The sun had already set when we started to walk home from the restaurant we had just eaten at.

The cold breeze that, so now and then flew by, made the tip of my nose together with my cheeks become a light shade of red. I enjoyed the cold breeze blowing through my hair, touching the tips of my ears, making them turn red too.

The streets were quiet, aside from the chatting coming from my two best friends. Although it was mostly Betty. She was busy deciding who the hottest boy in our school was. MJ just listened and occasionally hummed in agreement or nodded along.

"Oh right! MJ what about Brad?! He's got a great body, doesn't he?"
Betty beamed in excitement as she started talking about MJ's so called crush. MJ had never even talked about the dude before but Betty exclaimed she could see the way MJ "looked" at him.

The teasing tone in Betty's voice made MJ roll her eyes while she let out an annoyed huff at the same time.

"I don't really pay attention to him or his /body/ for that matter."
MJ emphasised the word 'body' annoyingly as she looked away from Betty and me. That only seemed to prove Betty's point more as she started to squeal in excitement.

"MJ you liar! I can see that blush from miles away!"
Betty said with excitement.

"I'm not blushing. It's just very cold."
MJ stated as she very obviously tried to hide her red cheeks and ears.

"Also don't squeal like that, I like being able to hear."
She continued trying to change the subject.

"Stop denying it! We are your best friends, just tell us!"
Betty said with a pout.

"Betty stop pushing MJ."
I stepped in when I started noticing MJ was getting genuinely uncomfortable.

"Maybe she really doesn't like Brad and if she does than let her do whatever she wants with her crush."
I continued in support of MJ.

"You two are no fun."
Betty huffed and the pout in her face turned just a little bit more angry.

"Come on Betty, I bet she'll tell us when she's ready."
I reasoned but Betty didn't seem to care, she really wanted to know whether MJ liked Brad or not.

I decided to just stay quiet so that the conversation about this wouldn't continue. It got quiet as we walked further and reached the point where we had to split our ways.

We slowed down in front of the two different paths which went the opposite way of each other.

"Anyways, I need to go this way."
I said as I nudged my head in the direction of the street on my right.

"Right."
Betty said looking over at MJ since they had to continue walking together and they had just gotten a bit upset with each other.

Both of them sighed as they walked over to me to give me a quick hug. Then they told me to text them when I got home so they knew I was safe. I told them not to worry about it too much but I would send them a text anyway.

We split our ways which meant I had to walk all by myself in the dark. Definitely not scary at all.. haha..

Even though I had walked here before in the dark this street just had an oddly amount of scary alleys, which always had different but weird and scary people in it. Today was no different.
