Lisa couldn’t believe when the words “I’m sorry” flew out of her mouth so fast. She chalked it up to her soft spot for Cisco. “Maybe you should stay in the lab?” she suggested. Seeing him hurt bothered her. Maybe it was because he looked so sad with those big puppy eyes. “I could tell him to leave you alone…if you want. I do have sway with him.”
“Why are you sorry? I’m sorry that you know the guy.” He said, looking at the woman. “I’m fine. I think I’ve finally learned my lesson about walking around at night. You don’t need to talk to him. Actually, Please don’t talk to him. I got this. I don’t need someone else worrying about my problems with bullies.” He began walking to the main street. “Thanks for the concern, though Lisa.”
