I never understood why he kept following me, maybe that's why I was so uncomfortable. I'd take a seat in the library, open my books and put in my headphones. Then he would sit down in front of me. It took a while before I noticed, I was never good with faces. But I saw him almost every time I went there. Soon enough he had done it twenty times.
I didn't care at first. I don't own the library, he wasn't doing anything wrong.
But then I caught him looking at me, I don't know what he wanted. He never said a word. Just leered at me, near enough to reach me, but never making a move.
I couldn't focus, so I left when he approached.
But I did want to stay there, wanted to study in that library environment. So one day I just moved seats when he came along. I packed up and headed to the entrance, but I turned around and walked to another seat. I thought I had cracked the code. But he joined me there minutes later. He couldn't see me from where he had been sitting. He followed me there. It made me wonder if he followed me home.
I didn't go back to the library again. I was too scared.

He noticed her first, taking the seat in front of her once, twice... Eventually he found a new routine. Maybe that was all there was to it. Maybe he just didn't want to sit alone.
But he did look at her, a lot. Staring when she was focused, turning away rapidly when she glanced up. Maybe he just thought she was pretty. Maybe he was too shy to make the first move. Creating a situation where she would approach him. He might not have had ill intentions.
But surely he realized that she wanted nothing to do with him. She got up the second he sat down. It can't have been a coincidence. He must have seen what he was doing.
Maybe he was hoping to apologize, is that why he followed her that time? Did he want to communicate something? Did she run away before he could formulate it?
How did he feel when he didn't see her again? Was he worried about her? Was he annoyed at her overreaction?
Was he trying to scare her? To hurt her? That's what he ended up doing, no matter the intent. He must have understood that. How did it feel for him to have that control?
He never did explain his intentions and now he'll never see her again. Maybe he regrets that, maybe he thinks it's funny.
