The Sound of Silence

Talking Without Speaking

*3rd Person Point of View, Omniscient*

Cosimia slams her hand down on the source of the annoying beeping sound repeatedly. Growling, she rises, irritated that the damn thing wouldn't shut up. Grabbing the alarm clock, she sighs when she sees 5:00 glowing. 'Why did I get this damn thing again?' She thinks to herself as she turns the alarm off. 'Oh yeah, because I can't press snooze or sleep and go back to sleep. It causes me to get up to turn it off.' She glares at it. 'Bitch.'

She digs through her drawers, grabbing her Blastoise shirt and acid wash jeans. She jumps into the shower, showering quickly. Stepping out, She wraps the towel around her body before plugging in her hair dryer. Smiling, she dries off before wrapping her the towel around her hair. She gets dressed in this outfit. Grabbing her eyeliner, mascara, and liquid eyeliner, she quickly does her eyes, doing winged eyeliner. Looking in the mirror, she nods in approval before taking the towel off of her head. Grabbing her brush, Cosimia brushes her long blue hair. She turns the hair dryer on and dries her hair.

"Cosimia, sweetie, I made you breakfast. It's blueberry and chocolate chip pancakes with strawberry and cherries on top. I also got cranberry juice like you asked last night!" Ruby yells out. Cosimia grins and rushes downstairs.

'Thanks, Mama,' Cosimia signs before digging in quickly. ruby watches, amused. Ruby smiles, looking at her stepdaughter. 'Well, I suppose now's as good a time as any other to tell her the good news,' Ruby thinks.

"Cosimia, your father wants to see you later today after school. Make sure you bring Aife too. He said something about you two recording a cover of The Sound of Silence and then a few other songs. He also said something about introducing you to people," Ruby says. Cosimia's eyes widen.

'Really? Okay, I'll be sure to tell Aife,' Cosimia signs to her. Finishing the last of her pancakes, Cosimia grabs her phone and texts Aife, passing along the message. 'Okay, I told her.' Standing up, she walks to the sink and puts her dishes in it. Hugging her stepmother, she places a kiss on her cheek. 'Bye, Mom!" She signs before grabbing her bag and heading out the door.

Cosimia heads to the garage, unlocking it and going to her Harley. Putting her helmet on, she starts it up. 'Damn, I love how she purrs,' Cosimia mentally squeals. 'I really must thank Dad for getting me this again.' Cosimia drives down the driveway and to Aife's house.

"COSIMIA! WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?!" Aife screeches as she runs out the house. Cosimia laughs.

'If you mean what the hell is going on with Dad wanting to see us after school, it's to record some more songs. Mom also said something about him want us to meet someone.' She signs. 'Also, cute outfit.' Aife smiles.

"Oh, you should have just said so, chica,' Aife signs back. 'Thank you by the way.' Cosimia rolls her eyes before handing her the extra helmet. Aife grins and puts in on before hopping behind Cosimia. Wrapping her arms around her tight, Aife grins.

'You know, this is why people think we're dating Aife,' Cosimia signs before driving off. Aife grins.

"I know. You know that you enjoy the fuck out of confusing people at school," Aife teases. Cosimia grins and nods.

A few minutes later, the duo arrives at the school quickly due to a shortcut Cosimia took. Cosimia parks her Harley in her parking spot, knowing that no one would dare to touch her bike because the last time someone did, he was seriously hurt. The person to touch her Harley was a senior quarterback and she had fucked him up because he had scratched it pulling into his parking spot.

Cosimia takes off her helmet and puts it in the compartment. Aife takes hers off and does the same. 'Hey, you wanna fuck with their minds today, babe?' Aife signs. Cosimia grins.

'Why of course. Don't I always?' Cosimia signs back. Aife grins and grabs her hand. The two walk hand in hand through the school, acting as if they don't hear the whispers.

"Gays really are everywhere!"

"Damn, they're both into girls! I lost my chance!" One guy complains to his friends, nearly causing the two girls to burst out laughing.

"I actually have a chance!" One girl squeals, causing the two girls to shudder since they both know that person. The two hurry to their class, not looking back at the girl.

'I think we shouldn't hold hands anymore or Shana is going to get ideas into her head!' Cosimia signs, shivering at the thought of going out with the popular girl. She has nothing against her, she's just too preppy and peppy for her to handle being in a relationship with her.

'Yeah, maybe we should tell her that we're both straight?'

'That'd be lying since we're both bisexual. But, if we're going to lie, we might as well go all the way and tell her we're asexual.' Cosimia signs back with a serious face. 'I really don't want to have the 'it's you, not me because you're too preppy and peppy for me' talk with her.'

"Yeah, especially since I would have to translate for you and she might attack me," Aife mumbles, shivering. Cosimia laughs at her friend's scared expression causing Aife to flip her off.

The bell rings and the rest of the class slowly file in. People fill up the seats in the back of the class, leaving the two seats by the girls empty. The teacher enters the class and surveys the class, spotting the two empty seats. She smiles.

