Earl's Pov
Dawn was helping Mary with making breakfast when I heard him calling out my name, his voice is echoing inside my head not really sure if I heard it right but the moment he's standing in front of me I couldn't hear him, was it just an illusion? His voice did I really....
I felt warm sensation on my shoulder and it snapped me back to reality
"Good morning, are you okay? did you sleep well?" Dawn asked with his bright smile
"hhhm I did" I said looking away, embarrassed by the thought of Dawn carrying me to bed while I was asleep
He cupped my face with both hands and made me look at him "breakfast is almost ready, we can eat in a few more minutes" he said pointing to the kitchen "go upstairs and get ready" after saying that he rubbed my right ear
Was that him being affectionate towards me or he's doing that to everyone he knows? His gestures earlier ahhhh my face is burning
While changing my clothes I thought to myself "as much as I am embarrassed about last night, I am more curious to know what happened... haaaaaa I can't bring myself to ask Dawn, I'm afraid to know if I did something unusually weird"
Breakfast went by faster than I want it to be and now we're heading to school, Dawn driving my car as he still insists that it's not safe for me to drive alone. Should I just hire a driver to send and pick me up at school? But I really think it's unnecessary, the school is just 20 minutes' drive from my house
Dawn dropped me off in front of the school building while he went to park the car, I waited for him but when he got out the car students approaching him one by one and talking to him
He looked over to me and our eyes met, maybe he's checking if I'm waiting for him or not. I didn't want to put pressure on him to hurry up so I decided to just go first
walking in the hallway seems too unfamiliar for me I've been here for almost 5 years now and this year has been the most difficult one, I don't recognise anyone since my batchmates graduated already and I can feel everyone's eyes is on me maybe the reason they are staring at me is because first I repeated this school year and second because I became deaf
I felt someone tapping my left shoulder when I turn my head, I see Dawn breathing heavily
"I'm sorry to keep you waiting" he said with a frown
"No, don't apologize I didn't want to interrupt you and your friends that's why I went in first" That was inconsiderate of me should I just have waited for him? Will he think badly of me now?
