"Hey," Edward called, blocking Rachel's path.
She tried to dodge him but he kept on obstructing her view.
"What do you want?!" She asked, her words coming out harsh.
Ed's smile died down and he put down his arms, directing them back to his pockets.
"Hey, I was just excited to see you, you don't have to be so harsh," He said with a pout.
"Look, if it's about the job I cost you, I'm sorry about..."
"...It's--it's not about that," She interjected.
"Look, I'm sorry but it'll be best if you stay away from me and we don't see each other ever again," She said, maintaining eye contact.
"What?" He asked in surprise.
"Please just stay away from me," She said and was about to leave when Ed grabbed a hold of her hand.
She turned back to him, "Why?" He asked.
