Keisha stayed silent as she sat on her room floor, her body tense at the intruder standing behind her. A small chuckle left his lips at her pitiful state, and she shrunk further into herself as she heard his footsteps approach her.
Halting in front of her, Barry slowly lowered himself into a squat until his face was level with hers.
"How rude, Keisha," he tsked, shaking his head in disappointment. "This is no way to receive an old friend. Not even a 'hi' back?"
Turning her head away from him, Keisha bit on her bottom lip to stop it from quivering. The thought of being confined into the same space as this rogue terrified her, and she couldn't bear to look at him anymore.
"Please leave me alone. Go back to your girlfriend."
"Don't you worry about her. She's waiting for us to come back from our 'bathroom break'."
He made air quotes with his fingers at the last part, smiling sinisterly as he did. Motioning between them, he continued.
