That boy's watching me all the time. My friends noticed, too. He doesn't turn the other way when we glare at him, he just stands there watching me in the classrooms, the cafeteria, and when I go into the bathroom, he's there. Behind the lockers. Watching me.
But every time this happens my best friend is always there. His name's Joel Sanchéz, and he's from Puerto Rico. It's really cool to have someone as a best friend who's not from United States. But, I don't want to be his best friend. I want to be his best friend, and girlfriend. The truth is that I had a crush on him since eight grade, now, we're juniors and still... I'm in love with him.
As I was telling; my best friend, Joel, always tries to stand by my side, because of the "stalker" guy. I think that Joel has this thing about always standing behind me, and when Noah Rogers(creepy guy) walks by us, he moves to the front. I think Joel wants Noah to look deeply into his olive-eyes, so he could be intimidating. I appreciate it, only that I feel like he's doing it as a best friend should, he doesn't seems to do it because he's scare that someone might hurt me, and that I'd fall in love with another guy.
"Rose, are you felling alright? Did the geeky Chucky talked to you or anything?" Joel said from behind me. Goose bumps form in my arms. It's creepy to think someone is always following you. My friends took it like a joke, but both, Joel and I know that there's something going on. Sometimes, he makes jokes, and I laugh, but we both know we are dying of fear. Why don't we do something? Every school staff hates us, I don't know why, but I'm starting to feel they're in Noah's side. If we say something bad about him, we probably will get expelled. They say "Noah?! As like, Noah Rogers? Stalking a girl? Kids, Mister Rogers would never do something like that... you should be ashamed of yourselves for accusing him."
"He hasn't moved from the last table behind us. Is he looking this way?" I saw when Joel tried to look to the table where Noah was. The light, that trespassed the crystal windows of the cafeteria, made contact with Joel's body, and it made him look like an angel. That moment I could really see how beautiful he was; how every girl wanted to be with him. I mean, I fell in love with him a long time ago, but I had fallen for his heart; for his personality. Now, I could see he was both; beautiful on the outside, and beautiful on the inside. As my little day dream was getting more fictional, Joel's eyes reflected fear and rage at the same time.
"This has to stop!" Joel was standing now. Strands of his black hair fell on his face, hiding one of his eyes. He walked to where Noah was sitting, but before he could do anything, I snapped out of the trance and walked to where Joel and Noah were looking at each other.
I grabbed Joel's right sleeve of his green jacket, and pulled him back, where Noah couldn't hear our conversation. "Forget it. Don't go. Stay with me."
"Don't worry, Rose, he's not going to hurt anybody. I got this, just, wait here." He was about to walk off, when he turned to me. He placed his hands in my cheeks. "Rose, I'll be fine." He kissed my forehead, and when he walked back to the table, I could feel my forehead still warm, and I could feel his presence next to me, telling me that everything would be fine.
