[ WP ] `` Please kill me ''


 `` If you're a sociopath, why do n't you just kill me?'' He was an arrogant kid, would n't look me in the eye, but looked at the air around me like he was summing me up. He must have been 16, at most. 
 
 `` What are you on about?'' I smile amusedly. My apathy's been noticed before, but the only people who usually accuse me of sociopathy are my family. 
 
 `` You know.'' He'almost' looks me in the eye, so I watch his. I keep watching until he starts fidgeting and then I giggle. People are weird sometimes. 
 
 `` You think I'm a sociopath because I do n't get frustrated when you're controversial?'' I'm expecting a defeated handshake sometime soon, so I take off my woolen gloves and start drying my palms on the inside of my coat pockets. 
 
 He gestures madly with his hands and shakes his head. 
 
 Autistic. Aspergers. 
 
 I smile. 
 
 `` Do you find it hard to make eye contact?'' 
 
 `` There!'' He almost shouts. I smile apologetically at a woman passing on the street. 
 `` You're doing it again. Being manipulative... God, you're annoying! Oh my God.'' 
 
 I ca n't help but laugh again. I have n't had a conversation like this in a long time. Not since I swapped my group of friends for Christian choir-girls. 
 
 He talks loudly for a while, although I should probably call it ranting. So much anger in one kid. He asks me questions, general knowledge, science etc. I tell him'I do n't know'. To most of it, but that makes him angrier. He thinks I'm'playing dumb.' 
 
 Why is this conversation so amusing? I'm hardly saying anything but I'm enjoying it. 
 
 `` How do I make someone hate me?'' He asks, and I shrug. 
 
 `` That's stupid. Why would you want someone to hate you. Surely you'd rather people liked you?'' 
 `` No no no no no. It's power is n't it. If you can /make/ people hate you, you have power. You can be God. Do n't you want to be God?'' 
 
 I shake my head and he gets even more frustrated at my answer. He seemingly does n't understand that people can be motivated by things other than omnipotence. 
 `` What if I already think I'm God?'' 
 That one really annoyed him. 
 
 `` Do you want to be God?'' 
 `` Obviously,'' He says. 
 `` Can there only be one God?'' 
 `` Obviously,'' He says. 
 `` Well there we go then. You be God.'' 
 `` You are n't supposed to say that! You're supposed to oppose me, it does n't work otherwise!'' 
.... 
 `` Would you do it though?'' 
 `` No.'' 
 ``... Please.'' 
 `` No. Go home.'' 
 
 It did end with a handshake, on my street corner. 
 I think he has a crush on me and it does n't make any fucking sense. 
 
 Everybody has this weird suicidal/psychopath complex these days.
