Hometown Chapter Three
Today we got back a kuis that we took a few days ago. I was really nervous about the grade because the teacher put some things on the kuis that she never mentioned. Although, she wrote some stuff on the board but she never berkata anything else about it. I really hope she is not one of those teachers who put a bunch of acak things on a test and will not go over it. She handed them out and then classes kept going.
I started taking notes as usual. But she did it again. I watched her turn around, write some names on the board, and that was it. There was nothing berkata about them when she turned around. Nothing at all. Hopefully she won't put that on the selanjutnya quiz. But I haven't known a teacher who will put stuff up on the board and it not tampil up on a test.
Thankfully this class was over and I started packing my things up.
"Talulah, please stay after class," the teacher berkata as I looked up.
I started blushing why on earth does she want to see me.
"Please call me Talli," I said.
"I noticed on the kuis that anda left several things blank on the quiz. Did anda not know them atau did anda skip over them and mean to come back to them," she asked.
"I knew the names; anda wrote them on the board but I never heard anything that went with the names," I stated, "like in class anda turned your back to the board and wrote names down but anda didn't say anything about them."
"Sounds like anda never heard me. Were anda paying attention," she asked sternly.
"Yes ma'am I always do," I said.
"Okay. anda berkata your mother was deaf. Are anda deaf," she asked concerned.
"Not that I know of," I berkata trying not let a laugh out.
"I want anda to go get your hearing checked," she said.
"I don't need to do that," I stated.
"I called your name several times before anda answered me," she complained.
"I don't even know where to go for that," I said.
"Go into the selanjutnya town and see an ear, nose, and throat doctor," she said.
"But," I said.
"I want anda to. If anda have deafness in your family then anda could be deaf," the teacher said.
"Fine," I grumbled.
"You are free to go," she said.
I grabbed my bag and stormed out of the room. That teacher is crazy. There is no way I am deaf. I just couldn't hear her in class and then I wasn't paying attention at the end of class. She is the only trouble I have with teachers. Other than that it doesn't matter. Thankfully school was over for the day. I sat in the sun and tried to relax. I sat oleh my bike that was laying on the ground and I watched the lacrosse practice that was about to start.
"Hey," someone yelled.
I looked up and saw the lacrosse coach.
"Yes," I asked.
"Have anda ever played before," he asked.
"No, not really," I said.
"Do anda know how to play," coach asked.
"I have an idea," I said, "I've only touched a lacrosse stick once."
"Do anda wanna play," he asked, "join the team?"
"I don't know," I berkata unsure.
"At least think about it," he said.
"Okay I will," I said.
"Okay, let me know soon," he berkata and walked away, "ask anda parents too."
I just got asked to be on a lacrosse team!! I smiled to myself. I have done pretty good today. I have carried on two conversations with two different people today. That's the most I've talked in a while. It was exciting but a part of me wanted to just go hide and not talk to any one.
I got halaman awal and the tv was on in the living room.
"I'm home, I berkata as I walked to the kitchen.
I looked in the cabinets to see what I could cook. I guess I could do pizza. It would be quick and easy so, I got started.
"Talli," dad screamed.
I jumped and spun around. He has scared me. I didn't even hear him come in the room. Come to think about it, I didn't hear the mandi, shower running at all.
"Why are anda yelling at me," I asked.
"I have been calling anda from the back of the house. I thought someone had broken in," he said.
I really looked at dad and noticed he was wet.
"Sorry, I didn't hear you," I said.
"Okay, well I am going to finish my shower," he berkata upset.
"Okay," I said.
I finished making the pizza and we sat down to eat.
"How was school," dad asked once we sat down.
"Fine, I guess," I berkata as I shrugged my shoulders.
"Anything happen today," he asked.
"A teacher told me to go get my hearing check," I berkata as watched his reaction.
"And why is that," he asked as he got upset.
"Cause every time she turns her back to the board I cannot hear her," I stated, "the coach asked me to gabung the lacrosse team today!"
"That doesn't mean anything. I bet there are other kids like that. She is probably a soft spoken teacher. That's great! Are anda wanting to join," he said.
"Everyone made a good grade on the kuis except for me," I stated, "maybe it wouldn't be a bad thing to see about my hearing. I have even noticed a change in it. I don't know."
"I'm sure anda are just over reacting," he berkata as he rolled his eye, "you should gabung the team."
"Yeah I guess so. I don't know. I've never played before," I said.
"Just try it. anda might enjoy it," dad said.
"Eh," I sighed as I shrugged my shoulders.
After makan malam I cleaned and went to go finish homework. I noticed I had one box that still hadn't been unpacked I'm my room. I groaned as got up from my meja tulis, meja and we to dig through it. The box contained stuff I had never seem before. It looked like it had some lebih of day's journals but then there was a wooden box in there. I picked it up and went to sit on my bed. I got comfy and then opened the lid to it. It contained pictures of me and mom. I was so excited to find lebih pictures of mom and me. I had found some but I had to put them back. Then dad hid them somewhere. But I could hid all this from him. He didn't have to know about this. I dug rough the pictures and I was in all of them. Then I found one of dad, mom, and me. I was smiling from ear to ear as I looked up at mom. I noticed we were sitting in some kind of room. Mom's face was red like she had been crying but she was smiling. Dad was in background. He didn't look that happy but he looked content. I looked on the back of the picture to see if this was from anything special and it was. "Talli's reaction from turning on hearing aides!" What? Is this true? Did I really have hearing aides when I was little?! I dug around the box a little lebih and sure enough there was a tiny pair of hearing aides. No wonder I have struggled through school all these years. Dad probably wanted to ignore the my hearing problem after everything he went through with mom. He just doesn't want to accept deafness atau whatever. I just remind him to much of her atau I hope so. I found another picture of me. This one was taken from the side. My hair was in a small ponytail and anda could see the hearing aide. anda could tell I was smiling and pointing at something. I flipped the picture around and it read, "Talli at the park". I then flipped it around again and sure enough I was at the park and pointing at the slide. Even as a kid with hearing loss, I still looked happy as ever. Of course mom was still alive then.
