She doesn't let go. Which is surprising.
But I need to. I can't keep doing these things. I don't like her!

I move my hand away. She just leaves her hand dangling there.
I look up at her and she's asleep on her desk. I caused this. I pack my stuff up and shove it into my bag. I stand up in the middle of class and leave.

"Brennan come back!", my teacher screams.
But do I listen? No. Brennan Donnelly does not listen.

I leave the school grounds and head on home. I pull out my cigarettes and light one. I haven't done this in a while, but it feels good. I feel like being bad today.

I run towards town and towards the supermarket. Im starving, I have no food, I have no money, but I brought a big black jacket and a beanie. I put the beanie on and head inside.

I grab the food and a drink that I want and then head out the door. The alarm goes off so I make a run for it. I run straight towards the woods by my house. I run across the road and into the woods. I keep running and running and don't stop.

I come to a halt infront of a stream, so I decide to sit down and have something to eat.
Then I hear foot steps running up behind me. I have to keep running. I pick my food up  and keep on running between the woods.

I can see my house in the distant. I can't stop now. I keep running.

I'm just about at my house when I trip over a tree root sticking out of the ground. My ankle twists one way but my body twists the other way. I scream out in pain. I still hear the footsteps behind me and they are getting closer.

"DONT HURT ME I-"
"Brennan, why would you do that?"

I roll over to look at who is talking to me.
"Annie!?"
