Vernon could see a van following him closely behind while he was simply walking down the street.

He figured they were tailing him to try and find some information regarding his personal life or something fishy. Sometimes reporters will track his every move thinking that he'd go to a casino and gamble, buy drugs, or smoke illegal substances.

"I just want to go to my friend's house in peace..." Vernon muttered to himself as he continued to walk down the street, keeping a side-eye on the car that has now stopped a block behind him.

He could hear the door of the car open and that's when he knew they were going to start following him while pretending to be normal citizens who were headed the same way. Even with his black hood, sunglasses, and a mask, it would still be easy to recognize him.

Vernon didn't want to disclose the location of his friend's house to other people because it was his private life. It was his first time going to his friend's house too, they might mistake his friend as a girlfriend depending on who might open the door: him, his mother, or his sister.

Vernon could hear the footsteps of the nosy reporters or journalists who invade his private life just to try and expose some juicy article to the public.

"Excuse me," Vernon turned around to the two. From the looks of it, there was one girl and one guy. "Are you following me?"

He tried to remain calm.

The older and rounder man stepped up. "No, we're not. We were on our way to get some coffee and decided to take a walk instead."

'That won't fool me.' Vernon thought. Vernon moved to the side of the sidewalk, gesturing for them to go on first. "Then you guys can go ahead first, I don't want to block your way. Plus, I don't have any business that way."

The man was speechless and stood still. Vernon strode past them as calmly as possible.

"Actually, I think I left my phone in the car-"

Vernon ran at the speed of light, in the opposite direction of his friend's house. He didn't know how he was supposed to get away from them and to his friend's house with such people following him.

Vernon clutched his headphones and phone in his hands as he ran, hoping to find somewhere to hide, some way to disguise himself as a normal person.

After filling up more than 3 buckets of strawberries from your backyard, you were now moving to your front yard. You grabbed another white bucket and began to pick the strawberries in your front yard.

"Gosh, I might as well give some to the bunnies and squirrels that always try to take them..." You told yourself as you bent down to pick the strawberries with your gloved hands.
