The Campus Life

It was a dark night and Liz had just came out of the store as she made her way home she hears footsteps she to see who was behind her but to her surprise there was no one there. Her heart began to race. She turns around once more, still no one is there. She ran into her dorm room, hoping not to think about who might have been following her.

The next day Liz could not get what had happened the night before out of her mind. She could not focus in class. “Liz stop daydreaming” said Professor Smith. “I am sorry professor I will try to pay more attention”. Although Liz had said that, she still couldn’t pay attention; she couldn’t get last night out of her mind. Jane, one of Liz best friend, knew Liz long enough to know when something is wrong with her.

“Liz you’re ok, what is going on with you”?

“I don’t know Jane it about last night, I went to the corner store to get some things to eat and as I make my way home I started to hear footsteps. When I turned around no one was there and again and again I hear those footsteps and no one is there. This is not the first time, I hear them before. About a week ago I hear those same medal boots and as I turn no one was there”.

“What, you’re for real Liz” said Jane.

Throughout the whole day Liz could not focus she went through the whole day thinking about that night and the last time she heard those footsteps. Liz could not wait for the day to end, when school ended she wanted to go to her dorm and sleep this worry away. As she makes her way through campus, she saw her professor.

“Hi there Professor, I am sorry that I was not able to focus in class today”

“Liz you are a smart girl, what is going on with you is there something wrong with you” said Professor Smith.

“I am ok, I am just going through some things I will be fine”.

“Well ok then, you look tired go and have some rest”

Liz was really tired, she finish talking to Professor Smith and made here way to her dorm, as she reach her door she saw a note attached to the door, she had thought that it was from Jane, she quickly take it into her room and read it.

“Hi there beautiful I have been watching you for a while now and I have to say I am very interested in you. Well beautiful I will see you again and maybe we can to know each other some more on a personal level kiss. Kiss I am going to get you”.

V.P

She quickly drops the note and began to shake. Jane walks in and saw her in the corner shaking. She quickly ran up to her and asks her what wrong. Liz pointed at the note. Jane read the note and she did not know what was going on.

“Liz do you know who wrote this, this is for real we have to report this”

“This is not the first one about a week ago I began to get these Emails, I did not pay much attention to them but this one has the same signature as those of the Email”

“Liz how could you keep this to yourself like that we have to tell some one now.” Said Jane

“I don’t know I didn’t think it was serious I thought it was just one of my friends playing a joke on me”. Said Liz

They sat in the room just looking at each other trying to think if this is really a joke or for real. They didn’t now what to do. They sat there thinking of people they knew who might have done something like this. Finally Liz said.

“I think it was Matt. Maybe he was just playing a joke on us, I mean back in high school he was the biggest joker around”

“Yeah he was “responded Jane with a disbelief voice.

“Do you ever miss the old days, like back when you were in high school”? Ask Liz.

Jane got up from the floor and move to the bed.

“Yea I do miss it sometimes, and sometime all my friends back home, I just want to escape into my own world most of the time where I don’t have to worry about all this”.

“Jane, how are thing with you and James if you don’t mind me asking, it been a while since he came by here”

“It has been a while hasn’t it, as much as I would like to say things are great, I just can’t”

“What happened, Jane you can talk to me”

It was a little pass midnight when Jane and Liz were talking in their dorms and the whole school was as quite as a graveyard. James was Jane first boyfriend and they have been going out thought most of their high school years. And now they were in college. James didn’t go to the university as Jane but he was close.

“I really don’t know what happened really one minute I love him and the next I just don’t know”. Jane said.

As Jane started to talk more and more Liz notices that she was becoming uneasy about revealing what has happened to them.

“I don’t mean to ….

“shhhhhh. Did you hear that Liz”

“Hear what”

“Sounded like someone is out there, turn off the lights quickly”

Liz ran to the light switch and turned it off. Jane knew she had heard something out of the ordinary, so both she and Liz walk over to the window staying as low as they can and look outside, there she saw two men standing.

“Who is that”? Ask Liz.

“I don’t know, but doesn’t that look like Professor Smith a little”.

“Yea it does look like him, but who is the other man, it look like they are having an argument”. Liz said.

Jane did not want to just look from the window. She quickly grabs her jacket along with Liz and quietly made there way out of the building close enough to hear what they were saying.

“Wait that not a man that a women.” said Jane.

“Not just any women that Professor Taylor, my physic teacher, but what is she doing out here with Professor Smith”. Liz said.

“shh Listen”

“we cant keep doing this I am married, we should have never have let this go this far. it is not right I have to end it, please understand if my husband, Charles, found out that could the end of both of us, you would loose your best friend and I would loose a husband and you.” Taylor Said.

“Yes my dear I agree but it so hard to let you go, I love you, and I will always…..

“This is boring Liz, let get out of here I am tired”

“Yea you right it just two love birds”

Jane and Liz quietly made their way back to the dorms, as they were walking they started to laugh about what they had seen because doing the day time Professor Taylor and Smith hated each other . Now they know that it was just and act. As they got closer to their dorms Liz notices a white paper hanging from the door. She quickly stops Jane.

“Hey Jane, what is that, that what not there when we left. There was nothing on the door”.

“Yea you are right what the hell is it, wait I think it is a note”.

Liz heat began to race and her body began to shake as she and Jane walk slowly to the door and takes the note.

“I saw you my little angle

You look beautiful tonight. We will have our date soon enough

Good night!!!!!!!!”

V.P...

Jane quickly opened the door and ran inside along with Liz. The light was still off. Jane and Liz just stood there in the center of the room just looking at the white piece of paper on the floor not knowing how to react to it.

“You still think it was Matt Liz.”

Liz was taken by fear, her eyes began to wonder around the room hoping what she was thinking was not right, “could someone be in this room larking in the dark”. Her eyes continue to wonder till she stop at the window where she saw a shadow on the grounds below, she thought to her self could this still be the Professors. NO it wasn’t her eyes adjust to the darkness out side and there she saw a man just standing and looking up at her window. Her body drop to the floor.
