"oi! Watch where you're going" she was completely oblivious to him as he pushed her, she was running late, her classroom had changed for the next lesson and she was currently on the wrong side of the college with 5 minutes to spare. She started to move speedily in the direction of the new location, hoping she wasn't going to be late, her media studies teacher was ridiculously strict, if he heard you breathe you'd be in trouble so being late was not an option.

She heard the 2 minute warning bell ring and had come to the conclusion she was definitely going to be late. The double doors to the room finally came into view and she slowed down a little. She was about to push the doors open when someone pulled them from the other side and she stumbled forward straight into them.

She frowned and mumbled softly under her breath rubbing her head in pain.

"You should watch where you're going!" Someone said for the second time that day. She looked up at them willing them to move out of the way so she could just through the door. He folded his arms across his chest and smirked at her. "What are you staring at?" She opened her mouth wanting to answer him but the words caught in her throat and he'd started laughing her. She shifted uncomfortably trying to get around him, but his laughter was getting louder and the pain in her head was getting stronger.

"Tyler? What are you doing?" she blinked at the new face and then she looked down, the tears threatening to fall. He pushed Tyler out of the way and bent down to the floor picking up her book that she hadn't even realised she'd dropped. "It's Lauren isn't it?"

She didn't answer him.

He frowned "I'm Joey, look are you ok…" again she didn't respond, he frowned and tapped he shoulder gently, but she jumped several feet away from him. "Hey, sorry." He apologised, he could see the tears dripping down her face as her hand gently covered her forehead.

"JOEY!" Tyler yelled but Joey held his hand up to him.

"Shut up Tyler! Everyone shut up" he yelled and the class fell silent. Joey turned his attention back to Lauren and looked her directly in the eye "Do you want to tell me why you're crying?"

Lauren shook her head gently but Joey wasn't having it, he took her hand and moved her outside of the classroom. She shuddered and her hand immediately went to her ear. "Is your ear hurting you or something?" before she could do anything his hand was on her cheek, her eyes shutting anticipating his next move. Joey's fingers brushed through her hair and tucked her hair behind her ear. His fingers paused their movement and he smiled at her weakly as he saw the tiny piece of plastic in her ear . "Lauren, are you deaf?"

This is just a tester to see how this goes down... as far as I know this hasn't been done before, it's not a particularly long story but there's plenty going on... I hope you enjoy and i'll be back tomorrow if this goes down well :) xxx
