Gregory, a name all avoided and hid from. He never dated for real, never showed up in class and always got into fights

You were the complete opposite. Quiet, with a perfect attendence, never got into drama, but that wasn't all your differences. One of them, the most important one was, you were deaf. Everyone knew that, but to everyone's surprise, the one thing anybody would pick on, no one dared shame you for it

There was this new guy in school, a total asshole. One day, he stepped over the line, mocking you for your disability, which made you cry. And Gregory saw it

Next day, the boy showed up with a black eye and a public apology for you. He was nervously glancing at Gregory, who just observed in a corner, keeping his distance

After a few days, you felt a presence behind you as you were putting your things in your locker and turned around to meet Gregory's eyes. He stared down at you, his face still cold and emotionless as he took a step back and pushed a flower bouquet into your hands and you almost fell

He also placed a small box of your favorite chocolate candy in your hand, acting like he was getting rid of something, instead of giving you a gift

Than, he started sighing. His hands shook a little as he slowly signed out a sentence

"You're very pretty and I wanted to ask you-" his hands froze as he stood there for a few moments, before he scrambled and pulled out a sign language book guide and nervously looked through it, before hiding it in his pocket and finishing

"Out on a date" his hands stilled as he waited for your response
