A while back I made a vent on here about some creep who stalked me and my friend around college and stole my college ID card (he was never caught, but in the previously mentioned posts, I go into a lot of detail about all the evidence piled against him, specifically the creepy amount of attention he drew to the picture of me on said ID card.) and for several months now, he has left me and my friends alone completely. I was just recalling the incident to someone today, when I remembered an encounter I had with him the other week, which, at the time, I had completely brushed off considering the fact he hadn’t said anything. The more I think about it, the more uncomfortable I start to feel, as I hadn’t really considered just how weird it had been, and I really don’t understand why I hadn’t, considering who he was.
Me and two of my friends (one of whom became our friend after the incident, and was unaware) had been heading off to lunch, and on our way to the canteen, we saw him. Not really strange, considering that since the initial incident, we’d seen him a lot (the college isn’t really that big) and since he never made any attempt to speak to us, we didn’t take much notice other than to instinctively speed up a little to move away from him. That was when we started queuing up for lunch in the canteen. My friends were just starting to pay for theirs, and as I was waiting to be served, I felt like someone was staring at me. When I turned around, there he was, standing directly behind me. I’m talking like, inches from my face. I almost jumped out of my skin and quickly turned around, and he tried to act normal. I got my lunch, and me and my friends ran out of there as fast as we could. Afterwards, we explained the situation to our other friend, but all of us ended up brushing this new incident off and started a new conversation topic.
This was over a week ago now, and it’s only just starting to settle into my mind how... off it was.
Again, I’m probably just over-exaggerating it in my mind, and it was likely a coincidence he was there, but considering the past, I can’t help but feel really uncomfortable about it now. I never told my parents about it because by the end of the day, I had completely forgotten about it, only probably remembering it now.
It’s probably nothing, as he seems to have taken to the staff’s warnings to stay away from us, and I haven’t seen him since, but I really just needed to get this off my chest.
