Listen to your heart
Chapter 1
Kai POV
I moved my toes deeper in the sand, letting the waves wash over my feet. It was one of the best feelings in the world. The idea that the water could just wipe away all the worries was amazing. That I could just sink into the sand and disappear from the world. I wish I could hear the waves lapping against the shore. I was told by my brother that it was a very relaxing sound. I needed to be relaxed right now. I always let my temper take over.
I lived in California before we moved. I lived there all my life, but then my mother decided to uproot the whole family so we can spend some time with my grandma. I didn't see why we had to. She was a chain-smoker, whiskey-drinking, good-for-nothing bitch. She kicked my mom out of the house because she was in love with a white man. It's not like my mom was pregnant or wanted to get married, she just told my grandma that she was in love and the bitch throw her out. So my mom and dad moved in together, finished high school, and when to college together.
It all started today, first day of school in a new town.
*flashback*
I quickly walked up to the front office, by binder held tightly to my chest. The rain pelted down on my auburn hair. Finally I flew through the door, only to face a new dilemma. I hated trying to communicate with hearing people. They always try to help me when I don't need their help. They always give me pity when I want to punch them for thinking something is wrong with me. This is who I am. I'm a part of a community that I'm proud to stand for. I will amite that it's hard, but who doesn't like a challenge.
The woman at the counter looked up at me and smiled. Instead of watching her face, I watched her lips. Hello sweetheart, can I help you?
I opened my binder and grabbed my notebook. Inside I wrote, hello, my name is Kai. I'm Deaf and a new student.
I could tell when the woman was done reading because she had a sad expression on her face. She quickly spun her computer chair so she could grab something off the desk behind her. She handed me a folder. I opened it and inside was a map of the school, my classes, and a sheet of paper that the teachers need to sign. Also in it was a note. If you need anything just ask. I nodded to her then left for my first class.
When I walked into the classroom I went straight to the teacher. I showed him the same note that I showed the lady in the office. The teacher, Mr. Penick, gave me a sad smile then pointed to a desk in the front, so I could read his lips. My next two classes went the same. The kids starring at the new girl and looks of pity from the teachers.
Before going to lunch I had to stop by my locker. I had a top locker. I knew I had the compo right but the locker was so old that it would just not open. I was standing there for about five more minutes before I felt someone push me. I fell to the ground hard, landing on my elbow. Pain flooded in my arm. I look up to see a blond girl yelling at me. Everything about her screamed fake. Her hair color, her nose, and most of all he breast. I looked to her lips to try and see what she was saying. …so u better not stand in front of my locker again. Why are to looking at me wide-eyed? What are you, a scary, little bitch?
That was it, I said to myself. I got up off the floor and look this blond bimbo in the eyes. Then I started to sign. I knew that the bitch wouldn't be able to understand me, but when I sign at people then get confused and then when they understand, the fell guilty and leave me alone. WAIT. ME DEAF. CANT HEAR YOU. YOU GO-TO LUNCH ROOM. US-2 FORGET… but before I finish she grabbed my hands to stop my signing. Oh no she didn't. That was one of the rudest things you could do to a deaf person. It was like telling someone to shut up but a hundred times worse. I was shocked. Then to make it worse she said, what the hell are you doing, freak!
I ripped my hands out of hers, but that was a mistake. The second my hands were free, her hand made contact with my face. She slapped me! I looked away from her, trying to fight back tears. I saw a group of students had made a circle around us. My eyes locked on someone's beautiful brown eye but I turned away. I looked back at the blond girl. She had a smug look on her face and a small smile. So I ran, out of the school and as far as my feet would take me.
*End of Flashback*
I never wished that I was not deaf. I wished that people were not hearing. People don't see the world. They just let I pass by. I always tried to make the most out of life. Take chances, and make mistakes. Isn't that the point of life.
I was suddenly pulled out of my own little world by a tap on my arm. I looked up to see a pair of deep brown eyes. The same eyes I saw before I ran out of the school crying.
