Chapter 2 Daniel

The next morning I woke up and ate breakfast. I ask my parents if I could explore a bit and the sayed yes as long as I have my phone on me. I grab my phone and a notepad and headed outside. I decided to go to the near by playground my parents told me about. While headed to playground I see a couple of older kids trying to mug a boy that looked about my age. I turned around and started to walk away. "ugh, I'm mute what can I do" I say in my thoughts while rolling my eyes. But then I feel myself turning around and walking towards the boy. I quickly grab the boy by his hand and ran. I could hear the older group of kids screaming and running after me and the boy. I finally reached my house front yard after running for a while. I turn around and saw the the group of kids walking away while saying a bunch of swear words and saying how they would kill me the next time they saw me. While panting I turned to the boy and putted on a forced smiled. He shamefully smiled back, probably because he was saved my a girl and said "Th- thank you I geuss". I quickly get out my notepad and write "you welcome" then showed it to him. He looks at me weirdly then asks me if I can't speak. I nod and write on my notepad that "I'm mute". Then quickly showed him. Still looking a little embarrassed he and says "I'm Daniel, I'm 14 years old and live a couple blocks from that playground" I smile and quickly write on the notepad "Hi I'm Mariya and recently moved here from Colorado, I'm 13 1/2 years old, and the house were in front of is actually my new home" I showed him the notepad and he smiled and offered me to shake hands. I shake his hand and he says "Friends?" in a questioning tone. I nod a yes and smile. "Well I gotta go know" Daniel says. I nod and wave good bye and walked inside.When I walked inside I saw my mom in the kitchen and my dad was unpacking the living room. I heading to the kitchen and smiled at my mom. "Back so early?!" she says like she shocked. I nod and used sign language to tell my mom bout my day. She smiled and said "Well I'm glad you made a friend, maybe he can come over sometimes" I smile and nod repeatedly. I then join my mother and help her fix up the tacos. Then prepared the table and called my dad for lunch. When my dad ask me did I have fun at the park. I told about how I never made it to the park and that I saved a boy named Daniel from getting mugged. He looked really empress like he didn't think I was capable of ever making a friend within a short time or maybe he was shocked at the fact I had the confidence to save someone from getting mugged. My dad looked at me and said "Looks like your quite a dare devil, don't get yourself into to much trouble" I nod then ate my lunch. Later that day after eating dinner I texted my friends and told them about my day and told them how much I missed them. I sighed and smile "guess today wasn't that bad" I said to myself. Then went to sleep.
