Stalker loves me!!!

Chapter 6

Chapter 6:

Amanda's pov:

Anthony and I went to order food but to our dismay, there was a long queue at the counter. I sighed and was about to turn around but I remembered how hungry we were; so we waited.

My eyes started searching for the guy whom I bumped into that morning, I just had to be sure that I didn't just imagine all that. I saw him this morning. I did. He couldn't have just vanished like that.

I was still scanning the area, lost in my thoughts, when someone took hold of my shoulder and jerked me. Not to hard, ofcourse. Just enough to get my out of my thoughts.

"Andy. Andy! Do you want anything else?" Anthony asked me, his face furrowed tensly.

"Nope" I said popping the 'p' and gave him my best fake smile.

"That's it then." Anthony told the girl at the counter. She nodded, gave us a receipt with a smile that equalled mine in its fakeness and asked us to wait for them to plate it up.

Within a few minutes, Anthony held two pizzas and two burgers in a tray, while I took the drinks to our table.

When I was just few feet away from table, I saw Taylor holding my phone. She was scrolling through; her eyes widened and I knew exactly what had happened. She had seen the stalker's message on my mobile.

My heart started racing and I took bigger steps towards the table.

He must have texted again.

I sat besides Taylor and looked at her face and then my cell phone. My face must have looked delirious, because immediately her face contorted to a look of a mother, that she wore only when she is worried about us.

" We should talk." she whispereed to me.

I sighed and nodded in agreement.

"Explain." Taylor demanded, staring into my eyes.

After school, we had gone to Baskin Robbins, an ice cream parlour that was our favourite place to go when things weren't good. We had ordered their chocolate chip ice cream, and I was just staring into my bowl not being able to enjoy it much.

"I don't know where to start..." I muttered.

"Let's start with your phone" Taylor said, indicating towards my mobile that was kept on the table beside hers.

I took a deep breath, looked at her and told her everything. The annoying texts, the gifts, everything. I spared no detail and she was a brilliant listener, very patient. It made me feel a lot better.

"well, do you suspect anyone?"She asked with enthusiasm.

"No, no one. I know nothing about him. But he knows everything about me." I told her with a sad face.

"Cheer up, it must be some stupid prank. If he messages you again then we can always report him. Okay? " she said, looking at me with a smile. When she says things like that, it seems so simple. But I knew it wasn't. This didn't seem like a harmless prank.

"Yeah."

Taking a spoonful of the ice cream into her mouth, she said, "After this, let's go shopping!!"

"Shopping?" I asked her not sure as to why she suggested that.

"To change your mood and I need new shoes." She said, staring at her three week old pair of converses.
