It was 6:30 in the morning as I cautiously approached the van to get in and drive to school. As I oppened the door I let out a horrific scream because there was a lock of blonde hair taped to the steering wheel. I immediately ran into the house and told Dylan what happened.

"You can't stay here." He told me.

I was scared to ever leave the house, but with mom still on her business trip I knew it was the right thing to do.

"You can't go stay with Spin or Hazel, or even Marco. Stay somewhere where you're not expected." Dylan told me.

"I grabbed my cell phone and scrolled through the phone book to the number I wanted to call.

"Ash?" I asked and statred to explain what's been going on.

"Yea, Paige you can stay hear." She said a little hesitant.

"Thanks I said. Dylan'll drop me off after school." I said appreciative.

After school I had to walk home because Dylan had practice. I took the long way home. I was almost home when I heard rummaging in the bushes. I stopped dead in my tracks, too terrified to move. Was this it? Was my stalker finally going to show himself. I just stood there stunned until a little white dog ran out from the bushes in front of me. I laughed a nervous laugh.

"It's going to be okay Paige." I told myself.

"Yea it is. I'll walk you home." Marco said coming up behind me.

"Marco! What are you doing here?" I asked him.

"Dylan told me you were walking home alone. I decided to walk home with you. You're going through a lot, you don't deserve to freak out about a stalker alone on the way home if I can help it." he said.

"Thanks," I said hugging him.

"Do you need me to walk you to Ash's?" He asked.

"No Dylan's going to bring me, but thanks."

"You've got my number, call me if you need anything." He told me.

"Thanks a bunch." I said going into the house.

When I got home there were two messages, one of Mom checking in on us, and one of Dylan appologizing profusely and saying practice was going to run late and he couldn't bring me to Ashley's. I knew I coul've asked Marco to walk with me, or I could've called a cab, but for some unknown reason I decided to walk alone. I left a note for Dylan. Gone To Ashley's Have Cell. Will Call In Morning PAIGE. Halfway to Ashley's it started to get dark. I was starting to get a little scared. I decided to call Spinner, just to talk. I got out my cell and dialed his number.

"Hi Kendra, it's Paige, is Spin home? He's not...okay thank-you."

"Spinner can't help you Paige." Was all I heard behind me.

I whipped around to find Rick standing there.

"You-you-you..."

"Psycho?" He suggested.

"I HATE YOU!!" I shouted and started running away from him. I tripped scattering everything around me. When I tried to get up, he stopped me...I was helpless.
