One day I was walking down the school sidewalk with my friend Layla to go to our cars. Then James' car rolled up, and he wasn't even at school that day or for the last nine. He rolled down his window and a man yelled pointing a shotgun, "Get in the car now! Or die!" I didn't even hesitate, but Layla pulled me back. "Kali are you crazy!" she whispered. "Don't get in that car." "I have to or I die, and tell everyone I love them." I said on the verge of crying. I got in the backseat of the car with tears in my eyes as I saw Layla panicking and crying. I looked over and there was James, but his eyes were filled with insanity and they were bloodshot, and I almost thought I saw him drool blood. "Hey baby." He said, voice raspy as he rubbed his hand up my leg. I started to feel extremely uncomfortable from there. "What do you want James!" I yelled. The man stopped the car abruptly, pointing the shotgun at my head. "You're not allowed to do anything or talk at all unless commanded, understand!" The man yelled at the top of his lungs. "Ye.. Ye.. Yes sir." I stuttered. He started on again, "I'm going to ask you some questions and you're gonna answer with truth, understand." He said. "Yes sir." I said as I looked behind me to see my beautiful friends in the distance crying for me. I knew I was leaving my world behind and entering another universe. "So, Kali, do you really  like James?" The man asked. James' eyes were getting wide as the suspense went on without my answer. I was thinking really hard on if I liked him or not, because I still dream about him even though we're in the seventh grade now, I still think about him. "Yes, I do like him." I said with a tint of fear in my voice. James and the man were happy to hear that. "Do you want to leave your world behind to be with him?" He asked. I thought about this too, I just knew these questions were going relating to our relationship. "Yes." I said. "Will you?" He asked. "Yes." I said. "Well, I would've said 'too bad' if you said no, and you would've died because you're going to with us no matter what. And I'm not telling you what's happening until later. But anyways, how is your relationship status?" He asked. "Um, well, we're friends. I guess." I said. "Well, you guys are going to be WAY more than friends when we're done with you. But we haven't exactly decided when we're going to be done with you." He laughed. James sat there looking me up and down. Oh god, I'm probably going to have to marry  James, or even worse, have a child!
