Here's my next one. I really like how I did the last one. Especially the last statement Danny said. Review please!!
Danny road on his scooter with Benly behind him hanging onto him. Danny got to the house where Benly lived as the boys went inside.
"Hello Benly and Danny," smiled Martha, "you boys want something to eat?"
"Sure mom," smiled Benly as the boys rushed to the kitchen.
"Benly, slow down or you'll bump into something," worried Martha.
"I'm fine mother," smiled Benly as he took out the form, "in fact, I was wondering if you can sign this so I can tryout."
"Track?" Widened Martha, "honey, you'll be running a track and you might bump into some other kids."
"Relax Mrs. H, he knows where he's going. See, a blind person can feel vibrations from under their feet and know where a person is. They can also hear their steps. You'll be surprised how good of hearing and touch they have, especially smell," told Danny.
"Yeah Mom, I maybe blind, but I can still see. I just have to find a different way," told Benly.
"Come on hon, Benly's been in this house all day and needs to get out and get some fresh air," told the father who's name was Jim, he was blind too.
"Fine Jim, I'll sign this," agreed Martha as she signed the form and brung it to Benly.
"Thanks Mom," smiled Benly as he kissed his mother on the cheek.
"So, this is Danny huh?" Asked Jim.
"Yeah, he's really cool," told Benly.
Jim felt Danny's face to know what he looks like. He smiled and then cocked his eyebrows.
"Nice contacts," said Jim, apparently he could tell if somebody had contacts or not, "do you wear glasses?"
"Well kinda," told Danny who was a little nervous.
"I see," nodded Martha as she put some food on the table and everyone started eating.
Jim had a way of knowing things since he was a detective, at least that was his job. He felt the vibrations of how Danny was eating. It was not like how his workers or how teenagers his age would eat. It's like the first time he took a bit, it's like he had to smell in order to know what it was. That was how his son ate including himself. Was this kid blind too? That would explain how he understands his son better, but why did he have to hide that?
"So, what do you do at school?" Asked Jim.
"Well, I play at the Basketball team," told Danny.
"I see, do they have any blind kids at school besides my son?" Asked Jim.
"Well . . . not exactly, alot of people there babying Benly alot, you'd be surprised what I had to do to get Benly a form to join the Track Team," told Danny.
"Really?" Surprised Jim, "what do they do?"
"Well, when I first met Benly, I saw him with a guard," told Danny, "I don't think you guys got him a guard."
"Nope, we try not to baby Benly too much. He needs to get to the real world," told Jim, "alot of the schools baby Benly alot, it'd be nice for him to be friends with somebody who was blind himself."
"I guess," shrugged Danny as Benly, who knew his father this well, went to Danny.
"I think he found out, I could tell by his tone," whispered Benly in Danny's ear as his eyes widened.
"I'll be outside if you need me," told Martha as she closed the screen door.
"How'd you find out?" Asked Danny.
"I'm a detective, they way you were eating was like you had to smell it to know what it was. Since you wore contacts, points out you don't want anyone to know and judging by the way the school treats blind people says you don't like to be babied. You want to be treated as if you weren't blind," told Jim.
"He's good," said Danny.
"I know," said Benly.
"I promise I won't tell anyone and I'm glad there's a friend that understands exactly what my son's going through," smiled Jim.
"Well, I wasn't always like this, I used to be able to see my friends two weeks ago and then I ran into some toxic waste and then I couldn't see ever since. It took a day to learn to walk without my walker and two more to go around without anyone knowing I was blind. If I was treated as if I wasn't blind, then people won't have to baby me or any of that stuff," explained Danny.
"You know, if you told everyone after doing all the stuff you do, they won't baby you," told Jim.
"True," agreed Danny, "but better safe then sorry."
