They had some rest, sleeping at two benches. When Courtney woke up, she couldn't see Carl anywhere. She found his phone on the bench he'd slept on. She gasped.

Trent had put duct tape over Carl's mouth. Carl was in the woods, tied onto a tree. He wanted to slap Trent in the face because of what he'd done. He felt dizzy. Trent stared at Carl, mischievously. He picked up his pocket watch from his jeans pocket. Carl feared that Trent was going to hypnotize him. Trent removed the duct tape from Carl's mouth.

"No!"

Trent started swaying the watch from side to side, making Carl calm.

"I want you to say this after me: I'm a macho man. I despise all girls."

Carl followed the pocket watch with his eyes.

"I'm a macho man. I despise all girls..."

Trent smiled.

"Good."

Trent untied him from the tree and told him to go to the playground. When Carl got there, Courtney ran to him, hugging him. Carl pushed her away from him, looking disgusted.

"What are you doing!?"

Courtney looked shocked at Carl.

"Why are you suddenly like this?"

Carl sighed deeply.

"Get out of my way, girl."

"My name is Courtney!"

"I don't care!"

Courtney frowned. She ran away from the playground, crying. Carl shook his head, slowly.

"Girls..."

Trent knocked him on the shoulder from behind.

"I agree. We could survive without girls, you know? And we don't need to worry about love. What do you say, Carl?"

"Sure. That seems cool."
