I thought about it.

"Nahhhh that ain't for me."

We pulled up at Khalil house. That shit look like a castle.

Layla Pov.......

I was sitting at the table when Miss James (their teacher) came in with a little boy who looked very angry.

"Class we have a new student that would like to introduce himself"

"Ooo he has green eyes" some of the girls where whispering

"Come on sweetie tell us your name don't be shy"

The boy looked far from shy I thought

"My name is Raheem" he mumble with his head down.

"RAHEEM that's a beautiful name, you may sit anywhere you want" Miss James said 

"Ooo I hope he sits over here"my friend Alicia said

"He looks like a meanie" I said

"Yea with green eyes" Alicia smiled

We saw him walking to our table.

"Ooo lay here he come she whisper in my ear."

He slid into the chair by Alicia.

"Hello my name is Alicia" she said with her hand out

He just looked at her hand.

She put her hand away realizing he was not going to shake it.

"See I told you he was a meanie" I whisper

During the whole class he was very quiet , he wouldn't speak to nobody.

Now it was lunch time and everybody was grabbing their lunches

I had two turkey sandwiches , a Scooby snack,chips, and a Sunny Dee

We went outside on the playground area since it was nice outside. Alicia went to go sit with her other friends. She talk to lots of people. I was sitting at the picnic table by myself until I saw the new boy from earlier sitting at the other end of it.

I slid down to the same end as him but on the other side where we were both facing each other. I realize he didn't have a lunch like everyone else

"You mommy didn't pack a lunch"

"No" he said with his head down

I pulled out my extra  sandwich I usually have for a snack.

"You can have mines its a turkey sandwich my sissy say it's good for you" I said sliding it over to him.

He looked at it first and unwrapped then took a bite.

"It's good" he said with a mouthful

" My sissy said you chew with your mouth close "

"Oh sowy "he said

"Hahaha it's ok" I giggled

I shared my lunch with him since he didn't have anything else to eat. We talked the whole time he is really funny.

"How did your eyes get green I never seen that before" I

"My mommy said my daddy has green eyes"

"Really?" I said. He nodded his head eating some of my Scooby snacks

"Hey lay you didn't want to come play with us" Alicia said

"No" I said shaking my head

"See I told you she wouldn't play with us" one of her friends said.
