The rest of the week I was forced to stay in bed by my mum. Even though I assured her two days after the pool incident that I was fine. My chest is a lot better now because of the antibiotics and I'm okay to go back to school on Monday.

It's currently Saturday and none of the boys have apologised apart from Ethan. But it wasn't like I was expecting them too I've only known them one day. One day is all it took to give me a chest infection and scare me shitless. But they don't need to know that.

I got out of bed and went straight to the shower. I got rid of the lazy, sickly feeling that was covering my body and freshened up.

I put on a T-shirt and a pair of jeans as well as my Dr Martens. I put on mascara and lipgloss to feel better about my self.

After I grabbed my phone I went downstairs to get breakfast.

"morning" I said to let everyone know I was in the room.

"Hey stell want some breakfast" dad signed holding out a plate of scrambled eggs and streaky bacon.

"Thankyou" I signed and took the plate. I sat down on the breakfast bar next to Cohen.

"Ew smelly Stelly is sitting next to me" he immediately says and signs to me.

I just put up my middle finger and ignore him. It's too early for arguments.

My mum walks in and speed walks over to me to check my temperature.

With her hand still on my head I sign to her "mum I'm fine"

"Are you sure?" She signs back worry still on her face.

I nod a reassuring nod and carried on eating my breakfast.

I felt my phone vibrate in my pocket and checked to see who it was.

2 seconds later I get another.

She texts me the cafe and reply an okay before switching my phone of and putting it back in my pocket.

"is it ok if I go out for a bit with Charlotte" I ask my mum.

"Sure honey but be careful" she signs to me. I love how she cares about me but I'm seriously okay.

"I will"I sign back and turn to Cohen. "Will you give me a lift so I don't have to treck all the way to the cafe" I ask hopeful he will say yes.

"Sure"he signs back and grabs the keys.

We walk out the door and get into the car. I see Cohen turn the radio on and start tapping his fingers along to whatever song was playing.

I wish I could hear music.

We arrive at the cafe 10 minutes later and it looks really nice on the outside. It had a big sign at the top saying Faiths Coffee and a little sign on the door saying open.

I say bye to Cohen and walk into the Cafe looking around for Charlotte and the girls. The Cafe is really warm and Cozy it has fairy lights giving a golden glow around the room and lots of couches with tables in the centre.

I spot the girls and make my way over.

"Hey Stella I'm so glad you came" Charlotte stands up to let me in whilst all the girls smile at me.

"Hi" I say to everyone.

"We all ordered a Caramel Latte so we just ordered you the same. Is that ok?" Mila asked me.

"It's perfect" I replied.

"Hey so why weren't you at school the past few days?" Ellie questioned me. I didn't know whether to tell the girls about Ace.

"I had a chest infection" I didn't exactly lie I just missed some parts out.

"Oh are you okay?"Raven spoke up.

"I'm fine now" I reassured them.

The Caramel Lattes came and we all just enjoyed them and talked about random

Things.

"Ye so my cat was then on top of my grandads head and my grandads teeth were in the cats mouth"Charlotte went on with her crazy story and we all laughed hysterically.

As we sat here I just looked around at the 4 girls who sat beside and on front of me and felt the happiest I have ever felt. These girls who I met for only one day have instantly been kind and so sweet to me. They even talk slowly for me to understand and I have never had someone do such an amazing gesture. I just know this is going to be the start of something great.

"Uh guess who just walked in" Ellie said with a look of disgust.

I turned around for my eyes to be met with Aces cold ones. I instantly turned away and faced back to the girls.

"What's he doing here? He never comes here" Raven slowly said whilst everyone faced her.

"I don't know but Ethan and Elliot are with him too" Mila also said.

I turned back to face the boys when I noticed Ethan making his way over with the two lads following behind him.

"Hey star" he automatically said when he reached me.

I gave him a small smile "hi Ethan" I said.

"How are you feeling" he asked me.

Wow this is awkward.

"Better" I nodded with a slight smile.

Just before he was about to say something else Elliot took a step forward and then said " I'm sorry"

"Why?" I questioned.

"I shouldn't have thrown you in the pool, I hope your okay now" he looked like he was sorry but I didn't know whether to forgive him.

"I'm okay but I wasn't on Monday." The girls looked clueless. I'm guessing I'm going to have to explain to them later.

"I know I was wrong and I'm very sorry" that was the last thing Elliot said before he stepped back and went to order something.

Ethan followed behind him and just as Ace began to turn around I stopped him with my voice.

"What you did was really shitty Ace" I said. It might of been a bit loud as a couple eyes turned to look at us.

He turned around with a blank face

"I don't care" no emotion showed on his face

"Well you should, I could've died" I don't know if I was shouting loud but I noticed everyone eyes staring at us.

"How was I supposed to know you couldn't swim?"

"You weren't, you shouldn't of thrown me in the pool" by then the two boys had come back and the girls were standing up grabbing my things ready to leave.

Someone gently grabbed my wrist and I turned to see Raven tugging me to the exit. I followed her with Mila, Charlotte and Ellie trailing behind.

As soon as we were out they all faced me with their lips moving rapidly.

"Guys" I said to stop them. "You do know I'm deaf right?" I laughed and they smiled in realisation.

So then Charlotte began to talk "what happen on Monday between you and the boys?"

"So I was in the gym with Mila..." I told them all about Monday and the rest of the week. A mixture of emotions were shared Angry, Sad and a bit of both.

"I'm gonna kill him" Ellie's mouth opened wide and I knew she was shouting it.

"Look I'm fine can we just go do something" wanting to stop the conversation and spend time with the girls.

"Yeah I'm just happy your okay. How about we go and get our nails done?" Mila offered and we all agreed.

At least something good will come out of today.
