It all started on July 16 last year in my home town in Florida. I was walking in the park when I got this weird feeling that someone was watching me. I turned around and there he was, he was sitting on a bench wearing a trench coat and a fedora.

    If he was trying to blend in he failed, I mean seriously who wears a trench coat in July, who wears a trench coat in Florida at all? I turned back around as if I hadn't seen him but when I heard him get up I started to walk faster and faster till I was full out running!

When I reached my house I opened the front door and ran to my room then I locked the door and went to look through the blinds. The man was standing in my front lawn looking right at my window. I didn't turn away though I kept looking straight at him.

Just then came a knock on my door " Gwen?" my mom said,
" Yeah mom?"
" Can I come in Sweetie?"
I went and unlocked the door but kept my attention on the window. My mom went and sat on my bed and started talking, I don't know what she said cause I was still looking at the window. A second later my mom tapped me on the shoulder "what are you looking at?" She said as she went and looked out the window with me.

"That guy," I said
"What guy?"
"That guy! Standing right there!"
"This better not be a joke Gwen because it's not funny" she said.
"It's not a joke mom!" I yell " he's right there!"
"Gwen! Do not yell at me!" she said  "Your grounded!" 
"Seriously? All I did was yell at you!"
"Gwen we've talked about this! You shouldn't yell at me!"
"Hmf" I said and turned back to the window.

The guy was still there but now he was walking towards the window "Oh no!" I breathed. "What" my mom said as she got up. "Nothing!" I said and pushed her out of my room "go back to doing what ever you were doing before!"

I locked my door again and went to look out the window. The guy was now almost to my window. I crouched down I could still see him but was mostly hidden. He was almost to my window when I noticed someone was behind him, and it wasn't just any someone it was my best friend Abigail Parsons. She looked at my window and gasped. The guy noticed her and started trying to sneak away but she ran up to him and started shouting I don't no what she said but he backed off and started running.
I opened my window and shouted "that was awesome, what did you say to make him go away?" Abigail turned to me and said " I just told him 'back off punk!' and he walked away. "Cool!" I say though I have a slight feeling that she is lying, it doesn't really though all that matters is that the stalker guy is gone. There is still one thing that bothers me, my mom wasn't able to see the man but Abigail and and I were able to. Hmm I wonder what that means.
