How does a mute say hello, exactly?

You've been mute most of your life, resulting from an injury in a car accident that basically severed your vocal cords. You eventually got over it, learning sign language and Morse code to help with your communication, if no means of writing was nearby. You had been homeschooled most of your life, due to your parent's fear of you being teased and bullied for your muteness. However, your parents eventually got over their own fears and made the executive decision that you would be joining Phoenix Drop High two months late. Now, it's just how you decide to greet this new opportunity for friends, fun, and maybe, perhaps, POSSIBLY, some love? It's not guaranteed, but maybe some Love? Possibly.
