Helanie:
Norman and the others had to walk away to have a word with the council's head before I joined them.
I was sitting outside the court on the bench, staring at the pleasant weather when a few cars started pulling up.
I knew who they were.
Romeo and Darius walked out of their cars in suits as if they were headed to their weddings. That's when their eyes landed on me, and Darius stopped dead in his tracks.
I tried avoiding direct eye contact, but it seemed like he was beginning to walk in my direction. I squeezed my legs together, turning my face to the other side, yet he kept coming.
"Dude, no," I heard Romeo call after him and stop him, but Darius kept going until he came straight to me. Now I couldn't avoid him.
