Chapter 7
I was in my class, thinking about how words never change. They always hurt, even if you shrug it off, like I just did. I pretend it doesn’t hurt, but the words they say stay with me forever.. It’ll never change..
Class was boring. All I could think about was Daren, though that didn’t brighten up my spirits any. Even if I was with him, I was still alone in the world. It would never change. Perhaps in some part of my mind, I didn’t want it to change. Life was so simple. I was a youngster, begging to be set free from this daily life I had led. Though no one cared. I wasn’t even sure if Daren really cared about me.. That hurt me, the deepest hurt possible.. This feeling, once of love, was now of confusion, turning into hatred.. It tore at my heart, making me want to scream out the deaf world that lied before me. This, was a world that I created.
I wanted friends, and someone to love, but the truth was, I was already gone away. It happened that morning…
I remember getting ready for school that morning. Sarah and Ryan were also getting ready. The phones kept ringing, and the calls from random people wouldn’t stop. Perhaps that’s the reason why I slowly came to have different thoughts. Sure, I was your average 14 year old, but something changed. I wasn’t alone anymore. It wasn’t the fact that I met Daren. I had, changed somehow. Perhaps life wasn’t as boring as I had made it seem. The time had come to go to the bus stop, so as usual, I left with Sarah and Ryan.
‘Kyle, you seem different.’ Sarah said to me.
‘How do you mean?’ I asked.
‘I don’t know. Something just seems different about you,’ she said with a smile.
‘Oh,’ I said. ‘I don’t think I’ve changed too much,’ I said.
‘I think you have. You’re more open now.’
‘Hmm.’ I said, thinking to myself.
At that moment, I thought to myself. Had I really changed? Was this a good thing? Or was it a bad thing? Well regardless, perhaps I truly was happy. I thought about it, and it seemed like a good feeling. I smiled as the three of us walked to the bus stop.
When we got there, Daren walked up to me, like he was waiting for me. He \\kissed me again. I was open to the thought, so I kissed him back. We talked for a few minutes while we waited for the bus to come.
‘You look good this morning.’ He said to me.
‘Thanks. So do you.’ I said, smiling.
‘Thanks,’ he said taking my hand. ‘So I was thinking. Would you like to come to my house tonight? My parents will be there, so you can meet them if you want to.’
I thought about it. It didn’t seem that bad of an offer, so I accepted. ‘Sure. I’d like that.’
‘Cool.’ Daren said, smiling at me. I blushed and squeezed his hand in happiness.
‘You know,’ Ryan said, ‘The kid’s changed.’
Sarah agreed. ‘He sure has. I’m glad for him. He’s happier.’
‘Yeah. I’m glad. He’s a good kid.’
‘Yes he is.’ Sarah smiled at Ryan.
‘Okay you guys. Let’s get going.’
The bus had come, so the four of us got on together. Things were looking happier already.
21.
Love who you want to.
