Ok so I don't want anyone to be offended by anything in this story. If Edward says something that you think is mean, just remember that he is thinking it about himself, and remember that even if people who are deaf are just like every one else. I really hope everyone enjoys this story!! This is the first chapter from Edwards POV, so enjoy!!
I woke up to the light nudge of Esme pushing my shoulder. I groaned and pulled the covers over my head. I felt the bed go down a little, letting me know Esme had sat down next to me. She pulled to covers away from me and gave me a warm motherly smile.
Wake up! You need to get ready for school. She signed quickly. I shook my head and faked a cough.
I can't, Im sick, sorry, I can't go to school today. I signed before trying to pull the covers back up. She caught them and threw them of the bed. I shivered as the cool air attacked me.
Sorry, but you have to get up now or else you will be late! She sign amused. I sighed and got up. After I was all ready, showered and dressed, I walked down stairs to grab something to eat. Emmett was in the kitchen making breakfast.
Hey Edward, I made you eggs. He signed happily pointing to a plate on the table. I eyed him suspiciously.
What did you do to them? I asked cautiously. He looked at me, faking hurt.
I didn't do anything to them brother! He signed with a fake smile. I cautiously walked over to the table and slowly took a bit of the eggs. As soon as I swallowed I pretended that it was poisoned and feel out of my seat holding my throat. I laughed as I got back up, but Emmett just took my plate and began eating it.
Hey! I thought those were for me? I signed quickly. He smiled and put the plate down.
Well next time you shouldn't be mean to me. He signed before walking away. I groaned and went to the cabinet and grabbed a cereal bar before heading outside. Jasper was in the car waiting for me. I ran over and got in the back seat. Alice turned around in her seat to look at me.
The new girl is going to be here today! She signed excitedly. I rolled my eyes at her. What was the big deal, it's not like she's different from everyone else. I bet she wouldn't want all the attention im sure everyone will give her, well unless she loves attention. I guess I am kind of excited to meet her, but I won't be able to talk to her unless she knows sign. Ugh, I sighed thinking about how she would most likely not know any sign, and even if she did I wouldn't have a chance with her.
I don't stand a chance with any girl. The rest of the way to school I just looked out the window, until I saw the familiar school parking lot. I got out of the car and began heading towards my first class. School didn't start for 26 minutes but at least I could talk with my sign teacher. As I turned the corner by the office I ran right into a girl. I almost gasped when I realized it was the new girl, she was so beautiful she had pretty brown hair and big chocolate brown eyes, she was perfect. I began helping her pick up all of her papers that had fallen.
When they were all picked up I helped her up and noticed she was saying something to me. I frowned and pointed to my ear while shaking my head, letting her know I could hear. Her eyes widened slightly and she held up a finger asking me to hold on. Then she signed something to me.
Are you deaf? She asked nervously. I nodded, trying to make her feel a little less nervous. Does she know sign?
My name is Edward Masen, do you know sign? I asked her. She got a really confuse look on her face, I laugh quietly before grabbing a piece of paper and a pen and writing down what I had signed, except I asked for her name instead of if she knew sign, she obviously didn't. She took the paper and smiled, she was going to write down something, when miss shields walked up.
Hello, im miss shields are you new? She asked Bella. Bella nodded before answering.
Yes, I just got here. Miss shields translated. I smiled at her and said 'thank you' when Bella wasn't looking. She just smiled at me.
Oh, well it's nice to meet you, im the sign teacher here. I noticed you met Edward, do you know sign? She asked. She shook her head and it looked like she sighed or took a deep breath.
No I don't, but suddenly I really want to learn. Bella blushed when she saw miss shields had told me what she said. I blushed a little myself; did she want to learn because of me? Does she like me? There's no way, she is so beautiful how could she like me?
She says her name is Bella, and she is very happy to meet you. Miss shields signed to me. I smiled, Bella, what a beautiful name, it matches her perfectly.
