Yeah let's just get to the story alright.

-----------------------------------

I ate my breakfast well watching TV, I was getting ready to go to school. Half of my food was on the table after my chair was shoved. I was pretty much ready to go unlike everyone else.

But I haven't told you who I am yet have I?

My name's Roxanne Artuso, most people call me Roxie for short, I'm currently seventeen-years-old and in high school.

Across from me was my younger brother Dave Luo, he's fifteen-years-old and he's in high school too.

Then my sleeping older brother Ari Luo he's older than me by two months, he's in high school of course.

We live in Brightton city the school's here in the city too. They tell me it's only thirty minutes away from here by car.

I watched Mrs. Luo trying to get Ari out of bed. Mr. Luo was running around to get ready to go... he woke up late so he need to leave right away to get to work on time.

"Ari Get up!" She yelled at the door to his room banging her fist against it.

I noticed that Mr.Luo was trying to leave without pants on I snickered then tapped Dave on the sholder and pointed to his father, he chuckled with me.

"Dad!" he sighed with a grin.

"What is it?" he asked.

"Your pants, it's not casual Friday."

He looked down and saw that he wasn't wearing any pants and ran off to get them.

Ari got out of his room he was half asleep, he sat at the table, he wasn't dressed yet.

"Roxanne are you getting used to things?" Mrs.Luo asked. I nodded my head yes to her question. "Are you ready for your first day at school?" she questioned.

"Kinda I'm a little nervious. I've never been to real school before," I signed.
"It's alright you'll be fine right boys?!" She huffed with sharpness in her voice directed towards her sons.

"Yes mom!" They answered sounding half asleep. You probably could tell by now but I'm not related to them, and don't speak to them. They adopted me a few days ago and today is my first day of real school.

I thought it was odd but happy that I was out of the orphanage. My parents died when I was young so I was sent to the place a long time ago. I don't like to talk so when someone asks me a question that's not, yes and no I normally use sign language, to answered the question they asked me.

...

Ari can drive, well so can I but he has a car and I don't so he's driving us to school. The ride was quiet I spent most of that time looking out the window or at my feet.

When we got to school Dave left us to see his friends having Ari to take me around the school.

"Look here Roxie. I'm going to my friends so find your way around without me," He huffed leaving me out there alone.

I went to the office to get my school schedule.

"Miss? What are you here for?" The secretary asked me.

"I'm here to get my schedule, I'm new here. My names Roxanne Artuso," I signed. But it seem he didn't understand what I was doing.

I let out a sigh pulled out a pad of paper wrote what I signed adding. "I don't really talk I was using sign language." Then showed it to him.

He handed me the schedule I left and walked around to find my first class.

I found the class but I wasn't paying attion of the hall, I ran into something fell back and yelpped.

"Hey!" Someone huffed it sounded like a guy I looked up at him. He offered his hand to help me up, I took the hand and he pulled me up from the ground.

"Are you alright?" he asked I nodded and bowed. "I'm sorry about that. I didn't mean to run into you. I'm sorry, goodbye," I signed then started to walk away.

"Does anyone know what that ment?" he asked the group of friends. "Yeah it's sign language. What she said pertty much was she was sorry about running into you, and said good-bye," she told him. I turned around quickly.

"You know sign language?! Not to many people do."

"Yeah, my parents wanted me to learn it and maybe become a translator," She told me.

"What did she say?" they asked.

"She was surprised that I knew sign language, that's all."

"Cool! My name's Roxanne, but you can call me Roxie of you want. I'm new to school."

"What did she say?"

"She said her name's Roxanne. She said she's new to school but I think she meant new to the school... hen?"
"No I meant new to school!"

"What do you mean?" she signed.

"Don't tell them this but I lived in a orphanage for a long time. So this is the first time at school," I signed she nodded.

"I was wrong she said that she was never at school before it's her first time. She didn't say why," she told them.

"Well nice to meet you," he told me. I bowed and waved going into the classroom.
