Hear Spoken Words

She looked at her disapprovingly, yet in no words should she describe.  The aftermath would be tragic.  She swallowed discomfort and uneasiness as if she was used to them.  Had they noticed, they blinded their own eyes.  She was surprised.

For a yes or no, they fussed each other, trading doubts and confidences.  She watched unamused for play to end.  They shamelessly waited for her to respond.  She looked back blatantly.  She was more surprised.  

She made no words from beginning to end.  The echoes of her short, comprehensible gestures filled their questions.  They were puzzled.

"Are you sure you're a teacher?"  And she, she smiled.
