Mystery: Something that is difficult or impossible to understand or explain.

The next day was much the same as the day before. Being called a freak. Listening to ridiculous rumours. Only, there was a new boy who arrived. His name is Sam. He tried to speak to me. I ignored him, well did my best to. It was hard. He followed me around, he sat under the tree at break, and talked and talked. I didn't speak, just pretended not to listen.
He would not leave me alone.
I wanted to ask him why. But I can't. I need to keep my head down and ears open. I'm not bothering anyone but he's bothering me. I must stay quiet.

Walking home after school. He was next to me. Sam was walking next to me! I panicked and started to walk faster. So did he. He grabbed my wrist to slow me down. I flinched. All I saw was him.
"Hey, hey. I'm not going to hurt you." He said in a calming voice.
He let go of my wrist. I ran. As fast as I could to get home.
