My "Friendly" Stalker

Questions After Questions

*BEEP* *BEEP*

Ugh, will that alarm ever shut up? Its like its on an endless cycle of beeps that won't stop until I exit my beautiful bed. Welp might as well get ready.

"ORIANA, BREAKFAST!"

"COMING MA!" I yell. I don't know whether I should be scared from what happen last night, or glad nothing too serious happened. All I know is i'm thankful she even made me breakfast.

*DING*

My phone? My phone never chimes because me and Delilah usually just meet up, just like that.

"Hey Oriana, it's me, "Stranger", just wanted to text you and see what you were up to." He texted me.

What in the world was that? Such a casual message as if we have known each other for years, not even telling me his name.. speaking of which how does he know mine? How can I have so many unanswered questions for this one guy? I'm so sick of this.

"Hey.. You! What do you even want me to call you? I'm so confused and I have a million questions I can't even lie. Can we meet up and I don't know.. Talk or something?" I text back.

Now I must await a response. Woah, wait a minute, HOW DOES HE HAVE MY NUMBER?!

"ORIANA ROUGE. COME GET YOUR BREAKFAST BEFORE IT GETS COLD." She yells, insisting I come down to eat.

"SORRY I'M COMING!"

Tomorrow school starts back up, which is why I needed to head to the mall to get a whole new wardrobe, parent approved of course, and some nice supplies.

"Lets see, hoodies.. hoodies.. hm.." I say, deep in concentracion.

"Oh wow, hey Oriana!" Someone shouts.

 "Oriana, hello? It's your stalker~" He says, trying to get my attention.

"Oh hey- OH HEY.." I exclaim, nervously looking around to see how in the world he found me here. "Honestly, if your gonna be my stalker, at least be more subtle about it." I remark.

"Subtle.. huh.." He wonders aloud.

"It was a joke.." I say, concerningly.

"Right, i'm just messin' with you! So what brings you to the mall on this fine day?" He says, trying to start up a conversation about me, as always.

"The real question here is, what are YOU doing in this mall, around this time of day?" I say, staring.

"Well it is a free mall afterall, i'm allowed to come here. Plus, school." He shows the backpack he's about to buy off. "New year new me, eh?"

Huh, so he really might be my age. Still so much to ask but I don't wanna come off as creepy or anything, but would it really be creepy when he literally follows me everywhere? It's so annoying but.. so.. ugh. 

"Earth to Ori." He says waving his hand in my face.

Right. He knows my name.

"First of all, how do you even know my name? Secondly, don't call me Ori, only my friends can call me that." I say, practically growling. 

"Fine fine, i'll just call you Rouge, respectfully." He says, smirking.

Again, how does he know my name, better yet my FULL name. This is creepy.

"Didn't answer my question. How do you know me?" I ask again.

"Well that gorgeous friend of yours told me of course! I bumped into her on that jog, and she said your name was "Oriana Rouge", didn't know you were so cagey about a name, again, my bad." He says, while looking around.
