The Pest

Present Day.

He just kept asking her many questions.

ï¿½You have a boyfriend?ï¿½

ï¿½Why?ï¿½

This wasnï¿½t the first day either.

ï¿½So, you from around this town?ï¿½

ï¿½Yes.ï¿½

He first approached her ten days before.

ï¿½So how old are you?ï¿½

ï¿½Sixteen.ï¿½

He found her at the pizza take-out place, waiting for her roommates.

ï¿½So can I have your phone number?ï¿½

ï¿½No.ï¿½

Since then, he wonï¿½t go away.

ï¿½What do you mean?ï¿½

ï¿½Why do you want my phone number?ï¿½

He manages to find her in almost every public place.

ï¿½To call you.ï¿½

ï¿½And why would I let you do that?ï¿½

Persistent boy, he was.

ï¿½Cause.ï¿½

ï¿½Cause why?ï¿½

She began to think that she had a stalker on her hands.

ï¿½I want to get to know you.ï¿½

ï¿½Really now?ï¿½

Lucky for her, he didnï¿½t exactly know where she lived. But long would that last?

ï¿½Yeah.ï¿½

ï¿½Uh-huh.ï¿½

Itï¿½s kind of annoying really.

ï¿½Come on, I really do!ï¿½

ï¿½Sure you do.ï¿½

Annoying like gum stuck to the bottom of her shoe.

ï¿½Look, at least tell me your name.ï¿½

ï¿½You want my name?ï¿½

She doesnï¿½t know how to handle him too well.

ï¿½Yes.ï¿½

ï¿½Fine then. Baby Doll. Itï¿½s Baby Doll.ï¿½

She doesnï¿½t know how to send him on his way from her for good.

ï¿½Baby Doll?ï¿½

ï¿½Yeah.ï¿½

Heï¿½s laughing at her.

ï¿½Really?ï¿½

ï¿½Yesï¿½ï¿½

She nodded as she said this.

ï¿½Okayï¿½ï¿½

ï¿½What? You donï¿½t believe me?ï¿½

He gave her a little shrug.

ï¿½I didnï¿½t say all of that.ï¿½

ï¿½Yeah rightï¿½ï¿½

Right then, she found the answer to this persistent, nagging problem to this boy.

ï¿½Really, I didnï¿½t say that!ï¿½

ï¿½Fine then. You want to know me so badly? Look up Suiten, October 15th, 2005.ï¿½

He gives her an odd look.

ï¿½Really now?ï¿½

ï¿½Yeah. Have fun.ï¿½

She walked away with a smile on her face. There, problem solved.

Or notï¿½
