Chapter 3

"Wow, Lukas. You didn't tell us you had a girlfriend!" Jay says before playfully socking Lukas in the arm. Lukas rubs his arm and rolls his eyes, "I didn't tell you because we all knew someone would get jealous." Lukas laughs then he and my brother look at me. "Yeah, because we ALL know Jesse has had a crush on you for years!" Jay starts laughing as my face turns red. Lukas starts laughing with Jay and his cheeks are turning pinkish and red. Jay smirk, and Lukas starts chewing on his lip; which is his nervous habit. I look away from Lukas and thats when I notice Lukas' girlfriend, staring me down and glaring at me. Before she could say anything to me, Lukas grabs her arm, "C'mon Jenny. Its time we gets to calculus." Lukas says. Jay looks at me and says, "I'm off to English. We'll see you at break, okay?" Jay holds out his fist and I fist bump him. 'And I'm off to PE' I think before walking off to the gym.

As I open the door to the gym, I could see everyone doing pushups. But as soon as the door shut, they all started staring at me. 'This is odd for the first day. Most classes would hand out papers or talk about the year...' I think then look up at the teacher, Mr. G. He is a tall black guy with a short beard, a muscular build, grey sweats, a white man tank top, a whistle and a blue baseball cap. "Everybody, this is our new student. Jessica Anderson." Mr. G starts talking and I look around the class. Normally teachers wouldn't introduce students on the first day but now I am seeing why he did. I am the only freshman in the class. The rest of the students are juniors and seniors. After the teacher spiel, Mr. G grabs my arm and takes me away from the rest of the students. He looks at me with caring eyes.

"So, Jessica—"
"..." I shake my head as he says my full name.
"Jesse?"
I nod.
"Your parents talked to me and told me about... y'know. Your arms and the fact your mute and all that so I just wanted to let you know, if you ever need a breather or just need a moment alone, just let me know." He smiles at me as I nod then heads off to the rest of the class.

Seeing as I left my gym uniform at home, I found it useless to try to do my pushups yet for some reason I tried to do them anyways. I manage to do five pushups before collapsing because of the pain in my arms. One person looks at me as I sit down and rub my wrists. He moves over to me and I get a good look at him. One brown eyes and one foggy blue one. He's probably half blind. He has fair skin, light brown hair and full on facial hair. He is most likely a senior. I eye him down, nervously then he sits down next to me. Something told me this dude is alright and probably won't hurt me. He looks at me before a smile starts to appear on his lips, "Hi, I'm Jack."
