I may not be able to hear everything people are saying but I'm not as stupid as people take me to be. When I was 5 I was placed in a foster home where no one understood why I wouldn't talk. Now a day I can communicate with most people and now I'm in a new foster home. My name is Nachole Jayden Roberts, and I'm completely deaf, but that has never stopped me from living life. I have recently moved to lovely Wyckoff, New Jersey. But I never realized how cold it was til I got down here… I had originally moved from sunny Italy. But I got adopted by Gina and Scott Torma.

Its August now, and I'm starting school at Wyckoff High School. Its weird I don't have to wear a uniform. Being in the girl's home I was in, we had to wear burgundy skirts and a white polo with a burgundy tie, and some mary janes for shoes. Now I just wear jeans and shirts, mom got me a few punk rock shirts and some polo's in a variety of colors. Then she got me a bunch of different colored skinny jeans, with a variety of shoes. My favorite are the black and hot pink checkered converse's that are slip ons. So on my first day I choose to wear black skinny jeans my favorite converse's and a the academy is… t-shirt. I'm so nervous for my first day of junior high. When I got my schedule I found my first class and made friends very easily. My first friend was a guy named Jasper Whitlock who was partially deaf so he traded all his classes and put his schedule to be like mine so he could be my translator. My schedule consisted of a hectic day starting off with chemistry, then into music, after that is creative wrighting. Drama class was 4th period then I would go to lunch, then have trigonometry, world literature and composition then swimming was last. Jasper had to be in basic p.e because I signed up for girls swimming. And he couldn't be in 

creative wrighting due to the fact the class was full, and he had to take health due to the fact he failed it freshman year which fell the same time as my drama class and I didn't want to change. So when I got to 3rd period I had jasper tell the teacher I was deaf and had no one to sign to me. Luckily jasper had study hall that hour so he got a free pass to stay in the class and help me anytime I needed it. but I sent him on his way the first day. I didn't want him to baby sit me all day.

"Class we have a new student starting this year, this is Nachole Roberts. She is completely deaf so try and make her feel welcome." Then the teacher tapped me on the shoulder so I looked at him . "Nachole do you read lips?" he asked. I nodded my head.

"class if you want to ask her yes or no questions she can answer those with a shake of her head. So please refrain from asking stupid questions." Then I sat down and began wrighting down all the things Mr. Bowerman wrote on the board. Suddenly I felt the door open and I looked up and saw someone rush into the room. He was tall and had dark brown straight hair, and wore white skinny jeans with a fall out Boy t-shirt. And had a checkered dickies backpack. I saw the teacher say "take your seat behind Nachole Mr. Jonas." So his last name was Jonas and he was going to sit behind me. When he came by me he gave me a wink and a seductive grin I just rolled my eyes. So then everybody got up and I was looking confused, Mr. Bowerman came over and mouthed "were getting in partners to do a beginning of the year project." Then turned to the Jonas kid and asked him if he would be my partner. I looked at him when he started to say his answer… he said yes. Mr. Bowerman asked me to go have joe escort me and a note to excuse Jasper to be my interpreter but joe said he could handle it he knew sign language too. So I turned to go to the door to get jasper and he signed 

to me to come back but I said "no I want jasper to translate for me not some silly wanna be rocker boy." He looked hurt but I didn't care so I went down to the study hall and got jasper and we started talking on our way back to class.

"how is your class going?" he signed

"it would be going great if I didn't have a guy who wanted to get in my pants sitting behind me!" I signed back looking a little aggravated. Jaz noticed my aggravation and asked who it was.

"joe Jonas." I signed.

"do you know who he is?" he asked appalled.

"no do you expect me to know… since I don't hear and don't hear the news on the major gossip."

"he is Joe Jonas from the Jonas Brothers. Have you heard of them?" I gave him the look like if I would have heard of them I would be totally allowing him to fuck me where ever it pleases him. I conversation got cut short when we entered class and noticed everybody packing up for their next class. So jasper sat next to me in an empty desk and started talking to Joe.

"Jazz why are you talking to him??" I asked appalled.

"Because his music is amazing and my sister is like totally in love with his younger brother, Nick. Which lives over by us." I just simply rolled my eyes.

"Hey its time for our next class. Where you going Joe?"



"Im going to health, but my brothers both have drama next so I'm going to meet them there. Where do you guys go next?" Jazz told him I had drama next and he had health. So as I got escorted to drama jazz had asked Joe if Kevin or Nick could sign, and he said yes. So Jazz turned to me and signed "ok Kevin and nick can both sign as good as me so try to be on your best behavior and im going to have Kevin watching out for you so any bad behavior and I will know about it!" i stuck my tongue out at him "I will be on my best behavior daddy!" I signed back to him, he just started laughing. We got to the drama room door and a guy who looks about 16 walked out followed by a guy who looks old enough to be out of school. Joe pulled up his hands and started signing all the words he spoke. "Kev, nick this is Nicole, she doesn't have an interpreter for this class due to jasper being in health with me so could you guys improvise?" they both said yes. So I walked into class and jasper gave me a quick kiss on the cheek.

"Jasper what the hell was that? I didn't know you liked me that way?" i signed to him. He just shrugged and left with Joe who looked a bit hurt. The rest of the day flew by fast. Nick was in 2 classes and I made a few girlfriends, 2 of their names were Liberty, and Ana. And one who lived next door to me, Ariannah. When I got ready to get on the bus jasper signaled me to his car and asked if I wanted a ride home. I told him yes.
