Chapter 3: Stalker

Chris walked out of the room with full of confidence and happiness. Clearly, something good happened.

"I got the role." Chris shove his hair from the front to the back of his head, trying to look cool.

Chris easily got the role of the Main Character in the movie that will be produced soon.

Chris received the script and lines for him to memorize.

He also was informed about the casts in the movie.

He recognized one of the Cast. It was a co-star from before. Chris and this person had worked together for a movie before and now, they'll be working together again.

"Jacob McKelly... This will be fun."

Jacob McKelly was also a renounced Actor. He also won many awards like Chris did.

Although they knew each other, they're not that actually close. Instead, they considered each other as rivals.

It all starts in an interview. Both of them were interviewed together. There are things that Jacob revealed in front of Chris and on the Camera.

Jacob said that he don't like Chris. He didn't specified why, but it made the tension between the two rise.

Everytime they met, they give each other's cold shoulders.

That's why Chris found this interesting. Working with his rival gives Chris this feeling of excitement or the feeling of wanting to show off.

It was also announced that they'll be filming it in another Country. They'll be filming the Movie in the Philippines.

Chris got excited about this too. He always wanted to visit the Philippines because he heard that there are many Beaches and wonderful places there to visit from and there are delicious filipino delicacies that he wanted to try out.

He thought things are really happening in favor for him.

He got his phone and post something on his story in the Pinstagram.

'What City in the Philippines would I film my next movie?'

He then posted it. All of his fans began viewing his story. In just a few minutes, the internet had gone into turmoil.

Because of that story, News began to spread all over the world. In all Social Media websites were crowded with the news about Chris being in a movie and making the movie in the Philippines.

In the Philippines, everyone began talking about it. All the fans there were united and planned something up to welcome Chris Evergreen.

Chris went home after that and chilled himself there.

...

After getting kicked out of the shop, they finished their lunch at the park. They bought street foods and delicious refreshments.

They picked a place near a tree where its shady.

While eating, they talked about the news that had just got out.

"So I've heard Chris will be filming here, right?" Vanica asked at the same time giving Liz a teasing smile.

Liz couldn't hid the fact that she's excited about it and giggled. They both giggled. Liz's thoughts began to ran wild.

"I know! I hope I'll meet Chris in person." Liz stared at the sky and daydreamed, letting her guard down.

"Liz! Liz! We're eating, stop fantasizing first. Your food is getting surrounded by flies." Vanica point her finger on Liz's head and wake Liz up.

Liz pouted and shooed the flies away.

"Don't worry you two will meet very soon." Vanica said.

"Anyway, I've finished printing the photos you ordered." Vanica grabbed her bag and gave Liz a sealed plastic bag with photos on it.

Liz opened it and took a look.

Her eyes sparkled. It was full of handsome photos of Chris Evergreen. There was one were Chris only wore black tight jeans without wearing clothes for top. It shows those perfectly shaped abs.

Liz almost fainted.

"He's so hot! Ahhhh!" She screamed.

"I know! Ahhhh!" Vanica also screamed with Liz.

Both of them were mesmerized by the photos.

"Let me show you another photo. I just saw it and yeah... I almost f**king died..." Vanica exaggerated while digging through the photos. She saw it and presented it to Liz.

"Found it! Here! Here!" She showed it to her.

When Liz's eyes landed on the photo, her heart jumped. "Oh! MY! Googlendriganess!!! I'm lost for words!"

She stared at the photo and stood up. She's suddenly started jumping around like a kid while screaming.

"How?! How did you... found this?! This is so amazing, Bessy! I love you so much." Liz couldn't help it and jumped on top of Vanica and gave her a huge hug.

"Bes! Bes! I can't breath! Gkkgkgk!!!" She shouted and sounded like choking.

"OMG, sorry. Hahaha... Thank you so much!" Liz let go of her and laughed but still showed her great appreciation.

"Yeah, yeah. You're welcome. Damn, You choke me there! What are you a muscle builder like Chris too? You're heavy!" Vanica caressed her throat.

Liz looked at her and pinched her face. "Are you saying that I'm getting fat?"

"No. But its just weird. You have a sexy body but super heavy." Vanica laughed out loud.

"Hey!" Liz laughed with her too.

The people in the park could hear them talking and laughing. They were looking at them like they're looking at two complete crazy idiots. Liz and Vanica didn't mind the stares though. After all, they're at the park. No one owns this park other than the government. They can do anything freely.

"And... here's for you." Liz gave Vanica two large books.

"You have them too? Thank You, Bessy!" Vanica's eyes were shimmering.

What Liz got her were Two BL Genre Novels. And they are the sauciest ones Liz got so far. Vanica were asking for Liz about it for months.

Yes. Both of them are Book nerds and love BL stories and novels.

Vanica hugged the books and leaned her head to Liz's head and looked at her with puppy eyes.

"You are welcome, Bessy."

Then, they screamed and laughed again making the people uncomfortable.

As they were indulged in their conversation, Liz started feeling something.

She looked around and saw no one looking at them with weird interest.

Vanica observed Liz's action.

"What's wrong?" Vanica asked.

"Its just I felt someone is always staring at me. Its started in the bus earlier." Liz told her what's bugging her.

She also looked around and tried spotting someone that might makes Liz uncomfortable. She first noticed that everyone were looking at them.

