Summer is my favorite season

Summers second year of highschool is coming to an end. There is only one more month left of school. Summer hasn’t made any friends this year, why you ask ? Because summer hasn’t spoken a word since she was 7. She isn’t even entirely sure she can speak, she can read and write but you’ll never hear her. Summer is heading to school. She’s sitting in the from of the bus like usual when all of the sudden this girl, Brooklyn, sits next to her. It’s Brooklyn’s first day at this school, she just transferred. Brooklyn is a kind hearted nice girl that wants to be friends with everyone, so naturally she turned to talk to summer. “Hi! What’s your name ? My name’s Brooklyn, it’s nice to meet you. Do you wanna be friends maybe ?” Brooklyn spoke a million miles a minute, summer barely had time to process it. Summer of course didn’t respond, she just shook her head yes. Brooklyn is a bit confused when summer doesn’t respond so she ask again “what’s your name?”. Summer looks anxious, fidgeting with her thumbs. She grabs her phone and goes to the notes app, she types out “my name is summer”. It’s takes Brooklyn a little bit to respond as she is confused why the girl responded through text. “Oh that’s cool! I love summer, it’s probably my favorite season because I just can’t stand the cold, how about you? What’s your favorite season?” Brooklyn says excitingly. Summer starts typing “my favorite is winter” Brooklyn laughs while reading it and responds “that’s kind of ironic that your name is the exact opposite of winter” summer smiles, her face turns a little red. Nobody’s ever tried to have a conversation with her before, let alone laugh at something she said. Brooklyn smiles when she sees that summer is smiling, she says “what’s your schedule? Maybe we will have classes together!”. Summer looks anxious upon hearing that question, as it requires a long reply. She grabs her phone and types at lightning speed, she’s worried Brooklyn might lose interest in the conversation if she takes to long. Brooklyn notices summer typing super fast and looking nervous, so she says “hey we’ve got time, you don’t gotta rush, I’m a very patient person” Brooklyn smiles at summer. Summer starts to type slower and after about 15 seconds she shows Brooklyn her phone, Brooklyn looks over it and has the hugest Smile on her face, then she looks back at summer. Summer tilts her head, as to ask why Brooklyn’s so excited. Brooklyn says “we literally have every class together! This is gonna be so amazing!”. Summer turns bright red. Nobody has ever been excited to be around her before, she smiles at Brooklyn. The bus comes to a stop at the school and the girls get off. They start walking in the hallway then the one minute bell rings, Brooklyn grabs summers hand and they run to class. Summers eyes aren’t on where she’s going, her eyes are on their hands. When the girls get to first period Brooklyn sits next to summer, while the teacher is teaching a lesson to the class Brooklyn slides a note to summer. The note reads “wanna play Ticktacktoe?” Summer writes back “sure”. The girls play ticktacktoe on the peice of paper for a little bit. Summer wins 4 times in a row then Brooklyn writes on the paper “you obviously cheated” summer writes back “you can’t cheat in ticktacktoe :)” Brooklyn and summer are both smiling at each other. Summer is filled with happiness, she’s never had a friend before. Nobody usually wants to talk to the mute girl. The school day goes on and it’s the same thing in every class, Brooklyn sits next to summer, they pass notes all class, and just enjoy each other’s company. The school day ends and they walk to the bus holding hands. The whole time they are walking summers eyes aren’t glued to their hands. When the girls get onto the bus Brooklyn says, “that was a really great first day! Usually on the first days I’m lonely cause I have no friends, I’m so lucky I met you! You’re really nice and fun to talk to!”. Summer is in shock hearing the girls kind words, she just looks at Brooklyn, her face getting redder and redder the more she thinks about what was just said to her. Brooklyns notices that summer isn’t even reaching for her phone and she looks away nervously then says “sorry, was that to strong?”. Summer grabs her phone and types at lightning speed then shows it to Brooklyn it says “no, not at all! I’m really glad we met to!” Brooklyn gets red and smiles, then she asks “I know we just met and stuff but could I come over to your house? I don’t understand the assignment Mrs.miller gave us, I was wondering if you could help me?”. Summer tries to hide her excitement, she types out “of course you can come over! I’ll explain the assignment to you” Brooklyn replies “great! Also you can call my Brook, that’s what my friends call me” summer smiles and types “okay Brook! :)” the bus comes to a stop and summer stands up, Brook follows and they get off the bus. The girls are walking to summers house when Brook ask summer “do you have any nickname that you go by?” Summer types out “No” Brooklyn thinks for a second then says “could I give you one?” Summer types “a nickname?” Brook responds, “yeah a nickname. If that’s alright ?”. Summer hides her head and Brook smiles, she thinks for a minute then says “I’m gonna have to think about it, I want it to be perfect and match you. I’ll come up with something by tomorrow!”