Deafening Silence

My interpreter. Having him around only reminds me of what happened- only reminds me that five months ago, I could hear. That five months ago I could have a normal conversation with people. That five months ago I had friends. They all left you know, after I became deaf. I was part of the popular crowd, I wasn't the 'queen bee', but I was part of them. They completely left me after what happened. _____________________________ Scarlett is in her senior year, ready to leave the educational hell hole. She's so desperate to leave the school, where people give her an odd eye, wondering why she goes to a hearing school- when she's deaf. She only goes because she wants to feel normal, and being in a school filled with people like her, would not make her feel at ease. She takes life one day at a time; all alone. She refuses to let people in- fearing that she's just going to be a nuisance to them. But things start to change, when she realizes she can't handle being alone, she can't handle being treated the way she is, and that she can't handle living like she has.