"I think I know now. The people were annoyed of us. Come on, Let's leave this place." Vanica packed her things and throw her trashes in the Bin. Liz did the same as well.

"I hope it'll give you guys some peace of mind!" Vanica yelled as she pull Liz away out of the Park.

When they got farther, all the people in the Plaza started cheering.

"Yey!!!"

"Hurray!!!"

Vanica was in disbelief.

"Damn you all!" Vanica outburst! Liz just laughed at Vanica's expression and what the people in the Park did.

A Man in Black Hoodie and with a Black mask on spied on Liz at the distance.

Liz then suddenly felt a chill run down in his spine. "Come on now, Vanica. Let's go." Liz went on walking and Vanica followed while aggressively stomping her feet like a Gorilla.

They then planned walking home. Vanica and Liz lived in the same Village. Vanica's house was just a few blocks away from Liz's. They usually walked home like this when they were just studying. They missed this bonding.

Liz and Vanica were still loudly gossiping and chatting to each other. Each time, a person passed them by, they would cover their ears in annoyance. They're just so loud.

However, these two girls didn't care. They can do whatever they want. What they are doing can't harm people anyway. Its the other people's problem for trying hating things.

Liz and Vanica saw a Yellow Car in front of them. It was so shiny that you could use the surface like a mirror.

"This Car looks cool and fancy. The owner must be rich." Vanica stated her opinion.

Liz just rolled her eyes and looked at the car. On the surface, Liz could see their reflection coming closer as they approach the car.

But Liz spotted something else.

It was a person wearing a hoodie and a mask.

Liz turned around. The Person jerked up and tried walking in another direction.

Liz saw the reaction of the person clearly as day.

"Vanica, Let's speed up." Liz said sounds

alarmed.

"Why?" Vanica was about to touched the Car when Liz grabbed her wrist and go for a run.

"What's happening?" Vanica worriedly asked

"I saw someone. There's a person following us." Liz sounds scared. Vanica heard Liz's scared voice and tried to stop Liz from running.

"Calm down, Liz. Are you sure its not just a random person who just walking by." Vanica stopped and look around.

She monitored the surrounding. She then spotted someone. It was hiding on a post. Her eyesight is really good. She saw that this person looked away when Vanica saw it.

"Do you mean that person with a Hoodie and has a face mask on his face?" Vanica put a question.

"Yes! That's the one!" Liz exclaimed when Vanica pointed it out.

"Then just act normal and follow me."

Vanica led Liz to a narrow passage. At the end of it, was another road and it leads to the Village that Liz and Vanica lived.

They didn't cross the Narrow passage just yet and waited.

"Go behind me, Liz." Vanica ordered.

Liz did what she was told and was confused.

Vanica took out her hammer. Liz's eyes widened when she realized what Vanica was trying to do.

"Vanica, are you nuts? You're not going to kill that person, are you?" Liz was surprised when Vanica took out her secret weapon.

"If I have to, I would." She gave a brief reply.

"What?!" Liz was shocked.

"Oh come on. I'm just going to knock him out." Vanica tried easing Liz's uneasiness about what she's about to do. But it didn't work.

There then Footsteps iterated.

Vanica gripped her hammer really tight.

"Are you ready?" Vanica whispered.

"What do you mean?" Liz asked confusely.

"Ready to run, of course." Vanica answered.

"Okay?" Liz just agreed but still confused.

As they waited patiently, a person appeared.

Without hesitation, Vanica swung her hammer towards that person.

"Waaaah! Die!" Vanica screamed.

Liz saw the person and immediately stopped Vanica at the last second.

The Hammer almost hit the man's face. It wasn't the pursuer. It was someone else.

The face of the man were covered with cold sweat.

"Don't kill me, please! I'm still a virgin!" The man shrieked with fear. His voice was so sharp, He can scream more pitchy than a woman could.

"I'm so sorry, sir!" Liz apologized immediately and helped the man to get up.

The man didn't accept Liz's hand and tried crawling away with terror. Vanica hid her hammer behind her back.

Liz looked back at Vanica with a frown. "Look what you've done."

Vanica looked away and whistled like nothing happened.

"I'll remember you two! You Crazy women!" The man angrily cried while shaking.

"What did you say?!" Vanica raised her hammer and the man started running away as fast as he could.

"I'm so sorry!" Liz shouted hoping that the man could hear her apology.

"Look on the bright side, that creepy stalker is gone now. Guess I scared the sh*t out of him." Vanica proudly proclaimed. She even put the hammer onto her chest like she had achieved victory over something.

"But that wasn't the stalker you almost killed. It was just another random gay dude. Maybe... maybe he is gay. I think." Liz said deep in thought.

"Anyway. The one stalking us wore a hoodie, remember?He also had a mask on." Liz tried making Vanica remember the stalker.

"Oh... My bad. I don't see that stalker anymore now. Maybe he was frightened when he saw what happened. Haha." Vanica became the happy-go-lucky Lady again and acted like she didn't do anything. She put the hammer back inside her bag. And went on her way.

"Hey, wait for me!" Liz called out when she saw Vanica walked away.

They crossed the passage and went on their way home.

...

The stalker swallowed its saliva in fear when it witnessed what happened.

"I could've died."
