Your alarm clock went off, signaling for you to get up. Gamzee grunted from across the room. You stood up and stretched. Since it's gonna take your brother a while to get up, you grab a purple shirt and black pants and walk out of your room to the bathroom. You enter, close and lock the door, then turn on the shower water, getting the water temperature how you like it. You check it again, then take off your current clothing and hop in.
It's been 3 years since you promoted from 8th grade. You're 16 now and you've grown quite a bit, as you are 6'4", but still skinny as ever. You still haven't technically met Meulin, and when you're about to go up to her, you have no idea how you're gonna introduce yourself. You can't talk, and you don't know if she can read sign language. You sigh. A knock on the door comes. "Bro, it's been like 15 minutes."
You blink a couple times then shut off the water and get out to dry off. You don't bother brushing your hair, put on clothes, then walk out. "Thanks bro." Gamzee says, walking in the bathroom as you go back to your room.
As you get in, you sit on your bed, put socks on and grab your phone. You got a couple texts. You open the first one as you see it's from Rufioh. 'Yo, we gonna play some baseball before school starts, you 1n?'. You reply with, 'SURE. WHERE AT? :o)'. In a second, you get 'Ask M1tuna, he's sett1n the sh*t up'
On that, you look at the other message, and it was from Mituna. 'H3Y M337 U5 411 47 7H3 F131D 4CR055 FR0M 5CH001.'
You smile and continue. From Porrim you get 'Go+o+d mo+rning Kurloz.' You reply with 'GOOD MORNING :o)'
You put on your shoes, grab your backpack, walk out of your room, knock three times on the bathroom door to let Gamzee know you're leaving, hearing a later from him. You walk to the front door, wave to your parents and walk out, heading towards Alternia highschool. As always, you have your mp3 on. After 15 minutes you reach the school, then continue your way to the field right across from it. As you come up to it, you see not only Rufioh, Mituna and Porrim, but it seems Cronus, Latula, and Horrus have joined. You haven't associated with Latula and Horrus much, but Cronus is usually around wherever you all gather. You walk up and Mituna's the first to greet you, and after communicating with the others, Latula and Horrus slightly surprised to learn you're mute, but are alright with it. After a couple minutes you all get the game started.
~Be the deaf female.
It's been three years since promotion, and you're happy you're still around the school. You're about to head there as you check your phone. You have a text from Horuss. '8=D xcuse me but would you like to hang out and play baseball before school, at the field?' You think it over for a second. '\(=^..^)/ NAWWWWWWWWW, I'M GOOD, THANK YOU THOUGH :3' You didn't really want to today. Since it was the first day of your Junior year, you didn't want to chance being late.
You walk out of your house with Nep and your parents and get in the car. As you all take off, you see Kurloz walking. You learned his name in freshman year, and still haven't built up the courage to talk to him. You sink in your seat a little as you pass him. You get up a little and look behind. Then when you turn around Nepeta pokes you. You look at her and can tell she's giggling. 'Why don't you ask him out already?' Nepeta signs. You can feel yourself blush, and sign back, 'I can't!'
Nepeta smiles. 'I can ask his brother to ask him for youuu' she signs. 'What? No!' you say loudy. Your mom looks back at you. You smile and wave. She shakes her head and smiles, turning around. Nepeta giggles again. You feel the car stop, say goodbye to your family then step out. You walk to the building where the classrooms are held, noticing they did some renovations. Some? Bit of understatement. Last year, It was one story. Now, it's 3 stories high, and looks like it was widened a little. You notice stairs on the outside, too. You go and sit on them, near the middle. You check your phone. School wasn't starting for another hour or so. Maybe you should have hung out with Horuss and whoever else. You start sketching on a loose-leap piece of paper. Usually you sketch when you're bored. You're thinking of Kurloz. You tell yourself you're going to finally say hi. You're heart races as you think of him. It's strange, feeling this way about someone. You hope he at least notices you. You look down and noticed you've sketched his upper body. You blush and notice a group of people walking on campuss. You first notice Horuss, then Latula. The next one that catches your eye is.. Kurloz. You quickly get up, and walk up the stairs quickly.
~ Be the paper she sketched on.
"Wait for meeeeeee!" Noone can hear you. You're an inanimate object.
~Be Kurloz.
You and the group had finished with your game, and headed to the school seeing as it was nearing its start. You all walk on campus. You see Latula call out to a girl sitting on the stairs. It's Meulin. She looks up after a couple seconds, gets up then hurriedly walk up the stairs. "Strange." Horuss says.
Your heart was beating faster than normal. Latula shrugs, then the group starts walking. You're standing where you were. "You comin?" Mituna asks.
You shake your head, then sign 'No, my first class is upstairs.' Mituna nods. "Later then."
The others tell you later then you walk over to the stairs. You had noticed she dropped a paper. It looked like she was sketching a person, looks like you. Wait.. It is you. Your heart beats faster as you look up the stairs. You walk up them slowly, putting the paper in your bag.
~Be Meulin.
You had walked into the hallway. 'Oh god!..' you think. 'What if he saw me? Wait.. Where's my drawing?' You realize you dropped it. You hurry and turn around, hoping to find it, when you run into someone tall. You look at the shirt. Your heart beats fast. You're almost afraid to look up. He holds up a paper. Your sketch. You take it then run off.
~Be the paper.
"I'm not a whore, stop passing me around!" You're not a person either, stop talking!
~Be Kurloz.
You watch her run off after snatching the paper. You were gonna tap her on the shoulder before she turned around. Then you were only able to stand there frozen, holding the paper up. She snatches it and runs down the hall. Your face has turned a bright color. You just wish you could speak, it'd make meeting her so much easier, you think.
