Keith Powers Imagines : Book 3 🦋💜

Red pt 3

keith

i walked into school with a flower in hand for Yn. that little thing i went on with claire was kinda fun. but the whole time i could think about was Yn. claire is pretty and all but Yn is just.

i walked in the hallway as i seen her standing with claire. i brought one for her too just so i'm not counted as "rude".

i walked up as i held out both of the roses to them with a nice smile. claire smiled and thanked me as diara stared at the red rose and looked disgusted.

"claire i'll see you later." she said as walked away with out her flower. i slumped my shoulder and wished i could talk. i walked away from claire without a moments glance .

i felt my phone buzz as i walked into my first period and went towards my seat.

yntoobad: sorry .. i just have a really bad history with red roses. or red in general. don't ask cause i'm not telling..

keithpowers: oh.. i'm sorry.. i didn't mean to offend you.

yntoobad: it's fine. you didn't know..

keithpowers: how can i make it up to you? and not in that way either..

yntoobad: ... you don't. it's whatever.

the bell rung as i texted her my number and told her to text me if she thought of something. claire walked in as she took the seat next to me.

"hey keith ." she said as i looked over and smiled a bit at her. class started as she pulled out a piece of paper . she scribbled on it as she quickly passed it to me.

so what's up ? still nervous?

i sighed and realized that if i wanna make friends and have a life i have to open up to the people around me.

actually i can't talk .. i'm mute .

i quickly passed it back as i started to pay attention to the lesson.

"okay everyone , partner up and work together for the rest of class." claire instantly clung to me as i nodded at her.

"so mute huh ? how do you communicate?" she said. i grabbed the paper and scribbled my response.

i don't. people eventually stop talking to me and leave me alone. i don't mind it though.

"oh wow okay.. well keith i actually wanted to tell you that i find you highly attractive and was just wondering if you'd like to grab lunch or something."

i chuckled a bit and wrote my response.

sure , how does saturday sound ?

"sounds perfect." she said as the bell rang.

i gave her a thumbs up as i grabbed my bag and walked out of the classroom. i walked to my next period as i seen it was communications. as you can see , i'm not gonna pass that class.

"okay guys , today were starting another project." the whole class groaned as i looked around to see yn scribbling in her notebook as she mindlessly was stuck in her own world.

"this project is due in the next two months , and i have already picked your partner."

"what if i wanted re- i mean Yn to be my partner?" i heard a voice say in the back , i looked back to see Donte and some girl hugged up.

"well then , i guess you'll have to wait until the next project. so partners are Donte and Darrin , Lucie and Lycette , Lamar and Odell , Jessica and Justin , Diana and Devin and Yn and Keith. alright. pair up. and get started , working slowly but surely, remember you have two months."

i heard the seat next to my table shuffle a bit as i looked up to see her. my cheeks got read as my heart started to pound. she looked up at me with an unamused face as i quickly pulled out my phone and texted her.

keithpowers : um , there's something i need to tell you about me.

yntoobad: okay ..

keithpowers: im actually a mute so .. i can't talk .

she looked up at me in disbelief. i looked at her in all seriousness.

"okay well.. do you know sign language?" she asked me. i had never thought to learn sign language, my dad thought i was just quiet and was gonna grow out of it.

i shook my head slowly as she pulled out a small packet and slid it to me, it had the alphabet and basic hand signs.

"practice these , and maybe we can facetime tonight if you're having trouble." she said , i nodded and slid the packet off the table , placing it in my back pack.

the bell rung as she quickly looked behind her and rushed to get up to leave. soon after donte followed behind her with the same speed , i soon got up and followed behind him.

when i reached the corner of the door as i seen donte and yn talking to each other, but the hallway was loud so i couldn't hear them.

Yn

we could facetime ? am i serious ? i can't believe i just did that. i dont need donte sniffing around me again.

i began down the hallway as i felt a strong grip on my elbow. he got a better grip and pulled me close to him and stared down at my face.

i could just feel the color draining from my face as i remembered that same grip from the party that night.

"where you going red ? we still aren't finished with our convo."

"Donte you're hurting me." i softly whimpered as i felt tears coming to my eyes. he chuckled a bit and made his grip tighter as i felt my arm start to lose circulation.

"do you want that video out again ?"

"n-no.."

"good , then you'll do as i say. my house 5 o'clock sharp. don't be late red, or i will be angry."

a tear slipped from my eye as i stared up at him in horror of what he might do to me, or the kind of scam he might pull .

"bye red and remember. you can't escape me. i have eyes everywhere." he warned. i sniffled as he let go of my arm. i looked around to see keith just standing there and looking. i stared back as i quickly turned away and walked down the hall to the nearest bathroom.

flashbacks started to flood my mind as i begun to feel a little dizzy, i burst in and ran to the nearest toilet hurling in it , thank god the bathroom was empty.

i flushed it as i soon stood up and when to the mirror, i had sweat running down my face as i was back in donte's bathroom , my breath got heavy as i looked up to see him standing me behind me.

i quickly looked behind me to see i was in the bathroom and that it was all okay. i grabbed my bag and walked out into the busy hallway as i joined the grain and walked to class.