"Listen class. Today we have two new transfer students," She says. 'You two can come in now," She says as she turns to the door. Two boys come in one with black hair and the other with blue hair. "My name is Mrs. Brown. Introduce yourselves please." The one with black hair smiles easily.

"My name is Jared Black, the boy next to me is my little brother," He pauses, flashing a charming smile. Cosimia rolls her eyes at the sounds of some of the girls in the back erupting into whispers about how 'fuckable' he is. He places an arm around his little brother, which seems to make him uncomfortable. The blue haired boy shrugs his brother's arm off of him.

"My name is Dean Black. It's nice to meet you all. Please take care of my brother and me," He says shyly. Cosimia's eyebrow twitches at the disgusting comments some of the people in the back make. Turning to Aife, she huffs.

'Can you please tell them to shut the fuck up before I start pulverizing them? Like fucking honestly, the girls and even some of the guys are acting like these two are pieces of meat! It's fucking disgusting!' Cosimia signs furiously, a frown on her face. Aife nods.

"I suggest the people talking in the back shut the fuck up. Mainly because you all are pissing Cozie off and you remember what happened the last time she was pissed off, right?" Aife says, grinning at the audible gulps she hears. 'There, is that better?' Aife signs.

'Yes, much. You know how I get so thanks, babe,' Cosimia signs, winking dramatically. Aife shakes her head with a smile.

"Thank you, Aife for getting them to shut up," Mrs. Brown says. She turns to the two boys. "Please take a seat by Aife and Cosimia, the two girls in the front," She adds. The boys nod. The blue haired boy sits next to Cosimia while the black haired boy slides into the seat next to Aife.

'Hello, it's nice to meet the two of you. My name's Cosimia but I guess you already knew that since Mrs. Brown said Aife and my name.' Cosimia signs, smiling. 'If you ever need anything, just ask.'

"Cosimia said—"

"I know what she said," Dean says softly. "Thank you for standing up for my brother and me." Cosimia eyes sparkle. She leans over, getting closer to him as she smiles big.

'Wait, you can understand ASL?' She signs. He nods shyly.

'I understand it perfectly but I'm new to signing. I had a friend in my old school that was deaf so I learned it for his sake,' Dean signs. Cosimia squeals softly.

'I could just hug you right now!' She signs excitedly, causing Dean to blush, before turning to Aife with a huge smile. 'Finally, I will finally be able to talk to another person without resorting to using you as a translator or writing notes!' She pumps her fist into the air.

"Calm down chica, people are staring," Aife comments, amusement coloring her tone.

'At this point, they can go fuck themselves! I'm still pissed off at their disgusting antics!' Cosimia signs, fury blazing in her eyes. Aife snickers before shaking her head.

"Aife, Cosimia, would you two mind escorting Jared and Dean around school today. Apparently, they have the same classes as you," Mrs. Brown says. The two girls nod.

****Time Skip To the End Of School****

"So, what are you two doing later today?" Jared asks, looking at the two girls.

"Sorry, we have to go see Cozie's father right now. If you give us your numbers, we'll text you as soon as we're done," Aife answers. Jared pouts.

"Are you sure we can't come? It'd be interesting to meet your father darling," He says, winking at Cosimia who rolls her eyes at his antics.

'Please, stop. We're not dating sweetie. I doubt we ever would anyway.' Cosimia's nose crinkles. 'You're a playboy and I don't date playboys.' Jared huffs in mock outrage as he clutches at his heart, acting as if he was wounded.

"She's got you there, bro," Dean snickers. Jared glares at his brother.

'You know Cozie, you've never dated anyone,' Aife slyly signs. Cosimia flips her off.

"Ooh, you two are going to fuck? Can I join in to make it a threesome?" Jared asks. Aife punches him in the shoulder.

"First off, no, we're not going to fuck. We're too good of friends to do that. Second, fuck off and fuck a pike. Hopefully, you'll get splinters in your ass," Aife growls. Jared pouts. Dean rolls his eyes.

"Hey, give me your phones. I'll put our numbers in," He offers. The two girls smile and hand him their phones. Dean quickly puts in his number as well as his brothers. "I hope you don't mind me naming us in your contacts," He says, blushing lightly. Cosimia coos at him before looking at her phone. She busts out laughing.

'I assume 'Asshole' is Jared?' Cosimia signs, grinning. Dean grins back as he nods. The four of the walk to Cosimia's parking spot.

"Wow, who does the Harley belong to?" Jared asks as he reaches forward to touch it. Cosimia grabs his hand, squeezing his wrist tightly.

"It's Cosimia's and she barely lets me, her father, and her mechanic touch it. So, unless you want to end up like Joe, you might want to retract your hand," Aife comments, explaining.

"Joe?" Dean asks.

"Don't ask. Basically, he's the last guy who pissed her off. She sent him to the hospital for touching her bike after he scratched it," Aife comments with a shrug. The two boys look at Cosimia in surprise. Jared quickly retracts his hand.

"Sorry." Cosimia glares at Jared while she gets the helmets out. She tosses Aife a helmet without looking behind her.

"See you two later," Aife says as she waves before wrapping her arms around Cosimia's waist.

"Those two are something else," Jared says, shaking his head. Dean nods in agreement.
