My name is Nixie. I live in Forks, Washington and I'm in my first year of high school. A year after my mom died my dad turned me over to the state. I live with a foster family. Oh, and recently I lost my voice from infection so now I'm fluent in ASL. People at school call me deaf just to be rude. Or they did but then I made friends...

"Hey, little softie!" Emmett took my backpack from my shoulder and put his arm around me as I walked to class. "What's the matter? Someone told me you were feeling down."

I smiled, wondering who told him that

ASL: I got called deaf again

"Really?" I nodded. "Who was it?"

ASL: Jessica...wait, Emmett! Where are you going?

Emmett had given me my bag back and was going off in search of Jessica. "Go to class. I'll see you at lunch."

I threw a ball of paper at him for all the good it would do!

LUNCH

I entered the cafeteria and hurried over to our table instead of getting in line.

ASL: Emmett! Is she still alive?!

Edward laughed. "You ever going to control your over active imagination?"

ASL: no! Now mind your own business!

It didn't weird me out anymore that he always seemed to know what I was thinking but I still wondered about it

"Don't sweat it, Nixie. I let her live to regret it!" Emmett grinned mischievously.

I laughed, a sound no one will ever get to hear.

ASL: good!

After lunch I had a pop quiz. I was stressing over it when I noticed Alice, two rows over trying to get my attention. She signed, "Cool down!"

I looked at my right hand, which was gripping the seat and realized that it was in danger of melting. Alarmed, I let go and took calming breaths to cool off then finished my answer.

After class ended I went outside wondering where Alice went.

"Hey Nixie!" Emmett yelled from across the lot where he stood next to his Jeep. "Come on; I'll drive you home!"

Everyone stared as I ran across too him. Riding with Emmett is exciting/scary but better then walking.

I do not own Twilight. I own Nixie. Also this is a trailer, so too speak, just to see if this story is worth writing. Let me know if you're interested. Thanks!
