For many months there has been a young man, who attends the same school as Alex who waits at the shop for the same bus that she catches. I first noticed him when he scoped the car and stared for the whole time while Alex got her gear out. It has continued now all year. After a while I told her about 'the staring boy' and got the expected 'ewwww, gross!"
Doesn't rule him out, but it was about what I expected.
i seem to see him other places too "Hey, look Al, there is the staring boy" It always produces the same response "Muuummmm!" a slight tone of threat, coupled with bored irritation.
I have watched him for months and smiled to myself about him most mornings. This morning however, I had an epiphany! Alex was not with me and I had to stop at the shop. The staring boy, stared. He didn't stop looking when he must have realised that Alex as not there. My new theory is that it is not Alex he is staring at, it is ME! The staring boy is staring at ME!
That is my new theory and I can't wait to share it with her!
