Lachlan's Pov:

One boy walks into class and he starts using hand jesters and the teacher talks to him, I lean over my desk and I tap Rob's shoulder.

"That is Sigh Language right?" I ask.

"Yea." He states.

"Can you read it?" I ask.

"No but Matt can." He tells me, I wave down Matt and he smiles at me.

"What is he saying?" I ask

"Aren't you learning it?" Matt asks

"Yea, but I suck at it." I tell him

"Okay, I may have took the new kid into the bathroom to get to know him before I showed him around. He is a Mute and Mr. Lorenzo made us have all of the same classes." He tells me.

"He is saying that?" I ask

He nods.

"Well that is very smart of him, but make sure you still pay attention. And where is he?" I hear Mrs. Sanson ask.

The boy standing in front of Mrs. Sanson turns around and jesters for some on to come in, I see a boy come in, he was lanky, tallish, he had blue eyes and light brownish hair.

"Well what is your name?" Mrs. Sanson asks.

He raises his hand and signs to her, I look at Matt and he lets out a sigh.

"My name is Brandon Hutt." Matt tells me. I nod my head and look back to the front of the room.

"Okay class we have a new student here with us today, His name is Brandon. Now be nice. Follow Vikk and there is an empty desk right next to him." Mrs. Sanson states.

The walk towards the desk but Matt raises his hand. Mrs. Sanson acknowledges him and he asks the question.

"How are you Mute?" He asks the new kid, he freezes and he looks right at Matt.

"Matt ca you read sigh language or do I have to translate?" I hear Mrs. Sanson ask.

"I can read it, my brother that died about a year ago from the car crash was a selective mute, so I learned it to talk to him." Matt says with a shy smile.

I look back at the two kids standing there and the caramel colored boy places his hand on his shoulder and smiles.

He sighs to Matt and then rubs the back of his neck. I look at Matt and he takes out a piece of paper and write something down. He hands it to me and I read it.

Well, it is Kinda selective and kinda not. Mt doctor messed up my vocal cords during surgery. There is a 50% chance I will ever talk again.

"Mrs. Sanson I have a question." I state raise my hand, I look at the boys and the caramel color one freezes when he sees me, then he sets behind the new kid.

"Okay Lachlan then ask." Mrs. Sanson states

"Why would you choose not to talk, who would choose not to talk?" I ask.

The caramel color kid looks at me than at Mrs. Sanson.

"Lachlan do you know sigh language?" She asks me.

"No but I am learning it, but I am struggling." I state

The caramel color kid signs something to her and comes out from behind the new kid.

'Vikk is a selective Mute." Mrs. Sanson tells me.

"But why? Why choose not to talk, and when did he get here. I have never seen him. I don't think any of us have." I state, looking back at the boy and here.

'it is because none of you in this room besides Matt know sign language so how is he suppose to talk to you all. And because he is a good student he is usually the first one here and the last one to leave. Now Vikk and Brandon go sit down and then the lesson will start." Mrs. Sanson states in a serious tone.

I watch as the two boys walk to their desk and sit down, I look at the caramel colored boy, Vikk I think is his name, and I think he notices that there where eyes on him, also the new kid because he shrinks in his chair. I hear the teacher start talking but I don't move my eyes off the caramel colored boy.

~Time Skip~

The bell rings and I gather up my things, I look over at the boys again and I see Matt walking over to them. I then walk over there to. Matt stops in front of them.

"Hi, I am Mathew Nooch, but call me Matt, and I am sorry."

Vikk and the new kid look at his confused and he let out a sigh.

"I asked the question and the Lachlan asked his, I felt like it was my fault that you guys got uncomfortable. You could definitely see that you where uncomfortable." Matt states.

The new kid signs something to him and I see Matt smile, and that is when I and standing right next to Matt, Vikk looks at me and hides behind the new kid, he looks confused until he notices me. Matt looks at me and jumps.

"Dude you scared me! Make a sound or something before you stand next to me." Matt states holding his hand over his heart.

I laugh a little bit, before looking at the two boys again.

"What is his name again? The new kids?" I ask Matt.

"Is name is Brandon." Matt states.

"Well it is very nice to meet you Brandon, now why is the shorty hiding behind you?" I ask.

I see Vikk sign something and I look at Matt.

"He said that he is not use to all of these people around, well students around him. We didn't know him until the beginning of the class any ways." Matt states.

"How long have you been here Shorty." I ask

He sighs something again and Matt laughs.

"I have a name you know and it is Vikk! And I have been going to the same school as most of the people here since 9th grade. Wait really?!" Matt states

"You have been here for 3 years and you have hide that long from us. Wow you got some skills there." I state.

Vikk signs something again.

"it is not skill it is not having a voice to talk to people like you with. No one want to talk to a Mute." Matt states.

Brandon moves out of the ways, and I could see Vikk standing there, Brandon then places his hand on his shoulder.

"We are talking to you now. And just because you don't have a voice dose not mean that we don't want to talk to you." Matt states.

Vikk signs something again and Matt lets out a sign.

"Dude, I am learning sign language and I am failing it you need to tell me what they are saying, please." I state

"Been here for 3 years and the only people that have talked to me are the teachers, tried a few time to get in contact with the students, they just walk pass." Matt tells me.

I frown and I look down at the short and petite boy in front of me.

"I am sorry Vikk." I state

Brandon signs something to him and Vikk nods.

"We need to get to class Vikk and would you like to come over to my house? I have a other brother than knows sign language and my mother learned it to." Matt tells me what Brandon states.

Vikk nods his head and smiles a little bit.

"How long have you been a mute Brandon, and what surgery did the doctor do to mess up your voice?" Matt asks.

Brandon signs something.

"I have been a mute for four years now, and the surgery was trying to help prevent me from being Mute, before the surgery, I became a selective mute because I became harder for me to talk, it hurt, and it was just difficult to talk. They the doctor did this, and they are trying to give me my voice back." Matt states, telling me what Brandon signed.

"I am sorry Brandon, now Vikk can you tell me why you are Mute."

Vikk shakes his head and walks out of the room. I look at Brandon and he signs something before, giving Matt a piece of paper and signing something before running off.

"What was that about?" I ask

"He invited us over to his house, two. And Vikk's Mute story is really hard on him to share." Matt states before getting his things and walking out of the room.

I let out a sigh, I grabbed my things and followed Matt out of the room. The only thing on my mind was Vikk, the cute caramel colored boy.
