ROLEPLAY HQ - silent-view

Lily sighs softly as she rubs her eyes. she was standing there with her bag and books. she fiddles with her hearing aids as she stood there outside of the classroom. she was suppose to meet a boy that would show her around and be a friendly face on campus. She takes a deep breath and hums softly as she waits there. Lily had brown/blonde hair that fell to her mid back. she looked like any normal girl that was in college. there was just one thing that was different. it was her ears. she had two small hearing aids in her ears. they were a light blue color for the base of the aid and then clear parts that held over her ears. her outfit was a simple leggings with a hoddie that she wore over her tshirt. her eyes were big as she watched the people. she wished that she was able to speak to people. ask questions without her phone or a notepad.

Alex wasn't famous on campus, but it was hard not to notice them at the same time. With short dyed blue hair and an ear full of piercings, they caught the eye of haters and admirers alike, not that they cared, though. They were here to learn, was what they'd say, spending all their free periods in the library or smoking outside when they were not working. Friends? Doesn't really have them. Club? Neither. Alex always made sure not to linger too long on campus once they were done studying. Now because Alex got along well with one of his professor, he somehow accepted to show around a new student and be a familiar face on campus. He sighs and plays with his lip piercing while walking to the classroom for the first meeting. His jacket seems too large for his small frame, and paired with his skinny pants it makes him look like some sort of walking stick. It didn't take a genius to guess which one was the student waiting for Alex, she was looking around while holding her books and the comparison with an alert fawn was almost too obvious. "Hey." Alex's voice was raspy and deep, without doubt something to do with the faint smell of cigarettes coming from them. @Blue Beetle (edited)

She looks up at him and smile. She shows him her phone ’hey! I am Lily! I am deaf but I have hearing aids however I can’t speak so I will be typing to respond!’ She looks at him and smiles. She seemed to know him from somewhere but she can’t put her finger on it. Her eyes look around as she waits for him to speak. She seemed happy and he would be able to see the hearing aids. He would also might be able to recognize that she was the small deaf girl that he knew from middle school. The one that he seemed to hate. ’where are we headed first?’ she types and shows him. Her eyes looking at him with wide eyes.

Alex stops at her level and after reading the note on her phone, he freezes. There's no way she's that kid from middle school. There *must * be other girls named Lily. But the memories Alex can piece back together all point to the same thing. Her smile hasn't even changed. Does she not recognize him? His heartbeat quickens and he starts to feel sweaty. "I'm A.." they start, but the words won't come out. They try again, but fail. Swallowing with difficulty, their eyes dart everywhere but hers. If they lock eyes, she will remember, for sure. The strength in their legs seem to spill out and no matter how much they wipe the sweat off of their hands on their pants, they remain moist. "Nevermind. I'm out. I'm not doing this." Out of the blue, without even having introduced himself, Alex makes a run for it. Not looking back, or paying attention to who he bumps into, he runs with all the strength left in him to make it outside the building. There, he quickly finds a bush and promptly spills the content of his stomach, however small it may be. "There"s no way in hell..." he speaks to himself, feeling his breath steadying but his heart still beating furiously in his chest. @Blue Beetle (edited)

She stands there as she watches him. Her eyes wide as she runs after him. She pants softly as she enters the courtyard of the buildings and takes a deep breath looking around. She sees him by a tree and moves towards him. She hums loudly. She stands there holding her phone as she types. ’are you ok? I am sorry if I did anything to make you upset..’ she shows him the phone as she looks at him. She really didn’t know who he was…her mind was telling her she didn’t know but she couldn’t out a finger on it

He wasn't totally expecting her to go after him. But he wasn't exactly surprised she did, either. Wiping the corner of his mouth, his eyes trail back up to her phone and his face becomes colder, upset, even. With a swift movement, he kicks the phone out of her hand, as if he was refusing a helping hand. His eyes are locked onto hers when he carefully articulates his words. "Fuck off! You haven't changed, at all!" His expression twists in disgust, then quickly back to anger. "Saying sorry all the time like that, I always found it disgusting! Why aren't you angry?! Haven't I hurt you enough?!" There's a small pause in his tirade where he avoids her gaze for a moment as he signs. "Stop saying 'sorry' or I won't help you." @Blue Beetle

She flinches. Her eyes looking at him. They widen as she realizes who he is. She was shaking slightly as she bites her lip. She stands there. Her hands by her side. She gasps softly as he signs. She watches him. Growling ’you don’t get to sign and tell me what to do. You are in my world when you sign. Why were you the one! God!’ she signs. She pulls her hair as she paces. Her eyes showing her thoughts. He had yelled at her. He had signed!? She sighs as she looks at him. ’show me what I need and then we are done.’

Seeing the realization in her eyes somehow hurts more than he had expected it to be. Maybe, somewhere in him, bubbles a pool of shame. But for now, all Alex cares about is to get rid of this painful and uncomfortable feeling in his stomach. He lets out a chuckle when he deciphers her signs, she's stepping up now ? "I'm as thrilled as you." he says, signing it too with an eye roll to emphasize his sarcasm. Finally getting back up, his face seems to be more relaxed than before. "Deal." he extends a hand for a solemn handshake to sign their agreement. "Which course are you in?" @Blue Beetle (happy new year! sorry it took so long to reply)
