You never spoke to anyone. Not once, not ever. You were mute. Not one word came from your mouth, nor will one ever escape your cold, dead lips.

It was the end of the school day. You were at your locker, getting your stuff out to go home. Ethan walked up to you and smiled brightly. Which you hated.

"Hi! I'm Ethan. I've seen you around."

He sounded bubbly and happy. You didn't like that.
