Deaf City

Chapter Three

"Great. This is just great. My father told my just to watch her, and the first thing I do is loose her. This is just what I need." Kidd said to himself while running around the school looking for Maka.

Kidd turned to his left and saw that Maka just went to her locker, but still she should have noted him first before running off. At this Kidd sighed in relief that she was fine. Just then, a guy came up to Maka at here locker.

'He's probably just trying to flirt with her.' Kidd thought. 'I wonder what he'll do when he learns she can't hear a damn word he's saying.'

Kidd found this amusing and decided to see what would happen. Unlike Maka who has no idea what is going to happen. The guy had a light flat brown hair, with eyes to match. He walks up to Maka at her locker, while she's putting her books away.

"Hi there." Said the brown hair male. No reply.

"So, word has it you're new in school. I don't know if you know it, but my name is Troy." Still no reply. At this point Kidd is laughing at him, but not too loud for him to hear it.

"Hello?" Troy tapped Maka on the shoulders. She turned around and looked at him blankly.

"Hi." Troy said and waved at Maka, indicating that it was a greeting. Maka just waved back at him without a word. "So, you got a name?" Maka smiled at him. Then she did sign gestures with her hands that confused Troy.

I saw Maka trying to communicate with Troy. It looks like she was losing his interest. I decided to walk over there to help her out a little.

"Hey Troy, how's it going?" I asked him.

"What it to you Kidd?" He snapped at me. He's probably still pissed that his girlfriend dumped him, so that she could stalk me. (A/N: Not really stalk, more like become a fan girl stalk.)

"Hey calm down. There no need to be snappy. I see you met Maka Albarn." I told him.

"Albarn . . . as in the vice principal Spirit Albarn, Albarn?" He asked. I nod my head.

"Why am I not surprise that Mr. Albarn has a daughter. With all the woman he sleeps with." He answered. I was confused at this but didn't show it.

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"You don't know? Spirit Albarn is the biggest flirt there is. He sleeps with countless women. Wonder if he daughter is just like him?" He asked looking at Maka. Poor Maka she can't even defend herself when someone talks bad about her. "Are you?" This time he asks Maka, but still no response.

"She can't hear you, you know?" I informed him. He looks at me.

"Why can't she?"

"She's deaf. She can't hear anything." This time it's me who looks at her while speaking. Maka is looking uncomfortable who the both of us looking at her like something wrong. She sign languages me that she wants to go to lunch, I just nod my head.

"We gotta' go before lunch ends." I said and start to walk off with Maka following me. Troy just stands there trying to absorb what just happened.

When we finally get to lunch there are whispers going around the cafeteria like from class earlier. I lead Maka to the table that our group like to eat at, after we grab our lunches. I sit down and Maka sits next to me looking more uncomfortable then before. Probably because she's not use to people.

"Hey guys. How's it going?" I ask trying to break the silence between all of us.

"It's going good. You?" Soul asks putting an arm around Liz. I felt a little sad because I had a thing for Liz, but she has feeling for Soul. So they ended up dating. Yes, it broke my heart, but all I can do is be happy for her. I could never bring myself to hate anyone she wishes to date. It's like people getting mad at you because the earth is round. It would just be unfair.

"Fine, considering that I had to run around the whole school looking for Maka. I'm just wonderful." I answered him.

"How do you even communicate with her anyway?" Liz asked.

Of course she wouldn't know the answer to that, yet if you ask her 'what's the difference between brands of clothes?' She'll give you a full lecture. It's crazy really.

"It's called sign language. You know, when you make words using your hands." I answered.

"Really? That's so cool! Show us Kiddo~!" Patty yelled.

"I don't know, maybe we should just sick with paper and a pencil."

"Okay! Big Sis can I have some paper?" Patty asked Liz.

"Patty, do you think that I carry around paper at lunch?" Liz asked her little sister.

"Oh yeah, I forgot." Patty said.

"Patty, Liz is not the person to ask for paper. You need to ask a nerd who does carry around paper." Soul said. "Kidd do you have paper?"

"AHAHAHA! THAT IS SO TRUE! KIDD DO YOU HAVE PAPER, SEEING THAT YOUR ALL SMART AND STUFF?" Black Star yelled. At this point sometimes I wish that I really was deaf too. I sigh; there is no point in yelling back.

"I have paper." Tsubaki said which grabbed everyone's attention. She goes and picks a pencil then a single piece of notebook paper. She places it in the middle for anyone could write but no one touches it. Finally Maka grabs the pencil and paper. She starts to write down something. When she's done she puts in the middle again. We all move in closer towards the middle to see what Maka wrote down.

There on the first line of the notebook paper was a single word.

Hello

In nice and neat handwriting.

Okay I am finished. I know that this story is really crappy but It'll just have make do for now. Thank you all for reviewing to my story, that I'm pretty sure of crap, but I can't do anything about it. I also had a different ending then this but it would have probably thrown my off. If you wish to read it then here it is.

~## Action ##~

"Fine, considering that I had to run around the whole school looking for Maka. I'm just wonderful." I answered him.

Author POV:

The group kept on talking and laughing about random stuff. But then didn't notice that someone was walking up to the table. (Mostly Kidd) The group stopped what they were doing and saw who it was. It was on other than Troy.

"Hey Kidd, I need your help." Troy asked.

"What can I possibly help you with, Troy?" Kidd replied.

"I want you to teach me sigh language."

~## Cut ##~

And done. I hoped you liked my little ending. I put that at first but I thought that would be really confusing, and weird. O.o

So I replaced it with something else. Well that's all I got, but I will see you all soon. Bye!~ :D
