Red's Desire - The stalker Obsession Ver.
13 parts Complete MatureFor a long time, Elaine had admired Jared from afar. He was everything she dreamed of-athletic, charming, and effortlessly popular. As a star on the basketball team, he was the talk of Harmony High, but even so, the admiration around him never reached the point of obsession. The students respected him, sure, but they weren't as smothering as Elaine was. She, on the other hand, couldn't control her feelings. Every glance he threw her way sent her heart racing. Every compliment, every smile, was like fuel to the fire of her unspoken love.
At first, Jared seemed flattered by her attention. She'd blush every time he noticed her, and she'd try to find ways to be near him-cheering louder at basketball games, joining clubs just so she could share the same space as him. For a while, it felt like the beginning of something. But then, as the weeks passed, Elaine began to notice something different. His glances became colder, and the casual greetings she'd once received turned into awkward silences.
For a while, Jared didn't seem to notice. In fact, he was probably relieved. But then, just as Elaine started to move on, he noticed a shift. She was no longer the girl who followed him everywhere, the girl who wore her heart on her sleeve. She had found something else, something he couldn't understand. He saw her with the new guy-the choir leader. And there was a spark in her eyes that he hadn't seen in a long time.
Suddenly, Jared was hit with a rush of emotions-anger, jealousy, but also something deeper, something like regret. Why hadn't he seen it before? Why had he let her slip away? All this time, she had been right there, loving him, but he hadn't bothered to learn about her. He knew everything about her through her actions, but what did he really know about her heart, her thoughts, her life?