Tell her, it's nice to meet you too, and please ask if she would mind if I saw her class list? I asked nervously. I didn't want to seem weird or anything. Bella smiled and handed me a piece of paper, it was her schedule. I read it over and smiled, we had three classes together. Yes! We have third, fifth, and sixth period together! I signed excitedly to miss shields. Suddenly Bella face got slightly sad. I was about to ask what was wrong when miss shields told me the bell had rung.
Well Edward you need to go to class, tell Brenna I will be there in a few minutes okay? I sighed before giving Bella one more look and walking away. Gosh, she is so beautiful. I wish so badly I could hear, so I could talk to her. Dammit! Why can't I be normal?! I walked into my class and went to put my bag down, then headed over to Brenna's desk.
Hey, miss shields said she was going to be in, in a few minutes. Oh and she said I was in charge. I signed with a big smile. Brenna narrowed her eyes at me.
Sure she did, go sit down you dork. She signed pushing my shoulder a little. I laughed and went to my seat. I got my note book out a began drawing on the cover. When I looked up the door was opening and Bella came in with miss shields! I smiled brightly at her and she smiled back. The shields pointed to me and Bella walked over, claiming the empty desk next to me. I didn't have time to do anything because shields began signing.
Okay class, as most of you noticed we have a new student in our class, so when ever you can help Bella, please do. In fact, Edward, why don't you take Bella in the hall and teach her some stuff we have learned okay? Thanks you miss shields. I nodded and grabbed a book before heading to shields desk.
What do you want me to help her with? I asked when I set the book down.
Just teach her the alphabet and start on chapters one and two, okay? She signed. I nodded and Bella and I went outside. I laughed when Bella's jaw dropped at all the words on the first page of the book. I took her hands in my to try to comfort her, then slowly let go and pointed to the sections that said A, B, C. she look terrified, I just shook my head; the alphabet isn't hard, I thought to myself. I opened the page with all the letters on it and began doing them. After we both did it about five times it was her turn to do it alone. I watched carefully as she slowly began: A, B, C…D? I almost laughed as she attempted a D, I reached for her hand and helped her, she shyly smiled and continued. She finished and I gave her a big smile. She did them about four times and was getting really good, when I decided to start teaching her some words. I pointed to nice on the page and showed her the sign. She copied me as I showed her, nice, and then meet. I then showed her how to sign nice to meet you. By the time kids started leaving there class rooms, telling me the bell had rung, I had taught her about four phrases and about twelve thirteen words:
Nice to meet you
See you later
Thank you
Where were you born?
Like
Don't like
Understand
Don't understand
Please
Sorry
Fine
Yes
No
Bathroom
Christmas
Happy
Friend
She could understand all of those words and phrases in only thirty minutes. She was amazing. I walked her to her class and when we were at the door she turned to me.
Thank you she signed with a big smile. I nodded, saying your welcome, and turned away, before I left I signed one more thing, seeing I remembered.
See you later she smiled and nodded. I was very happy as I walked to my next class. But of course I couldn't stay that way. As I turned the corner I saw mike and Tyler standing in the hall talking. I tried to turn around before they saw me but it was too late. Mike ran up to me and pushed me into a locker. I really hate these guys, they do this all the time, and I never did shit to them. Mike looked at me and said something, he was such an idiot, he knew I couldn't hear him. I knew what he wanted though. I reached in my pocket a handed him the twenty I had. He smiled before pushing me to the floor and walking away. I just sat there for I minute before standing up and slowly heading to class. Mike and Tyler were such ass wholes; they only do what they do because I can't hear. I know Im smarter then both of them, put together, but there stronger then me. But boy if Emmett or jasper ever found out about what they did to me just about every day im sure they would be dead. I took a deep breath and enter my next class, the whole time thinking not about mike and Tyler, but about how I would be able to see Bella in forty five minutes. The whole time I was counting down the minutes.
So what did you think? I love Edward so much, I think im gonna have Emmett and jasper have a little chat with Mikey and Tyler in a chapter coming up, what do you guys think? Yeah or no, Hahaha tell me. Alright well go ahead now and REVIEW!!!!
