The Different One

Good Friends

I was walking on the way home. I couldn't afford to ride the taxi today because I spent my money for that stupid handout. Its almost 8 and no one is at the road except me which gives me chills. I could only hear my own footsteps. But suddenly I heard a hard, loud footstep behind me so I walked faster. I can hear the foosteps coming nearer. I feel terrified and I could feel a cold tear dripping from my eyes.

"Hey." I heard someone shout. I stopped. Then a hand fell on my shoulder. I was shocked and instantly swing my fist on the person's face.

"Ow! What the hell?!" He said.

"Barells?!. I mean Kris Barren what are you doing here?!" I asked.

"Im sorry. I thought you were a theif so I did a self defense. And why the fuck are you even here?"

"I live on an apartment along this road and I saw you walking so I followed you and thought maybe we could walk together." He replied.

"Oh. Ok. Well, im sorry again." I said. But then im not really sorry cuz its still his fault.

"You hit me pretty hard for a girl to be doing that." You sexist motherfucker. What does he think? Girls dont know to punch? Screw him

"So uhm. Where do you live?" He asked.

"I live near the Marley's Diner." I said. "I always eat there. Like all the time." He said. "Nice" i respond not to be rude but really, i dont give a damn.

"Its late. Why are you walking alone?" He asked. "I spend my money for the handouts in History. So I have to walk." I replied.

"Where's your friend? Uhm, what's her name? Ace?"

"Aziana. She went out to eat with Janine and didn't even invite me." I explained. "We could go out and eat if you want to." He said. "Its already late and I didn't have money with me. That's why im walking, remember?" I said. "I'll be the one to pay the bill. And the taxi." He said.

"You barely know me. What if you didn't know that i'm a ninja, or a murderer, or a witch or a villain." I said. "Are you?" He chuckled. "No. But I wish I was. I wish I was a ninja, that has a dragon and has a castle made of marshmallows." I said. "And an army of trolls and ogres." He added. So im guessing this guy is a geek. "So tomorrow? After school? Dont worry, i'll pay all the things." He said. I smiled and said "Okay." I just cant say no. Its free food and free ride. He doesnt seem to be creep. I think i can trust this guy.
