//------------------------------// // The Project // Story: Am I just an outsider // by fluttercord4ever //------------------------------// "Ok class before we leave today. We have a project." Miss Cheerilee said walking to the front of the class with a smile on her face. "What is the project about Miss Cheerilee?" One of my classmates said. I can feel him looking at me. I tried not to look and keep my eyes front, but I look at the corner of my eye to see a creepy smile on his face. I quickly turn back to the front of the room where Miss Cheerilee stood. "The project is to write a song about anything you want and sing it to the class. The project is do tomorrow." Some of my classmates were happy and some of them groaning and not wanting to do it. With me I don't mine writing a song or the project itself. It's just I am afraid what my classmates would say about my voice and my speech. They just don't understand that I wear hearing aids. I can't just magically make my not deaf. "Sweetheart class is over." I look up to see Miss Cheerilee at the front of my deck. I look around to see none of my classmates are in the room. "Sorry Miss Cheerilee. I was thinking about the project." Miss Cheerilee smile and put a hoof on my shoulder. "You don't have to sing it, if you want Sweetheart. You can just read it." "It's ok Miss Cheerilee. I can handle it." "Ok. I'll see you tomorrow then." I nod at Miss Cheerilee and walk out of the school.
