Missing my girls [OPEN] (FINISHED)

[Karashi Usaki]

Karashi frowned. She could definitely see why people wouldn’t want to hang out with him. His illness was the main reason, but she really didn’t think it was that big of a deal. She signed to him, her face twisted with the expression of confusion. That’s great that you hang out with your family. But why wouldn’t anyone want to hang out with you? You’re funny, energetic, and very sweet. If I were you, I’d consider my loss of hearing a gift rather than a burden or disability. She smiled at him as she led the way towards the very warm common room.

She signed to him again. That’s great that you spend a lot of time with your family. My father left my mother and I when I was little, so I never really got to know him. And my mother was always busy with work, so I never really got to spend time with my family. I’ve kind of been a loner for most of my life. She frowned. Her life was a sad one, one that she really didn’t talk about all that often. This was the first time that she had really opened up to someone, especially a stranger like Shane. This was new for her, which kind of surprised her. She hadn’t really expected to open up to someone upon meeting them the first day. There was something about this boy…

She giggled when he shook his head, causing his hair to fly in every direction. She signed to him. Well, I guess that’s a good thing. I would do that with my hair, but it’s too long and it might become tangled. That would be a mess trying to comb it all out. She frowned. Listen to her, talking about her hair as if he were a girl. She mentally scolded herself. She needed to stick to general things, and things that they both liked, not stupid things like her hair. She made sure that he was still walking with her, noticing that they were almost to the common room.

[Shane Williams]

Shane blushed brightly from her compliment. It's just the way of life I suppose, having a shortage of friends comes with the territory of having a handicap or a gift, but it just means that the friends you make are that much sweeter in the end. They will stay with you more than others. Shane frowned and maybe took a step too far but he didn't like his friends sad and his new friend was sad about her family. Stopping short he pulled her into a tight hug before backing up and signing frantically. Sorry, you needed a hug, no being sad. Your a very nice person and you will meet very nice people here. Those who do stand by you will be strong. I've met you and your very very nice and sweet. Shane gave a crooked smile and started walking again.

Your hair is very pretty. It must keep your neck very warm in this sort of weather. It's actually a good length for your face. Not everyone can pull off long hair, but you take good care of yours. Shane turned a little pink again silently laughing at his comment. Sorry again if that's too forward, I just think it looks good. I don't believe that all girls look god with long hair, or short hair, or every girl should wear heals, or that every guy needs to be buff, or people who are good at math should wear glasses, those are all stereotypes and I don't like those. People should be able to... Shane paused a moment to open the door for her and smiled glad for the heat. ... people should be able to dress or look how makes them most comfortable Shane hoped he hadn't made he nervous or uncomfortable, he was being pretty open and forward about his thoughts. Would that be ok with this girl, he really hoped they could become friends. He didn't really have an interest in anything more, with well anyone. He was here to focus on school and controlling things. Besides he was only 15, he had so much life in front of him.

[Karashi Usaki]

Karashi listened to him and nodded. What he was saying was actually true, and very good advice. She was glad that he was talking to her. Where had he been all her life? There had been plenty of times that she could have used his good advice in situations. She smiled at him. She wanted to say something, but she figured she would just let him talk. He seemed so eager to talk anyway, so she just let him do so. He seemed quite happy to do so, and she didn’t mind listening.

She blushed when he told her that her hair was very pretty and long. She didn’t understand why he was talking about her hair, but she didn’t mind. It wasn’t every day that she got complimented on any part of her body. In fact, she rarely got compliments at all. She really appreciated it. She signed to him. Thank you so much. I don’t get many compliments. She looked at him and walked in the door. She signed. Thank you for that. And I like your hoodie. Oh, here’s the common room. She gestured to the room which looked more like a bedroom than a place to study or hang out.

[Shane Williams]

Shane smiled and thanked her as I pointed to two rather comfortable looking chairs. It's not fair that compliments are so often with held. I just say the truth nothing more or less. Shane smiled again and sat back enjoying the warm room.

