"Watch where you going, Rae."
"Hmmm… what?"
Thuck.
Rae was too deep in his own head. Like, way too deep.
He was thinking about something—he didn't even remember what it was now—and because of that, he didn't hear Melissa's voice at the right time.
Or maybe he heard it, but his brain was too slow to care. Anyway, the next second, his face went straight into the side of a damn tree.
"Shit!"
Of course, he went down like a sack of potatoes, both hands shooting up to rub his cheeks.
Rae groaned loud enough for a squirrel in the branches above to pause its acorn-eating and look down.
His cheeks were already starting to sting, and the bark had left this scratchy feeling on his skin.
Not to mention, stupid Melissa was laughing her ass off. She was literally leaning forward, clutching her stomach like she was about to collapse from it.
"Ara ara, Rae-kun. I told ya, didn't I? Ha ha ha, why didn't ya listen to me?"
