Chapter 5

I met her at the door of the new neighbors.Then she rang the door bell and waited for someone to answer.The door was pulled and a lady came in view smiling,she looked around my mom's age,shoulder length black hair,brown eyes and a round face.She almost look like Casey only she's a woman.

"Hi I'm Sidney and this is my son Malik,welcome to the neighbor hood". My mom handed her the pie.

"Thank you so much Sidney,I'm Alisha,nice to meet you two".

"You too Sidney".I said and put the apple on top of the pie,

My mom rolled her eyes and I shrug while Sidney laugh.

"Thank you Malik,please come on in". Sidney step aside and we went in.Sitting in the living room.

"Mommy,no apples!" A very familiar voice said from behind us in the kitchen.

Sidney smile and took up the apple "Well thanks again for the apple Malik ".

"No problem".i smile

Just then a pouting Casey walked in,his pout disappeared and left his mouth open when he saw me.Now I know why Sidney look a lot like Casey,she's her mother. He smile before going to the apple his mom was holding out.

"This is my son Casey".Sidney put her hand on his back.

"Hi Casey".my mom said and Casey waved.

"Hi Mawik".

"You already met Casey?" Sidney ask and I nod.

Then Casey start doing weird things with his hand to his mother then she did it back....wait did he just call me Mawik

"Casey signs when he can't say a full long sentence but thanks for being friends with Casey, he say he was really nervous until you came". Sidney smile.

"Oh he's..". My mom trailed off.

"Yep". Sidney said ."Since he was 7".

Since he's seven what?am I this dumb?

"Casey,take Malik upstairs".she finish the rest with her hands action.

Casey took my hands and led me up the stairs. Leaving the moms to talk. He led me to a door and opened it, revealing his room.The first thing that caught my attention was this huge Spider-Man sticker on the wall,right beside his white dresser. The tv was on the other side on the room and the bed was in front with everything else.

His room was just like any other teenage boy.....except for the sticker.I pointed at the sticker.

"Amazing".He simple said and sat on his bed.

I sat beside him and he played with his fingers.

"So how was your first day?"I spoke but he didn't look at me.

I touch his fingers and he look up confuse.

"Why don't you answer unless someone touch you?" I ask slowly.

"Don't know you talking till you touch me". He huff.

"What?".I think he still talks like a baby because his l's sound a lot like W's and he misses out some words".

"Why friends with me?".he ask

"Because....".I didn't really know,why do I want to be friends with him so bad and why do I feel like I don't want to lose him.

"Pity?" He ask and I quickly shook my head.

"Why would I have pity on you?" I ask slowly.

"Coz ears are broken".

WHY CANT I UNDERSTAND HIM?!
