After math class, it was time for lunch in the cafeteria...so I walk down the stairs. Through the hallway, and to the back door of the cafeteria. I see a friendly smile from across the room, Peter! I smile back and walk over to him. "Did you bring money for lunch? It's really expensive here. Or did you at least pack something?" Peter looks at me, In curiosity. "Oh my gosh no I completely forgot. But I'm not that hungry anyway" the truth is I was starving..."I want to avoid Cindy and Simon, so I'm just gonna go sit outside until next period..ok?"

Peter was disappointed..."okay I'll see you later"

Meanwhile Peter was in line for his food.
"Uhm hi, I need 2 hotdog combos with a side of fries and lemonade. And 1 Cookie"

"Thanks!" Peter walks outside where no one is sitting.. But he sees me, the back side of me....."grace?" He taps my shoulder lightly, but scares me to high heck!!! "Oh my gosh! Peter! How long have you been there!" I say frightened.

"Uh 10 seconds. But I brought you some food" I felt warm inside, like happy. I'm just happy. "Thank you!! that's sweet! but you really didn't have to do that! I would have been fine without anything" (no I wouldn't)
I said while I was drooling over the food.

Peter looked at me, smiled and then sat down across from me. "No I wanted to, it's my way of saying thank you"
He says with the cutest smile...What a sweet guy! I can't tell him no, and I am really really really hungry!
He passes me my food, and my lemonade. Grabbing his and setting it off the tray. "So do-" that's all I could catch from Peter as he was eating.

"What? All I got was do you and a mouthful of hotdog" I tell him.
He looks at me, "oh! Sorry, I guess I should be more careful" he says in the most gentle way. From what I can see.

After a delicious meal, he takes all the trash, and takes it over to the trash can. Once he sits back down, things got a little quiet. But it's always quiet for me...so I take out my sketchbook. I open it to this sketch I was working on, it's this big elaborate girl, but her bottom half is octopus tentacles. I'm pretty proud of it! "Wow!! You drew that?! That's amazing!!" He says with wide eyes. "Well..yeah..but it's nothing" I say shyly..."no that's great grace!" He says...at least I think that's what he said....a few minutes later.

*Cindy walks up* *yells* "hey deaf girl!!! I talked to the nurse!! You're lucky, you didn't get me deaf-nessy!!" I'm beginning to get really annoyed with this girl..."it's okay, you don't have to yell, I can read your lips" i try to tell her calmly..she responds with squinted eyes.. "huh? There aren't any words on my lips, I'm glad I'm not deaf, it would probably make ME stupid too. I can see the disappointment in your eyes that you are deaf" Cindy waves her hand like she's some super star..."Cindy! Can you cut it out! She's not stupid."
Peter says as he jumps up from his seat..
Cindy looks surprised that he is off his chair, and yelling at her.."why do you even stick around her looser" she says looking directly at Peter.
"Because she's special, unlike some people"
Peter says softly while glancing at Cindy...Cindy looks disgusted. "ugh! What ever! Later losers" Peter starts to talks..but I can't quit get what he's saying..."peter, it's ok. let her go, she won't understand".....
