Claud Faust

The next day

Claud woke up convincing himself that it was just another lousy day.

But it was not.

Claud remembered what happened yesterday.

Anna: So no one likes you huh?
Claud: It’s none of your business.
Anna: Pardon me but I think I know why.
Claud: Listen here lady you don’t know me and you don’t want to go near me so go chat on a tree and leave me alone!

Claud left without saying a word.

Claud’s mind was troubled. Somehow he was guilty of what he said to Anna. She was just being nice to him and she was the first person that ever was.

At school, things were the same. Nobody wants to be near him and he was still alone.
He proceeded to his locker and grabbed some stuff when somebody poked him from behind. He was surprise to see that it was Anna smiling at him greeting him gently saying:

“Hey Claud going to class now?”

Claud didn’t answer and just gave a deep stare.
Claud: What do you want?
Anna: Nothing, you’re going to class right?
Mind if I walk with you?
Claud: No. Stop bugging me and just leave me alone.
Anna: You’re still all Mr. “leave me alone” and stuff?

Claud turned to look at Anna and said:

Claud: Look. What do you want from me?
Claud: Why are you so good and all?
I don’t care if you’re all Ms. Pity and stuff but I don’t need it so go pity some wounded dog out there instead.

Anna gave Claud a glare.

Anna: I can see that you’re lonely.
Claud: This is nonsense.
Claud: I am warning you. You don’t want to get involve with someone like me.

Their conversation suddenly ended when the bell rang.
They proceeded walking together without saying any word from each other.

As classes ended, Claud packed up his things and walked out of the classroom.
Anna followed him immediately.
Claud knew Anna was following him but ignored her and continued on walking.
As Claud was about to reach the exit Anna suddenly shouted and said:

"So this is it?
You are just going to walk away?"

Claud paused.

Anna: Why won’t you talk to me?

Claud didn’t answer and just stood still.

Ok I get it. You really don’t remember huh?
You really have forgotten all about me. . .

Claud’s expression change, He turned around to see Anna walking away from him with tears on her face.
He was puzzled on what Anna said to him.

“Do I know her?”
“Where?”
“When?”
“How?”

Questions were left to Claud.
Then suddenly. . . .
