Raye had one thing in mind when she picked up her phone from the bed stand .
End things with this total stranger .
Like hell she would follow Jane plans by chatting with him she thought scoffing loudly she stared at her phone like it might explode.
Her thumb hovered over the keyboard as she tried to come up with the perfect message to shut down this texting circus before it got too weird.
Because, let's be real — who texts a stranger for hours after school, especially when that stranger knows way too much?
Way too much for a total STRANGER.
She didn't know her life was so interesting for a person to start stalking .
Sighing tiredly she looked at the walls , staring at the small posters .
She missed maths lecture because of this situation ...it had to stop .
She typed, deleted, typed again:
Raye:
"Okay, listen. This is fun and all, but I don't do the whole 'mystery texting buddy' thing. So… this is a one-time thing, okay? No sequel. No spin-off."
She hit send and waited.
Her heart pounded.
Seconds later, the reply popped up:
Raye felt like crying at this point .
Was the person that jobless that he just replied to her text only.
It hadn't be up to a minutes , but she had already gotten a reply .
Unknown:
"No promises."
Raye rolled her eyes but couldn't hide the grin tugging at her lips.
Suddenly ,she landed a hard slap on her face , which she regretted after a few minutes cause it stung like HELL !!.
She massaged her cheek slowly _ why was she grinning like a child who was just offered candy .
But the stranger knew how to flirt in his own ways .
What was wrong with her? She was literally arguing with a random number on her phone like it was her bestie.
But this wasn't just any number.
Raye kept chatting with the guy not realizing her intial plans was to end it .
But the guy got her hooked up when he listed a few things Raye did _ which she couldn't deny she did .
He knew her.
The way she bit her lip when she was nervous.
Even the fact that she always put ketchup on her fries after tasting them (a terrible habit).
That was not information a stranger just had.
Raye's brain went into overdrive.
He was definitely someone from school ...that was for sure .
But who ??.
She wasn't the type that spoke to boy that much _ yes a few of them were her friends but not to the extent of noticing this slight details about her .
The only person she knew that was close to her was Joshua .
. They were friends _ at least for a few weeks now .
Everything seemed perfect _ he even looked like he was warming up to her .
But it appeared it was just something else ... She formed in her little , stupid mind .
Raye wasn't use to dating that much , Joshua was her first crush .
So anytime he placed his hand on hers during a simple handshake or study section in the library _ she mistook it for something else .
The last hug did it that day ...Joshua had a very bad thing for hug .
He didn't mind sharing a hug with someone especially Raye , not bothering about the person's heart .
Sighing she tried to forget the whole thing and focus on the situation at hand .
The football captain? Too obvious.
The quiet art kid? Maybe.
That guy who always sits in the back of the library, pretending to read but probably just people-watching? Possibly.
People say the quiet kid are always the wild one .
Beside people do feel comfortable a little by texting ...they could show their wild , flirty side at that point .
One .....they couldn't see the other person face , if they were angry , suprised or just losing their mind ...like she is now .
The problem was — she had no clue which one.
She sighed, running her finger again through her hair , before using her tongue to wet her dry lip.
Raye typed back:
Raye:
"Okay, mystery man. Give me a hint. Something real."
The answer came instantly:
Unknown:
"I'm closer than you think. Closer than the guy who forgot his math homework last week."
Her eyes widened.
The only person she knew who forgot his math homework last week? Evan.
Evan— the annoying, nerdy guy who was the absolute good at biology but somehow the best at everything else.
He was almost a close competitor with Joshua who was one of the top student in the class .
But Evan _ .
Raye clicked her tongue rolling to lie down on the bed as she stared at the white ceiling .
She didn't pick Evan to be a flirty type .
And secondly Evan _ Evan wasn't her type .
He was _ well ....he was just a mouthful .
Always speaking grammars that should be banned in seven different country .
He was explaining something in biology lab or so .
The word was so hard to pronounce....it was em ...
Ok yeah hypalbuminemia .
Yeah that was it .
It took her an hour to learn how to pronounce that word .
But Evan said it like he was saying mum .
Raye turned to look at the clock by her side before picking it up to set the time .
She didn't picture Evan to be that kind of guy .
But people do want to have their own fair share of fun _ he might be the quiet and _ too smart guy in school but at night he becomes a creepy weird stalker .
Who had a very bad thing for making girl heart flutter at his word .
But if it was him , Raye wasn't that thrilled again . That guy was a quiet bully who looked down on people.
He was the one who always smirked when she got answers wrong in class.
Raye's shook her head eyes wide like she just watched a horror movie.
No.
It couldn't be.
Not Evan.
She had a rule:
No feelings for Evan.
No feelings at all.
Just anger , not like she cared about the guy ...but he was annoying .
Unlike Joshua who would teach her with a smile _ Evan would rather boil her with his big words making her curse the person who brought school to existence.
She typed quickly:
Raye:
"Evan? Are you messing with me?"
SHE WAITED .....for minutes , pulling , tugging and dragging her hair as she walked back and forth in her room .
" Ugh " Raye growled in frustration stomping her foot on the floor .
It was him ...geez .
Why else didn't he reply .
She heard a sharp knock on her door , before Jane peeked her head into the small gap .
"Are you starting an army in here , what's up??".
"I just figured out who the stalker might be " Raye said barely audible but Jane who was ready for gossip , her ear picked it up ,she immediately came into the room , making herself comfortable on Raye's bed .
"Come sit down here " . She patted the space beside her as she watched Raye reluctantly walk up to her slowly .
This news wasn't something one would say while standing Jane thought her curiousity was already highten and she couldn't wait to hear the guy's name .
"Is it Mr William "Jane asked receiving a serious look from Raye she corrected herself . "Ok sorry , no jokes or saucy comment , what's the problem ???".
"I think its Evan ".
"Wait..... what !"
