I noticed him following me around. Sometimes, he would

call out my name loudly in the hallways, bringing

everyone’s attention to me. Other times, he would

purposely bump into me in class or the cafeteria. I often

caught him doing nothing but following silently behind me.

He knew it annoyed me, and he did it on purpose. To.

Irritate. Me.

A week ago, I was completely invisible to Maddox

Coulter.

Now, I was the center of his attention.

The deal breaker was when he broke into my locker and

stole my spare shirt. He even left a note: What’s the color

of your bra today?

Actually no, that wasn’t the worst part.

The worst part was when he decided to reenact a scene

from Romeo and Juliet in the cafeteria…

He was Romeo, standing on the table, and loudly

confessing his undying love to Juliet for the whole room to

hear.

Who was Juliet?

Oh me…

He was being dramatic and overly exaggerated his

performance for one reason only: to embarrass me.

Everyone stared… snickered… laughed, until Riley and I

were forced to leave the cafeteria; we ended up having to

eat lunch under a staircase. I hated hiding, I hated the

attention, and Riley… she was about to blow up.

Maddox was waiting for a reaction, he was egging me

on… pushing and pushing, waiting for me to snap, like I did

in the coffee shop. But I vowed I wouldn’t play his stupid

games.

He would eventually stop, I convinced myself. He’d grow

bored of me soon enough, I told myself. I was wrong again.

On Thursday, a week after handling his nonsense,

Maddox still hadn’t given up.
