Adrian was eager for the school day to be over. He had arranged to meet some friends to play basketball, and he wanted to leave right away. The day crawled along, but finally the bell rang. Adrian jumped excitedly from his seat and loaded his backpack. He rushed to the door, but Mr. Benson’s voice stopped him. “Adrian, could you come here, please?”
Adrian stopped and reluctantly turned around. He definitely wasn’t interested in staying after school, but he couldn’t ignore his teacher. So he shuffled up to Mr. Benson’s desk.
“You don’t want to forget this, do you?” Mr. Benson asked as he held out Adrian’s cap. In his hurry to leave, Adrian had dropped it on the floor by accident.
“Thanks, Mr. Benson,” Adrian gratefully replied. Now he was glad he had stayed.
Adrian raced to the basketball court to meet his friends. Everyone was looking forward to playing. The group gathered and began to choose teams, and then the game began.
Adrian really liked basketball, so for a while, he only paid attention to the game. Then, he noticed a boy watching the game. The boy was about his age. Adrian had never seen him before. He asked his friends if they knew the boy, but nobody did. So Adrian decided to introduce himself. When the game was over, Adrian walked over to the new boy. “Hey,” he said, “I’m Adrian.” The other boy didn’t say anything. Adrian repeated himself, but the other boy still didn’t speak. Suddenly, the boy said something in another language. Adrian didn’t understand the words. But he smiled. The other boy smiled back. That was at least a start.
