You can be amazing,
You can be the outcast,
You can be whatever your heart desires.
Just stop holding back.

Anna
"What the heck!" I mutter under my breath. I think this day is terribly going wrong for me.
It's Black. I mean Mr. Black.
He manages to see me even here, and now he's about to go where I am sitting right now.
I have to do something before he reaches me. Of course, I can't run. I don't wanna make some scene here.
I don't know. What I should do...
"Ahem." The guy. Right. I haven't thanked him from before, but —
"I'm so sorry, but I have to do this," I whisper. I just hope that the guy would be able to hear it.
I grab his right hand and let it cover my left hand on the table. It was like he's touching my hand like he's something like a - my boyfriend.
"What?" he whispers in confusion. He's totally confused about what I'm doing. I'm really sorry, but I need to do this, before he —
"There you are! Oh, Anna, please let's talk about it." Mr. Black is now at my side. Speaking of the monster.
"Let's fix it. We should talk." Mr. Black continues as I busy myself eating and enjoying my cheesecake. Oh, maybe I should try having a conversation with the guy to be more convincing.
"I can see that there's a lot of people here, so maybe you should just go with me. I have my car —"
"Babe, what do you think of seeing a movie later?" I abruptly speak. I look into the guy's eyes, and he's now totally shocked.
"It's what you're thinking, right? Well, that would be nice, really." I continue, I'm so ashamed. Really. What am I even saying? What am I doing?
"Hey, Anna, I'm talking to you, wait - is he, is he your...boyfriend?" he asked, shocked and dumbfounded. There you have it, Black.
"Anna, we should really talk, you know, I'm sorry, I was - I was not just thinking, and I'm sorry, I can't help it, I just -" I need to stop him talking right now, cause he's really getting some attention from the crowd.
"Babe, I'm sure you're confused about who he is and that you're trying to knock your head just to figure things out, and I'm sorry for that," I tell the guy, face down, of course. I can't lift my head and be that shameless person to lie and use a person for another lie.
"Anna -"
"But honestly, you should call the cops. Right now." I say and lift my head. I notice that he grips my hand in that manner.
"Anna, wait, what are you talking about? I'm just trying to talk to you -"
"Babe, please..." I plead, face down again. The tension is really in the air. Please...please, just, please...
"Yeah." he finally speaks. Thank you so much... I never thought that he would agree.
"Wait - Anna, I know we can get through this and that —" I don't want to hear it anymore. I just let my attention focus on the guy.
"Yes, is this the police? Yes, I need some help here. Yes, location? Oh, I'm at -" he suddenly looks at Mr. Black, more like a threatening look.
"Hold on! Anna, I'm just trying to talk to you. I'm sure you were just overreacting -"