How have you enjoyed the classes here? Are there any really good ones that you have?



((so sorry it's so short, I really couldn't think of another topic to move them on to, my muse is being fussy))

[Karashi Usaki]

She was glad that he told her the truth. She knew that sometimes the truth could hurt, but she was used to it. She had been lied to, cheated on, etc. She was used to being deceived in so many ways. She had learned to accept it and move on, no matter how much it hurt her. She couldn’t let it bother her forever. She signed to him. I’m glad you think so. I’m used to being lied to and cheated on. It wasn’t uncommon in my old school.

She nodded when he gestured to the chairs, and started towards them, looking over her shoulder to make sure that he was following her. She was glad that she had met him. It seemed like any other person she said hi to didn’t want anything to do with her, so she felt like an outsider. She wondered if he felt the same way. She signed to him again while sitting on one of the chairs. I am enjoying my classes. My favorite has to be English. Despite the fact that I’m Japanese, English is really fun and I enjoy it. What about you?

Muse: Eh

[Shane Williams]

Shane frowned. I don't understand why people would want to lie or cheat on other people. It's neither nice nor a benefit to themselves. I'm sorry you've experienced that. Shane offered a supportive smile. She was such a nice person that he honestly could imagine why people would be mean to her. He guessed he was just too sheltered back home to experience to many bully's to really understand.

English huh, Shane's smile brightened with the motions of a chuckle. I think if you have a passion for languages then that makes a great deal of sense, you speak Japanese, sign language, and English. That's amazing. I understand that learning a new language is hard... or at least that's what I've been told. So that you know three is pretty cool.

I haven't started classes yet, I'm suppose to start Monday to give me a few days to adjust to the changes I suppose and get settled in. I'm excited to take math. My sister jokes that that is a language all it's own, but I like the solidity of it. 1+1 always equals 2, and so on.

[Karashi Usaki]

Karashi nodded at the boy. She took a seat, watching as he signed to her his opinion. She was beginning to like this boy. He was friendly, nice, very funny, cute, and he gave good advice. She was glad that she had met him. She didn’t care if he couldn’t talk. As long as she could sign to him, and he could sign back, then it would be fine. She wondered if she had any classes with him. She signed back to him, frowning. Yeah, but it’s alright. I’m used to it anyway.

She smiled at him. She was glad that he was so supportive of her. He seemed like a really good friend. She needed a good friend right now in all of the chaos of her settling into the school and a new routine. She nodded at his comment on her being interested in English. She smiled at him, and then signed. Thank you. I learned sign language back in Japan. We also had English classes every day, so that helped as well. It’s a shame that you can’t hear me, or I would talk to you in Japanese. She smiled, tilting her head in that cute way that she had.

She frowned. She had started classes this week. She then remembered that he had just come in a couple of days ago, so it would be proper for him to start classes next week. She frowned at him, and then signed. I’ve always hated Math. There’s always stereotypes about us Asians being smart. Well, considering I have ADD and hate math, that stereotype isn’t true. She looked at him and smiled.

[Shane Williams]

There isn't a person on this earth that isn't faced with stereotypes which is sad. People think because I can't hear or speak that I am stupid. I think it comes from the curse of 'strike me blind deaf and dumb' If your one they think you are all. I don't think that all Japanese are smart or good at math, they or rather you are just a normal person such as myself. I mean you probably are smarter than me simply because the schooling in Japan I am to believe is better than the schools here in America. Shane smiled, Sorry a bit of a rant there He offered a small shrug and hoped he hadn't offended her. He wasn't trying to lump or stereotype and he hoped she wouldn't take it that way.

Do you like the schooling better here or back in Japan? Shane was curious about the differences or similarities of the schools and he was just wanting her to keep talking and hopefully not be upset.

