The sound of the school bell ringing brought me to my feet as I brushed my clothes off, straightening my hoodie that was hanging loosely from my petite frame. It was my first day at this school and I must admit that the anxiety was biting me in the *ss. Making friends and learning new schedules has never been my thing, especially since I was actually mute. Almost everyone who tries to speak to me without knowing about me being mute takes it as me being rude and either hits me, curses at me, or storms away. Shaking my head, I forced the sour thoughts from my head as I glanced over to the principal and my mother, the two currently wrapping up their conversation.
"Well it was nice talking to you, ma'am. I'm sure your daughter will make plenty of friends here! If either you or your daughter have any issues don't forget that i'm always open for chatting." The man's tone was welcoming and friendly, which somewhat surprised me due to the fact that he was a good 6'3" and slender, his facial hair taking up most of his face. He looked as if he'd be the very secluded type or at least the type that hated children of all ages, especially teenagers. "Thanks for taking your time to speak with me! I'm sure my daughter will be fine and have no issues, especially if your staff is as nice as you! Anyways, I'm sure my daughter has classes to get to so I better be on my way. It was nice talking to you, Mr. Sanders." Hand extending, the two shook hands with friendly smiles before my daughter said her partings. As she passed by me she pecked my cheek lovingly and wished me luck, leaving me in the hallway with this so called Mr. Sanders.
"I will show you to your class, Ms. Belle. You will be attending Gym for first period. Terrible, right?" The tall man made his way to me with a friendly smile, his hand extending and offering me a sheet of paper which I assumed to be my schedule. I took it after a moment, my anxiety more than obvious as I stuffed it into my pocket quickly. My gaze quickly snapped to the ground as I sheepishly shuffled my feet, my head giving a short and anxious nod. I almost thought that he didn't notice it but not even seconds later he chuckles, gently patting my back before motioning with his hand for me to follow as he began to walk down the now empty hallway. My fingers fiddled as we made our way down the hall and outside to the gym, Mr. Sanders opening the door for me as we finally arrived at the large separate building. "Hello coach Wells and coach Dixon. This is our new student, Ms. Quinn Belle. She will be in your first period class from now on and I ask that the whole class treats her kindly and with respect. Ms. Belle is unable to communicate verbally but she is fully aware of what everyone says and I ask that you treat her like normal. Now, if you excuse me, I have some papers to do. I hope you enjoy your stay at Falcon's High. It was a pleasure meeting you." With another single pat to my back and wide smile he turned, making his way out of the gym almost as quickly as we made it in. It was then I noticed all the eyes on me and the small mutters. Well crap.
"Well, Ms. Belle, it is a true pleasure to have you as a new addition to my class but I'm afraid we have no free time for today. Is any student willing to take Ms. Belle here under their wing for the next day or two? Show her around the school and make her feel right at home?" The lady, who I assumed to be 'coach Wells', spoke up as her eyes scanned the room for any takers. I frowned slightly as the class remained silent, not a single student making a move until a single hand raised. I sighed inwardly, making my way over to that singles student. I didn't bother looking up right away, my fingers shyly working against a piece of paper as I used my pen to write a single word. 'Hello.'
