There were pictures of me sleeping on my bed, wearing a light nightgown. The girl held a pillow like a stuffed doll in between her arms, making her appear more adorable. I didn't know I moved a lot when I slept on my bed, finding me in different poses. Another one was where she was eating a strawberry shortcake inside the café. With some cream on her lips with her innocent smile, you couldn't help but want to keep her close to you.
Some other common pictures were when she slept on her desk in the classroom. It was a schoolgirl theme with the stunning photos taken when she walked around the hallways. With some closeups, I wondered where this person was taking them. Luke could never find out about this, knowing my freedom would become even more restricted. There had to be a way to delete the fan page.
"Most of them were posted today," Sienna tried to comfort me.
"This is pretty extreme," Oili scrolled through the posts.
"Do you know a way to delete them?" I turned to them for help.
When both Sienna and Oili shook their heads, I looked at Ethan next. I was never so glad that Shelly was distracting Luke and Alex with Delia and Cillian to give me more time of my own today. Maybe they already knew about the new posts, trying to give us some time in fixing this mess. Worst case scenario, I would have to learn some hacking skills or search for a spell that would take care of it.
"I'll even give you five cages of bugs," I brought out my best offers.
"Only the owner can erase them," Ethan seemed stunned with my new stalker.
"We have to hide them from Luke or I'm going to die," I wondered if they had other ideas.
"Hide what?" Luke opened the club room door.
"Nothing," I elbowed Sienna to close her screen.
"What trouble did you cause this time?" Alex narrowed his eyes.
"Do you guys know?" he turned to Shelly, Delia and Cillian.
"We don't have an obligation to tell you," Shelly stalled for some time.
When I shot a glance to ask Delia and Cillian if they knew, both of them nodded their heads. I started to tiptoe out of the club room, trying to escape while I could. Although I didn't like having a stalker, it was better than relying on Luke to delete the photos for me. I mouthed at Cillian to clear the way to the door. Unfortunately Luke noticed, closing the door behind him. With no other choice, I ran to the window, deciding to jump down instead.
"Can you lock the window?" Luke requested our president.
"What's going on Rika?" He blocked all my escape routes.
"What could be going on?" I avoided his eyes.
"Charles sent me a message to look at her fan page," Alex smiled.
"I'll do three workbooks today without complaining if you don't look at the fan page!" I blurted to convince them.
I was about to cry when Alex went on the fan page, standing beside Luke. Both of them hardened, scrolling through all the photos posted today. Although I didn't have the chance to read the comments, it couldn't be good when Luke's eyes went wide. I knew the photos made things seem worse than it actually was. The first district had to have better professional cameras with their advanced technology.
"I'll help you check the dorm room," Alex frowned the most at the pictures taken inside my bedroom.
"How could you think of trying to hide this?" Luke trembled.
"The pictures aren't that bad," I couldn't deny my stalker was pretty dedicated to me.
"Let's start with checking the club room," our president offered.
"Get away from the window first Rika," Luke found the most likely place where more pictures could be taken.
"We're going to the teachers' office together," he grabbed my hand.
On our way to the teachers' office, Luke tried to block me from everyone's line of sight with Alex. I knew they would act this way, sighing while hoping it wouldn't last for a long time. After knocking on the door, he didn't wait for an answer to come inside. Anyone could tell both of them were mad, all the teachers hoping they wouldn't become the target of their questions. Luke walked to the closest desk, "can I know why the school is not doing anything when pictures of my partner were taken without permission?"
"Pictures?" The teacher didn't seem to know anything yet.
Alex opened my fan page, filled with my photos. With all the teachers seeing where some of the pictures were taken, they froze. All of them went silent, not knowing how to appease Luke's anger. When Luke glared at them to do something, one of the teachers used their authority to delete the fan page while others started to investigate how it was happening. But when the fan page got deleted, another one popped up to take its place.
In fact, more pictures got released. I shuddered when I was in my bathrobe for one of them, showing my wet hair. The drenched girl appeared memorising, bringing a new appeal. The angle that showed the droplets of water running down her skin with her dewy face brought a new sense of purity. Seeing the view count being over a thousand already, I read the comments that thought the same as me.
