English was boring it dragged on but at least I had Charlotte by my side to talk to.

Right now it's lunch and me and Charlotte are in the dinner line.

"So is there anything I should be weary about whilst eating the school lunch" I laughed and said to her .

She laughed back and said " actually yes avoid anything hot you don't know what's in it" she said slowly enough for me to understand.

I just laughed in response. We ended up getting a sandwich and a bottle of Dr Pepper.

I followed Charlotte to a table where sat three gorgeous girls .

"Hey guys this is Stella she's going to sit with us today" she said to them but then added "oh and she's deaf so speak slowly for her to understand".

I smiled and said "hi"

"Hey Stella I'm Mila" she had blonde short hair , honey coloured eyes and golden brown skin.

"Hey girl I'm Ellie" she had bright curly red hair, blue eyes and very fair skin.

"I'm Raven" the last girl said she had long curly jet black hair, charcoal eyes and beautiful ebony skin.

These girls looked like models was my first thought.

I sat down next to Charlotte and Mila and began to eat my sandwich.

"So Stella how is your first day going" Ellie said slowly. I smiled at that because nobody has ever really put in an effort to speak to me.

"So far so good except this one lad was a sket and decided to have a go at me" I said and I could feel the anger come back.

All four of the girls looked at me like I just spoke gibberish.

"What" i said. "Have I got something on my face" I said and signed

"no it's just your accent is really strange" Raven explained slowly.

I just laughed.

"and what's a sket?" Mila asked.

"It's an insult like saying someone is an idiot"I explained signing.

"Oh, i like it sket, sket,sket," she said.

I smiled "don't use it too much it's not the nicest of words"

"I don't want to scare you guys but why is Ace Rivers looking over here" Raven said looking a bit nervous.

All of us turned around and surely enough Ace was sat on a table in the middle staring at us. well actually me.

Around him was two other boys. They were fit. One had brown hair that way styled messy and the other had blonde hair that was kept short.

What is it with everyone looking like models I felt out of place.

"Oh no he's coming over here"I saw Ellie's lips say.

As Ace made his way over all of us just sat waiting nervously for him to arrive.

"You know deafy I didn't appreciate what you did this morning" Ace said slowly enough for me to catch what he was saying but still looking as mad and disgusted as ever.

"You know I don't appreciate being called deafy shitface"I shot back at him.

Why is he still carrying this on? Like it was over a fucking chair.

Everybody's eyes were glued on us now including the two boys I saw sat with him and the girls at my table.

I saw anger boil in his eyes and it kind of scared me a little. But not enough to stop me .

"Keep talking to me like that and you won't have any eye sight to go along with your loss of hearing"

what the fuck?

Who says shit like that?

I wasn't taking that. So I picked up my bottle of doctor pepper and dumped it down his T-shirt.

I looked around me and everybody's face resembled a shocked scared expression.

Ok maybe I took it a bit to far but he was being a dick.

"What the fuck..." By the looks of it he was shouting so I just looked away. Perks of being deaf you don't have to look or try to understand annoying people all the time you can just look away and ignore them.

Well maybe that wasn't a good idea because next thing I know he's grabbing somebody's lunch and aiming it at me.

I flinched and closed my eyes waiting for the impact but it never came.

I opened my eyes and looked up. Cohen was standing in front of me.

Whoooo it's great having a twin brother in your year.

I stepped away so I was beside Cohen and looked at what Ace was saying.

"Deafy don't think this over because it's far from it slut"he said almost too fast to catch what he was saying.

Slut. Wow he really is a dickhead.

"Whatever wanker I don't give a shit"I said and signed.

I haven't signed most of the day because I didn't need to but when I'm angry it just happens. So I'm basically stood here with a red angry face and my hands rapidly moving.

that's attractive.

I just picked up my things and walked out of the canteen Charlotte, Mila, Ellie and Raven following behind me.

I felt a tap on my shoulder and turned around to see Ellie.

"oh my god I can't believe you just did that"

"Well I didn't plan on it. Its just tough shit" I explained.

"Right. Whatever that means" she looked like I was mad.

"Anyway what time is it" I signed to the girls.

They looked at me waiting for something.

And then I realised that I was signing instead of talking.

"Oh sorry I forgot. what time is it?" I asked again but this time speaking.

"20 past 1 the bell should ring soon for last period" Ravens lips moved slowly.

"Okay can one of you tell me where the gym is I have that next" hoping one of the girls was in my class so I won't be lonely.

"I have that next too come on I will walk with you" Mila giddily said.

"Perfect"I smiled with happiness as I won't be alone.
