"Jordyn Maria Miller what did I tell you about walking in my office like you don't have any damn sense." She yells throwing her pen at me.
"Ow. Mommy that hurt." I say rubbing my head where it hit me.
"Aw I'm sorry hunny. Wassup tho." She says kissing my head as she got up to grab the pen.
"Ms.Layce kicked me out her class again." I say taking a seat in front of her desk as she sat back down.
"I'm so tired of her. Its Friday and she still kicking kids out." She says sitting back in her chair taking a sip of her coffee.
"I swear this is her fif-" I say before getting interrupted by a knock at her door.
"Come in" She says in her sweetest voice while slightly rolling her eyes.
"Hi, I'm Lalia McLaur. I called you about my daughter a couple days ago." A lady says walking into the room with 3 kids following her. A girl that looked about my age or younger and 2 little boys.
"Oh yes. You called about Lani." She says looking at a note she made.
"Yes this is Lani" She said slightly grabbing the oldest girl from behind her.

This might be a good time to introduce myself. I'm Jordyn Miller. I'm a Junior at Mack Miller High School. My mom is the principal and founder. I'm captin of the the varsity basketball team and softball team. I don't really have friends because I'm not much of a people person. I came into this school with no friends and I plan on keeping it that way. I'm gay and honestly I don't care for labels. At the end of the day she has a vagina and so do I so its all the same.
"Jordyn how about you give Lani a tour of the school." My mom says giving me a warm smile.
"Sure momma, come on lil bit" I say nodding towards Lani.
I walked back through the double doors leading to the office and into the hallway.
"Okay Lani. Theres not much you need to know but, not to mess with or talk to anyone who doesn't adress you and you'll be fine I guess. Understand? " I say after a couple seconds of silence.
No Response.
"Okay. Well do you have any questions? " I say again.
No Response.
"I guess thats a no. How about you tell me what your second hour is so I can show " I say again getting slightly irritated.
No Response.
"Damn. Did ya momma teach you to be this rude. " I say before turning around to see her writing on a yellow dry erase board.
Lani Fuller. My second hour is spanish.
Read the board.
"Okay, you could've just said that" I say confused.
"But here's the room. Her names Ms.Lansing." I say realizing we'd made it there.
Thank You.
"No problem lil bit" I say after reading the board.
I then made my way back to my moms office but, I couldn't get Lani off my mind it was so weird. It's something about her thats odd.
--Lani--
I took a second to adjust myself before walking into the class.
"You've got this Lani. Just go in get the stuff you need from the teacher and sit." I think to myself before opening the door.
Luckily the class was empty so I went straight to her desk in the back.
"Hello young lady. How may I help you." She asks looking up from her work.
Hi I'm Lani. I'm new to the school.
"Oh yes I was waiting on you. You can take any seat without a name on it and I'll get your work book from the back." She says going into the closet in the back.
I looked at all the desks in the back until I noticed one between a girl named Brook and Jordyn. Honestly I don't like her. Mostly because of how rude she is. She didn't even bother to ask why I wouldn't talk before just assuming i was rude.
"Here you go little lady." She says returning with the book and a folder of papers.
"This is the work from this semester and the first semester. You'll have until we enter the grades for this semester to turn them all in. I'll be pairing you with a tutor to help you with anything you need help with. You'll need to bring the book to class everyday. And you mother told me about your hearing so as far as oral presentations and test your's will be replaced with extra credit. But if you don't mind me asking how exactly did you become mute?" She says showing me everything as she spoke.
Foster Mother. But its kinda a sensitive topic.
"Oh thats okay sweetie. You can start on your work today in class but I'll need the all about me by the end of the hour." She say returning to the desk as kids slowly started to fill the room.
I went to the back of the folder and pulled out the sheet. I pulled out my phone,plugged in my head phones, went to apple music and played all the songs on shuffle.
I looked at the sheet examining the instructions. It was basically me just writing a paragraph about myself.
"My name is Lani Nicole Fuller. I'm 16 years old. My favorite color is yellow. I run track and I enjoy drawing. My birthday is February 25, 2001. I became mute at the age of 6.I have 2 younger twin brothers, King and Kion are 9. We've lived with the McLaur's since the twins were first born." I wrote on the paper.
I was about to get up to turn my paper in until i felt a tap on my shoulder. I looked up to see Jordyn hovering over me.
"Aye lil bit. If you dont mind me asking whats your next hour." She asked taking a seat next to me.
"Social Studies" I typed on my notes.
"Why you alaway writing and typing shit. Damn what the fuck is so hard about talking. What you cant speak or some shit.Did ya bum ass mama never teach you some manners or social skills." She said when I turned the phone her way.
"My mother died when I was 6, and actually I can't talk. I'm mute." I wrote on the yellow dry erase board before sitting it on her desk and walking out with tears daring to spill from my eyes.
"Excuse me Ms. Fuller but where do you think you're going." Was all I heard from Ms.Lansing as I left the room.
Its only my first day and I'm already dreading the fact I have 4 more and lunch.
