Louder than Words

Chapter One
No matter how many times she approached her, talked to her, no matter how many times she was so damn nice to her, Annaliese Edelstein simply refused to speak to Julchen. After all, the first time they met, she hadn't done anything wrong to Annaliese, just tried to start up conversation, yet she ignored her.

"Hey there, name's Julchen! I mean, I know you're new here, but I'd be surprised if you didn't know about me yet," she winked one of her crimson eyes. She was famous throughout the school, whether is was good or bad depended on the person who heard it from. To some, she was some sort of rebellious inspiration and they'd wink or cheer for her whenever she walked by; a vision of milky, white skin, platinum blonde hair and eyes the colour of blood, with a hint of violet that was dressed in a confident, bold fashion.

Others shunned her because her clothes were too revealing and it distracted the other students. Julchen always thought that was complete and utter bullshit. I'm sorry, but if people get too distracted by an outfit that shows some skin, then they obviously don't have attention spans high enough to be attending this school, the blonde would always say in protest. Oh, how the teachers loved her.

Nonetheless, this new girl had to know who she was. She seemed rather fascinating, propelling Julchen to have this desire to speak to her. This girl had hair the colour of a rich, dark chocolate that looked as soft and smooth as a fine silk and eyes that were a startling violet. She dressed quite formally, in a button-up, lavender blouse with a mark violet skirt that flowed over her ankles. She didn't pay attention to Julchen, as her nose was buried deep in a book with a boring, blue cover.'' She had removed the jacket, who in their right mind would do that? She's probably not in her right mind!''

Still no response. Julchen cleared her throat loudly. "I'm Julchen Beilschmidt, and you are... deaf, I presume? Come on, pay at least some attention to me!" she merely glared up at her, and went back to the book.
