I locked myself in the bathroom. Hailey kept knocking on the door and asking if I was okay. But I didn't want to go outside.
I hoped and hoped that I was having a nightmare. But the more I pinched myself the more realized that it was real.
-
Tyler and I ignored each other at school. He actually left me alone and I found myself thinking that maybe this wasn't so bad after school.
Until he cornered me after school.
"So. We're neighbours." He said. I gulped.
"Why can't you just leave me alone?"
"Where's the fun in that?"
I made a rude hand gesture and shoved him aside. I stormed away as fast I could. I heard his footsteps behind me and realized he was following me.
"STOP FOLLOWING ME!" I yelled, turning around. He frowned.
"Technically I'm not following you, we're going to the same place."
"Take another road."
"Its shorter this way."
"I don't care."
"I don't care if you care."
I gave a yelled out in annoyance. He rolled his eyes and walked past me. I couldn't do anything else other than follow him.
"You know what? We should just be friends." Tyler stated after a while.
I sent him a death glare, "Never."
"So you want me to bully you?"
"No. I just want you to leave me alone."
"So let's be friends, then I'll stop bothering you."
"I don't want to be your friend." I snapped.
"Why?" He asked.
"Cuz you're annoying."
"Alright, how about this...I'll help you out in physics if you let me be your friend?"
I thought for a minute, "Why do you want to be my friend so bad?"
He turned a little bit red, "I don't. I'm just sick of fighting with you all the time."
I stopped walking and stared at him.
"I offered help too alright?? Don't you want to pass your tests?!" He yelled out.
"Ok. Fine."
A small smile crept up his face, but he quickly wiped it off.
-
"Who was that guy?" Hailey asked when I got home.
"Tyler."
Hailey looked taken aback, "OMG, Robby is he stalking you? Are you okay? Do I need to make a complain?!" She shouted, grabbing my shoulders.
"I'm okay Hals, don't worry. He's um...He wanted to be my friend."
"All of a sudden?" She asked. I shrugged.
"Alright then...You be careful okay?" She said, "Dont trust everyone."
