Mute- New Jersey Boys

chapter 1

I was laying on my back, staring up at the ceiling. I knew I had to get up for my new school but I just couldn't. My bedroom door opened and I saw my older brother Mathew.

I moved my head so I was looking at him. "You have to get ready for school Alex." I knew this already and he knew that but I just couldn't.

"Look, " he said sitting next to me and pulling me up so I was also sitting. ".. I know it's hard for you but this new school will be a fresh start. And I know you can do this, you're a strong, beautiful girl and that school won't know what hit them." I slightly smiled and nodded.

He helped me out of bed and I got ready as he made me breakfast. I put on black ripped jeans with a red tube top and a black zip-up over it. I grabbed my bag and walked down to the kitchen.

"Eat quick, I'm gonna drive you to school on my way to work." I nodded and ate my eggs.

I looked up at the big building in front of me. The car door slam made me jump and look back. "Hey, don't be scared, you'll be fine," Mathew said before driving off. I took a deep breath and made my way to the front doors.

I got my schedule and made my way to the first period. I walked in and the teacher smiled at me. "Class this is Alex Rogers our new study. You can go sit by Samy sweetie." Samy raised his hand and I made my way over there. Good thing she knew about me.

"Hey, I'm Samy." I nodded and his smile disappears. I took out my notebook and wrote something down.

"Sorry, I just don't like to talk."

"Oh, it's okay," Samy said and smiled again. The rest of the class was fun, Samy kept making me laugh.

I was walking in the empty halls, trying to remember where my locker was, but not uses. I would ask someone but it was lunch and everyone was outside or in the lunchroom. I was scrolling through Instagram when I found myself on the ground. I looked up at who I had bumped into and it was a very tall, kinda cute guy. What am I saying? A very cute guy.

"I'm so sorry!" He said helping me up and picking up my phone that I dropped. "I'm Robert." He smiled at me. I just smiled. I could see the confused look on his face. I opened my phone and went to the notes.

"I'm Alex, I don't talk much. But thank you for helping me cutie :)"

He smiled and blushed a bit. "You're really pretty by the way." I smiled and looked down.

"Are you new here?" He asked and I nodded. "Would you like to come and sit with me?" He asks and pointed in the direction of the lunchroom. I nodded again and we started walking.

"So tell me about yourself." He said then made a weird sound. "I'm sorry, I forgot you don't talk." I pulled my phone out and typed 'that's okay tell me about you.'  He was telling me all about himself the whole way to the lunchroom. He kept stopping and apologizing for talking too much but I would always type out 'no keep going.'

We got to the lunchroom and sat at an empty table. I sat across from him and he smiled.

"My friends will be here soon. But anyway, if you don't mind me asking, how do you communicate with your parents?" I took out my phone.

'It's just me and my brother, and we both know sign language.'

"That's cool, so do you just choose not to talk or you can't talk?"

'Choose.'

He nodded. "So how do you say, you're beautiful in sign language?" He asked. I showed him with a big smile on my face. He did it to me and I blushed.
