I was purposefully trying not to let the kid know I was watching him as I moved around the park looking at the statues and sculptures. I’d made my way to the other side of the fountain and with a quick glance toward my parents I saw that they were now deep into conversation and not paying attention to me. I then looked toward the boy who wasn’t looking my way either. Without really thinking what I was doing I took off running as fast and I could around the Library.
I wasn’t sure if I could get around the library to the front entrance where the boy was standing, but I wanted to at least try. The back side of the library, butted up to an alley and parking lot, but there was a sidewalk all the way around. I slowed and turned the last corner and found myself fifteen feet from the back of the kid.
