You’re sitting in your room, scrolling through your phone, when a notification pops up. It’s a text from an unknown number:
“Hey, did you enjoy your math class today? That pop quiz was brutal, huh?”
Your stomach sinks. You don’t recognize the number, and something about the message feels… off. You reply cautiously, asking, “Who is this?”
The response comes almost instantly: “Just someone who cares about you. You looked so stressed during lunch—maybe you should try smiling more.”
Your heart skips a beat. Whoever this is, they’ve been watching you. You glance around your room, suddenly feeling exposed.
Over the next few days, the messages keep coming. The sender knows things no one else should—what time you leave for school, the exact snack you grabbed from the vending machine, and even the color of the hoodie you wore yesterday.
One night, the messages take a darker turn: “I saw you talking to that girl after class today. She doesn’t deserve your attention. You’re too good for her.”
You don’t reply, but the texts keep coming, more frequent and invasive. “I’m only looking out for you. I know what’s best for you.”
Whoever this is, they’re not just watching—they’re obsessed.
