It's taken me a few days to try and understand what happened. I saw you, Uncle Zane. Felix and I went to pick up our uniforms and I saw you. At first I thought it was dad, but then I saw your signature smirk plastered on your face. The smirk you display when you're being cheeky or slightly mischievous. But you didn't notice us. You didn't know we were there. No. You were following a girl. I don't think she knew you were right on her tail.
I had a weird feeling about it. And just as she was about to walk down the alleyway, I shouted your name. I almost screamed it, not even knowing how scared I was for this girl. I had no reason to believe that you had bad intentions, just the awful gut wrenching feeling that overcame my whole being as I saw your sinister-like ego creep closer to her.
The girl heard the scream. She noticed you then and, of course, frowned then sped off. You, on the other hand, weren't very happy. I don't think you even grasped that it was me for a full 5 seconds. In those 5 seconds, the look on your face, I think, will haunt me forever. It was scary. Your face seemed to deform in a way that made you slightly unrecognisable. It was like you would have killed whoever it was that disturbed you. Once you saw that it was us, you sort of awkwardly waved then walked on. What was that all about?
What were you going to do? The thoughts that have been entering my mind for the past few days have scared me. None of which even remotely share any of your characteristics. So that makes it so confusing. Maybe I have read too much into it. Maybe nothing was going to happen. Maybe I saw things that weren't there. You might have been simply smiling. Perhaps just admiring the girl, I know men do that a lot. It's just the feelings that were shoved into my gut were crazy and nothing like I had felt before.
Felix kept on asking loads of questions about what the hell happened, but I had no answers. He's only 10 years old so I couldn't exactly tell him that I thought you were going to attack that girl. Besides, if you weren't going to do that and your intentions were pure, then telling Felix would have been pointless. So I'm keeping it to myself. But I think next time we see each other I will ask you.
Over the past few days I've seen my friends a couple of times which I missed so much. Spending time with all four of us together (me, Tilly, Harley, and Esme) is just so amazing. We're like the 3 musketeers but there are 4 of us. I told them about what happened with Fin and they all gave me kind advice: I've never had a boyfriend so therefore I was just incredibly nervous. I'll get over it basically. I can't wait to go back to school on Monday and be with them all the time.
I'm just so not happy with what I saw, Uncle Zane. I sound so condescending right now, I know. It doesn't change the fact that you were definitely a bit sketchy.
I think I'm going to try to talk to mum about it anyway. You two have seemed close in the past and it's only since the break up that you've grown apart, just like us, I guess.
I will get answers, Uncle Z. Bye.
