Today is the day. Today is the first day of college. This will be my first day at Yale, and god I'm excited and absolutley terriefied.

But I'm also very lucky, I have my two amazing best friends who are there for me. And who are there to help and support me.

I step out of bed and text veronica and Kevin a goodmorning. I walk over to my bathroom and quickly take my clothes of and step into the shower.

I feel the hot water on my nody and I instantly relax. I wash my hair and close my eyes. Just feeling the water hit my body, forgetting all my worries for just a second.

I hum a song quietly while doing my morning routine. My Therapist already said that it's already a big step that I'm humming a song. They say It's a great way to go slwoly further from there.

Mr.lint my therapist told me I should make schedules for myself. And every month I need to be a little further with my speaking. This month he wants me to say yes, out loud.

But I really don't think i can do it. You see I'm mute. I can phisically speak but my anxiety and my fathers brainwashing got the best of me.

I couldn't talk infront of strangers. I never could, but because of my father I can't even talk when I'm alone annymore. I just can't, everytime when I want to I start sweatinga nd getting anxious.

My troath runs dry and soon enough i will get into a panick attack and 9 of the ten times I pas out because of stress.

So after a year of begging and trying to get me to speak my friends stopped. So now I only have two over. But I don't care because they are the best ones I could've wished for.

The even learned asl for me. I stepped out of the bathroom and to my closet. I pick out a simple pair of skinny jeans and put on some black sweater. I put my hair up into a high ponytail and walk out of my home.

I see Veronica Lodge already waiting on me in her car. I smile and wave at her and step in the car. She kissed my cheek and handed me a coffee.

"Thank you" i said in Asl and she just smiled at me before starting the engine and driving off.

"So the planning is first pick up Kevin, then go to college, make a big first impressions and fall in love with hipster boys that read books i have never heard of" she says making me laugh a little an dlook at her with my eyebrows raised.

"Okay okay, I know that I probally will meet the badboy fall in love break his heart and mive on. But maybe a hipster once in a while wouldn't hurt. They are hot" she says with a smirk.

I scoff and take a sip of my still hot coffee. Soon Kevin is also in the car and 10 minutes later V puuled up infront of our new college.

I gulp and slowly stepp out of the car. I think that veronica senses that i'm ancious and grabs my hand. Keving stands next to me and grabs my other hand.

"Come on girls. It's time to make a new chapter of our life." Kevin said smiling big. Me and V both nod and before I know it we were making out way inside the huge building.

Veronica and Kevin make there way over to there classroom and I make my way over to mine.

I look around me and when suddenly a body collided with mine. I gasp a little and fall to the ground, I look up and see guy staring at me with intense bleu greene eyes.

I gulp again and look down at the floor, "I'm so sorry. Are you okay?" He asked me softly.

I slowly look up at him, but not in his eyes annymore and nod. He smiled a little and streched his arm out for me so I could grab his hand. I thino for a little before slowly grabbing it.

His smile got bigger and he helped me up, he grabbed my bag that fell onto the ground and ganded it to me. I gave him a small smile in return.

"So, to wich class do you need to go?" He asked me. I look at him a little confused, why isn't he walking away. I just wanna go to my class peacefull, I don't wanna be called freak the first day here.

I just shake my head and take a step frowards wanting to walk away from him. But aperiently he wasn't done with the converstaion.

"Before you walk of, can i at least have youre number?" He asked me, and I just see that he is extremely nervouse suddenly.

I look up at him in shock, no boy has ever asked my number. Why does he want it? To make fun of me? No he can't, he doesn't know I'm mute. Well maybe i'm so ugly that he wants to make fun of me for being like this.

I think so, It needs to be that. There are no other explenations for it. He wants to make fun of me, and he wants to cyber bully me. Of course he dors, I'm just the mute sad girl.

Suddenly my toughts were interupted by the mysterious boy, "I...I mean I just wnat youre number because you are so beautfiul. No wait I uh mean, I wanna get to know you" he said his cheeks starting to get blush on them from emberrasment.

I smile a little at him and before I could really think about it I start using asl, "how would I know you're not a serial killer" I sign to him.

But then I realise he probally has no Idea what I just 'said' god I'm such a idiot. Of course he doesn't know what I just signed.

He looked at me shocked for a second before his face broke out in a big smile, "i geus you have to give your number to me. To find out huh" he signed back.

I loomed at him shocked, "you know asl" i asked him confused. He smiled at me and nodded.

"Yes. Now can i please have youre number." He aksed me while giving me puppy eyes.

I sigh and take my phone out of my pocket. He smiled big and put his number in it, he soon walked away with a wink and I catch myself blushing.

I look back at my phone and start smiling so big that it almost hurts.

"Future husband" that's how he named himself in my contacts. God I already live college a lot more then I did before.

Soo that was that. There is coming a part 2 were there is a lot of bughead. But I didn't wnat to rush it. I love it more that I have two parts, then one very rushed one. Let me know what you guys think. Reqeusts and Ideas are always welcome.
