Time went by fast. Next thing I knew I was waiting for Mark to come pick me up. 

"Are you waiting for you ride?" Eli popped up. 

"Shit you scared me." I said covering my heart. "Yeah, I'm waiting for my boyfriend." 

"Oh you have a boyfriend?" The look in his eyes scared me. 

"Yeah." I smiled moving back. 

I pulled out my phone texting Mark to hurry up. I felt uncomfortable around him. 

"Listen, since you know your way around campus now. You don't need to follow me tomorrow." I said in a kind voice. 

"Okay." He ran his tongue across his top teeth. "See you around then." 

Something felt off about him. I could feel it. I know I gotta stay away from him. I looked down at my phone as it dinged. I looked down to see it was Mark replying me to saying that he can't pick me up. 

I groaned and my walk to the bus stop. I noticed Eli was still there. Just my luck. I walked up sitting next to him. 

"What happened?" He asked. 

"He couldn't pick me up." I sighed putting my headphones in. 

He told me ealier today he could pick me up but now he can't. I sighed deeply. The cons of having a celeb boyfriend. 

By the time I got home I was too tired to even cook myself something to eat. I tossed my bag aside and crashed on the couch. I woke up to my front door opening. Mark was standing by the door. Knowing it was him I closed my eyes and went back to sleep. Well tried to. 

"Have you ate?" Mark asked. 

"No." I mumbled. 

"It's nine...almost ten and you're telling me." 

"Yes, Mark I haven't ate anything." I sat up. "I was too tired to cook when I got home." 

"I'm sorry." He sighed. 

"Don't apologize." I rubbed my eyes. "I understand you have your idol duties." 

Mark sat down next to me. He pulled me into his lap. I rested my head on his shoulder. 

"What to order something to eat?" He asked. 

"Obviously, if you're not going to cook and I'm too tired to cook." I covered my mouth and yawned. 

"Let me see your phone." He handed out his hand. 

I handed Mark my phone as I flipped through the channels. 

"What do you want to eat?" He asked. 

"Ramen and Chicken." I replied.  

I listened as he called the local chicken place. I don't remember when I fell asleep but I woke up to the smell of chicken and reman. I sat up rubbing my eyes. I heard Mark chuckle. 

"I thought I was going to have to wake you up." He laughed. 

My eyes widen in realization. 

"You answered the door?" I looked at him. "Did the person recognize you?" 

"No he didn't." Mark replied. "I have my face covered." 

"That's good." I sighed with relief. "I'll go and get cups." 

I stood on my tipy toes trying to reach the cups. 

"Why did you have to put them up so high." I groaned still trying to reach them. 

I gasped as I felt Mark press against me. He grabbed two cup and handed them to me. 

"Let's pretend that you got them." He walked back into the living room. 

After adding ice to the cups I joined him. 

"What are we watching?" I asked seeing a movie playing on tv. 

"I don't know." Mark said pouring our drinks.

Days went by Mark's scheduled was filled. He barely had time for me. We talked on the phone for a little while until he fell asleep. I would whisper I love you every night to him. I found myself missing him more and more everyday, especially at night. 

"Jelena." I turned my head to see Maria walking up to me. 

"Hi." I smiled. 

"What's wrong? You seem down." She asked. 

"Nothing." I replied. 

"Are you missing home again?" Maria asked. 

I didn't answer her question. I sighed as we walked to class. 

"See ya later." Maria said as she kept on walking. 

I walked into the class seeing that Eli was sitting where I always sit. Annoyed at the fact, I sat in a different spot. I could feel his eyes piercing a hole in my back. I used my phone to see behind me. I felt uneasy knowing that he was looking at me. He had a psycho look to him. I texted Maria about it. She said she'd be outside my class waiting for me. As class ended I made sure that I had everything packed. 

"Class dismissed. Don't forget your essay is due tomorrow." The professor said as we all rushed out the room. 

I saw Maria standing there I was ready to dart over to her but someone grabbed my arm. I turned to see Eli. 

"Why didn't you sit next to me today." He asked, kind of heartbroken liked. 

I was ready to say something but Maria came up yanking me from him. 

"Not today, not any day." Maria said. "Leave her alone." 

I saw Eli's eye twitched. Without saying he walked away. I could tell he wanted to say something but held it back. 

"Creep." Maria shook her head. 

"We need to look into him." I looked at her. "There's something off about him. 

"Should we follow him, after our classes?" Maria suggested. 

I nodded agreeing with her.
