It was a normal day, me being spoiled, a rotten girl waking up just to go to school because on the first day of this new semester, everyone should know what a cool classmate my class is going to have.

At school, without having anything for breakfast. I reached there and in the corridor I was running and giving high-fives to my friends. Then I felt like time stopping on its own, when I saw her.

I didn't realize I was staring at her, but it was good she didn't notice. Otherwise, she would think of me as some kind of creep. But not looking at was like a crime. I even wanted to meet to and talk to her face to face, but I was interpreted by nosy, so called handsome and full of attitude, none other than Ryan.

Ryan is my father's best friend's son. He acts like he is the boss in the school, but in front of his father, he acts like an angel fell from heaven. He is the only child in his house, so he is apple of the eyes of his parents.

As I was disgusted by seeing him. Then suddenly, bell rung, and to be honest, for the first time, I was happy that it rang.

I sat at my desk as usual at the back because we all know backbenchers belong to the back of the class. The teacher greeted us, and then she introduced us to a new transferred student. The student was none other than her.

She told us she is deaf, but she is so incredibly intelligent that she got 299/300 in our entrance exam. I was surprised cause our topper even got half of her because of how tough it is.

The teacher told us her name is Elena. I was surprised because my name is Emily, and we both have E in the beginning. Then the teacher made her sit in front of my desk. I was happy and sad also because next to her was Ryan.

I was like, why did God do this to me. The classes were going on, and I was looking at her. Even though she couldn't hear, she was paying attention as if she was hearing, and when the teacher asked her to write the answer, she wrote the correct answer every time. I was shocked.

At recess, I reached out to her. Then I started talking, and she gave me a weird look. Then, I realized my mistake and immediately apologized. She laughed, and I was mesmerized by her look. Then she snapped her fingers, and I came back to my senses.

Then I took my bag and quickly teared a page, and I wrote, " Hello, My name is Emily." and showed the paper to her. And then she read and wrote," Hi, my name is Elena, and nice to meet you."

Then we communicated with each other like this, and then suddenly I felt bored with the way of our conversation. So I wrote whether she could teach me sign language so we could have better conversation, and she responded yes.

Then the recess was over the I wrote apologize to her for disturbing her and thanked her for her time to me . After school was over, I went to a book shop for the first time and brought a book that teaches sign language, and at home, I practiced it . I was surprised by myself because I was first time this serious to learn something.

My alarm was ringing, and I was still sleeping until my personal maid woke me up, and I realized I was almost going to be late for school and that I was sleeping on my desk. Then I remembered that yesterday I slept while studying sign language.

I took my bag and also kept that book in my bag as well. At school, I went straight to my class, and I greeted Elena by doing it in sign language. And I did it wrong, so she came close to me and touched my hand, corrected it. And when she touched, it felt like my heart skipped beat.

Then she asked me something in the sign language, but I didn't get it, and I knew she could see it in my face. Then she grabbed my hand and dragged me to my desk, and then she took a plane page out of her bag, and then she wrote," How did you learn that?." And I took out that book out of my bag and showed it to her. Then she wrote again on that page that I learned the sign correctly, but the placement was wrong of the hands, and then she added that let learn it correctly at lunchtime, and I agreed.

 Then the bell rang, and I hated that it did. I wanted to talk more to her. And I don't know why, but I kept staring at hand, which she touched and grabbed. Surprisingly, I was smiling while staring at it.

 At lunchtime, She came to me with the same page that we were using in today's morning, and she wrote," Shall we start?" And I wrote the suggestion of eating lunch first. And she agreed. Then I took my lunch out, and then I asked her on the paper where her lunch was, and she replied on the paper that she hadn't brought the lunch. Then I fed a bit to her of my lunch, and she liked the lunch, and I could see it in her face. Then I gave the whole lunch for her by writing on the paper. This is the reward for being my teacher. Don't say no to lunch. And went out of the class to roam around the corridor for a while.

As I was moving, my friends taped my shoulder, and I turned around to them. Then they started asking me tons of questions like why I have changed, what about the trouble we used to do, why we are not doing the pranking, having fun and roasting now, etc. I replied to them by saying, "Don't know why, but meeting her made so calm that I don't like to do these things anymore even though they were harmless."

Then, the nightmare Ryan came up to us, and we were looking at him with a disgusting face. We hated him because he used to bully others, pull mean pranks,was Heartbreaker, and a playboy.

