I saw Eric in the parking lot, he was analyzing the damage of his car. Zinky's word echoed through my mind and I walked in his direction. When he saw me, he scrunches his face and went inside his car and drove away. Rude grumpy face.

I cannot believe, he actually drove that car! Poor Eric! How embarrassing it was for him to drive a black car with pink butterflies and 'Ella is the best' written all over it. His bad, that's what he gets for messing with my car.

Dad picked me up from school. He was still mad at me for breaking his 'Baby girl's' eyes (headlights). "Dad, did you took my car to repair shop?" I asked knowing that he won't answer at the first time. His eyes were on the road and had a flat look on his face. "Oh, come on! It was not my fault! Why are you still mad at me?" I whined. I don't like it when someone gives me silent treatment.

"I'm mad cause you didn't take care of my precious baby girl properly." He said in a stern voice. It's not a good time to talk. Drive to the home was silent. Him being mad at me and I in thoughts of what Zinky said.

I couldn't sleep at night because I slept after school. So, I decided to take a walk. I was walking on a path all alone at midnight because I love to take a walk and doing this relaxes me.

I was just wondering around, until I saw a guy in a hoodie. He was beating the pulp out of another guy and one more man was on the ground, he is not moving. I gasped wide eyed. 'Is he dead?' Or he could be unconscious, yeah 'el' he is just unconscious not dead. Duh!

Who would kill a guy? As I was proceeding with my thoughts, that hoodie guy turned his face towards me. My heart had a Minnie heart attack. I turned my heels to the opposite direction and started to run to save my life from that hoodie guy. 'Run Ella, run for your life' was what my mind was screaming to me. I took turns without thinking, now that guy started to following me and guess what? I took a wrong turn and which ended up being a dead end. 'You are so dead' I thought.

So, I started to think what I said last time to people I love the most 'Good night mom, love you.' to MA. 'Stop annoying me, I'm going to bed.' to dad which also means I love you. 'See you later Lu, love you.' to Luana. Okay, my good byes said I love them all. Now I can die in peace. Granddad I'll meet you soon in the heaven, if you are there. I was still in my deep thoughts until I saw his silhouette. As, he get closer, my heart begin to race faster. I closed my eyes until I heard him say "Ella?" Did I hear it right?

O to the M to the G, this person actually knows me. I opened my one eye and saw him due to the small light hanging in that alley "Errrrr'ick!" I squeaked and mentally face palm myself, even at this state I'm calling him Errr'ick. "I'm sorry your highness, what can I do for you?" I squeaked again while trembling. I never took him for a murderer.

The next second I heard his laughter. He was rolling on the floor, actually rofling. Or maniac, I swear it's the laughter before he slaughter me, please god save me!

I was glaring at him but I realized that l am not in a position to glare. So, I made puppy dog face for him to spare my little life. He stopped but after he saw my face, he started to laugh again.

He tried to say between his guffaw "You..... your face .....was epiccc!" He started to gasp for air and had tears in his eyes. I gulped and realised he was just making fun of me that kind of good news, but.

But now my hands are itching to kill him and I can hide his body in the garbage bag sitting beside me and no one will know about it, as the ally is empty. I know it will be hard to put his body in the garbage bag as he is heftier than me. But I can do this to save this planet from a grumpy face, can't I?

Eric is still laughing; I took it as a chance to escape and started to walk away. I heard his footsteps behind me. Ugh! He is following me, again? I was thinking of sparing him, but he himself wanted it. I spun to punch him but he grabbed my hand and pulled me into the dark alley while placing one hand on my mouth.
