My Silent Words

Chapter 4 - School's first day

“Alex. Alex, baby. Wake up. You know what day it is today right?”

I groan at the morning message my mother gave me. I sat up my bed and rubbed my sleepy eyes.

“Your gonna be late for school”

Huh? School? Oh yeah, school.

HOLY SHIT!!! OF COURSE, SCHOOL!!! How the fuck can I forget about school. I just enrolled in it yesterday.

I quickly stood up from my bed and rushed to the shower. After that, I changed into something more school-like clothes. Maybe a simple white and blue polo shirt and black pants and green converse will do.

After I changed into school clothes, I head to the kitchen to eat. After I ate, my mom drove me to school.

As we arrived at school, I kissed mom goodbye because she'll be off for her work.

“Goodbye, baby. Have a nice day!”

I nod at her words and headed towards the gate.

So many students here running and walking towards their respective classrooms and schedules.

Since I have no idea where my first subject is, I headed to the office where I see the lady from yesterday.

“Ah, Alexander right?” she asks

I nod at her question.

“Well, here's your schedule for the whole day.” she said while handing me a piece of paper with the time and rooms I should attend to.

I nod her thanks and I look at my schedule.

First subject - Music - Mr. Johnsons - Room 34

I scanned every room to find my first class and after a short time, I found it.

I peeked inside and the teacher glances at me.

“Yes? How may I help you?” He asked.

I stood their frozen while looking at the students who are staring at me.

I took out a piece of paper and wrote something down.

I am the new student sir.

He read it and welcomed me inside.

“Ah, class. This is your new classmate. Might wanna introduce yourself Mr...” He stopped at the moment when I went off to the board and grabbed a piece of chalk.

Good morning everyone. I am Alexander Ray. 14 years old.

I look at their expressions for a moment. Before I continue my writing.

I'm mute.

After I write the last two words, I heard many gasps and whispers  from the crowd that made me feel nervous and anxious.

“Now, now students. We don't treat people like him badly do we?” The teacher ask

“No sir” They said is unison.

“But he can't speak. It'd be unfair for us in oral recitation because he can't even bear to spit a single word.” A red haired student said.

“Roman Tykes. Shut your mouth. You're disrespecting our new student.” The teacher shut the red haired turkey's mouth.

So his name is Roman eh. He looks familiar. I think I saw his face for somewhere. I just don't remember where.

“Now Alex, you'll go sit in the vacant chair next to Isaiah” pointing to the black haired handsome boy at the last row of the seat. I nod at his instruction.
