I walk from home and I get to the bus.

Girl: Hey, there is a new girl. What's your name?

Me: ...

Girl: Hey, what's your name?

Me: *puts finger to my lips*

Girl: I see... well, my name is Jillian, but people call me Jill for short. I can read ASL. Do you want to spell out your name?

Me: * signs "Hi! It's so nice to meet you! My name is Avery. You have a beautiful name! *

Jill: Oh wow! That's a really pretty name! Though I am very curious, if you aren't deaf, why do you not talk?

Me: * Um... some things can just change through time, you know? Maybe they will get better, maybe not. But I just hope things will change for the better *

Random girl: Hey, look! Jill is talking to a mute kid! Now Jill will get the disease and she will finally shut up!

Random dude: Cool! You will be catching something too! This fist!

Jill: Ethan, don't! And Emily, if you decide to touch him in any way, YOU will he the one who goes mute whenever I punch you in the throat so hard, you will never be able to speak again!

Me: * ... that was something *

Jill: Yeah, that can happen on a regular basis. You'll have to get used to making threats like that.

Me: * okay...? Why though? *

Jill: It's a private school you're going to. What would you expect?

Me: * Fair point *
