Horror (One-Shots)

Instagram

I pulled out my phone, and checked my last upload. It was a picture of me at a cafe. My phone was blowing up from likes, and comments. I was practically Instagram famous.

"Wow those shoes are dope!" One comment read on my shoes photo that I wore on my vacation to the Bahamas.

"What type of lipstick do you wear? It's beautiful!"

"I wonder if you are as pretty in real life as you are in your photos."

"Please follow me back!"

"You're so pretty!"

I scrolled through the endless comments, and smiled. I stopped as I came across a specific user that always commented on my photos. What stood out about him what that his profile picture was the default 'no face' picture. Also his comments were pretty creepy to me. His name stood out to me too. It was 'starsaved. '

"No man knows you as well as I do. We should meet up." It read.

I frowned. What a creep.

"Hey Yuri!" My friend Tomie waved, and ran towards me. "Hey miss Instagram star." She teased. "Let's get some coffee, and breakfast."

"Sure." I smiled.

~~~~~~

We both went to the cafe nearby. It was almost a daily ritual to get the typical coffee, and cinnamon rolls.

"Hey, that must be the new waiter, he's hot." Tomie pointed to the waiter across the room. "We should talk to him."

"Sure." I smiled. "Hey!" I called over to him, and he turns my way. "Can I change my order from A to B please?"

He walks on over, and I casually made conversation. Me, and Tomie were having a great time chatting. He seemed to like our company as well.

I decided to post a picture of my cafe order B on Instagram, and take a picture with the waiter. He didn't resist, and took a picture with us.

Notifications starting blowing up on my phone. I love the sound of popularity. I knew there would be some creepy, and hurtful comments, but that is how social media is these days.

I took out my phone to check the comments, and they were the typical.

"Why did you change the order?!"

"Wow is he your boyfriend?"

"Threesome?"

"You look so cute!"

Then my eyes zoomed to see the infamous starsaved.

"You look pretty happy there with that waiter chatting away."

My head turned to looked in many directions. Was this creep in the cafe too? How does he know?

I decided to click on his profile to see what he uploads. My heart stopped as I saw he had no followers, and only followed me. His pictures consisted of all my photos, and then some of the ones I deleted early on. What the hell? I should make my profile private.

I went to my settings, and turned it on to private, and blocked starsaved.

BING! I got a message on my phone.

"Why did you put your profile to private?" A private number said.

"You keep blocking me, but I'll find you."

My phone began ringing, and it wouldn't stop. I ended up getting fifty missed calls from an unknown number.

"Answer the phone?"

"You're the one that posted those pictures for me to see."

"Why won't you pick up? You're pissing me off."

"Shall I come see you in person?"

My chest began beating rapidly. I was scared for my life. I dismissed myself from the cafe as casually as I could.

I quickly drove home, and locked all the doors. I laid down on the bed, and decided tomorrow I will go out to change my phone number.

~~~~~~

The next day I officially changed my phone number. I felt a lot better. The only painful thing is getting everyone's number back on my contacts list or vise versa.

BING! I got a notification from Facebook. It was from Tomie.

"Hey! Did you change your number? I couldn't reach you this morning."

"Oh yes I did. Here I will give you my new number xxx-xxxx-xxxx." I typed my number for her.

"Thanks! What are you doing by the way?"

"I'm about to board the 57th train to meet up with a friend. What are you up to?"

"About to just clean. Boring. Have fun!"

"Okay see you."

I stepped on the train, and felt a lot more relieved. I decided to take a seat next to this guy that was pretty good looking. I've been seeing so many cute guys lately. I should get myself a boyfriend.

My phone rang, and I picked it up, but no one said anything. It must of been the previous owner's friend that used to have this number.

The train started moving, and the roads were bumpy. I realized the guy sitting next to me was eating popcorn, and had a soda. He wore an adorable cap too. He looks over, and smiles. Suddenly the road had a huge bump, and his soda fell on me.

"I'm so sorry!" He apologizes.

"No it's okay."

"Try washing it out in the bathroom. I'll pay for your dry cleaning if you need."

"No no." I chuckled. "It's okay. Accidents happen."

I quickly got up, and went to the small toilet in the back of the train. Suddenly my phone had a notification on Facebook again. I noticed it was Tomie.

"Hey Yuri, did you change your number? I can text you, but the calls won't go through."

I was puzzled, and typed back. "Yeah, I told you in a Facebook message my new number not too long ago."

"What are you talking about? I wasn't even on up until now."

My hands began to sweat. What?

KNOCK KNOCK! The door started knocking. Someone must need the bathroom.

I quickly opened the door, and it was the cute guy with the popcorn, and cap. Except he looked creepy, and his eyes bulged out.

"Why did you put your profile on private? It only made me more curious!" He growls!
