Waking up early Aliyah decided to meet Jason at the library so they could revise their chemistry project together before dawn, so they had enough time to make changes before the professor went over it. Getting into her car, she turns on the engine for the car to start, putting the heater on, due to it being chilly outside. Leaning back in her seat, her eyes fall on the rear view mirror.
Fear taking over her, she stares at the hooded figure writing the words, 'I see you', before running off. Getting out of the car, Aliyah looks around, seeing no one. Quickly wiping the frosted words off with her jacket, she gets back in the car, driving off.
Once she got to the school, she locked her car, heading to the library. Taking out her phone to use it as a flashlight, she drops it. Bending down to pick it up, Aliyah grabs her phone, turning on the flash, pointing it forward, seeing a pair of shoes. Screaming in fear, she backs away.
Looking up, she sees Jason raising his eyebrows in confusion. Gasping, she catches her breath, as Jason holds his hand out, to help her up. Taking his hand, she pulls herself up.
"Do I scare you?" He says, his accent seeping through his words. Clearing her throat, Aliyah makes up a lie, "No, just not used to this."
He chuckles at her words, walking down the hallway, side by side with her. "Your not used to going to school when it's dark out, how convenient."
Her thoughts clouded her mind, as he talked. Noticing her out of mind state, he pulls her back to reality. "Aliyah, how come you haven't let go of my hand yet?" He stops in front of the library with her, as she hums, coming out of her compulsion-like state.
Coming to her senses, she pulls her hand out of his, walking into the library, seeing Jonathan and Veronica. "Really?" She turns around, questioning him. "Where I go, they go." He defends, walking past her, going to sit with Jonathan and Veronica. "Great." Aliyah says to herself, sighing, before going to sit with them.

Hours later*
Jason and Aliyah gave their chemistry project to their professor at the end of the class getting good regards from him, "This is a great paper, the two of you work really well together." They look at each other, as the professor smiles. "it'll be graded by the end of the week." He places the paper with the others in a pile.
Walking out of the class room, Aliyah's thoughts took over her once again, taking her back to this morning and the hooded figure she saw. Grabbing her shoulder, Jason pulls her aside, seeing her state. "What's wrong?" He holds her shoulders, looking into her eyes.
Feeling somewhat safe in his space, Aliyah gives in. "I think I might have a stalker."
