I Refuse To Speak

Arabella

I don't know what the hell I'm doing. Damon Broach, the baddie of Waterford High, is standing in front of me waiting for me to speak to him. I could feel the blood pumping through my neck, up to my ears and towards my cheeks. My hand began to shake, so I slid it behind my back. Should I run? Should I say something or should I sign it? Should I act like I don't speak English? What did he say? He cleared his throat, distracting me from thinking of more rational alternatives.

"Did you hear me," I watched as his thick eyebrow raised on his forehead. "Or do I need to repeat myself?" I nodded at him and he let out an annoyed sigh.

"My name is Dam-" I shook my head stiffly when I heard him repeating himself. I decided to sign to him.

'No, I heard you just fine.' His other brow arched and he cocked his head to the left. My heart skipped a bit and breath was caught in my esophagus. The way he looked at me was cute.

"Are you mute?" He asked bluntly causing me to shake my pointer finger.

'No,no. I just don't like to talk.'
