The Stalker

1

"Wake up, it's the first day of School. Don't wanna be late!" My mom said in a cheery way as she pulled off my covers and turn on the lights.

"5 minutes! Geez." I said as I groaned and pulled back my covers.

"Usual." My sister said as she entered the bathroom. "I'll shower first, so that gives you an extra 15 minutes to sleep. Sounds fair?" She said as she closed the door without waiting an answer for me.

First day of school? Usually rush hours.

As I got ready, I put on my uniform and put on fix spray on my hair and just shake my hair while I do. They don't call it the Shake and Spray brand for nothing, don't they?

"First day. First impressions." I said as I looked at my curling iron. The thoughts of plugging it and curling my hair.

"Nah." I said. Freshman year, I thought. Great. I bet loads of bullshit is going to happen.

As part of my morning routine, I checked my phone. Messages, messages, more messages. As usual, Annie texted me and she was feeling the same. Anxious and pretty tired, basically. I shook myself out of my own thoughts as I checked social media sites.

Twitter, "@jessejohnson is now following you!" woah, that's weird. The name seems unfamiliar to me. Someone I don't know is actually following me. Meh, maybe just a random person or a computer.

Snapchat, someone added me. "jessejohnson". Woah, this guy again? Do I even know him? Long lost cousin or something? Why does he wanna wanna see my snapchats? Weird. I ignored it.

Path, a new friend request. "Jesse Johnson" wow, I'm not surprised. Good thing that I'm on friend limit so I actually have an excuse for myself.

Instagram, "jessejohnson has requested to follow you". Now, this is really creepy. Who the hell is this guy? I clicked his profile but apparently it was locked, too. Nice. I ignored it again.

Last stop, Facebook.

This guy has requested to be my friend. 47 mutual friends? What?! He's apparently friends with everyone. What?

Does he do this to everyone? Still not accepting him though. Tried to see his facebook but apparently everything is private. All I know is, that he likes the sitcom, "Friends" because he has David Schwimmer as Ross Geller as a profile picture. Nice. Nice to also know that we both like 'Friends', something in common. Old TV shows.

Creep. I thought, decided to ignore the thought and get ready for breakfast.

As I walked through the halls of Meadow Mount High School, the flags of America are everywhere. And it's not even the 4th of July. Meadow Mount school is so American. Though the name sounds magical.

"Nicolette! So happy to see you!" Charlotte said as she hugged me. How fake, I thought. What is she supposed to be? The one who greets us when it's the first day? Isn't that the teachers job?

"Ha! Thanks, you too." I replied without even thinking.

As I walked through the halls, everyone is in their own crowd or circle. Nice, I thought. Nothing has changed. The unpopular ones, average ones and lastly, the popular ones. As I walk, I couldn't help but wonder,

"Who the hell is staring at me?" and "Why is he staring at me?" Annie, where are you at times like these.

"Hey girl. I've missed you." Annie said as she bear hugged me. We haven't seen each other in a week, since were busy getting ready with school. That's a new record.

"Hey! Right back at you." I said to her as we let go of the hug. And then greeted everyone else in the 'average' crowd. Then, we separate ourselves to the people we want to talk to in the crowd. Funny, isn't it? Like a circle in a circle.

"Nicole" (for short or my nickname), Cara said. "I think that Jesse guy is into you." When it's time for guy-calling or new looks, suddenly everyone looks. Everyone looked into this Jesse guy and so did I. As the whole crowd stared at him, he was still staring at me. Woah.

"How do you know that he's into me?" I said. Oh, so that's 'the creep'.

"Dude, he's been staring at you for minutes now. I think no stare is that long." Cara said as I looked at him one more time, then he looked away and talked to his friends.

"Yeah, that's really creepy if you ask me." Meghan said to the whole crowd and the 'yeah's' are out.

"He might be a creep but damn, he's hot." Cara said as she licked her lips. Typical.

"Who is he anyway?" I said out of curious.

"You don't know Jesse? He's like-" Meghan said, her sentences weren't finished because of interruption from the bell.

"Girls, we'll discuss this later." Annie said as she walked away with me. "So, do you know what classes are you in?" she said.

"Shoot! I forgot to check that. I'm dead meat for sure." I said to Annie.

"I knew you would forget." Annie said as she handed my schedules. "Good thing I know."

"Thanks, Ann! You're the best!" I said. "Only two classes with you? This is going to suck." I said as we went our seperate ways.

I'm honestly just prepare to die surviving any human contact without Annie by my side.

As Annie left me and I walk to my first class, which is History. I felt someone staring at me, again. As I looked to who it was, it was Jesse.

Shit, now I'm scared.

(A/N: For those of you who are wondering what Nicolette looks like, the picture's on the side.

My first fiction. Not fanfiction. I'm scared to be honest. I don't know what it's going to be like, I don't have a story planned in my head, I am just going with the flow, aha! Not funny? Okay. But in all seriousness, I hope you enjoy this story and trust me, this is not a story that you want to miss out not reading. :))
