Chapter 21: Helping?
After school,
He ran to me.
"Hey, you busy?" He asked.
I continued to walk without stopping.
He kept pace with me.
"If your not busy, why not get some food?"
I stopped.
" I am busy. Go away," I replied and started to walk again.
" Why don't I help you this time?" He inquired.
"Why do you have to be so stubborn? I said I'm busy and I don't need you help!" I almost shouted.
He stopped and so did I.
"Why are you mad?"
"Why do you have to bother me!? I never asked you to care! So quit bothering me!"
He looked at me with a surprised face. Once again, he me a sad look.
But this time it was different,
As if I pierced his heart with a knife after telling him he could trust me.
"Sorry..."
"Guess what, 'sorry' won't cut it. Just leave me alone," I told him in a softer voice.
He looked up.
"What if I don't want to?" He said seriously.
All I could think about was,
'What!? Don't want to leave me alone? He doesn't even know me!?'
I turned my back on him and walked away.
