"I would be a little careful around Daniel if I were you. You don't even know him that well, yet you act so clueless and so defenseless when you're with him. Try to use that head of yours for once," Raphael warned me, but I couldn't take him seriously. I thought that coming outside would give me the freedom I needed to feel better, but Raphael's presence suddenly made me feel like I needed another escape.
"You don't need to worry. Daniel is nothing like you," I snapped before I could hold my words back.
"Really? What am I like?" Raphael asked with a curious expression on his face.
The fact that my words didn't seem to offend or hurt him at all only made me even more furious than before. It felt like he would never take me seriously. Before I knew it, my hands were clenched in tight fists at my side.