[Karashi Usaki]

Karashi smiled and listened to him rant. It was great not to have to be the one talking a mile a minute for once. She was usually drilled with a bunch of questions, so she had to answer them all, which would then get her ranting. She was happy with just listening for once. She leaned back in the chair, relaxing a little but still listening to him intently. She wanted to hear what he had to say, even if he did rant on about some stuff.

She nodded at some things he said, making sure that she heard every word he said. She didn’t want him to think that she was getting bored and was tuning him out. To her that was just rude, and rudeness brought dishonor to your family, even if her family had been split apart. She didn’t care. She wanted to keep things as close to home as possible, but she also wanted to be Americanized too. It was hard to be both at once. She signed to him when he asked his question.

Things are very different, but I kind of like it. I like the schooling equally. She hadn’t been to an American school long enough to tell a difference. She signed again. I haven’t been here long enough to compare the two. It’s going to be a while before I can tell you the answer to that question. So, do you like it here? She had given him another reason to rant. She sat back, preparing herself for what he was about to say, thinking it would be a while.

[Shane Williams]

Shane smile giving her some time to communicate while he stretched and massaged his hands lightly. They weren't sore or tired persay he just knew he had to be careful with them. They were very important to him after all. His hands were as important to him as an artists hands would be, although to different extents. Loosing his hands would just plain suck... no good.

Shane nodded and fought as a yawn tried to slip through before smiling sheepishly. I'm sorry I didn't sleep well last night He hoped she wouldn't think that he was bored with her... just suddenly tired, might have to do with the warm room. I can't say I've been here long enough to know any true difference. I feel like it's more crowded here because I only know you. I feel like it's busier here because I don't know the routines.

((OOC: Do you feel like this one's about done? Just curious))

[Karashi Usaki]

((Not really. I was hoping it would progress into a relationship.))

Karashi watched him massage his hands. She frowned, wondering if they were hurting him. She signed to him, her facial expression one of concern. Are you alright? I can do some signing for a while to give you a break if you want. She realized that she had been doing most of the listening, and that he had been doing most of the signing. He had a good reason for his hands to hurt. She just hoped they weren’t too bad to the point where if he tried to sign it would hurt immensely. She would feel guilty if that was the case.

Karashi smiled and shook her head, then signed. No, I don’t mind at all. In fact, I’ve been having trouble sleeping as well. I figured it was because I’m still getting used to the school. You know, all the sounds, the climate, etc. She smiled at him and then signed again. I feel like it’s empty here. Then again, that’s just my opinion. It won’t be the same since you and I come from different places. I like it here though. I like my teachers, my classes, my friends, etc. She smiled at him when she said the word friends, hoping that he would get the hint.

[Shane Williams]

Shane smiled. They are getting a little tired but I am still alright, however, I would love to hear more about you Shanes expression was one of encouragement and relaxation. Perhaps this school wouldn't be too bad after all. If he met more people like Karashi than it would be great.

I think because I know so little people this place is very empty compared to home, but at the same time there are so many people here that it is very crowded. I've never known so many people to go to the same school before. It's scary to say the very least.


Muse: meh
((Well friends would be just fine but additional meetings would be needed before we talked about a fuller relationship))

[Karashi Usaki]

((Yeah, I see what you mean. And thats completely fine.))

Karashi didn’t quite understand the comment he made about the school being filled with so many people, but she didn’t want to interrupt him. When she saw he was done then she started to sign. Where to begin? My past is not a bright one, but it’s not completely bad. I used to live with my mother after she and my father got divorced. She frowned. Talking about her parents brought up memories, bad memories, of them fighting and her crying in her room. It made her sad. She shook her head, trying to make the bad memories go away.

She smiled at him, trying to cover her sadness. She signed again. I never had any pets. My mother was very strict about that. Anyway, she was always shut in her room doing work, so I rarely got to see her. My father only came over for holidays and my birthday. That was the only time I got to see him. She stopped. She wasn’t really explaining the good parts to her past. In fact, now that she was remembering it, she couldn’t really remember any good aspects to her past. She frowned again. Maybe she shouldn’t tell him…
