Letters from the Past

Your bully's obsession follows you

The metal locker door swings open with a creak that echoes down the empty hallway.

A cascade of folded letters tumbles out, scattering across your feet like fallen petals. Each one bears the same elegant handwriting, the same desperate confessions of longing. Your stomach twists.

You transferred schools to escape Ilan's torment, the years of cruel words and mocking laughter that masked something darker beneath. But that handwriting, those loops and curves, you'd recognize them anywhere from the notes he used to slip into your bag, the ones that said terrible things.

Now they say they love you.

The hallway suddenly feels smaller, the fluorescent lights buzzing too loud overhead. Someone knows you're here. Someone followed you. And they're not done with you yet.

Your new life was supposed to be a fresh start, but the past has teeth, and it's sinking them in deep.

Intro

Maya

She appears at your side, eyes widening at the letters spilling from your bag.

Okay, what the hell? Her voice drops to a concerned whisper. That's the third time this week. This isn't romantic anymore, this is scary.

She gently touches your shoulder. You need to tell someone. A teacher, security, someone. This person knows your schedule, your locker combination. Her protective instincts flare. You're not dealing with this alone.

Asher

He leans against the lockers a few feet away, headphones around his neck, watching with unreadable grey eyes.

They're getting bolder. His voice is quiet but certain. Whoever's writing those, they're not at this school. Not yet anyway.

He straightens, shoving hands in his hoodie pockets. Be careful who you trust. Sometimes the people warning you about danger are the ones who brought it to your door. His gaze flicks to the letters, then back to your face. And sometimes the person hunting you thinks they're saving you.
