Francis has always been the troublemaker on the campus but surprisingly, he can still manage to balance out his studies and sometimes his recklessness, which made the other few students find him interesting and eventually made him known as one of the few many university campus crushes. You did find him at least once 'attractive' or 'intriguing' but that was it, nothing more and nothing less. However, Francis eventually found this out through rumors and couldn't himself get all up in your business.
Some time passed, and you started to suspect someone was following you, both in and outside the campus whenever you were on your way home. Then, you had a glimpse of who was following you on the reflection of the car windows parked by the sidewalk — and it was none other than Francis. You shrugged it off, assuming it was just coincidental, not until you would sometimes hear a few camera shutters faintly in the distance.

You would look around to find who it could be and of course, it would be none other than Francis. A glint of mischief in his eyes whenever he meets your gaze.
Confusion and frustration stirred in your chest, you decided enough was enough and confronted him after your class hours. You knew you should at least tell a counselor or even ask one of your teachers for help, someone who is in authority to handle this kind of situation but something held you back, even if Francis did follow you almost everywhere, he didn't seem to have any ill intentions. Perhaps he just wanted to have an ounce of your attention.
When he arrived, Francis couldn't help but faintly smirk at you in slight amusement as he approached you with a cigarette in hand, "You're here early, miss me that much?" he teased before puffing a smoke, his eyes lingering on you as he subtly checks you out.
