chapter 4 , Allan Woods

...Allan Woods ...

She's trembling like a leaf.

Do I scare her ? I scare a lot of people, but never women ... they are usually attracted to me. What the fuck is wrong with this weirdo ?

Her eyes are closed shut, and she's glued to the corner. The space under the desk is already so cramped, is she trying to hide from me ? But I found her ... What is this nonsense !?

" Hey-" i try to reach out to her .

"Don't touch me. Don't touch me. Don't touch me." She repeats herself, as if she's praying rather than demanding or commanding like a normal person would.

She looks so tiny and fragile i could break her. But I can't . I need her to fix this shit.

" I won't hurt you. I won't touch you either. Just come out. Let's talk, I have been looking for you." Way too many words. I don't speak to strangers so much, to anyone, but it's not like I have another choice. I need to convince her.

She opens her eyes and looks at me.

progress.

she stops to tremble.

More progress.

" Do you promise ? "

This catches me off-guard.

" What ?"

"Not to hurt me. Touch me."

You've got to be kidding me. Do I look like a bad guy to her ? What does she mean 'promise' people never keep their promises? And that's a fact and reality.

" Promise."

it's not like I'm lying to her. I have no reason to do anything to her other than have her not die till the clock hits midnight.

She comes out from her hiding, though it was hardly any hiding at all and stands straight in front of me.

Such delicate features... She actually wouldn't be ugly if she dressed a bit better ... Took care of her hair and-

that's not what I'm here for damn it !

" Why were you looking for me ? We don't know each other."

Her demeanor changed. She's calmer now. Almost as if she has nothing inside her ... But that can't be right, she wouldn't have been afraid if she weren't filled. Maybe she's just filled too much ...

"I do know you. Bare minimum. Your name is Zara Quin. 17. Downtown high, class 1-E."

" That doesn't count as knowing someone." she sighs then continues, "leave it. Introduce yourself and then tell me why you were looking for me. Make it quick."

Her attitude changed completely. It doesn't feel as if the trembling leaf from before and the weirdo in front of me are the same person.

She's a weirdo for a reason.

" My name is Allan Woods. I'm looking for you because the lady said so."

She asked me to make it quick. And I did. I replied to her in two sentences answering both her questions.

I gave her my introduction and I stated the reason for why I was looking for her. then why is she looking at me like that?

What a weirdo .
