She looks at me with her large adorable eyes.

"I-I'm scared" she stuttered

I smile encouragingly "tell me and I'll beat them up" I say acting as if they're not standing right there

She bows her head and let's her messy brown hair fall to her face.

I frown and than remember the stuff I have in my bag, I'll bribe her to be happy.. if that makes sense in which it doesn't

I turn around to go get my bag from the rack when I trip, I'm sure they tripped me..

They start laughing and I get up dusting myself.

"I'd rather look at the floor than at your face" I say making them shut up

I continue walking and the little girl suddenly gets up and runs after me.

I walk towards the boy 'side' cause that's where I left my bag, I see my brothers and a few cousins I recognize.

"Hey,what ya doin?" Leo's freind Asks me

I'm not going to reply.

"Hey? Is she deaf to something?"

I roll my eyes and take my bag.

"Honey,-" I start

"My name's not honey! It's maya"

"Oh ok, maya do you want some chips? Or I can let you play on my iPad-"

"Yes please!" She Says giggling

I hand her a bag of chips and my iPad, and she crosses her legs on the couch.

I take out a book and she looks up instantly, "can I read? Please please pleaseeee"

"Sure" I say and hand over my life (book) to her.

She opens it and starts to read letter by letter.

" I  S-m-e-l-l smell! C-u-p cup! C-a-k-e-s Cakes! cupcakes! Can I h-a-v-e have s-o-m-e some!, R-I-l-e-y Riley!"

I lean over to read for her

"I smell cupcakes, can I have some Riley? He said lunging for the cupcakes in my arms-"

"-no, I want to read!" She says

I nod and fold the edge of the paper do I don't lose my page

I nod and fold the edge of the paper do I don't lose my page.

I can see France arguing with the girls in the corner of my eyes but I still look around for anyone else that's alone, I am so not letting anyone go through what I've been through.

I see a girl with wavy blonde hair and a baseball cap, she looks My age, concluding she's the one who came back from America I turn around look at maya.

"I'm gonna go for a sec, wait here and call me if you need anything" I tell her

She nods and looks back at my book mouthing the letters before saying the word out loud.

I make my way to her and sit down beside her.

"Hey" I say

"Hi" she mummers

"Why the frick are you wearing a baseball cap inside?" I ask her

"Because" she said

I lean over and grab the baseball cap, grinning childishly.

"Catch me if you can!" I yell jumping off the couch and running outside yelling for maya to follow me.

I run down the staircase and whip out my phone

"Mom, I'm going out for fresh air, bye"
