Can I change?

Chapter 9: shine!

Stars...
Why do stars shine so bright?
I never thought that text message would change things that much...not even a little bit...not even at all.
The text message that came was from an unknown number, but who would have guessed who would it be, it said"you're being watched, so think again, and take all your chances, you have two choices to make, whether to move forward, or to look back every once in a while, things are up to you and always remember you're being watched real close."
I feel my heart pounding so hard, while looking around several times, I was terrified. I felt the air disappear as I try so hard to remind myself to breathe, but I can't seem to remember. I felt everyone's eyes on me as if I was some crazy person trying to find something she lost.
I stopped, thought for a second, and read the text again, then started moving, but this time fast.
When I got home I asked the unknown guy a question, and said "who the hell are you?", but there was no response.
Two days passed...
I'm too afraid to go out, I started imagining things that might happen, but whenever I think about it, I feel my heart pounding so hard, so I stop.
My phone rang, I'm too afraid of reaching out and seeing from who the text is from. I make myself see it by telling myself that I'm going to see it both ways whether it's now or later. The text message was from Alex thank god. He was asking me if I had anytime so he could sit with me and talk, but this time I didn't have time to even respond, so I told him that I'm busy these couple of days because I'm busy with scout things, and of course that made him quiet. My phone rang another time, and of course I thought it was Alex, but no the text was from the unknown man who texted me two days ago, "I'm someone you would never know, and if you knew who I was you'd regret being alive..." he said, but this time I answered right away and told him "what the hell do you want? What have I ever done to you?" He totally ignored my questions and talked saying "of course you're afraid of getting out of the house, of your little hide away from the world spot, right?" I have no idea how he knew that I'm afraid of getting out of the house or that my house is the place I hide in whenever I feel uncomfortable. "I guess you're now dressed up and about to go out of the house, but too bad you're too afraid of me, right?" He texted me again. The only question I wanna ask is how does he know all that? Does he have a camera in my house?
Wait! Does he have a camera in my house? And my imagination starts to feel that there is a camera in every place in the house, in every room, and in every single spot. I decided to leave the house because it was getting late.
When I finished and was about to leave when my phone rang, but this time he said "stars only shine so bright when the sky is as dark and don't ever let anyone flash a light to make you shine less than you should. Be careful."
