Chapter 3

When the bell rang,everyone got up.Casey didn't get up until he saw everyone moving.I had to admit he was weird.He watch the teacher's lips,he doesn't talk and he don't know when class is dismissed.

"Why don't we go talk to him?".Dale suggested when we were in the hall.

"No way,bye".Apple said as if no one would miss her.

"Casey!".Dale called.

I hit his chest.Thankful casey didn't look but kept walking.

"Is he okay?".Dale ask before pulling me after the kid.

When we reached him Dale touch him shoulder and he jumped and turned around.

"Hi".he whispered,I could hardly hear it.

"Uh hi my name is Dale and this is-".Dale was cut of.

"Too fast".Casey said watching Dale's lips.

"My name is malik".I said slowly.

Casey smile and nod,his smile was so sweet.I'm just saying,I'm not gay though.

"Which class do you have?".I ask,still talking slow.

He handed me his schedule and I saw he had history.

"Why don't we take you there".I said fast.

He looked at me confuse but nod as if he wasn't sure what I just said.

I looked at dale but he shrug and we walked off with Casey,maybe he was just slow in things.

Casey had biology with us. When we entered the class the teacher was already there,we allowed Casey to go up and introduce himself.

"Hi I'm Casey".He said to the teacher.

"Oh Casey! the special student welcome to my class".

What the heck does he mean special.

Casey nod and turn back to Dale and I.We sat at the front,well because Casey sat there and for some reason I wanted to sit with him.

"Something is wrong with the kid". Dale said,not whispering.

"Shh he can hear you dude".I whispered but Dale shook his head.

"That's the thing,he can't".

I slowly turn to Casey who was playing on his phone.

"Casey?".i said.

I gulp when he didn't even look at me but continued his little game,I turn back to Dale.

"He's just in his phone that's all".i said hoping it was true.

"Okay class let's begin".the teacher said.

I sighed,looking at Casey he didn't even heard what the teacher said until he looked up and saw the teacher writing on the board.
