“Yeah, I live next door,” he says pointing to the house that I’ve seen all those other boys coming and going from.
“Do you have a lot of brothers?” I ask.
“Yeah. I have one sister and five brothers.”
““Whoa, that’s a lot. I have one sister, she’s my twin.”
“Yeah? How come she didn’t come to the park with you?”
Instantly my mood deflates as I think about where Mya is right now, without me.
“Oh, um, she had something to do,” I say averting my eyes.
Silence hangs in the air between us and I can feel his eyes on me, studying me.
“My mom just made some cookies. Do you wanna come over and hang out? We can watch a movie.”
I look up at him in surprise, shocked by his offer.
“You wanna hang out with me?” I ask incredulously.
That small smile is back on his face as he stares down at me.
“Yeah, you seem pretty cool. Besides anybody that rocks a Power Rangers T-shirt is cool with me.”
My eyes go to my t-shirt that has a picture of the yellow Power Ranger plastered across the front. It was a Christmas gift from Daddy last year.
“You like the Power Rangers?” I ask.
“I love that show” he says.
I open my mouth to ask him another question when a voice from behind me shouts, “Hey Levi, we’re gonna go throw the football around. Are you coming?”
We both look over my shoulder to see a group of boys waving in this direction. I instantly deflate, figuring that he will want to go play with them.
“Nah, I’m busy. I’ll catch you guys later” he yells back.
Once again, I’m shocked. “D-don’t you want to go hang out with them?”
“Nah,” he says, his eyes scan my face. “I’m good. Are you coming?” he asks walking backwards towards his house.
“Yeah,” I find myself nodding. “I’m coming.”
