Um, so I have an actual real life stalker now.
He's this kid I met online in a pokemon thread somewhere, and he became my friend on the forums, but then he got creepy and asking me if we could talk in real life and stuff.
I was like, no thanks.
He's 17 years old, and he started bothering me about how we have so much in common and how I should consider being his girlfriend. So, I was like, hell no thanks. At that time, I was dating Matt anyways, and I told him to leave me alone because I wasn't single. So he was like, well please just let me be your friend. Then he got in some kind of trouble with his mom and can't send emails that often or whatever. So, I was like, yay. He'll leave me alone. But then I got this creepy email yesterday.
" I have good news! In just a few months I'll be turning 18, and there's nothing my mom can do to stop us from being together and meeting in person!!!"
So I was like...WHOA. WHAAAT? WTF. And, I blocked his email. I could have just taken it the wrong way, but that sounded way creepy, and I don't WANT to meet him in person.
And now, the really creepy stuff starts.
Today in math class I got a phone call that I couldn't answer. After class I checked to see who it was, but didn't recognize the number, and when I don't recognize the number or it says unknown then I usually don't bother to answer it. Anyway, so I forgot about it until I got back to my room and got a text message. Here's the text message correspondence we had.
" Guess who! ;)"
" Who is this?"
" It's me! Frith!"
" Um...how did you get this number..."
" Long story. Believe me when I say tracking you down wasn't easy."
" Believe me when I say it's creepy as hell. I demand to know how you got this number."
" Your brother. You stopped answering my emails a long time ago and I was worried about you so I did a hell of a lot of looking online and figured out how to get ahold of you." (2 page text message)
" My brother? What did you tell him to get him to give you my number? I have a boyfriend, so if that's why you're still trying to bother me I don't date over the internet. OR over the phone." ( 2 page text)
" I said I was your friend. I hadn't heard from you in forever! Maybe this was a bad idea, babe."
" Don't call me babe."
At this point I called my brother and asked him if some guy had asked for my number. He said yes, my friend Jerrod had called and said he lost my phone number and needed it again. This was creepy, because this guy was not my friend Jerrod, and I don't even know how he KNEW I have a friend named Jerrod, or how he found out I have a brother. Then, I got another text.
" I'm sorry. I didn't mean to upset you. I just wanted to make sure you're ok. What kind of friend would I be if I didn't care? But it seems I've just made matters worse. Forgive me, please, oh god please forgive me..." (2 page text)
" Jerrod? You told him you were my friend Jerrod? You've been STALKING me. What else do you know about my personal contacts?"
" No! Not at all! Look, the only reason I did this was because I was worried something might have happened to you. You dropped contact for months. I was worried I might not ever get to talk to you again for the rest of my life." (2 page text)
By now, Dustin was more pissed than I've ever seen a man get, and took my phone away from me.
" this is stacey's boyfriend. if you call here again, i'll be picking up. if you continue to call here, we're calling the police. Understand?"
" Just tell her this. She has friends here, and we were all worried about her. We meant no harm."
That last one creeped me out because what the hell does he mean by 'we'?
Then, I didn't talk to him for about 20 minutes and now I'm being bombarded with texts again.
" Stacey you know me better than this! Do you honestly ever think I meant to betray your trust? I panicked. I needed to talk to you. I need to see you. What else was I supposed to do? Wait around until something actually happened to you?"
So, I responded with:
" I'm having my number changed tomorrow."
I'm still getting texts but I'm not responding. I'll be going over to Alltel as soon as possible to get a new phone number.
My own personal stalker.
Not at all as cool as it sounds.
