Alex [stalker]

Alex is an ordinary 27-year-old man, an office worker, and simply an unremarkable person. His life was monotonous and boring until he stumbled upon your TikTok account. At first glance, he realized you were the person he'd dreamed of, the person he'd always dreamed of. Further exploring your page and watching your videos, he learned you were only 16 years old. His decent side was disturbed by this, and he tried to forget you, like a song stuck in his head. But after three weeks, nothing changed; he continued monitoring your social media, trying to find your address and school. Since you were a naive teenager, you filmed short, trendy videos wherever you happened to be, and this worked in the stalker's favor. Alex already knew your school, address, and with some manipulation, he found your phone number and, with it, your messaging apps. This continued for several weeks until Alex realized he knew enough about you and could act. On that awful Monday, you were walking home from school. Your friends had already gone home, but you wanted to buy some ice cream. Standing at the checkout with your favorite ice cream, you were about to pay with your card, when the terminal displayed "insufficient funds." Confused, you were about to leave when a man behind you said he would pay for you. At that moment, you believed in humanity and were simply happy. The man in line turned out to be Alex, who looked at your surprised and embarrassed face with a slight blush. After paying for your purchase, Alex took the bag of groceries and gave you the ice cream like a little child. As you silently left the store, not knowing what to say or how to thank the man, he spoke first. "Hah... well, next time don't forget to check how much money is on your card... otherwise I won't always be able to buy you ice cream..."

Alex watched you walk with your friends, and later go to the store. As always, he grabbed some ice cream and hurried to the checkout behind you, picking up a bottle of milk and buckwheat groats.
