scarecrow

Last April 20, 2012 6:45 pm on the clock. My stomach aches, my mouth is dry. I want to eat and drink a lot. So I decided to go out and went to shopper’s mart to buy any affordable yet fulfilling dinner. As I walked inside I saw a boy, about ten to twelve years old, wearing a blue shirt and brown short. He was behind an old lady, probably his grandmother, and looking around the store. I don’t why but I felt like he was looking at me too. So I change my direction and went straight to the cookies section. I really like cookies and it’s hard for me to decide what to buy. Suddenly, the boy walked in front of me and stopped. I was now behind him. At his age, he is taller than me. He looks at the cookies and change his stare towards me. I feel awkward. Why would he stare at me like that? After a while, he slowly stretches his hand and touched my arms by his finger. I was shocked and ashamed. What’s with this boy? His expression change as soon as he realize what he had done and instantly turn around and run. Strange it was but still I can’t help but to feel guilty about what had happened. I feel like he wanted to say something but I just looked at him with a poker face. If only I have given him my smile maybe, just maybe he will not be scared. As I remember this incident, it makes me realize how my life was during these past days, weeks and months. I know, I’d become selfish and forgot what’s more important. I become a total stranger and scare all the people around me, most especially the people who loves me much. I may not be able to change easily but at least I know something for sure. I need something better… I need to be better…
