Stalker

I woke up as early as expected. I just washed my face and mumbled before I went down. I caught mom in the kitchen. I hugged her from behind, she just smiled at me and continued what she was doing.

"Where's Chadd?" I asked her.

"Still sleeping" I let go of the hug and sat down at the counter.

"This time he usually wake up" I replied to mom. I just watched her slicing the meat that she would add to the vegetables she was going to cook.

"He stayed for a night to watch over you so he just sleep" she telling me that with a smile.

"Really?" I'm so shoock. I didnt know about that.

She nodded at me and looked into my eyes "The Charge of our generator ran out last night. The electricity hasn't come back yet, he thinks that maybe you woke up at that time, so he watched over you. Maybe the electricity came back at 4 or 5"

My heart beat faster. It's my fault again. I don't want to lose him. Why is he so worried about me? I sighed. "I will check him" mom nodded in response to what I said while smiling.

When I arrived outside Chadd's room I was still hesitant whether I would come in or not because I was scared again. I closed my eyes and wiped away some tears dripping from my eyes.

I sighed and slowly turned the doorknob. I peeked into his room before slowly entering. I saw him lying on the bed. He is still asleep. I check the time beside his table. It's still early, so he can still sleep. I smiled as I slowly walked closer to him.

I sat on the side of her bed and touched her forehead. I breathed a sigh of relief when he was not hot. I smiled as I stared at his face. He really cared about me. When I closed my eyes I felt something fall from my eyes, so I immediately wiped it.

I was about to stand up when he touched my wrist thats how he stopped me "What time is it?" He ask me with his eyes closed with a sweet tone of his voice.

"Its still early, you can sleep more" I replied to him.

He looked up but also immediately closed his eyes because of the light when the sun's rays penetrated through his window. I smiled.

He leaned over and took the alarm clock table beside his bed "Damn" he was weak when he saw the clock. "Mom is downstairs?" I nodded at his question. He was about to stand up when I pushed him, causing him to lie down again. He looked at me in astonishment.

"Its still early. You can still sleep. Mom already told me that you stay at night" the shock on his face disappeared, and it was replaced seriously.

"I need to--"

I cut off what he was going to say "let me help mom this time"

"I let you do that yesterday"

"Let me do that again today" he would have spoken when I raised an eyebrow at him, so he just smiled.

"You are doing that to me" he laughed. He noticed that I imitated him.

"Its look effective so, why not?" I laughed. I took his alarm clock and set the alarm. "Maybe we're done cooking this time so, you can go back to sleep. Its still fair time. You can still do what you want to do. Its still early" I smiled at him when I caught him looking at me.

He just nodded and closed his eyes. It's good that he's easy to talk to now but if not. I'm ready to make a war with him. While smiling, I arranged his hair so that he would not be tickled and after that I leave his room.

I helped mom in the kitchen. I also know how to cook. Mom taught me and let helped me her with housework when Chadd agreed or when Chadd was not here.

I had just finished setting the table when Chadd came down. He was still stretching as he walked with his eyes closed. I smiled at him after he opened his eyes and he smiled at me back.

After we ate, Chadd volunteered to clean and wash the dishes. Mom and I just let it go. Mom went straight to the living room to watch. She was watching something at this time everyday. Its called Running man, I'm not sure though.

I went up to my room and did what I had to do. After I got ready I took my phone to text Sam before I went down.

'You want anything?'

'Ice creaam' I smiled 'You going here today?'

'You don't want it?'

'Are you kidding? I actually love it' I laughed softly at her reply to me.

'I'll be there after class'

'Take care'

I went down smiling. Mom was waiting for me at the door I hugged her, she kissed me on the cheek and hugged me.

I used to have Chadd waiting for me while leaning on the side of his car, but now it's different, he turned his back on me while looking at the car not far away while talking on his cellphone.

I looked at the car he was looking at. Yesterday I noticed this too. Everywhere we go its also there, or maybe it's a different car because it's not the only black car in this world.

Chadd notoced me so, he smiled at me. Chadd opened the door for me and I entered immediately. I just stared at him inside. It didn't take long for him to drop the call and stare at the car in the back for a moment before turning around and getting on.

"Is there a problem?" I asked him when he entered.

He put on his seat belt first before looking at me smiling "Everything is fine" I just nodded, and I also wore my seat belt.

His answer was weird. I also catch him looking in the side mirror and rear mirror. I was just looking at him. He only smiles when our eyes meet.

I didn't speak about this thing anymore and just browsed my cellphone. When we arrived at the school, he dropped me off at the main gate. He did not look at me, and he just looked in the rear mirror.

I walked away from him slowly. When I heard he left I stopped walking and turned around. I saw the black car again. I check the plate number, and it was exactly the one. It's really the same one with the black car in front of my house.

