-Maya's POV-
“Can you believe we’re finally Sophomores?”I ask as I look across the table at my three best friends, Lenya, Simone, and Tiffany.
“I’m just trying not to think about it homie.” Tiffany said aggressively cutting into her pulled pork sandwich. She hated school, but I wasn't like she was even at school anyway.
“I’m just excited to get my schedule I hope I have classes with people I know!” I said and reached to the middle of the table to grab a mozzarella stick.
“I only had one class with LeNaya and I didn’t even know her in the beginning of the year!” Simone yelled throwing her hands in the air in anger her glasses nearly falling off of her nose her shoulder length brown hair covering her face. “I better have classes with someone this year.” she grumbled fixing her hair.
I looked out the window of BJ’s and saw a man sitting on a bench looking at us. “Hey! Is that guy staring at us?” They all looked over to where I was pointing. I looked at him he had short black hair with some fringe blowing in the wind, his muscles made his shirt look two sizes too small for him. He stared at me with his ice blue eyes almost as if he was begging me to remember. But remember what?
“More like staring at you...” Tiffany whisper to me as if he can hear us through the glass. I was glad that they saw him too and noticed that he was in fact staring at me and I wasn't just having a mental break down.
“Can we just finish and leave?” I ask feeling uncomfortable under the mans stare. My friends quickly agreed feeling equally creeped out by the mystery man as me. We finished our food and payed for the bill and left.
“Bye Simone!”Tiffany, LeNaya, an I yelled in unison as Simone left to her Grandma’s car. I looked around for the mystery man but he wasn't around anymore. "Weird.." I mumbled to myself.
"Come on Maya! We're walking LeNaya over to Sephora so her mom can take her home." Tiffany yelled in my ear then pulled my arm to make me walk faster.

"Man I swear that baby was giving me the eye!" I said to Tiffany as we were walking through Target. "He was like two!" Tiffany yelled back at me gaining a few unwanted eyes on us.
"Shut up!" I glanced to my right and stopped in surprise. "Hey isn't that the guy from outside BJ's?" I pointed over to the man standing on the other side of the men's section.
"I don't know homie. Look at this Batman shirt!" Tiffany exclaimed tearing my attention away from the man. Tiffany grabbed my arm and dragged me towards the beanbags. "Stop worrying and relax!" She said while throwing me on the bean bags causing me to slide all the way down the aisle.
"Eek!" I squeaked out while trying to calm my heart down. I heard footsteps running towards us so I jumped up grabbed Tiffany off of the floor. "5-O run!" I yelled at her which caused her to stop laughing.
"That's not the police..." She whispered.
I looked to the end of the aisle and saw the mystery man there looking at me worriedly. Weirdo! "Lets go." Tiffany whispered again. Not trusting my voice in front of this god like man i just nodded. Tiffany was about to pull me away but i stopped her.
I walked over to the man and looked into his eyes, well it was hard to seeing as he was at least a foot taller than me. But I was getting sick of him following me around, so I confronted him,"Who are you? Do I know you? Why are you following us?"
"My name is Conner Ke-Smith, and I wasn't following you I just happened to be in the same place as you." He said his voice deep but not too deep. It suited him perfectly!
"Okay Conner Smith." I began "You just so happened to be in the same place as us not once, not twice but three times? You expect me to believe that? And you still haven't answered my question. Do. I. Know. You?" I finished my little rant and poked a finger into his chest and looking at his accusingly.
"Believe what you want to." He responded and turned on his heel and walked out of target leaving me standing there looking like a tool with my finger in the air where his chest once was.
"He's into you." I heard Tiffany voice from behind me.
"Dibs!" I yelled.
"Have him. Not into the whole stalker status thing." Tiffany responded over her shoulder as she walked to the next aisle leaving me alone watching him walk away, his hands in his pockets. He started something with me and I'm NOT giving up until i know everything about this Conner Smith.
