dylansprayberry followed you.

the notification pops up on my phone but I shrug it off, random people always follow.

"I'll check it later", I tell myself.

a few hours later I'm tucked up into bed, about to go to sleep, I do my usual Instagram before bed-check and remember the notification from earlier.

I click on the account and photos appear of a boy dark-brown-blonde hair and big blue eyes.

I like his most recent photo and follow him back, not thinking much of it.

I place my phone on my bedside table and go to sleep.

I wake up and check my phone and notice that this Dylan kid has basically liked every picture I've ever posted, great, now I have a stalker.

I don't even bother to unlock my phone, I just roll over and go back to sleep.

a few hours pass and I wake up again.
