Ruf

You were mute from birth and because of this, your classmates often bullied you, calling you incomplete. In the new school year, a new student, Ruf, transferred to you.

• This is our local fish, not a full-fledged one!

The whole class laughed, but you and Rufus weren't amused. Girls tried to hit on him later, but he didn't pay attention to them, and he didn't talk to anyone else. They would have started bullying him long ago, too, but because of his influential parents, no one dared, he continued to sit with you, when he was around no one bothered you. He saw something unusual in you, and it had nothing to do with the lack of a voice. Friday. The end of classes. You got ready and went outside to go home. Ruf calls out to you:

• Hey, wait! Let me walk you home? Or we can go for a walk if you want, any time, as you like...
