When I turn the corner he comes running after me and then walks beside me. I walk faster and so does he so I turn and look at me and say, "What do you want? Can't you just leave alone you're like an annoying fly." He grins and then teasingly says, "Where there's flies there's good food hey." I narrow my eyes and then he bites his lip and says, "Sorry that was, um... So you going home?" "What?Wait are you stalking me? You creep you are!" I say looking at him and walking faster. "What? No!" He says turning red and putting his hands in his jeans pockets. "Then why are you following me?" I ask seeing my house grow closer. "Damn there is definitely something wrong with you, you're not very friendly can't a guy just come to say hey?" he says looking at me with a grin. Haven't you heard of the, "Don't talk to strangers thing" I say rolling my eyes. "Hey but we ain't strangers you know me I know you," he says. "I don't have to talk to you and you don't have to talk to me okay," I say walking to our doorstep. He laughs while standing on the sidewalk and then says," So you want me to avoid you huh? " I turn around and look at him while saying, "Yah, why is that so hard for you ?" He smiles which makes his eyes looks smaller and brighter and then he says laughing, "Yep that's going to be real hard." "Why is that," I say quite irrated and then he puts his hands at the back of his hands and then says, "Because we're neighbors." My eyes grow wide and then he smiles and turns around walking in the house across from ours. As he gets to the door he turns around looks at me waves and I shake my head and turn around going inside as quickly as possible.
