Stalking

[Maxxine
After we left the store we went out to the pizza place down the street. Bobby drove banging on the steering wheel to the beat of the music. I stare out the window thinking about the interaction me and Brittany had. She looked really good in those shorts. I thought.
What? No she didn't.
I shook it off. Stop with these thoughts and forget about it. That's what I was trying to do right? We made it to the place and went inside.
Bobby ordered two large peporoni pizzas and we sat at a booth. We had gotten our drinks and waited. Bobby slurped her soda while I sat scrolling on my phone and DJ had gone to the bathroom. I continued on Instagram, different photos and stories I saw. It was normal until her account showed up. I gulped and my eyes went wide. Bobby must've noticed because she stopped slurping. "What's up?" she asks. "Look like you saw a ghost." she scoffs. I roll my eyes and how her the account. She sips her straw then spits it out. Her eyes widening snatching the phone. "What the hell?!" I shout at her as the soda sprayed onto my clothes. "No way!" she shouts gripping the phone close to her face. I wipe the side of my face as DJ scoots into the booth. "Did I miss something?" she asks looking over bobby's shoulder. Bobby nods and shows the phone. I watch as DJs eyes scan the screen. Her eyes widen and she looks back between Bobby and me. "Yknow what this means, right?" Bobby asks us as she draws my phone back. She looks at the both of us as we stare blankly. She rolls her eyes. "This means we can do some actual stalking." she says quietly. DJ looks at me with a concerned face. I look back at her confused. "No way." I say snatching my phone back. "No, we are not." I say putting my phone in my back pocket. Bobby groans. "Cmonnn Maxie." she draws out putting her arms out on the table. She puts on her puppy eyes and pouting lips. "This isn't the Maxie I know." she says. I stare at her
What did she mean?
Bobby than starts squinting at me like she suspects something. "Yeahh" she says agreeing with herself. "The Maxie I know, would've let it pass." she says knowingly. I roll my eyes pushing her face away. "Go check on our pizza." I say looking away. She glares at me as her and DJ scoot along the seat to walk away.
After they were out my sight I pulled out my phone and went back to Instagram. I looked up her account. I just was curious, that's all. Her profile picture was of her in her cheer uniform with Tiffany on a flight of stairs.
Her posts consisted of her and her friends. Mirror pics, pool pics, cheer pics. So many selfies. I thought. I examined all of her posts till I reached the bottom. Right in time Bobby and DJ came back with the pizza. We ate and talked. Before we knew it we were full so we left a tip and left.
The drive back was full of singing along to the radio. Eventually we made it back to my house. I grabbed my stuff and opened my door. I made if around to the drivers side window and put my hand on the door. "Can we stay another night?" Bobby asked. "Nah, I got work tomorrow morning remember?" I say. Bobby groans. "Alright, see you later." she says smiling. "Bye." I say waving. I check my phone as she pulls out of the driveway. It was already almost time for dinner. I made my way up to the porch and opened the front door. I took my shoes off as I closed it and made my way to the kitchen. I had noticed a note stuck to the fridge. I take it off to read it.
"Hi Maxie! Sorry I won't be here for dinner, here is some leftovers. I'm out with Sylvia, call me if you need anything!
-love, Dad."
I snort. I put the note down and open the fridge. I pull out a container and heat it up and wait. I pull up Instagram and I noticed I had a new viewer. My gut twisted into nots. Was that Brittany? I asked myself. My heart dropped, she mustive saw that I viewed her account. Shit. Without thinking I pressed the block button. The microwave beeped and made me jump. I sat my phone down and got my food out of the microwave. I ate alone at the dinner table, took a shower than went to bed.

That night I lay in my bed on my phone. I was scrolling on Instagram until I got a new viewer. I was curious so I looked into the account. My heart dropped and it suddenly felt hot. How did maxxine find my account? Why was she viewing it. So many questions went through my head. I decided to block her and then I eventually fell asleep that night.
The next morning the sun slowly creeping up behind my curtains. I sat up and yawned. I got up and went into the living room were my mom was up eating cereal on the couch. "Hey mom." I yawn "I'm craving starbies not gonna lie." I say tiredly sitting down next to her. She looks at me as she sets her spoon down. "We don't have one here, remember? Only a gas station down that way." she says pointing her thumb backwards.
I groan setting my head back. She shakes her head laughing. "why don't you go pick up a drink and some donuts?" she says elbowing me and wiggling her eyebrows. I blink at her an sigh. "Yeah sure. " I say getting up. I put on my slippers and put my hair in a clip. I wore my pj's out because no one I knew lived out here. I drove down the block or two to the old gas station. No one seemed to be here early in the morning. I turned the engine off and opened my car door. My slippers drag along the sidewalk as I make my way inside. The bell dings as I open the glass door.
It was empty in the small gas station. Good. I thought. I made my way over to the fridges to find a coffee. A worker had been right in front of what I wanted. I stood behind her hoping shed seen me. He hair was dark and in a messy pony. She wore black headphones and her fur was black. "Um, exuse me." I say sternly She jumps and drops her headphones as she turns around.
My hair on my neck stands up. What the hell? Why the fuck is she everywhere. "What are you doing here." I say shouting crossing my arms. She rolls her eyes. "Chill it uppercrust, I work here." she says closing the fridge. "Well you're in my way goof." I say getting closer to her face as I make my way to the fridge. I open it and bend down to get a coffee. "I thought you lived in spoonersvil?" she asks. So nosey. I thought. I slam the door and turn to her. "Mind your business, huh?" I say bumping into her shoulder as I walk off.
Was she actually stalking me now? First I see her at the shops, she stalks my insta and now this? What is my luck.
I find a few bags of donuts and make my way to the cash register. I put my things on the counter and ring the bell. No answer, so I ring it another time. And again, again, again- "Jesus I'm coming!" Maxxine yells. "Took you long enough." I say crossing my arms. She rolls her eyes and scans my things. "That'll be 11.15$." I pull out my wallet and hand her a 20. "Keep the change." I grab the bag and just before I walk out she says. "See you tomorrow, Brit." I look back at her and flip her off. She laughs walking away. I walk out the doors and too my car. I sat the bag in the passenger seat and put my key into the engine. I noticed maxxine in the window of the store. I couldn't help but stare at the girl. Her hair was up and messy. Her lips full and dark. The grip on my steering wheel tightening. I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding. Eventually I pulled out of the parking lot and drive back. What was that even about? My stomach and brain have been acting weirdly recently. Hopefully it's nothing.
