"Perfect paranoia is perfect awareness."


Have you ever got the feeling someone was watching you? That the person who was watching you somehow knew everything about you? And that when you would turn around, nobody would be there? Well, that's how I felt as I stood in the empty hallway of the English building, clutching my notebook tightly. I could feel my fingers going numb but I wouldn't move. I swore I heard someone behind me. No one can mistake the sound of boots but when I turned around no one was there. The lights just seemed to flash down on me as I darted my dark eyes around the hall. I don't know why I felt like this but I'm not paranoid because this has been happening for over a month. I would always leave the English building late at night because I'm the university's newspaper head and editor. I like to work on my photographs when I have spare time so I stay after hours and every night, when I start to leave I hear someone. I'm not saying that I am scared, it's just I'm not the strongest person out there and if the person was really big, they could have a blast. Like seriously, I was once run over by the football team when I left to go home. I'm not kidding but this guy saved me before I was seriously injured. He was odd too; like he stared at me for the longest time as if he wanted me to realize him. Then he laughed. It was warm laugh that left this fuzzy feeling in the air and then suddenly he stopped. It was like he went through a complete personality change and he looked at me again. I didn't notice before but his eyes were a deep crystalline blue. I stared at him; you rarely see blue eye blonds' in Japan. He let out sigh suddenly breaking the silence and mumbled something incoherently. I personally thought he was a little crazy since I had to get his attention.

(Flashback)

"Hey, are you okay?" I said. His blue eyes looked at me curiously before nodding his head. "Oh well, thanks for earlier…" I looked at his jacket. His name was sewed on it with a soccer ball in the corner. "Naruto."

He seemed to brighten when I said his name. It was strange; I never seen someone so happy to hear their name. He reached a tan hand up and pushed back his blond locks as I continued to stare, not use to having a full conversation. It was awkward. Then suddenly he shifted.

"You remember me Sasuke?" He asked with hope. I dropped my notebook when he said that. I didn't remember telling him my name. I'm not popular so it's not like the whole school knows who I am. He bent down, picking up my notebook. My photographs laid all over the floor but I didn't care; I was in another world.

"Photography. You were always great at taking pictures. I'm glad you decided to take it up in college. I was thinking about majoring in it too but I changed my mind." He smiled as he picked up the pictures. I bent down and quickly grabbed my notebook and pictures from him. This guy talked like he knew me and it was freaking me out. Like how did he know I was good at taking pictures? I wanted to know so I asked him. I for one do not bite my tongue.

"How did you know I was good at pictures?" The guy, Naruto, stood up and slid his hands into his coat pockets. I looked at him expectantly and he smiled in answer. I was about to ask him again.

"Naruto…" He stopped me.

"You remember me Sasuke?" He asked again with a grin. I let out a sigh.

"How can I remember you if I don't even know who you are? I honestly never met you before. Maybe you have me confused with someone else." Naruto's grin dropped and he looked like he had been slapped. It was strange; I never saw someone act this way before.

"You do remember me…you called me by my name." He said as if it was the most obvious thing in the world. I pointed to his jacket.

"I saw your name on your jacket." His blue eyes looked down at his jacket as realization took over. He seemed to be very upset over the fact and before I knew it he slammed his fist against the wall. It was so close to my head, I swear my heart was about to give out. I slide down against the wall to catch my breath; he could have killed me. This guy was crazy and here I am, just sitting in front of him, close to having an asthma attack. I was in too much shock to grab my inhaler so I tried to inhale as much air as possible.

"Shit!" I heard Naruto above me. "I'm sorry Sasuke." The blond bent down beside me and dug through my backpack. He pulled out my inhaler from my black case and held it by my mouth. I immediately grabbed my inhaler and tried to get breathing back to normal. Blue eyes watched me with concern and something else I couldn't determine. He seemed really worried as if I was the closest thing he had.

"Sasuke…are you okay? I'm really sorry. I didn't mean to lose control like that." I coughed and tried to stand up. Who the hell is this guy? How does he know my name or that I take pictures, and especially where my damn inhaler is?! I never used that thing on campus before.

"Get away from me!" I rasped out as loud as I can. "I don't know who you are but stay away." He looked at me with something close to pain and shock before moving closer.

"I'm sorry Sasuke! Please don't be like this…." I quickly grabbed my bag and took off down the hall. "Sasuke!" He called and started to run after me. I picked up the pace and rushed down four flights of stairs. I heard him closely behind me as my panic started to rise. My panic was so strong that I could hardly see straight but I continued running.

"Sasuke! Wait! Don't run!" I didn't listen and I continued running out of the building until I was halfway across the field. I didn't see Naruto but I kept running until I reached the student parking lot. I hopped in my car so fast that I didn't recall when I got in and I immediately started the car up. I was about to back up but a tan hand smacked on my window. It was Naruto. I was so happy my car was in reverse or I would have driven into a tree. I continued to back up, not caring if I ran over him the process and sped down the road. I could see him in my rear-view mirror. He was calling my name loudly. I slammed on the gas pedal like my life depended on it. I was going over a friend's house tonight; something didn't feel right about going home.

(End of flashback)

He was a nutcase. I heard of those kinds of people and strangely after that incident, I haven't seen him since. Maybe he got thrown in jail or something. I hope so. I take a breather and continue down the hall. I didn't see anyone as I walked down the stairs but I heard the door open a few floors above me. Nobody seemed to walk down the steps so I continued till I was out the building. Once I was outside, I looked up into the side window and caught a glimpse of a shadow. It was strange but no need to get worked up. It was probably just the janitor.

Yeah…the janitor.

I kept telling that to myself as I reached my car. Then I heard the doors to the English building open. I turned around to see nobody there.

Maybe I'm just really tired I reasoned. People hear things when they are tired; it's natural. Because I know one thing for sure…

I am not paranoid.


Just so you know this is not a time travel or some kind of reincarnation story. It's more like someone is seriously mentally disturbed O-o

Alright, you know what to do :)
