I I hadn’t heard from my stalker for three days, but there were moments when I felt him nearby, watching from afar and in disguise, like me. He and I had more in common than he knew. It’s an odd feeling when you start to get used to his presence, then the emptiness when you realize he’s not around. He hasn’t messaged me since he broke into my room, and I wondered why he’s so quiet. But out of inflated pride, I refused to contact him. Instead, knowing he was watching, I went about my day with a secret smile.

It took me twenty minutes to travel by foot to my first class, which I was so excited about. Part of the class will be marine biology theory, and the other part will be practical, such as studying sea creatures kept in an aquarium.

There were about fifty students in this class, and as I was shoved against the wall and squeezed between the crowd as we entered the class, I tried to smile and strike up a conversation but was ignored. Annika wanted to scream, “Hey, I said hello to you. Please acknowledge me. Asshole.”

But good ol’ Riley Laws just took it, like she always did. She’d bite her tongue and allowed the crowd to shove her about until she was the last one inside, and the only seat available was next to a scruffy guy with a pungent, sickly body odor. But at least he said ‘hi’ when I sat down.

Trembling in anticipation, the professor started the class by outlining our course material, including a week-long sea trip to study coral and other small living organisms. My excitement hit peak nerdy high as he talked about our upcoming adventures with a heavy workload that I’ll have to balance out with my new job.

With trembling fingers, I took notes, but my enthusiasm fizzled further into the term's course material and curriculum requirements. It seemed endless, but that was the reality of education.

“What the fuck?” the guy next to me grunted, and I assumed he was as aghast at the workload as I was. But when I glanced up at him, he wasn’t looking at the professor; he was frowning at something out the window.

We’re on the ground floor, and outside the window is a courtyard closed off by classrooms with mowed grass and a picnic table. Leaning casually against the classroom opposite was a guy dressed head to toe in black and wearing a Scream mask. His legs were crossed at the ankles, his hands snug in his sweatpants’ pockets, and his shoulders broad under a black hoodie.

My stalker.

I suppressed a smile, raised my hand, and shot him a small wave. Even though I couldn’t see his face, I knew he was smiling.

“Do you know him?” the guy beside me asked.

“Ah, not really. He likes to run about the place, scaring people,” I explained, hoping he won’t ask any more questions.

The guy grunted and turned back to face the front of the classroom.
