Josiah sat on his bed reading a book he had recently bought.He didn't read often unless he found a book that caught his eye. And if he liked it he would tend to read that book over and over until it was dog eared. With a sigh he put the book away on his shelf. There where very few books there. But what books that where they you could tell they had bean read several times and looked like they would fall apart. Only one looked brad new and that was the one he set down.
He took a quick shower and got dressed, it was Saturday so there where no classes today. Josiah wasn't sure how he would spend his day yet. As he looked around his room there was a pile of dirty clothes in the corner. Than on his drawer where where a pile of joke books and items like a hand buzzer a fart balloon and a bunch of other stuff.

Justin woke up groggily and thought about going back to bed. However, he wasn’t as fortunate, for as soon his head met the pillow his alarm rang. He silently groaned and stood up, rubbing sleep dust from his eyes and yawning. He went to the sink and washed his face. Next, he brushed his teeth and got changed into a dark green t-shirt and jeans. Trainers and socks were then added.
So much to unpack still! God, I should have done it last night thought Justin as he prepared the leftover luggage. Once everything was satisfactory Justin silently sighed and thought about meeting some of the other students. So, with that in mutant the disabled mutant grabbed his brown bag full of laminated card phrases and walked out the door, closing it in the process. He walked down the corridor, seeing a lot of closed doors. He supposed that most students hated getting up on Saturdays. At this thought Justin silently chuckled. He then saw an open door and poked his head inside. He knocked.

Josiah walked over to his dresser and picked up his oldest joke book. His parents had given it to him when he was twelve. That was a year before his father had bean killed in that terrible car wreck. He wondered how his father would have reacted if he had lived to see his only son turn into a freak. He couldn't touch anyone's skin which totally sucked.
Just as he was about to grab his towel and head down to the pool he heard a knock on his door. He was surprised he had not felt the presence of someone coming towards him. Turning around he saw a guy he had never seen before standing in his door way. "What can I do for you? I was just getting ready to head down stairs for my morning swim." He was to tired to crack a joke yet. He was never truly awake until he had his morning swim.

"What can I do for you? I was just getting ready to head down stairs for my morning swim."
Justin didn't know what to sign or even if this kid knew sign language. He looked sad as he raised his hands but then stopped. The disabled boy doubted this kid knew sign, or even most of the people here. So, the mute boy would have to use his cards most of the time, which would be thoroughly annoying. Sure, Justin was a pro at acrobatics, pressure point striking and sign language but the one thing that he desired was a loving group of friends. Since his parents had practically disowned him Justin had felt a great hole in his heart. True he had had friends at home but he sensed that they hadn’t been true friends.
Handprint got a card from his bag and handed it to the kid.
Hi,
I'm Justin Grant – sorry but am mute.

Josiah watched as the boy raised his hand as if he was trying to say something. He noticed a sad look on his face. He sensed it before he actually knew it that the kid was mute. He frowned. He knew some sign language but not enough to communicate a complete conversation with. Taking the cad he quickly read it. "I had a feeling you where. I'm Josiah," he smiled
He threw his shoulder over his shoulder and tried to remember the sign for nice to meet you. It took him a few minutes before he was able to perform the sign successfully. he than handed the card back to him.

Justin smiled when Josiah said that he figured Justin was mute. When Josiah handed the mute mutant the card back and then signed something, which Justin was pleased about. Maybe people did know sign language here, after all. He just had to find them. Even if they didn’t he could always teach them. Maybe....maybe life wouldn’t be so bad here. who knows – he might even go on to teach here one day.
<<Yes, I'm ok thanks, Josiah>> signed Justin. He then got another card out for the boy to read.
Mind if I just sit and watch? Haven’t made any friends here
(sorry for the rubbish reply – lack of muse)

Josiah smiled he wondered what it must be like to be mute. It had to be hard trying to get everyone to understand you. When Justin signed back to him he took only a moment before he figured it out. Signing was coming back to him. "Glad to hear it I'm Josiah but my friends call me Crossfire." Taking the next card he shrugged, "Sure why not if you want you can swim laps with me to. "I'll wait if you want to run and get changed into your swimming trunks and grab a towel." He didn't know how to sign that so he just said it hoping he would understand. He was mute not death.

Justin smiled in thanks when the boy now known as Josiah said he could swim laps. He signed thanks and then dashed off to his room. Justin was thrilled – he had a friend who understood sign language at this new school. He quickly got into his trunks, changing them for underwear and wearing them under his jeans.
The disabled mutant came back, smiling. He’d keep his cards just in case. He took back the card that Josiah had. He then gestured for him lead the way.

Josiah smiled maybe this would work. It would be nice to have a swimming companion. "Ok let's get to it just fallow me. Your the first swimming companion I have ever had. No one is ever up as early as me." Taking off he ran through the halls but made sure Justin could keep up and didn't get lost.
(should I make a new post at the pool? If not I'll add more to this post just pm me)
