When I looked up and saw Cupid with his bow, I knew we were in trouble.

It was Valentine's Day, the day of love, and I was with a group of friends, hanging out in our local park. I noticed something something glimmer in the corner of my eye and the sound of wings fluttering was heard from behind me. Out of curiosity, I looked back, expecting to just see a bird. However, I was greeted with none other than Cupid. Realization dawned on me as I caught sight of the bow. "SCATTER!" I yelled, knowing that if we stuck close together, we would end up falling in love with each other. A few confused glances were exchanged before my friends started running too, but I was already gone. I looked back to see a few of my friends holding hands and hugging. I swear I could see tiny hearts circling their heads. At this point, I didn't care anymore. I was just concerned with running away as fast as I possibly could. I did not want to end up like my other friends because I was a single pringle, and I was staying that way. As I reached the exit of the park, I saw my friend, Alex, nearing the same exit. For a small fraction of a second, I was happy to see that one of my friends survived this encounter, but then I realized Alex was running straight towards me, with Cupid not far behind. Within a split second, Cupid shot an arrow and hit Alex, forcing him to fall in love with something. I figured it was me, since it appeared Alex was looking straight at me, but he just walked right past me. I turned to see him hugging a tree. I started laughing so hard, I fell to the ground! When I was finally able to recover my breath, it appeared that Cupid was gone, and all of my friends were engaged in a relationship. With a shrug, I left the park, happy I was single for yet another day.
