"Look at him, he looks suspicious doesn't he?"
"He totally does! I mean, why wear a jacket, a cap, a sunglasses and a mask in this humid weather."
Two women who are probably in their 40's are loudly whispering to each other inside a convenience store.
They sneakily keep stealing glances on a boy who's quietly looking at the beef and chicken cup noodles.
"You're right! What if he's a stealer or a wanted man!"
Suddenly, The boy eyes could be seen in the gap of his glasses started looking sharp. He glared at the cup noodles infront of him. A mysterious dark aura began emitting on his entire body.
Gulp
'Did he heard it?' The two thought at the same time.
The old ladies could not see his whole expression but they knew that they have been caught on not only checking him out but also gossiping about him.
Their expressions became ugly.
'Gosh. What if this young boy was indeed a dangerous guy! What would happen to them?' The old ladies thought.
In panic, the two began to fasten their movements and immediately left the convenient store.
Meanwhile the young man on the cup noodle section is already cracking his head up because he was unable to choose between a chicken or a beef flavored cup noodles.
Why is he having lunch in this store if his school has a cafeteria? Well it's because he is currently being stalked. He sighed.
"Screw it. I'll just get the chicken one. Since it's way better." Art murmured, totally unaware that he just made two old women leave the store.
'Ah fuck. It's so hot.' The boy thought while looking for a vacant seat on the store.
Ah there. Finally, an empty seat.
He puts the snacks down he's been holding on the table. And then he noticed some strawberry milkshake placed on the table. There is a familiar note sticked on it.
'Hey, for you! And don't wear so much clothes. It's hot as hell!'
Art suddenly shuddered after reading the note. How could it not be familiar? He had seen it so many times already.
"Dang. Even here!?" He unconsciously exclaimed.
'How does he even know it's me when I'm fully covered.' He thought as he sighed. He didn't expect his stalker to recognize him even in full disguise.
Two weeks ago, he also received this same strawberry milkshake with a letter on it in his school cafeteria's favorite table. He didn't think of it as a big of a deal so he just ignored it but he then received the same milkshake the next day, the next-next day, and the day after.
He just kept seeing it on his table every day.
At first it was okay. He thought it was just some chick crushing on him but is shy to confront him.
But then, it started getting a lot more...personal.
He'll get a stolen picture of him on his locker with something written on it in the back. Sometimes it will greet or sometimes it will ask a question.
He was freaked out yet he still hid it all from everyone. His friends would probably just laugh it out and tease him about it.
A fully grown man? Being stalked?
Who knows? What if the news of him getting scared over this 'simple' matter spreads in school and resulting him to become a laughing stock?
He worked so hard to become famous and maintain his almost perfect being image in school and this thing would greatly tarnish his popularity.
He can't let it happen so he kept it a secret.
Not knowing what it will become.
Will it become alright? Or will it become a nightmare he will never escaped?
