1 Senior high school

Xue Yuzhen stood in front of the tall magnificent building with a big smile. The early morning sun rays shone down on her flawless pale skin and long black hair as her large eyes scanned the structure in front of her. She had worked hard with her studies so that she could get the top marks required to qualify an acceptance to LiShan Senior high School (LSSH).

"Zhenzhen!" Squealed a happy voice. Zhenzhen startled out of her trance and turned around to see her best friend Chen Youyue running towards her.

Xue Yuzhen's smile widened revealing the dimples under her eyes. Behind Chen Youyue trailed another handsome teenager. "Yo Zhenzhen. You're early!" Said Jiang Weiliang. YuZhen nodded and smiled at Weiliang whilst she gave Youyue a warm hug. The three of them were best friends who have known each other since childhood. They grew up together and went to the same primary and high school. "Nervous? Have you had breakfast yet?" Asked Weiliang as he looked at YuZhens pretty white face with a lovely rosy complexion.

Yuzhen stared at her best friends faces and felt a warmth in her heart. Youyue was tall with a toned body that any models would envy. She always wore a joyful expression with cute dimples which made people want to befriend her. Unlike Yuzhen's fair complexion, Youyue was slightly tanned from always swimming. She wasn't shy and had an easy laugh. She had large eyes that slanted up like a cats that was surrounded by thick long lashes. It's no wonder she was always popular with both the boys and girls. Weiliang was tall with phoenix eyes that always seemed to stare deep into ones soul. He looked just like an idol out of a kpop magazine with his quiet nature and easy smile.

As other students started arriving through the front gate, the trio began to walk slowly through the entrance.

"Are you sure you won't change your mind about coming to this school Zhenzhen? It's not too late to change your mind.." Youyue asked as she searches Zhenzhens face. She enviously stares at the fair complexion on Zhenzhen's heart shape face. Her long black hair framing it making it look even more whiter and bringing our her rosy cheeks and pink lips. Standing half a head shorter than Youyue and only reaching Weiliangs chest, Zhenzhen blinks her large eyes and stares at her delicate hands. She looks up at her friends and begins to move her hands quickly. A response that only her two best friends in the school would understand, for Zhenzhen communicated with her heart and her hands. She used sign language to reply to her friends concerned expressions.

"I just want to live like an ordinary person" Youyue translated the sign language aloud. Zhenzhen nodded. She wasn't always a mute, but since she had been one since she was in primary school, she and all her close family and friends had learnt how to use sign language.

Youyue sighed. She was worried that Zhenzhen disobeyed her mother and was stubborn in not attending a school which catered to students with special needs. She knew that Zhenzhen didn't want to be treated as a disabled person and wanted to live like a normal teenager with her friends. However, apart from Weiliang and Youyue, Zhenzhen never had any friends and was often a victim of being bullied as she was always misunderstood (or not understood). As she was never able to voice out or retaliate, it made her an easy target. Even then, Zhenzhen was still adamant in her decision. Zhenzhen knew how supportive and protective her best friends were and again felt grateful that she was not alone on her first day.

Zhenzhen linked arms with her tall friends and pulled them in making their way to begin their new chapter.

Not far behind them, 3 handsome boys strolled through the gates causing all heads to then. They seemed to draw all the attention with their handsome faces and stylish clothes.

Chen Jieke wore a thoughtful expression on his tanned face with a faint dimpled smile. At 190cm, he towered over everyone and coupled with his handsome intelligent face, he easily stole the hearts of many girls who saw his smile.

"What are you thinking of Jieke?" Asked Ding Weihao as he followed Jieke's line of sight at the three figures walking ahead of them.

Weihao adjusted his black framed glasses against his tall nose on his very white skin. Although he was almost a head shorter than Jieke, his large intelligent eyes with long dark lashes attracted just as much admiration from onlookers.

From Jieke's other side came an impatient voice. "Why are we even here Jieke? Our parents still don't know that we aren't attending the private international academy they've enrolled us in. If they found out, they'll freeze all our credit cards, take away our stocks and turn us out on the kerb!" Li Kaile has always had a bad temper. Only his best friends Jieke and Weihao could endure it. Kaile at 187cm tall was also a head taller than most of the students at LSSH. A frown can be seen on his white face skin as he squints his dark onyx eyes at Jieke. He really felt wronged as the three of them are from prestigious and rich families. However, due to Jieke's stubbornness, he refused to attend a school with other snobby rich heirs.

Jieke stares at Zhenzhen's back and his smile deepened. "I just want to live like an ordinary person".
