Loving In Silence novel Chapter 2

"Which class do you have?". I ask, still talking slow.

He handed me his schedule and I saw he had history.

"Why don't we take you there". I said fast.

He looked at me confuse but nod as if he wasn't sure what I just said.

I looked at dale but he shrug and we walked off with Casey, maybe he was just slow in things.

Casey had biology with us. When we entered the class the teacher was already there, we allowed Casey to go up and introduce himself.

"Hi I'm Casey". He said to the teacher.

"Oh Casey! the special student welcome to my class".

What the heck does he mean special.

Casey nod and turn back to Dale and I. We sat at the front, well because Casey sat there and for some reason I wanted to sit with him.

"Something is wrong with the kid". Dale said, not whispering.

"Shh he can hear you dude". I whispered but Dale shook his head.

"That's the thing, he can't".

I slowly turn to Casey who was playing on his phone.

"Casey?". i said.

I gulp when he didn't even look at me but continued his little game, I turn back to Dale.

"He's just in his phone that's all". i said hoping it was true.

"Okay class let's begin". the teacher said.

I sighed, looking at Casey he didn't even heard what the teacher said until he looked up and saw the teacher writing on the board.

When class over and the bell rang for lunch I waited for Casey at the door, when he came he smiled at me.

"Casey, do... you ... want ... to... eat ... lunch ... with ... my ... friends ... and ... I?".

"Why talk so slow".

I raise both my eyebrows when he replied, he was hearing me so I didn't have to talk so slow for him to watch my lips... he's not deaf!!!wait... why am I so happy?

"So do you?".

I ask and he nod.

"Lunch in locker". He pointed down the hall.

He still talks weird though.

We walked to his locker and he got his lunch, we went into the cafeteria where I left him with Dale to go buy my lunch. When I came back our table was full with our friends and Casey looked a little uncomfortable. I sat between him and Dale who whispered in my ears.

"Your boyfriend is a little uncomfortable with so many people".

I turned and glared at him, he just shrug.

"Casey?" I said, he didn't look at me but continued to play with his watch.

I touch him and he jump, looking at me with a small smile that cause me to smile.

"You better bring something". She huff and walked past me with the pie. I looked around and saw an apple on the counter, I shrug and took it up. Hurrying after my mom. I met her at the door of the new neighbors. Then she rang the door bell and waited for someone to answer. The door was pulled and a lady came in view smiling, she looked around my mom's age, shoulder length black hair, brown eyes and a round face. She almost look like Casey only she's a woman.

"Hi I'm Sidney and this is my son Malik, welcome to the neighbor hood". My mom handed her the pie.

"Thank you so much Sidney, I'm Alisha, nice to meet you two".

"You too Sidney". I said and put the apple on top of the pie,

My mom rolled her eyes and I shrug while Sidney laugh.

"Thank you Malik, please come on in". Sidney step aside and we went in. Sitting in the living room.

"Mommy, no apples!" A very familiar voice said from behind us in the kitchen.

Sidney smile and took up the apple "Well thanks again for the apple Malik ".

"No problem". i smile

Just then a pouting Casey walked in, his pout disappeared and left his mouth open when he saw me. Now I know why Sidney look a lot like Casey, she's her mother. He smile before going to the apple his mom was holding out.

"This is my son Casey". Sidney put her hand on his back.

"Hi Casey". my mom said and Casey waved.

"Hi Mawik".

"You already met Casey?" Sidney ask and I nod.

Then Casey start doing weird things with his hand to his mother then she did it back... wait did he just call me Mawik 

"Casey signs when he can't say a full long sentence but thanks for being friends with Casey, he say he was really nervous until you came". Sidney smile.
