Today is the day! I’m finally buying new summer clothes with Emily! “Mom! Where is Emily?” “She might be outside with Tom. Go and check if they are still on a date.” “I will!” I quickly ran to the playground. Phew... Just how much time I spent looking for them...

Breathing roughly, I found Tom and Emily together on the bench of the playground. “What? You can’t say that to me!” A sharp sound caught my ears. They were fighting. I reached out slowly to the backside of the playground. Then I heard Emily talking angrily. “I love dressing up the way that suits me and you have no say in what I wear!” “Why can’t you understand? Your outfit is too skimpy. Other people will keep looking at you and I hate my girlfriend to be watched like that.”

“DO YOU KNOW THAT THIS IS A FORM OF DATING ABUSE?!” Emily seemed to be angry but also disappointed in her boyfriend. “..WHAT?? Did you see that man next door just now? He gave you a weird glance while we were walking together.” “This is making me very upset. If that man giving me a look is the problem, then you should be angry at him. I don’t get why you are angry at me.” Then there was silence. I slowly reached out and shouted:

“Emily! We have to go now!” When she saw me, she came running to me and gave a tight hug.

Carefully, I asked,

“Are you okay?” “..I’m fine.”

“ What was all that screaming about?”
