First Encounter
I was walking on the school corridor when someone approached me.
"Hey Lewis." A guy that I never met in my life just approached me.
I removed my earphones then look at him.
"Who are you?" I asked.
A men nearby were suddenly shout as if they were make fun of the guy who approached me.
The guy in front of me smile shyly at me. I saw his ear turn red.
"Aaaahm.. I-I was just want to k-know if you are free l-later?" He stuttered.
"I'm sorry but yes. I have plan later." I turned him down without hesitation.
After that, I put back may earphone and listen to Taylor Swift's Look what you made me do.
I'm a fan of her since day 1. Every story that was told in her songs was just so beautiful.
"Wait." I felt someone hold me on my elbow.
"What?" I asked him with irritation on my voice.
"I'm sorry but how about tomorrow?" He said. I can hear hopeful in his voice.
I really hate when someone just approached me on the street. Especially when I don't know that someone.
Instead to turned him down again I get his cellphone that he is holding and typed my number then click call.
I heard my cellphone ring before I ended the call from his phone.
"Wait for my call." I told him.
I actually don't have any plan to call or txt him. I just want him to stop chasing me.
I walked again until I reached the gate of our university. I wear my hoody and continue to walked on the side walk.
Still listening on the song, I walk on the sidewalk when a group of men in their black suit nearby.
I almost cursed on my breath when I saw them coming to me.
I run on the opposite side. I run as fast as I could. I put my bag in froont and hold it tightly.
How come that they found me. I run out of breath until I saw a very narrow pathway. I immediately turned on that pathway, I smell a very not inviting smell on this pathway.
It makes me want to vomit. But, when I saw them so close to me I jumped on the mountain of garbage just to hide. I was holding my breath, scared that they might hear that little sounds of my breathing.
"Nasaan na siya?" Where is she?
"Wala bang nakakita?" No one saw here?
I try to hold my breath longer.
"Sa palagay ko nakatakas na siya." I think she already escaped.
"Mga bobo! Hanapin niyo." i***t! Find her.
I heard the loud shout of their leader.
I heard their footstep running far from my place. That is the time when I let my deep breathe.
"Oh my god." I said.
I thank god for not letting them caught me. The bad smell are all over my clothes and body.
"Ewww."
While removing garbage that stick on my clothes I shouted on the top of my lungs when someone grab me on my arms.
"Oh my god! Let go of me! Let go!" I used my all forced just to escaped to his hands.
"No." I said breathless. "Please, let me go." I felt my tears rushing down my face.
I was scared that he is one of those men who is finding me. I don't want to go back. I don't want to get caught. I want to live my life on my own decision.
My life my rules.
"Don't shout." He whispered on my ear.
"B-but—"
"Sssshhhh."
He stopped me from talking and pulled me somewhere.
