Androphobia (n) - fear of men.

I closed my eyes and felt an odd feeling. My blood rushed fast into my veins. It feels like I'm falling 100 yards below. The cold wind rushed through my hair. It made my eyes closed tighter as I let my body go through the flow.

As I landed on a soft and comfy surface, I bounced back in the air and never been back down. The gravity never brought me back down. I struggled hard to keep myself still. I wiggled my body to make it move downwards. Few more struggling and I finally made it to the ground.

I stood straight as I prepared for the possibilities of expectations that I might be facing a terrible danger or I might be somewhere in a middle of an unknown scary place. I opened my eyes slowly as a warm and bright light shone through my eyes. It was a bright and sunny day on a grassfield, where the butterfly beats its wings up and down so sharply it looks like it's under remote control, as if a tiny electrical current opens and shuts those vivid yellow blades. With legs that somehow stick, it holds the stem of the flower that is already passed its peak, petals blackened at the edges and curling. Perhaps it already knows the summer is fast becoming fall, that soon the leaves will tumble and the nights close in, chilly and short. I hope not. I hope it lives everyday with never a thought for the future or past. There is as much beauty in that as in its sunny hue.

As I admired the view, I heard some footsteps, making the grass rustle.

"Hey Catriona!" A guy with a curly dark brown hair called me. Stammering, he muttered, "I-i just wanted to tell you that-" He never got a chance to finish his sentence when another guy blocked him away from me, and puts a flower up to my face, making me sneeze. "Oh sorry..." he apologized shyly.

I'm so confused about what is happening. I looked up on his face and upon on my observation, he is a nerdy and shy type guy. Until I heard a footsteps behind me.

I turned around quickly. I saw another guy with a strikingly metallic blue eyes that hypnotized me. He smirked to me, and it feels like I wanted to rip his beautiful face off of his body.

"Hey ya wanna go out with me?" he said with a sexy tone, which is annoying to me.

I walked away as soon as possible. And what's more? I've heard some voices calling my name behind me, and not trying to mention the hoarse pounding sound like they're running in a horse racing.

They were running right after me.

Wait what?

They're chasing me?!

My blood pressured, my heart was beating so fast, my chest is rising up and down.

Srsly, WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE?!

They were like a zombie runnin' after me. I panicked. My feet started to move on its own. I run away as fast as I could. A cold sweat fell on my forehead. As they got nearer, ground is shaking rapidly, as if a earthquake was on the Intensity of seven.

"Ona!!!"

"Wait!"

They called my name desperately. These creeps still chasing after me.
