In The Dark

"Hey! You're cute."

I stop dead in my tracks, surprised that he even spoke to me.

"Um... Thanks, I guess." I reply, keeping my head down to avoid eye contact.

"How about giving me your number?" He chuckles, setting his guitar in its case and taking a step towards me.

"No offence, but I don't think you're my type" I say, slightly annoyed that my walk had been interrupted, before turning to walk away.

Before I can go anywhere though he grabbed ahold of my wrist. "C'mon, now" he retorts.

It was at this moment I realized that, clearly, being nice isn't going to work with this guy: He's insanely persistent.
Instead, I decide to go for seeming stuck up, that always seems to turn people off when they won't leave me alone.
"Listen man, I'm a trainee who's on the verge of debut and you're some loser busking on a street corner at 2:30 a.m. on a Tuesday. I think I'm a bit out of your league."
That should be enough to get him to leave me alone so I can get home in peace.

He doesn't seem to be turned off, instead, he seems to be getting frustrated, almost angry. Oh god. What did I do?

"Look kid, I don't know who you think you are, but I don't mean any harm. Come with me to the bar around the corner and I'll buy you a drink."
Sounds less like an offer and more like a demand.

"Why would I go anywhere with you? Just let me leave please. I'm not interested." I respond.
I slowly exhaled as he finally released my wrist, and I turned to walk away and before I knew it, I felt something hard hit the back of my head, and everything went black..
