「Turn right on the next corridor」
I followed my the instruction on my phone. It was from an unknown number but I trusted it. It saved me millions of times from accidents and situations.
「Go in the cafe and enter the staff room. I’ve made sure they’ll allow you to pass. Exit threw the back door」
Once I was out cafe, I was free from the stalkers. Recently, there have been danger in this city. For some reason, I can’t get out from here even if I try. It’s like someone is forcing me to stay in this place. It could be the person from my phone, my school, or my best friend who invited me.
I lived in the country side of Japan until a tsunami flooded our house. From then, I was transferred to Shinjuku, Tokyo. A friend of mine asked me to stay there until our place revives. For now, I live in a door with my friend and went to a private school.
「Go back to your dorm」
I was tired of obeying this ‘ace’ person. I feel like I made a fool out of myself. ‘Don’t listen to strangers’ was what mom’s usually say to their kids and how ironic! I’m doing the exact opposite!
「Who are you?」
I texted the stranger, hoping that he would reply this time. I started walking towards the school campus until I accidentally bumped into a teacher making his paper fly all over.
“I’m so sorry!” I apologised and helped him.
“Huh…” He gave me a glare.
He looked glared at me, as if I would make more trouble. Speaking of which, he could be the stalker who’s texting me. I felt something buzzing in my pocket. I dug threw my pocket, looking for my phone.
「I won’t hide myself from you but I won’t reveal myself that easily」
It was like a miracle. He finally replied to my message. I kept scrolling down.
「I’m not a stalker, I’m a hacker」
Suddenly, a phone call came from the same person. I pressed the green button and pressed my phone against my ear. My head swung from side to side, hoping I could see him but the whole place was filled with people talking on their phones.
“Kobayashi-san,” He was using a fake voice manipulator. “What are you gonna do after you find me? Why do you want to find me? After you know everything, are you going to be satisfied? Think carefully before meeting me and stay in the campus for tonight.”
“Wait-” The call ended. I dashed back to my room and locked the doors.
“What’s going on?” The semi long, black hair, fair skin, gymnastic friend, Shiki asked.
“Um…” How was I going to explain this? I can’t just tell her the truth! She’ll think I’m mad! “Uh… Since there are plenty of bad guys lately, we should lock the doors for safety!”
“What the hell? You sound like a kindergarten teacher,” She got out a potato chip and went to the sofa.
She turned on the TV, chilling. There was a news that the bad guys got caught in the cafe I just went threw. This was getting suspicious. On the other hand, I tumbled on to my bed as I held my phone against my face.
「Good night, Kobayashi-san. I’ll be looking forward in seeing you tomorrow」
