    It was a new school year in 2012. I saw many different faces. However, I also saw many familiar faces. There was just 1 kid who didn't look familiar that was in our class. His name was Rinaldo. Apparently he was from Hungary and we learned a lot about him. Soon, he was my best friend. Although it took a while, we became best friends and we usually hang out and take walks outside and talk.

    One day, when i was over at his house, he received a call. It was a private number and the person claimed that he/she was our friend Thingymabob. It was really weird because the person sounded like a girl. However, Rinaldo knows that only me, Thingymabob, and our classmate Random name know his phone number. So we tried to believe the caller. After, the caller said that he/she wanted to ask Rinaldo a question. We said OK and the caller said that he/she needed to warm up. At that point, we knew it was strange that "Thingymabob" would need to warm up to ask a question. We started getting suspicious. We listened to what the caller had to ask. He/She asked "Do you like anyone?" Immediately, we knew that it wasn't Thingymabob. Thingymabob wouldn't care who Rinaldo would likes and he wouldn't need to warm up to ask him a question! But we couldn't be too sure so I started asking the caller questions that only people in our school would know. The caller answered almost all of them correctly so we knew that he/she was from our school. However, he/she hung up when i asked him/her the last question. It was a question that only few people would know even in our school. Obviously, the caller didn't know the answer therefore he/she hung up. Rinaldo told me that during the past few days, he has received many calls from the same person. We decided to interrogate our friend Thingymabob on Monday.

    Thingymabob claimed that he had soccer practice during the weekend and didn't call Rinaldo. To make sure, we asked his sister. His sister agreed that he had soccer practice on the weekend and didn't call Rinaldo. Then all the clues pointed to one person-Random name. As he had a high pitched voice, he could be the mysterious caller. We decided to interrogate him. However, he was absent on Monday and Tuesday. Finally, on Wednesday, he arrived at school and we started asking him questions. He denied the fact that he was the mysterious caller. We tried to believe him and look for more clues. After that day, we kept thinking who would have Rinaldo's phone number. We just couldn't think of anyone who could find out. I asked Rinaldo to keep thinking and try to find any clues that would lead us the the source of the problem. Over the next few days, Rinaldo said that the "caller" has been calling him almost every day. He still couldn't get and leads but still tried. Rinaldo soon found a way to make the "stalker" stop calling him.
