Hi everyone so this idea popped into my head the other day and I just had to write about it. I plan on uploading more chapters after I get a couple of reviews to get a feel for what you guys think about it. Thanks for reading and here we go with the first chapter of Silent Love.
'Sign Language'
"Speaking"
Sakura's Point of View:
I sat looking out the car window as my dad drove me to my new school. I, Sakura Haruno, would be attending Konoha Boarding School. Also known as the school for those with disabilities or abnormalities. We stopped as a train whizzed by and thought popped into my head. I wonder what that sounds like? I've been deaf ever since I was born, so this thought has popped into my head more than once. What do fireworks sound like, what about the wind, the rain, my own parents voices? I would never know. Although I've gotten used to this, it would be nice to meet others who knew sign language as well as I do. At the new school I will be attending all of the teachers knew how to sign and there was bound to be others like me. I was broken out of my reverie when my dad tapped on my shoulder and signed,
'Sakura we're here. Let me help you get your things inside.'
I smiled at him and looked out at the large campus. There were different houses spaced out throughout the area. Everything was split into dorms based on your grades and your needs. I would most likely be with others who know how to sign and those with grades above the average. I stepped out of the car and smoothed out my plain black skirt and my blue long sleeved uniform polo. My dad had already gotten everything out of the trunk and was waiting for me to walk into the main building. Trees lined the pathway and the little walk-ways spread out into different directions leading to different buildings. We passed by other students and they waved or said hello. Lip reading was easy when it was only a couple of words. We came up to an open doorway. We walked in and there was a woman behind a desk. The small name plate said Shizune on it. She began to speak and I couldn't make out the right words. I began to fiddle with a piece of my pink hair, a habit I developed when I was nervous or confused. She then looks at me and smiles,
'I'm sorry Miss Haruno. I wasn't thinking. Here is your schedule and I will have someone from your dorm come and get you.' She signed and them handed me a sheet of paper.
As I was looking over it, my father pulled me in for a hug. He kissed the top of my head and signed,
'I'm going to go now. Be careful. Text me if you need anything. Remember, I love you so much.'
He then waved to Shizune and left.
'Do you know who I will be staying with?' I asked.
She smiled and answered, 'I do, but I will let them introduce themselves. Good luck with this group though. They can be a little rambunctious.'
I smile and she waves to someone behind me. I turn to see a boy with black hair that spiked in the back. His eyes were onyx colored and he was at least a head taller than me. I would be lying if I said he wasn't good looking. His lips curved into a smirk as he looked at me .
'Hi I'm Sakura Haruno.' I signed.
'Sasuke Uchiha' He replied.
Shizune taps my should and signs, 'Sasuke will be taking you to your dorms house.'
I smile, wave goodbye, and turn to pick up my bags, but Sasuke already was walking towards the door with my bags in hand. I run a little to catch up and walk beside him. I wonder why he knows sign language so well. He turns to look at me and a blush creeps onto my cheeks. I turn away as I sign a quick thank you. He just shakes his head and walks towards a tall blue building. He walks up the stairs to the apartment like building. He then sets my bags down and opens the door. I walk in behind him and we walk into a living room type area. I have to resist the urge to hide my face in the back of his shirt as I see my new room mates. I wasn't expecting them to be all guys.
I know this chapter is a little short but they will get longer in the future. Thank you for reading and I hope you liked this first chapter.
