The Stalker Project

Chapter 5: I'm the School's Very Own Stalker

A/N Here is a picture of Ruben Song.

Sunday went by relatively fast. There was ton of homework that Alison needed to finish and there was a ton of worrying she had to do.

On Friday, she had almost committed social suicide by getting caught while she was eavesdropping. And not just once, she'd done it twice. For a girl with good grades,she wasn't that smart was she?

Alison wasn't all too happy about her performance and looking at the pile of homework had done little to lighten her foul mood. What will I ever achieve by figuring out the value of tanA? Like do you ever see road sign that says 'solve for Y to see how fast you're going.' Or a cashier that asks you to calculate the profit per cent of the bread you just bought?

Like that the Sunday went by, with a little whining and complaining and very very dark thoughts about bruning the school down.

Alison embraced Monday morning with a beaming face. Yeah, no. I'm just kidding. Alison's thoughts were more along the line of murdering her Math teacher, but that doesn't sound so cheery, so let's skip that.

Groggily, Alison made her way out of her house and into her garage. That's when she realised. Chocolaty Mother Of Oreo! I have to see those people at school. Please make them forget...

"Hide Al. Julian is coming!" Cody warned. Hastily Alison hid into her locker.

"Oh my-" Cody laughed banging the locker.

"Jerk!" Alison stepped out and punched Cody in the stomach.

"Ouch." He jumped back.

"Stop it guys." Catherine scolded. "We'll be late for history."

"History?" Alison's eyes went wide.

"What's wrong, you look like you've just seen a ghost."

"Worse." Replied Alison. "We have History with Mrs.Davis."

"So?" Cody looked from Alison to Catherine.

"Cole Winters and Ruben Song have history with Mrs.Davis." Catherine replied.

"Is it too late to feign sickness?" Alison paled.

"No. With the way you've paled to a chalky white, it definately looks like you're going to vomit." Cody assured.

"Thanks Cody, that was very helpful." Catherine glared. But Alison indeed felt very sick. Just the though of entering a room where the two kings sat, scrutizing the rest of the crowd, gave her goosebumps. The scene playing in her head where Ruben and Cole publicly crown her the title of 'stalker', wasn't helping her case much either.

"You can't hide forever." Catherine reasoned.

"Yes, I very much can. We only have six months of school left, I can make it till then." Alison said with determination. Little did Alison know that this task wasn't as easy to achieve as it seemed.

Without further ado, Catherine and Alison entered class. Alison looked yearningly at her usual seat which was positioned right in the front. She didn't like to admit it but she could be a huge know- it- all sometimes, especially during history since it was her favorite subject. But she couldn't risk sitting there today, if she sat there, then the teacher was sure to question her and this would expose her. So instead she went and sat in the extreme left corner, next to the window, opposite to where Ruben and Cole sat.

"Safe enough." Catherine shrugged, and sat down in the seat next to her. By this time other students began to pile in. Alison was relived to see that Ruben and Cole sitting in their usual seat, far away from her.
