Saliyah sat on the swing watching all the other kids play with each other "Saliyah!" Her new and only friend Jordan smiled running towards her but Saliyah didn't respond she was too stuck in her thoughts
Once Jordan made it to where Saliyah was sitting she looked at her "Saliyah.... I don't like being ignored... Saliyah!" Jordan yelled into her ear causing saliyah to jump a little bit "You didn't hear me calling your name?" Jordan rudely asked, all Saliyah did was shake her head no ".... fine next time you need to listen and stop being so sad all the time" Jordan told her sitting on the swing next to her
"OK since you're my best friend now we have to get to know each other" Jordan informed her making Saliyah nod Jordan mugged her in return "You need to use your words, you have a mouth for a reason" she sassed while rolling her eyes Saliyah tilted her head to the side confused on why she was so upset
"Anyways like I was saying we have to get to know each other so I'll start my full name is Jordan Skye August.... now it's your turn what's your full name?" She questioned looking at Saliyah
Saliyah stared at her for a while before answering "My name is Saliyah Blair Night" she said looking back at the kids who were playing "... why do you always do that?" Jordan asked full of curiosity causing Saliyah to look at her and tilt her head to the side confused about what she was talking about "You always take forever to respond to people, you always talk so low and you always tilt your head to the right side" Jordan listen and pointed her hand to the right ".... I don't know but.... I talk low because my voice is low" she voiced out
"Anyways what's your birthday mine is February 15th," she told her ".... my birthday is October 16th" she informed her "OK what is your- Can we play something different I don't like answering so many questions" Jordan started but Saliyah cut her off getting annoyed "First of all don't cut me off because that's rude" Jordan snapped at Saliyah but Saliyah didn't care she just stared at her for a while before getting up off of the swing walking away
"Saliyah where are you going?" Jordan asked walking behind her "To the store" She mumbled "I don't have money" Jordan told her and Saliyah took her 4 dollars out of her pocket and gave her 2 "Thanks" Jordan smiled walking side by side with Saliyah
