The Silence Breaker

Summary

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.
