Kelly-

Ever seen since the day I came into this world , there has been silence for me.

My world is full of silence with no way to communicate with others. I was born deaf , and just a few months ago I started to read lips. My parents don't have the time to teach me sign languege , because they work most of the time. I can hear only lightly , and can talk just a little though .

I live at La Push reservation with my parents Greg , and Karey. I don't really go out even though it's small here. I worry to much about what would happe if a stranger asked me something.

My friend Amy , and Anthony are my only company other than my family. They lip read everything to me when someone asks me for or to do something. My parents tried to teach my sign , but I didn't want to learn. The good thing is tha they didn't force me to learn it.

I walked around my little house , and looked around. I get so frustrated when I want to hear something , but know that I can't. I'm 16 , and I don't know how to count to ten , or my ABC's.

Wow , that is very sad according to my older sister Karina. She isn't deaf so she doesn't understand , but she's the one who has taught me almost everything like reading , and writing.

I could feel vibrations coming from the front door , and went to open it.

It was Anthony , my friend.

"Hey Kells, what are you up to?" He asked. His lips were easy to read. He talked nice , and sweetly.

" looking," I said.

"Kelly don't you get bored staying inside ALL day?" He asked.

I shook my head no.

"C'mon let's go to the beach.

I followed him since he was right I was bored.

In the reservation where I live at there is this group of boys. They think their all toughf because they only wear cutoffs when it's freezing. They were at the beach today goofing around when we got there.

I looked at them. I knew their names , but only talked to one. Jared. He was my cousin , but I didn't see him very much.

We walked around untill my feet started to hurt.

"Stop," I said.

Anthony smiled and sat down. I mimiced him.

"You want to go get some food?" He asked. I liked how he talked simple sentences to me. They were easy to read off his lips.

"Yes," I smiled.

We walked into Sue Clearwater's little store , and looked around.

I ran my hands through the boxes , and bumped into someone warm. I fell on my butt within seconds of the impact.

"Watch where your going!" The voice yelled. What did he say?

The voice belonged to a male that I knew.

"Sorry," I rushed out. At least I thought I'd said sorry , because this boy was looking at me funny.

He smiled , and started to talk to fast so his lips were unreadable.

Anthony came up , and helped me off the ground.

He said something to the boy/man that made him look at me very funny. I had a feeling he'd told him I was deaf.

I lowered my head in shame , and didn't look back up.

I ran out of the store , and sat outside waiting for Anthony.

"Why did you leave?" Anthony said when he finally came outside.

"Got cold," I said.

"That was Paul he said he wanted to be your friend , and that you were pretty," Anthony smiled.

I blushed.

Who knew my life would be changing in those moments.

(A/N do you like it? Should I continue?)
