From Friend To Mate novel Chapter 10

As he walked through the halls filled with huge students he again bumped into someone. This time he was more afraid than before because at that time he had Jason but now he was really on his own.

He slowly turned to see who he bumped into. It was a girl. She was the same size as him which shocked him as he was always thinner than most of the girls in the school making him look even snaller than them.

He tilted his head for a second observing her as she bent down. He didn't recognise her at all. He snapped out of his trance once he saw that she was picking up books that had fallen.

The second he noticed, he was by her side helping her pick up her belonggings.

"Sorry." Felix muttered passing all her books and papers to her. But he paused once he caught sight of a drawing which was hidden in her notebook. He took it out and observed it.

"W...Wow!" Felix shouted. The girls eyes went to his in suprise.

"These are really good." Felix said truthfully.

The drawings were. They were intricate designs with swirls and curves everywhere. This indeed was magic. Just the magic he needed.

It caught felix's attention immediately. He then heard the girl shuffling beside him as she took out a notebook.

She wrote down on it and felix immediately understood.

Im new here and I'm a selective mute. I assume you don't know sign language so I use this notebook to communicate. Thank you.

As Felix read the words a small smile graced his lips. He actually had an uncle which was mute and learnt sign language just for him.

You assume way to quick. Felix signed. What's your name?

The girls features lifted in suprise. Nobody in the school knew sign language so she always used the notebook yet nobody was ever willing to wait for her.

Rebecca. And you don't have to compliment my drawings to make me feel better. She signed back with a huge smile in her face.

Are you kidding they're amazing. What class do you have next? Felix felt a connection with her and felt that they could've had a beautiful relationship.

Rebecca simply slided her router to him as he scanned through it. His face brightened even further as he saw he had the same lesson as her.

We have the same lesson. Should we go together?

Of course. Rebecca signed back and they both stood up and began walking towards the class.

During their walk Felix signed, Can I give you a nickname?

What are you thinking. Normally people just call me becky. Rebecca said while shrugging her shoulders.

After the school day was done, Felix eventually separated ways with Rebecca on the way home.

They waved each other good bye and once again felix was all alone. He walked slowly to his home, basking in the sunlight. Until a car pulled up next to him.

At one look Felix could clearly tell that it belonged to Jason. He kept on walking not taking any mind to it. But the car then kept on following him at his slow pace and eventually Jason rolled his windows down. He stared at felix who payed him no mind

"Felix." He started.

He didn't really think about what he was going to say he just knew that they've been separated for too long and he couldn't take it.

"Please. Let me just talk to you." Jason said his voice cracking.

It sounded like he's been screaming at a wall for hours, for his throat to be that croaky and Felix noticed.

His mind filled with worry but he couldn't just let Jason saunter back into his life.

he just couldn't.

Felix didn't notice it but the car stopped following. Jason jumped out of the car and ran up towards the unsuspecting boy before wrapping his arms around him and embracing the smaller boy into his chest.
