LET'S GO!

~~~

When lunch was finally over, I sat up from my seat in the almost empty library and quietly left. I wish I could just stay in there, it was so quiet and peaceful. No one really ever went in there except some really introverted people like me.

Walking over to my locker to grab the things I needed, I feel someone staring at me. I wanted to see who it was but I didn't want to at the same time. Instead of looking back, I just walked faster until I finally reached my locker.

"Hey."

I slightly jump but soon realize whose voice it belonged to.

"Hey." I say before looking back at my locker and opening it.

"I didn't see you at lunch today." He says before leaning on the locker besides mine.

"I, uh, wasn't hungry." I lied.

I just didn't wanna be around people.

What's new?

"It's not good to starve yourself." Gabe says as I grab my stuff for my last class.

"I told you, I wasn't hungry." I lied again, but with a more stern voice now.

"This is the most I've heard you talk today." He chuckled.

I just shook my head lightly before shutting my locker and turning on my heel. He races next to me and I cautiously look up at him, he was staring in the distance. I started to question why he was following me so I stopped.

"Why are you following me?" I asked.

"Because I have no one else to walk with?" He chuckled again.

"Choose another person." I say before walking again.

"But what if I chose you?" He asks, running up to my side.

Something about what he said maybe me feel kind of flattered but also felt like he was messing with me so I didn't bother to give him a response.

"Why are you so quiet and stuff?" He asks as I approach my next class.

I just shrug my shoulders not wanting to give him my actual response. He sighs as he stuffs his hands in his pockets and leans by the door frame of my classroom door.

"Well, anyways. You riding bus later afterschool or walking home?" He asks.

I didn't know actually.

"I think I'm gonna walk." I wanted to be alone anyways.

"Okay. I'll walk with you!" He smiled.

No thanks.

"I-I'm fine." I shook my head lightly before walking into class.

I was suddenly stopped when I feel his hand gently grab my elbow and pulls me back out.

"C'mon, please?" He pouts like a child.

I wanted to roll my eyes because he kind of looked stupid.

"No." I shook his hand off. "You don't even know where I live."

"Yes I do." He smiled again. "You're my neighbor."

My jaw slightly drops as I repeat his words in my head.

"What?"

"Yup! So see you afterschool!" He chants before happily skipping away.

"Oh no."
