The two walked down the alley, the girl leading while the boy following. There was absolute silence, save for the stomping of the girl trying to get away and the padding of the boy trying to keep up. Each second he followed she was getting more and more mad. Eventually her brisk speed-walk turned into an anger-fueled sprint.
"H-Hey, slow down! I can't keep up if you-" She stopped, whirling around in a fury to face him.
"You're not supposed to keep up!" She started stomping over to him. "You're supposed to give up, you're supposed to realize that I don't want you here anymore!" The boy stared, shocked at first, but then put on a smile.
"You don't mean that, hun."
"Yes, yes I do. I don't want you in my life anymore. I want you to stop walking me to classes, I want you to stop chasing after me during lunch, I want you to stop messaging me, and I want you to STOP FOLLOWING ME." Her words stuck in the air making it colder and harder to breathe. His heart dropped along with his smile. She stood there, seething. The boy looked down, breaking eye contact.
"I-I'm sorry. I didn't mean to bother you so much... I just thought-"
"Well you thought wrong. Go away."
The boy hesitated, trying to meet her eyes but failing. He turned around and ran. Leaving her all alone in the alley.
