Psycho-stalker Stories

Sophie Lane is used to flying under the radar. Smart, quiet, and reserved, she blends into the background at her college-until she gathers the courage to ask out the one guy who seems completely out of her league. Ethan Vale is everything she's not: effortlessly confident, a little reckless, and the center of attention without even trying. When he says yes, Sophie is shocked-and immediately backs out, overwhelmed by doubt. She tries to move on, brushing it off as a moment of boldness gone wrong. But Ethan doesn't forget. And he doesn't stop watching. At first, Sophie thinks she's imagining it. The lingering glances across campus. The way his friends always seem to know where she is. The familiar faces near her dorm, even though she's rarely there-always buried in assignments, studying in the library, or spending late nights in the lab. The only place she's never seen him? The forensic lab. Her one safe haven. For now. Then a friend casually mentions Ethan's name-along with the word "psychopath" and whispers of incidents no one dares speak about. Assault. Harassment. Warnings that were never taken seriously. Suddenly, everything starts to click into place. She regrets ever speaking to him. But it might already be too late. Because Ethan Vale isn't just watching anymore. He's waiting.
