Deaf love

A hard start

Me, grace Kennish in the hallway, slowly walking, and thinking. Not hearing anything...oops I just dropped my books way to go klutz... Trying to pick up my books, as I feel this light tap on my shoulder, "hello? Want some help?" This beautiful, dark curly haired, blue eyed, sweet guy is staring straight into my eyes. (Wow)

"Uh yes please" I respond with a stutter.

"Can I take those books for you? I'm Peter Montgomery"

"...my name is Grace..." I look down again, shyly I look up and he's looking into my eyes...oh his gorgeous eyes... We have a connection, from that moment on I knew we would be great friends. As I get up, I say, "thanks "
Peter says in his lovely male voice "no problem, are you new here?"

Delighted by his politeness I say, "Yeah, I just moved here from
Tennessee"

Peter quickly responds, "Wow! Tennessee? That's a long drive! So uh, which way are you headed? Want some guidance?"

"Oh yes please, this school is so big, do you know where the history class is with Mrs.Walkner?" I say with no hesitation

{Peter} *i think to myself* ..her dimples...wow!! As i offer to take her bags, "yeah! I'm in her class" as I look away slowly "follow me"

{grace} "uh I'm sorry, but I'm deaf, would you mind looking at me when you talk so I can read your lips?"

Turning back around and looking quite concerned Peter says, "wait what?" "You're deaf?" He stops talking, he bow'd his head, and just a little nod back up, "I'm sorry to hear that, but you know..my sister was deaf. She passed away from cancer, 4 years ago." But she was deaf since birth....so I know a little bit..you're very oral. That's good"

I feel very confident that we will be great friends!
"Uh yes thank you.
"Yes. And you do a very good job with clarity. I'm guessing you had some practice, I'm really sorry about your sister"

Peter looks a little depressed. I'm guessing the thoughts of his sister, just brings back emotions.
"We should head to class, it's about to start" Peter says, softly, it was hard for me to read his lips when he said that, but I got it.
"Yeah that's a good idea"

"You know, when my sister was around, she didn't like to sign, it made her feel disabled. So we just went along with it, but I learned a little bit, I haven't used it for so long though, would you mind helping me learn Sing Language again?" Peter asks me

I get excited, of course I would want too "yes! I would love to teach you! It will be nice having another signer around here."

Peter seems happy! "Great! I can't wait. Do you want to come over to my house after school?

I then get depressed, i would love to go..."Well... I don't know if I could, my moms really sick right now so I have to go home and see how she's doing...She had a stroke about 2 months ago, so my grandma decided we needed to move closer to family, cause my aunt, uncle and two cousins live here"

Peter smiles, it was a flirty smile. with his beautiful black hair, and his pearly white teeth! "That's really sweet. They must really care. I don't have any family here" Peter says. I feel a little bad for him...

After class, we both meet at the door.
"So which class do you have next?!" I ask in all curiosity.
Peter answers "math..but I suck at it" Peter then squints his gorgeous big blue eyes.
I get hypnotized by his eyes! "Oh cool I have that class too. And I'm sure you can be that bad"
Peter looks at me, with a smirk on his face " no no, I suck..bad. But I guess that's what school is for right?"

As I'm standing in front of Cindy Wilsons locker, Peter loops straight behind me..and guess what...standing behind us is no other than Cindy herself, "hey loser, get out of my way, I need to freshen up my lip gloss... Hey, did you hear me?!"

Peter jumps in front of me.
"hey, back off she's deaf!!" *her face is almost as astonished as annoyed as disgusted* "ugh! Just get that girl away from my locker!! Can you catch deaf-nessy? I better go to the nurse"

Peter takes a breathe...turns around and from what I could see, he said "hey watch it! Don't push her around" Cindy makes a snotty remark when she turns around from walking away " oh and why are you coming to save her?"
Peter says the most bravest thing I've heard in a while, "Because stupid people like you, don't know how to give courtesy to others. Oh and but eh way no you can't catch being deaf you idiot"
Cindy gives a little sigh, and turns away.
Peter looks straight at me, and holds my shoulders, "grace..are you okay?"

Feeling like I'm in heaven, don't let go Peter, then real life comes back..."huh? Oh yeah, that happens a lot" I started blushing...

"Well it won't now that I'm here" Peter says with the sweetest smile..

"Let's just stay away from them" I say scared.."deal" Peter agrees.

As we both turn around the head football player ~Simon~ is up in peters face "I hear you pushed my girlfriend Around? Called her idiot?" Simon said furiously

"She was being rude to grace, and I won't deal with that, I'm sorry I was mad I wasn't trying to offend anyone. I bet your girlfriend is very sweet and not an idiot" Simon seems jealous and swings a punch at Peter, throwing him across the hallway. "Hey!" "DONT HURT HIM!!" I scream as i walk up to Simon "Oh*snicker* are you gonna protect this loser?" Simon turns to Peter " you gonna have your girlfriend here protect you?" As Peter gets off the ground holding his face. He looks straight at Simon "Well I don't see your girlfriend anywhere? So she's pretty good for me."

"And yes, I'll take all the protecting from her, because you can't hit a girl"
Simon angrily says " oh yeah, well how did you want me to tell you to stay away from my girlfriend?" At this point, I could tell that Peter was getting really frustrated with Simon, not only is there blood dripping all over his nose, and he has a black eye. But Simon just keeps going.

Luckily Peter is such a good guy, and handles it well.. He then says "well you know words are human"

Simon snickers and turns around. I don't know what he said.."Peter what did he say?"
Peter looks directly at me, "Simon said
Later losers".....