I walked into the school nervously. I could hear my heart beating. When I got to the room I immediately sat down in my chair while catching my breath.

I got my phone and I texted my mom. I'm worried. I don't want to lose one of them or both of them. I can't handle it because of me, again.

'Mom'

'Yes, sweetie?' I'm glad that she reply fast.

'I just miss you, mom'

'Aww. I love you. Come home safely for both of you '

I think mom is not his target that means he wants one of us. Who? Cadd? Or Me? I took a deep breath before I looked at my CP because I felt it vibrate.

'I know that you notice it'

'About what?' I pretended not to know what he meant.

'I will take care of this. Don't worry. Don't do anything, just relax. I will handle this'

I frowned. My plan is to pretend that no one knows so that he can tell me what is happening and who is next to us.

Chadd and I are the ones that man needs. It crossed my mind that I was the one that man was looking for because of Chadd's released statement that I would not do anything. I decide to not reply him anything.

I focus on my class. At the same time, almost all subjects provide activities like quizzes, projects, activities, etc. This month we only have 3 weeks. In the last week of this month there is an event that will take place so there is no class for the whole week, and we have 2 weeks to prepare before the exam. Our first exam will take place in the 3rd week of this month.

I'm glad and happy that our other recitations are through games, so everyone can participate and everyone can enjoy. I will talk to Sam about what she plans to do if she does not attend school until the exam day.

"Audrey" I looked at her, who was part of my group. "Sir called you" when I looked ahead they were looking at me and sir was in front of me.

I stood up and bowed "I'm sorry"

"That's fine. Take your seat" I sat down immediately. "Lets start"

I sighed and looked at the white board and pen tel pen I was holding. They gave me that I did not even realize because of what I was thinking. I was embarrassed.

"What is the meaning of AAAS"

I wrote my name and my group number on the white board and raised it. I just really need to focus on school works first, I don't want to fail.

"Audrey"

I stood up as he called me and replied "American Association for the Advancement of Science, pronounced 'Triple-A ess'."

Our professor put the score of my group because I could answer so the men in my row shouted. Our professor joked that the score would be erased, so they fell silent and we women just laughed.

I noticed that I was the only one holding the white board. I just noticed that my name is written in board so I'm the leader of my group. What is happening to me? I was too occupied. Ok, Rey. It's time to focus. Let's win this game.

"What do you mean by absolute zero" I did not hesitate to immediately raise the board I was holding, but I was not the first, so I was not called.

"Audrey" I turned to my group who called me "Fighting" I laughed a little and made a fighting sign, so I imitated that too.

I heard that the other group answered incorrectly, so I raised mine, so I was called again "The theoretical lowest temperature possible at which all molecular motion ceases. Absolute zero, 0 K or -273.15 °C, has never been reached." My group mates shouted again when sir scored our group number on the board.

"Next, who is John Couch Adams"

I raised my board again but I put it down immediately before our prof call me. I was confused by the names, so I looked at my group, and we do brainstorming first. We also agreed that one of the boys would answer, so they do there best to memorize, when they mastered it they raised the white board.

I looked at another group they still brainstorming "Welsh astronomer, born near Launceston, Cornwall (1819-1892). He successfully predicted the existence of a then-unknown planet (Neptune) based on perturbations in Uranus' orbit. He also studied the Leonid meteor shower, successfully predicting its occurrence and proving its association with Tempel's Comet. "

"Ahhhhhh" said the other group.

"Quiet. Next question" he looked at us all before looking back at his index card to read the question "What is amorphous" I did not hesitate to immediately raise the hand of my classmate holding our white board, so we were tempted of my group mates because we seem to be holding hands.

I immediately stood up when I was called "Having no specific arrangement or organization. Amorphous solids are those that have no specific arrangement of atoms and usually melt over a broad temperature range and break unpredictably, producing fragments with irregular, often curved surfaces."

We quietly cheer each other again. The game took about 2 hours to finish. The other group chased each others score. The groups almost tied in the heat of the battle.

So our professor decided that 100 all of the active members and 95 were not that active and 85 for people who were not contributing. We all nodded there and wrote our name on the paper, one by one we were also called and raised our hand and he would write something on the paper.

After a few minutes of rest our 2nd prof entered. It's a good thing we just had a lesson because otherwise we would go crazy.

One by one my classmates came out because it was break time. It looks like I will be left alone in the room again. I gasped.

"Audrey" I looked up at my classmate who called me. He was carrying a paper bag.

"Where did that come from? Is that for me?" I even pointed to myself.

He nodded "Someone is giving this to you, but I don't know who" I nodded and took it. I also thanked him.

If my suspicion is correct the sender yesterday and today is a same person. I close my eyes to what I am thinking. I am the one who he wants, I can sense it. If my guess is right he is the one who seems to be sending this to me.
