The teacher has been talking for a full hour now, all I can hear is a muffled and continuous sound. All the other students around me are feeling the same. I can see someone with their head resting on their hand, scribbling away in the back of the book; I can see someone else gazing out of the window into the grounds, the lecture being so boring that watching grass grow was more amusing to them. Many others just stared into space, pretending to listen. One boy in the corner had even fallen asleep, I could hear his heavy breathing nearly snoring.

"….To sum up, it's all about genetics. Everything about you comes from your parents which is passed on through the genes in the sperm and egg, and you find genes in chromosomes-"

"Wouldn't it have been much better to summarise it before killing us with boredom, miss?" A boy near the front spoke up, provoking a small reaction from the class.

'Cover teachers' I thought 'They're cover teachers for the pure reason that they can't teach'

The teacher coughed to regain silence. "Now, who can tell me how many chromosomes there are in the body……Emayai?"

She looked directly at me. I looked back, saying nothing.

"Don't sit there gawking girl, answer the question"

Still I said nothing.

"Em don't speak miss" A girl in the middle told her, "she ain't said nothing since she came here"

"I heard she was born without vocal chords and her parents couldn't be bothered to get them repaired. Either that or I figure she's just too stupid to know how to talk" The boy near the front remarked, watching me for a reaction. He didn't get one. Kaine has been trying to make me say or do something for years, with no success.

The teacher turned her question to another student and seemed to now be ignoring me. Not that I cared, I wasn't going to open my mouth to anyone. Not anymore.

I can't even remember when I last said anything, even at home I do not respond to my parents. At school I don't make a single sound.

Why? I don't want to. Not ever again.
