"Would you talk that way to somebody who has connections with authority?" I think I have just seen him hesitate a little bit. Maybe I haven't, but thinking that it is true will make me more confident, and confidence is definitely what I need right now. I thought I could leave this ... sneaky jerk behind, but I was wrong.
"For all you know, I might just be a Peacekeeper spy." DAMMIT! He doesn't want to go away, that's pretty clear. However, his words don't sound very convincing to me. If the Peacekeepers saw me run into the woods, wouldn't they have gone and brought me back already? And even if he was their spy, would they let him do anything on Earth just for the sake of his dirty work? I'm not so sure. They don't let anyone out. Probably he's bluffing. It makes me feel much happier than a few seconds ago. But I know he will have the advantage in case he notices. So my face remains cold and motionless.
"So once again, why're you out here?" Really, why am I? Isn't it obvious? But I'm not going to answer. There's no time for that crap. I know that the clock is ticking and I should turn back soon if I don't want to be caught or stay in the woods for the whole day. I can't waste a single second talking to this boy.
From my very own experience I know that an attack is the best defence strategy ever invented, while sarcasm is the best fortress. I open my mouth and strike without a single shade of doubt, an ironic grin still protecting my face: "Connections with the authorities or not, it doesn't make you any better. I'll talk that way every time I meet a jerk, whoever he is. There's also a fifty percent chance you're no spy, and I'll take it. Go back where you came from and don't meddle in my life anymore." I give him a fierce glare, turn around and go on walking. But I still feel like I'm being watched. Maybe he didn't go anywhere. I don't care. I come to the nearest bush, search my right pocket for a piece of rope and start making an animal trap.
