Why don't you like him? That's the thought spiraling in Wally's head as he walks down the street with you.

Dislike might be too small a word. Judging how you haven't said more than two words and you refuse to make eye contact it was safe to assume you hated him.

He tried pretending he didn't care at first, it's not like needed to be liked by everyone but the more time he spent with you the more he became obsessed with figuring out why you hated him.

You met through mutual friends a few weeks ago. A small get together where he was nice, energetic, and charming — the usual adjectives people use to describe his personality. Yet you couldn't stand him.

He decided after the first week of being attempting to bridge the gap and getting no where that he hated you too. Usually he was a defender of positive thoughts but you made him irrational.

Still, it was a long walk to your apartment and he couldn't stand the awkward silence.

"A thank you would be nice." Not the best topic starter but he did take the time to make sure you got home safely after another tense get together. That deserved something right?
