy... I weally mean ith. " he hicced softly, I gave him a nod to incline I knew he did.

"I know." I mouth, He looked at me with a pout, "Are you muthe? Lithke Kurthoz? Well excepth he has a thtitched thut mouth. " he pondered.

I shook my head, Before pulling a notebook out.

Yes, I'm a Selective mute.  I don't remember why I decided to be mute.  But all I know it's it has been so long I've seemed to have forgotten how to speak. 

I showed it to him, He read it quickly before sending me a wondrous expression, "Wow weally? Thath'th thwangthe, maythe me an my fwiendth could aththitht you?" he gave me a excited smile. As he quickly hoped up.

"I'm Mituna!" Mituna smiled, Extending his hand. I hesitated, But I shook his hand.

"y/n. " I mouthed, an signed with my free hand pretty easily. With his hand still holding mine he grabbed his Skateboard before dragging me off.

"Leth'th go my fwiendth awre ath ouwr hithe!" he cheered as he sprinted towards their house, Or what I assume he called Hive.

I could feel my heart clenching, he meant right now... Oh dear... I really wish I stayed in the Library. This was one really awesome  day. Note the sarcasm.
