"Damn ! Shit !" I jump up immediately as soon as I realise that there's a girl lying beside me and she is clinging on my arm.
She opens her eyes. "I'm sorry that I surprised you. I'm Veronica."
I shake my head and take a step back from her. "What were you doing beside me ?" I scream. "What the hell did you do ?"
She sits up. "I just saw you alone so I came here to keep you company."
"I need no company. Thank you for caring so much about my own business !" I turn and walk away. Jesus ! She should feel bless for I don't plan to kill her.
"Your suit stains with grass." She says as she pats on my suit.
Of course I jerk away instantly. "What do you think you are doing ? Don't fucking touch me !" Yes, I have already realised that I speak plenty of horrible words whenever I feel insecure or angry.
She looks at me with those wide open eyes. "I'm just..."
"I DON'T CARE !" I growl. "GET AWAY FROM ME !"

I don't know where to go, but definitely not staying here. This place is hell. It isn't like hell. It is hell. I should have just stayed at home like I used to do when Dennis went to parties. I don't belong to here. My heart is beating out of my chest whenever I'm crowded by people. I feel nervous and naked. Why do Dr. Luis, Mum, and Dennis think I should get socialised. This will never happen ! People are beasts ! I have gone out of Diana family's estate. At least I think so. I'm walking by the roadside in the dark alone. I don't know where I'm heading and I don't care. All I should do is leave this place as far as possible. Did that girl just touch me ? I shouldn't keep thinking of this. It freaks me out. Was she coming with a knife ? Was she coming to drug me ? Was she planning to suffocate me while I was resting ? Was she going to push me into the bushes and slash my throat ? Was she--

"Oscar !"
A voice calls me and a car approaches. I can see two beams of headlight. Oh great ! It's all so perfect now. I'm starring a damn Hollywood blockbuster ! There are someone coming to make me their hostage ! I don't want to die. Well...maybe a little, but not in this way ! The only thing I can do now is run as fast as I can just like the song. "Baby, run. Cut the path across the blue sky..." No ! It's night time now. I need to run fast just as Dylan O'Brien does in The Maze Runner.
"Oscar ! Stop running !"
The car is getting near, but I can't give up. Yeah. Tell me to stop running. To the hell with it. It's just like telling a person who has bitten by a poisonous snake to calm down.
"Fuck ! Stop it, Oscar ! Get your ass into the car !" That is Dennis's voice.
Thank God ! It's my brother. He's coming to save my wrecking life. The car is now a few feet in front of me. I walk toward it and sit in the passenger seat, panting hard. "Home ! Home !" I say.
"Of course we are heading back home." There's a voice coming from the backseat.
No ! Lord ! Why HE is in the car ? I feel like something crawling up my spine. "Wh...why are yo...you here ?" I'm still panting. I'm panting with great fear.
