Two people are drawn together due to being equally hated, but
have difficulty talking due to ones deafness, after some
drama the two reconcile in the park and quietly sit together,
understanding of each others faults.

Boy: Brash and quick to judge, but shy due to the way he
presents himself, is able to trust in the girl due to her
understanding nature.
Girl: More than a little quiet, and can only communicate
through sign language and note passing, her difficulties in
communication lead to her being isolated, but feels confident
in the boy due to his honesty.

others in the class, as time passes, eventually only they are

points at her ear and gives a short wave with her other hand,
the sound stops, and music begins.

the course of several lessons, the girl begins to teach him

attempt so much, but the two interact more and more.
