~~Aaron's P.O.V~~

I started at the man standing in front of me in shock. This was the guy from the anniversary dinner, the guy who kept watching us and followed us home, not like we even noticed considering what else we did that night.

But that didn't matter right now. The man standing there staring back at me reached a hand up and ran it through his dark brown hair flicking it to the side. He smiled at me before quickly walking off. My heart was beating out of my chest now and I quickly walked to the entrance.

I put all the items in front of the check out lady and shakily handed her the money I got from Mark. She looked at me oddly but didn't question, thankfully. I looked around the store in search of the stalker and caught his eye once again. He grinned at my nervousness and I could see his brown eyes gleam with excitement as he watched me.

I grabbed the few bags I had and dashed for the car. Mark was sitting in there staring at his phone and head banging slightly to whatever song was playing in the car. I turned back around to see Mr. Stalker at the entrance of the store waving at me. My eyes widened and I quickly hopped in the car.

"Whoa, Aaron are you okay?" Mark asked as I quickly but shakily buckled myself in. I nodded, but then thought. I should really tell him I mean who knows if this is just coincidence or if he really is following me.

"U-uh, no," I took a deep breath trying to calm myself. "I-I think someone is f-following me."

Mark looked at me like I was crazy. "Aaron what are you talking about?"

"T-the anniversary dinner, h-he was there watching and now," I panicked.

"Maybe it was just someone who was watching us because maybe they just looked at us or, I don't Aaron. Maybe it was just coincidence that you ran into him again." He tried to reason.

I shook my head. It's no use, he wouldn't understand. But maybe it was just coincidence. But why would he wave and be weird like that and follow me around the store? I have no idea, sometimes people are just really weird.

"O-okay, can we just go home now?" I asked. Mark nodded and grabbed hold of my hand and held it at the center console.

"We'll go home and I'll make you some hot relaxing tea and we can stay in bed for the rest of the day okay? I'll take tomorrow off too if you want." Mark suggested. Marks job was a video game programmer and reviewer. He helped give ideas and like give his thoughts on different videos games he watches or plays. It's actually a nice paying job that he loves to do and it wasn't far away. When we moved across town, this made him closer to his job so he could take a few more days off than normal and work later.

I shook my head. "You can go tomorrow, I'm just a little confused is all." I said quietly.

"Are you sure?" He asked. I nodded.

"Yeah, it's all right. No need to miss work because of me getting spooked." I said smiling slightly at him. He nodded and soon we were driving home, but I couldn't get the image of the man out of my head.

~~Ashlyn's P.O.V~~

After my dads had left and the student guide had shown me around, I made my way to my first class. I was honestly scared to see how today would turn out, I mean I know I just switched schools from across town but it was still new. Maybe it would be the same, maybe I would actually make a friend and who knows, maybe get a boyfriend or girlfriend. I think to far ahead of myself.

I shook my head and stepped into my class. Heads instantly turned towards me and glared, even the teacher.

"Uh, h-hi, I'm Ashlyn." I said stepping in and approaching who I guess was my teacher, Ms. Mika. Her blue eyes stared at me annoyed and she flicked her head to the side to move her black hair out of her eyes.
