Silence Is My Way of Life

Summary: Lilaf Nights is a not-so-ordinary, 9th grade 15-year-old girl. Sure, she rides her skateboard around to school with danger and writes songs but nobody has found out anything about her because she stopped talking when she was 8 years old. She stopped talking because she couldn't stand up for herself in fights when she was little. A boy, Darkmoon who is the same age as her wants to find out if she will ever speak again or will she will stay silent for the rest of her life.

It was a bright and sunny day out in Tokyo, Japan. A 15-year-old girl, Lilaf Nights, was still in bed. She hated to wake up and her school starts at 8:00 a.m. sharp every morning with only one day to relax. Unlike other schools around, Lilaf's school: Tokyo High, allowed regular clothes and not uniforms and there was a small paying fee if someone were to get intot that kind of school. Her alarm clock on her bedside showed the time: 7:30 a.m. on it while it rung rather loudly. Lilaf decided to get up, take a shower, eat breakfast and go to school. Once Lilaf took a shower, she chose a dark outfit: black pants that had heavy metal chains and metal hand cuffs on them, a top that had 'Bug me and I will send you to Alaska, where you will be killed by wild huskies' written in red in the front, black skater shoes that had red shoelaces, a gold watch that had her name on it, a black studded choker and a black hat to top it all off. The outfit matched her pale white skin. Once she got dresses and had her cerial she skateboarded her way to school. Her skateboard had was black and gothic design with silver angel wings. After seven full minutes, Lilaf finally got to school and then she saw her crush, Darkmoon, walk by. Darkmoon is a 15-year-old boy who Lilaf had a big crush on. Darkmoon had silver eyes, short black hair and pale white skin. Darkmoon also had a crush on her. He waved at her as she looked at him. Lilaf blushed and just when she was about to stop her skateboard she slipped and fell onto the ground. Darkmoon gasped an ran to Lilaf's side because she wasn't making any sort of movement for a few minutes. Lilaf looked Darkmoon in the eyes and tried to sit up.

"No, don't sit up... you're hurt." Darkmoon said, putting Lilaf under a shadey tree as he got a first aid kit out of his bag.

You see, Darkmoon is the kind, gentle and caring kind of guy. He would take care of someone's injuries if he trusted the person. For Lilaf, he would put his life on the line for her. He wrapped and cleaned the cuts on her elbow, shoulder, leg and neck. Darkmoon has a job as a detective. He was the best detective because he solved 199 homicide cases, 123 rape cases and 135 robbery cases. The only cases he hasn't solved yet is the case where someone planted a bomb inside Micia's, his mother, car and she died. That was the day Darkmoon became a detective. Lilaf calmed down after he put the last band-aid on her nose. Darkmoon helped Lilaf get up and get her stuff that she had dropped: her purse, backpack, skateboard, elbow and knee pads and her helmet. She gave him a thumbs-up when she brushed the dirt off her clothes. Once Lilaf made it to lunch, she sat with Darkmoon and took out her pen and notepad so they could talk and eat.

"So, how have you been Lilaf?" Darkmoon asked.

Lilaf wrote something on the notepad and handed it to Darkmoon. Darkmoon read it and handed it back to her. She wrote: 'Good.' on the piece of paper. Lilaf smiled as she waited for Darkmoon to talk.

"Are you ready for Mr. Clmoralfe's test on the 'Basics of Math' today?" Darkmoon asked.

Lilaf wrote something quickly on the notepad and handed it over to Darkmoon. Darkmoon scanned the page and it read three words: 'No, duh Sherlock.' on the paper. Darkmoon laughed as he gave the notepad back to Lilaf. Lilaf wrote something on the piece of paper and passed it to Darkmoon. It read: 'I have something to ask: Is it true you have asthma? Oh, and why is there to clocks on that wall over behind you?'. Darkmoon sighed and tapped the table.

"Yes. The rumors are true. And there's not two clocks on that wall." Darkmoon replied, looking around to look the wall Lilaf was looking at and then turned back to see that Lilaf had her head gently laid down on the table.

Darkmoon pat her had gently as she looked at him. Her face turned bright red and she ran to her next class: Math. Lilaf completely forgot about the test that was today. Lilaf got out her pen as her teacher, Mr. Clmoralfe, passed out the papers for the test. Lilaf quickly wrote the correct answers onto the answer lines and gave the test back to Mr. Clmoralfe. He looked over the test and had a shocked look on his face because she answered every question correctly in under 10 minutes. She gulped as she saw that he was grading her paper. He looked at her and smiled.

"You may wait outside Ms. Nights." Mr. Clmoralfe said.

Lilaf walked out of the classroom. Suddenly, someone grabbed her from the side. The figure had a hand over her mouth. Lilaf looked up and saw Darkmoon. Lilaf blushed as he took his hand off her mouth. Lilaf noticed he was crying for some reason. He gently kissed her on the lips and whispered in her ear:

"I won't let anything or anyone hurt you, Lilaf. Your the only one I've got left. You are everything to me." Darkmoon said, pulling Lilaf into a gentle hug and kissed her gently on the lips again.

Sorry if it's short. Please tell me what you think so far!
