You

That walk you took was the best one yet. Because that day you met someone. Not just anyone... Someone who was different not a bad difference, just one that made you wonder... Why?

You started walking around the park, that walk turning into a jog. You soon got tired... You make your way to a bench and sit down noticing the boy next to you. He was on his phone like most people these days.

He looked at you for a second and then looked at his phone... He never said anything... You being confused just ignore him and grab your phone.

You notice a notebook. You saw a name... You couldn't make out the full name since it was covered up by his hands.

'E'

That's all you could see...

Evan, Ethan, Elden, there was many possible names.

You decide to ask him about it.

"You like to write?" You ask.

He looked at you and nodded, he was biting his lip which was kinda cute...

"Nice."

You could see a small smile on his face. It made you smile a bit.

He turned off his phone moving his hands. And there it was... His name...

It was Ethan... The name that was neatly written across the notebook was Ethan...

"So your name it's Ethan right?" I ask.

He looks at you and flips the page.

He nods staring at the notebook. There was doodles. Nothing extremely good but nothing bad either, there was also writing.

Why doesn't he talk?

"I'm sorry if this offends you but, can you talk, or are you a nervous person...?" I ask.

He goes to a blank page in the notebook and write this one word.

'Mute'

Mute... He can't talk...

He holds his pencil in his hand tapping it on the page he had just flipped to.

"Oh." I say.

He looks at me, a sad smile on his face. He writes. I get a glimpse of the page.

'Ideas'

He was writing so much and so fast his handwriting was guaranteed to be sloppy.

He wrote very quickly. It surprised you. He must've had some good ideas. Or he was worried about losing them.

You smile at the boy. You got up causing him to look at you.

"I have to get going, so bye Ethan." You say.

He sadly smiled and nods. You knew he was sad that you had to leave. He went back to writing. Writing whatever he's thinking about.

It was about time for dinner and you had to get home. If not your boyfriend would be mad.

I pull out my phone.

6:43

It's later than I thought.

Oh no...

Ethan

"I have to get going, so bye Ethan." She says.

I nod. I really enjoyed her company. Nobody ever talked to me. And if they did they leave after I have to tell them I'm mute.

She could be different... Or she's trying to be nice...

She'll leave you soon... so this 'friendship' you want to have is useless...

But she seems different.

No she's talking to you out of pity.

I guess you're right...

That's more like it... Now remember, she'll never come back.

I know...

Good.

I didn't notice that I was crying... My mind does this to me a lot...

Crybaby...

Shut up...

I'm just telling the truth.

I was crying without a sound... Just because of my twisted mind...

And it's unfixable...

A/N

Well this is new. And I hope you all like it, I am trying to put in more effort and time into chapters. But sadly next year once I get into middle school (7th grade). I'll update less. But this year will have more updates luckily, but still not many because they still kinda strict! But next year will be hard. But I'll survive. And you will too because there are better authors than me on wattpad. And don't even try saying I'm your favorite. I kinda hate my writing. But at least unlike my first ever book I shouldn't have many or hopefully no grammar mistakes. Cause now I turned kinda into a grammar cop ish. I usually won't comment about it, but I make note of it. So if I make any mistakes I'll probably keep it and laugh about it so either way it's fine. Grammar mistakes or not, I'm fine.

Anyways bai!