He came up to me and starts saying trash things that I heard it from one ear and let it out from others until he said that I am a bad girl because of a reason I know it, those words made me sad from inside, but I was tough from outside, so I ignored it like I never heard it.

The school bell rang, and I was happy that it did. Then I went back to my class and sat on my seat. Then I saw her and I forgot everything.

Then I was going back to my house and while walking I had the flashback of time when Ryan was my best friend.

Then the bad memories of my life started hitting. The day when he asked me to steal the important paper from my dad's office. I don't know how he manipulated me to do this with the lie that it was for all good. And because of my actions, my dad had to face so much damage, and when he asked why and then, if I gave my answer. He didn't believe me and told me I was a liar and called me **M***onster*. He was so blinded by his trust for his friend and his son that he forgot to believe in me for once. That night, I ran out of my house to Ryan and asked him, "Why did you do that ?" And he replied by saying," What a great fool you are ?, how could you do all of this without thinking twice ? , you are nothing but a bad girl and worst daughter in this world. "

As I reached my house I took a deep breath and went inside. At night took out the book and the papers of which she and I had conversations and that took it from her when she was about to throw them away . I stare at it for a while then started learning sign language and when I was done I used those pages as the book mark.

It's been a month ever since she came into my life. I am now great at my academics, and I have learned sign language, too. I thought I should give her a “Thank You” treat. Furthermore, I checked my purse and my piggyback to check whether I have enough money to pay the restaurant food. Thank God, I have enough money to pay. After this, I slept peacefully.

In the morning, I woke up early and took my money with me.

As soon as I entered my class , I asked by using sign language Elena if she was free after school. She calmly shocked her head to refuse to go see her , not why I blushed, and I felt the same feeling as before in my heart .

As I was looking at her, I quickly came to my senses when I noticed her bruises on her legs, cheek, ears, fingers, and hands. I asked her, and she said she fell from the stairs badly by using her hands. And I knew she lied.

Then the bell rang, and we sat on our benches. When I sat, I made up my mind to follow her to learn the truth.

When the school was over, the first thing I did was to call my boss that I was not coming to work today. Then I started following her. And we finally reached her home. It was a smelly place that anyone could imagine. The house was way dirtier than my school toilets.

Elena went inside, and I stayed outside, after like 2 seconds, I heard a man screaming angrily, asking for money, and breaking off glass. I quickly went inside to see a bottle of alcohol broken, shattered into tiny pieces, and some pieces gave cuts to Elena. I quickly ran to her and hugged her tightly. The man asked me many questions like, "Who am I?"," How I am here?" etc. Instead of answering his questions, I asked him that who is he to her and what does he wanted. He turned out to be her biological father, and he kept saying he wanted money. Then I quickly threw the money I had in my pocket to him.

Then I took her hand and ran away as fast as we could. We didn't t know where we were going, but we were just going . Then, after some time, we both got tired and took a bit of rest by sitting on a park bench.

We looked at each other and laughed. I didn't ask questions because the day was already heavy for her. After some minutes, she said thanked me with her hand cutely. I asked her why she lives with him by using sign language. She replied by telling me her life story so innocently and cutely.

Turned out her father used to beat her mother too, and one day, he beat her so brutally that she had lost her life. Elena was in the closet because her mother locked her in to save her. Tragically, since that day, Elena lost her sense of hearing.

I was sad for her. Then I took her hand and took her to my house. I told her from now on that she will live with me. She refused and asked too many questions like what my parents would say. I told her my parents love guests and helping others in need. It was obvious I lied, but she didn't notice. The truth was my father hadn't cared about me since that day, and I lost my mother the day I was born. Maybe that's why Father hated me from the beginning. I know he is keeping me alive either to marry me off for a business partnership or make me be in his place one day after him.

Days passed by. She has new friends now,even Ryan was her friend. I didn't try to stop her and didn't warn her because surprisingly he was good to her.She says it's because of me, but true is I am not.And I realized I fell in love with her.

One day, she told me something that she had loved Ryan for a long time, and she also confessed to him, and now she is her girlfriend. I asked why she hadn't told me, and she said it always slipped off my mind, and we were busy with the exam, so she didn't want to disturb me.

I was sad to realize I lost again but didn't show to her.
