When we arrived at the park, everyone hopped out the car with joyful faces. Marco, Tim, and Lindsey ran towards the play set while I led Fiona to the slides. I sat down on a bench where I could see all of the kids from, then started reading a book that I had brought. I occasionally looked up to see what the kids were doing. Half an hour later I looked up to see Lindsey talking happily to a boy about her age. I watched them carefully and then ran towards them once I saw the boy grab Lindseys hand after they had sat down at another bench.
"Excuse me, but who are you?" I asked the boy harshly.
"I should be asking you the same question lady." He said with an annoyed look on his face.
"I am the person in charge of making sure that this girl stays safe." I said.
"Don't worry, I'm fine." Lindsey said, smiling at me innocently.
"What's your name?" I asked the boy.
"My name's Zach." He said rudely.
"Well Zach, I will have to politely ask you to not talk to Lindsey or hold her hand. I don't think that you are the kind of person that Lindsey should be friends with."
"Hey! Calm down lady! I ain't doing anything wrong here!" Zach said angrily.
"I don't care what you're doing. I want you to get away from Lindsey right now!" I said in a demanding voice. Zach gave me a deadly glare before walking away.
"Hey! Why'd you tell him to go?" Lindsey said angrily.
"Lindsey, I suggest making more wise friends." I said softly. She stormed off towards the swings, then sat down on a swing with an angry look on her face. Sometimes kids can be really difficult to handle!
