my eyes trailed to the guy's face as he was standing there, hands in his pockets, where a small pout was plastered on his face. i was a bit lost on what to say but then i snapped out of my faze. quickly, i walked towards him and gave him the scarf.

"this isn't mine, so please stop giving me useless things that i do not plan to wear," i said to him. i gave a stern glare before turning on my heels and walking away back home.

"hey, wait!" his voice called out again. i hear the fastening of his feet before he stopped in front of me again. "why are you being so rude to me?" he asked suddenly. i stood there shocked slightly surprised he would ask that. but i was being rude, weren't i?

i breathed in and exhaled out before speaking. "i just don't see why you trying to give me the scarf when clearly i do not want it," i told him.

the guy stood there slightly embarrassed as he looked at the ground a few times before he held the scarf at his side. "sorry," he softly said. almost at that moment, i felt bad for being so rude. but i couldn't let my guard down just so easily like that. i looked at the guy before speaking up once more.

"i'm sorry, but i need to get home. so, uh, good day to you," i said to him. and with that said, i walked passed him until suddenly a hand grasped my wrist. i wasn't used to the feeling of being touched by someone like this. i turned my head to see it was him who held onto my wrist. "hey! let go of–"

"will you go out with me?" he asked. my eyes widened as i tried my best to escape from his grasp. "are you crazy? go out with you?!" i screamed.

he leaned in closer this time his body close against mine as so was his face, causing me to shut up. he looked into my eyes. "well, if you won't give me an answer, at least give me a name?"

i pushed him away from me as it became harder to breathe, and his grasp on my wrist loosened. "like heck i would tell you my name. so you can stalk me more?! sTRANGER dAnGEr!!!!"

his hand suddenly clamped over my mouth preventing me from making any noise, and my worried eyes began to widen thinking this dude was crazy and that he probably was going to rape me. i could smell the light scented cologne on him and his eyes looked down at me.

"i promise. i won't hurt you."
