"hi, pangga." he called out as i was walking. "anong pangalan mo?"
i walked past.
"bakit ka takot? wag ka matakot. gusto ko lang makipagkilala."
i stopped and turned to shove him against the gate he was leaning on. he, easily being the stronger one between the two of us, had me by the wrists. i smiled as my bracelets bit into my skin.
"you know, i never understand why you all seem to think that i'm scared when i deem it beneath me to pay attention to some strange man standing in the dark, calling out to little girls."

"and what's worse is, i've payed you more attention than you're worth and you don't even understand."
with that i pulled away, and continued walking home.
hubris will be my downfall. i don't know why i'm so angry.
