"Daniel," I whined.

"What?" he sighed, looking to me with a scowl.

"Mum said he's sending letters to the house again. He showed up last week, too," I explained, looking over the letter I had just received.

"Are you fucking kidding me?" he sighed, pushing his hair back.

"I wish I were. Seventeen in one week, new record," I remarked.

"Not to intrude but who...?" Wood asked.

"Her wanna-be boyfriend," Daniel answered with an eye roll.

"This guy I went to primary with used to be kinda weird, hanging around me during recess and at the bus stop all the time, but about a week into my first year he started sending letters. It was only every other week or so then. He wanted to know where I went, mainly. Then my mom told him I went to a boarding school. He kept sending letters to our house on and off. They always instructed that my mother send them to me. Right around when he turned thirteen, they got more frequent. My mom eventually told him that I didn't have the capacity for so many. I told her I didn't want them at all because they were, well, weird. He stopped for a while, but when I came back over the summer that June, he started sending them again. And he would go from park to park searching for me. If he saw me in public, he was grabbing my hand before I could even notice him. Then his letters got... They were, uh-" I was blushing already, partially because it was weird to talk about, I didn't know Wood well, I was talking a lot, Wood's a year older, he's cute, this is getting strange-

"They were incredibly vulgar. Like so graphic I almost puked when I read part of one."

"Graphic?" he asked slowly.

"Sick, twisted fantasies about my little sister," Daniel answered.

"What the fuck? How old were you?"

"He was fifteen. I was fourteen. Last summer...Daniel talked sense into him and may or may not have broken the law to protect me when he saw us walking our dog. After that, he stopped. But it's been two months since then, and he's doing it again."

"What...what are you going to do?"

"Not pay any mind. Mom's taking every single letter to the police to gather cause for a restraining order."

"So this...this guy is now a seventeen-year-old obsessed with...you?" he asked, looking to me. I nodded, turning redder. "And he won't leave you alone?" I nodded. "Daniel...can I come over to yours some time this summer? No reason why. Also...do you happen to have a backyard and a shovel?"

I laughed. "I wouldn't mind another person to keep him at bay. I don't think he'll approach me on his own after last time, honestly."

"Even if he did, well..."

I felt myself smile and purse my lips. "What are you two working on?" I asked.

"We have a care of magical creatures project together," Wood answered.

"Ooh, fun. I have a stupid potions assignment," I sighed as I pulled out my homework. I looked up to see Oliver watching me with a blank expression. I looked down quickly and opened my textbook. After writing a little, I glanced up to see he was watching my hands.

"Wood," Daniel snapped.

"Huh? I just dissociated so hard. What the fuck..."

"How much did you sleep last night?" I asked, looking over him carefully.
