It all started on November 13th. I noticed a guy who almost no one knew (he was basically a nobody), staring at Hanna one day. I didn't think it was weird; everyone stared at her. Then a few days later, he was staring again, but this time with a hateful look in his eyes. I was confused-nobody hated Hanna. It was almost impossible! I decided I would ask her about it that night; we were going to see a movie.

At the theaters, while we were waiting in line to get our tickets, I remembered to ask.

"Hey Hanna?" I asked. I was nervous to ask, but she didn't have anything to hide. Right?

"Yeah Courtney?" She replied.

"Well today I noticed some kid staring at you, and he kinda looked at you like he hated you. But that would be impossible, right?"

"What did he look like?" Hanna answered.

"Well he was tall, almost 6', with blonde hair and ice blue eyes. He didn't seem very social. I don't  know what his problem was." I laughed a force laugh at the end, trying to ease the tension. Hanna looked like she swallowed a war head.

"I have no idea who he is. Let's not worry about it," Hanna said, looking very worried. I wondered why she was lying to me, but she must have had her reasons. I would force her to tell me later, but now she looked like she was going to throw up.

Hanna was very quiet throughout the whole movie, and she usually made comments to me, mostly rude. After, she left the theater right when we got out of the movie, barely mumbling a goodbye. This was so unlike her that I knew something was up. I decided I would find out who this kid was, starting with his name, and what about him makes Hanna so uneasy.
