David watched what she was writing, once he read it, he could kind of understand her a little bit more. Soon the bell rang, and Erin wrote it out on the paper so he could tell. To which he nodded his head, took the notebook and closed it, carefully putting it into his bag. Then he reached over to take the apple, taking another bite out of it and went to follow Erin. He was glad he made a friend, one that he could start to trust, and feel safe where he was. There was a smile on his face, one that was warm and glad. He followed her to his next class, thanked her and went inside the classroom. This class was for Science, so hopefully it wouldn't be too difficult. He relied on reading lips this hour since the teacher barely wrote anything on the board. Taking notes on everything he said, he knew this year was going to be a difficult one. He quickly snuck a peek at his schedule just in case so he knew what his next class was. Gym. That's fine, right? David quickly resumed to writing down notes, paying extra attention so he wouldn't miss anything. Missing something would be horrible on his part. Even though he could have worn his hearing aids like his parents wanted him to. But he did not want to be labeled a handicap. It's what he hated the most, was to be called something he didn't want to know that he was. Pushing all negative thoughts aside, he wrote as much as he could.
