The Silence Breaker
Language: en
I suffered from aphasia. For the first few days after I transferred schools, my classmates only thought I was quiet and shy. That was until I accidentally knocked a classmate's book to the ground and stepped on it. The scary-looking classmate sitting at that desk glanced up at me. Immediately, a "righteous" classmate pushed me hard. "Are you mute? Don't you know how to apologize!" My lower back hit the corner of the desk, pain reddening my eyes. I hurriedly signed: I'm sorry, I'll replace your book with a new one. The noisy classroom instantly fell silent.
