(Stellas outfit)^

Soon enough it was Monday. The first day at Lakeview High, I was slightly nervous and excited at the though of going to a new school.

I get up and have a very quick shower. It was currently 6am and school started at 7:30 so I had an hour and a half to be ready. I went into my closet and picked out an outfit from the new clothes I bought this weekend. It was a white top with an image and some light wash skinny jeans along with my air forces.
Since I had time I diffused my hair so the curls were much more defined and applied some mascara and lipgloss.

The red light went of around my room and I went to go and open my door. My mum stood on the other side.

"Hi sweet are you nearly ready school starts in half an hour and it takes 15 minutes to get there" she signs.

"Yes actually I was just on my way down" I replied.

I made my way downstairs following my mum and grabbed an apple for my breakfast. I didn't want anything heavy because I was way to nervous to eat lots.

Cohen came into the kitchen and told me we were leaving. So I grabbed my bag and followed him out after saying bye to my mum and dad.

"Cohen do you know where you're going" I questioned signing whilst strapping my seat belt on.

"Of course mum showed me the way to go yesterday" he signed.

As we set of I looked out the window to see where we were going because unlike Cohen I didn't know.

Just as we saw the school sign showing us we have arrived Cohen tapped me on my shoulder making me turn around.
I gestured to him that I was listening.

"So Stella I know you had a hard time back in the uk but it might be different here and hopefully you make nice friends but just remember don't let anyone take advantage of you or walk all over you just because your deaf okay" he signed to me.
I know he knows that I'm not scared of telling someone what's right and wrong or standing up for myself because I have needed to do it a lot in the past. But I have had experience of people treating me like shit all because I'm deaf .

"Thank you Cohen but I know how to stand up for myself" I said to him.

"Oh I know you can stand up for your self trust me I've seen it and it's not a side I wish for anybody to be on" he signs laughing.

I can be a very kind and nice person but as soon as someone thinks that they can treat me like shit or talk to me like shit. Well let's just say it doesn't end good ... for them.

"Whatever Cohen lets just go in okay" I sign laughing at what he said and he just nods his head.

We get out the car and already people are looking at us. I don't see why people feel the need to look at us it's not like we're a famous celebrity although at this point in time I feel like one.

I spot Charlotte near the entrance of the door and she looks up at me and waves  me to come over.
I tell Cohen I'm going and he just tells me that if Someone says anything about me then I have to come and find him straight away. But I know how to handle people. So I make my way over to Charlotte.

"Hey Stella" she says slowly enough for me to read her lips.
"Hey" I say whilst signing.

"So I was thinking I could just show you to your classes as you don't know where they are "she says and it takes me a minute to make out what she said.

"Yes that would be nice but first I need to go to the office and get my schedule"I say and she nods leading the way.

As we walk in everyone's eyes instantly turned to us and it was really awkward but Charlotte just continued walking like it was a normal everyday thing. I saw a few people's lips moving and a some very weird glares.
