Ficlets

Pt. 7 encounter

I walked through the parking lot about to slam my skateboard on the pavement when I heard yelling. I looked to my left and saw Anna and her cheap boy toy. He was yelling at her, getting in her face and in front of everyone. I paused. What do I do? Do I try to help? Do I ignore it? I chose the latter and put my board down. She doesn’t need my help anyway, she has Emmett. Just then I heard her yell “Let go of me!” Emmett had her by the arm and slammed her against his hummer. That’s it. I had to make a stand now.
“Emmett!” I yelled.
“What do you want, newby?” Emmett replied, the typical cocky smirk on his face.
“Leave her alone.” I said, trying to sound brave.
“Don’t tell me how to deal with my cat.” he responded.
My fists clenched. I wanted to ring his neck right there, despite the fact he was almost twice my size. Anna pulled free from Emmett’s grasp and walked toward me quickly.
“Jerk,” she said to herself as she hugged me. Wow, didn’t expect that.
She looked up at me, “can you walk me home?”