. Summer smiles at Brook and nodes, when they get to summers house the girls are greeted by her parents, summers mom ask “who is this summer?” Summer types out “a friend!” Summers mom smiles ear to ear and responds “a friend?!? Oh that’s lovely dear! She can stay and come over whoever as long as she wants!”. Summers mom shakes brooks hand and the Girls head upstairs as soon as the door to summers room closes Brook laughs and says “wow your parents were really excited I was here” summer rolls her eyes.  Summer pulls out her phone to respond, she types “their just excited cause you’re my first real friend”. Brook reads it, feeling a little sad she responds “really? That’s weird cause you’re pretty fun to talk to”. Summers whole face turns red, nobody’s said such kind things to her before. Brook looks nervous and said “I have a bit of a confession to make” summer tilts her head, Brook responds “I kind of, already turned in Mrs millers assignment. I just wanted an excuse to hangout” summer is flustered, she isn’t used to this she types out on her phone “well what will we do then?”. Brook thinks for a second then says “well you have a tv, does it work?” Summer nodes her head yes Brook responds “okay then let’s watch a movie, is it okay that I lay in your bed? I know my clothes aren’t very clean”. Summer walks past brook and goes over to her dresser, she bends over and looks through her clothes and finds some comfy pants and a cute pink shirt, she grabs the outfit and hands it to Brook. Brook looks at the cloths and says “you want me to change into these ?” Summer nodes. Brook goes into summers bathroom and while she’s changing in the bathroom summer is changing in her room, when Brook gets out the bathroom she is in the outfit summer picked out, and summer is in her pajamas. Brook says “alright then, what movie should we watch!” Summer shrugs and points at Brook. Brook isn’t sure what the point means so she guesses “you want me to pick 

?” Summer nodes her head, Brook responds “alright then let’s watch, yes day. Have you seen it?” Summer shakes her head no, “oh wow! Really you haven’t seen it?! You’ll love it! It’s so funny!” Brooklyn says enthusiastically. Summer smiles and gets into her bed than pats next to her, signaling for Brook to come sit. Brook lays next to summer and puts on the movie, at first the girls were sitting up, but as time goes on they gradually start to lay down. The two girls are very close, not touching but close. Summer yawns and Brooklyn says “you tired? I can go if you want to take a nap”, summer, not having her phone on the bed with her can’t respond. Brook assumes that summer is tired and wants to nap so she starts to get up, before she can fully stand up summer grabs around brooks waist and pulls her back into the bed. Brooklyns face is red as a tomato, she wasn’t expecting that. Brooklyn looks back over at summer and summer points to her phone on the nightstand. Brook grabs summers phone and hands it to her. Summer goes to the notes app and types “don’t go” then she turns the phone to Brook, Brooklyn responds “alright I’ll stay, I myself am getting tired tho. It’s okay if not, but I usually take a nap after school, could I nap here ? OH! we could nap together!” Brooklyn says nervously then excitedly. Summer gets red at the thought of Brooklyn sleeping in her bed but she nodes her head yes. Brook lays down and faces summer, she closes her eyes and falls asleep within minutes. The movie isn’t over and is playing in the background, summer can’t focus on it tho. The only thing summer is focusing on now, is Brooks face. Summer decided to lay down with Brook and she falls asleep with her. Both the girls are In heavy sleep, nothing can wake them, before you know it, it’s 5pm and the girls are still sleeping. It isn’t till about 5:30 that the girls wake up. Summer wakes up first and nudges brooks shoulder to wake her up. Brook wakes up and realizes where she is, she says in a panicked tone “what time is it?” Summer grabs her phone and shows the time to Brook, Brook responds “shit! My mom gets home at 6, I have to go, sorry!” Brook runs out of summers bedroom, but then she heads back and says “sorry forgot my clothes”. Brook goes into the bathroom and changes back into her school clothes, she grabs her backpack then leaves the room. She comes back again just to says bye to summer “bye summer, can’t wait to see you tomorrow!” Brook smiles then leaves for good. Summer is smiling ear to ear, she can’t remember the last time anyone’s been excited to see her. Usually when people have to sit next to her or be partners with her they are disappointed. Brooklyn tho, Brooklyn enjoys being with summer. Summer gets out of bed, still all smiley, and she goes into her bathroom to shower. As she’s showered she’s thinking about Brooklyn. Then a terrible thought crosses her mind, “what if Brook is just playing with me, and doesn’t mean any of it?”. That types of thing has happened to summer before, so it wouldn’t be that crazy. Summer worries about that but tries to just not think about it, or else that will drive her crazy. After summer is done showering she changes into her pajamas and tries to go to sleep. She lays in her bed for about and hour with her eyes closed, but she can’t sleep. She wants to sleep so that it can be time for school, time to see Brooklyn again. Summer eventually falls asleep.
