Florence was laying on her bed at the dorms, staring at the ceiling. She was so confused about what had happened earlier but she was also excited. This mystery person was the only thing she could think about.

He told her to come but where? Other than his voice she had no clues to follow and even that she didn't know if she would be able to recognise his voice if he talked to her. A knock on the door pulled her out of her thoughts.

"Who is it?" She asked but got no reply. Hesitantly she opened the door noone was there except for some kids walking down the hallway. Looking down she noticed an envelope, she picked it up and closed the door. The only noticeable thing on the envelope was an unknown symbol although it felt kind of familiar.

She opened it and inside there was a letter and a map of the university on it was a red line it's starting point was the dorms and it's finishing point was the forest behind them. She opened the letter hoping it would explain the map and this red line.

Dear Florence,

I hope this letter finds you in good health. I know the events that took place this morning must have left your mind filled with questions. Unfortunately, I won't be able to answer them for now especially through a letter. I believe it would be better to have this conversation face to face, if you agree of course. In this letter there is a map the red line on it will lead you to me. I realise how sketchy this all sounds like but I must ask from you to trust me even if it sounds crazy. I will be waiting for you at the oak tree.

Sincerely yours,
Philip

This was dangerous meeting someone she didn't know alone in a forest sounded like the perfect recipe to get murdered. But why was her heart pumping with excitement? At that moment, she remembered the boy that was staring at her in class. He was good looking but she hadn't seen him in this class before. Could he be the one behind this letter and what happened in class?

She desperately wanted to talk to someone about this and she really didn't want to go in the forest to meet some stranger alone! The only one she could trust wouldn't make fun of her was her best friend Ellise. Grabbing her phone she dialled her number and waited to hear the familiar ringing "Helloooo long time no speak young one" she heard her best friend say, chuckling she replied " We are literally the same age and I'm even taller than you, small one" her friend scoffed, she could almost see her fuming in her small 1,55m body "Anyways I'll pretend you never said that, what did you want?" Florence debated on how to express her concerns without worrying her friend too much "Um I don't know if you heard about what happened today in uni but the person behind it might have sent me a letter and maybe he wants to meet me" after a long pause her friend squealed in excitement "I can't believe you're living out my dreams, a hot delinquent sending you a letter to meet him after exclaiming to the whole University that you're his" Florence face palmed hard "I don't think the situation is exactly like that, like at all" but her friend didn't hear anything "I'm coming over right now we need to work out a strategy on how to play hard to get" Although, Florence didn't agree at all with her friend she was glad Ellise was coming over.

After talking a bit more about various things they hang up the phone. She stared out the window thinking hard about what Ellise said. Could this all be a scheme by a guy that had a crush on her but if he got in all this trouble could he actually be a psychopath? No that was a stretch or not? But claiming her as his was definitely creepy mainly because she couldn't be owned especially by a person she didn't even know.

Half an hour later her friend was on her bed and they were trying to figure out what to do. "What if your have your location on and share it with me so I can watch you through my phone? I mean following you around would be quite dangerous since we don't know if the guy will be alone but  it would be even more dangerous if you were alone with a guy and he had his friends following you around. The more I think about it the more I don't want you to go" Ellise was taking this situation very seriously. Either her friend would find the love of her life, be murdered or worse!

Ellise was a loud and happy person but when it was needed she could be calm in stressful situations and solve the problem faster than people expected. That was a quality Florence admired, even though she could remain fairly calm at all times, her mind went blank when she needed to use it the most.

"I think it would be better if I just don't show up and we watched his next move" She really was starting to have second thoughts about all this.
"Okay, absolutely no way you won't back off there is a hot guy claiming you! The least you can do is just go and ask him why" an idea was starting to form on her friends mind "Listen, as I said before share your location with me and call me before you meet but don't hang up so I can hear your conversation. I'll record it with my computer so if anything happens I'll be able to find you, hopefully" Florence hit her friends head from behind "What do you mean hopefully idiot?" Ellise rolled her eyes as she rubbed her head at the place she was hit "It's a good plan, don't get me wrong, I mean was the one who thought of it but we can't be 100% sure that everything is going to go according to it though"

Florence knew that but still hearing it out loud didn't exactly help calm her nerves. Ellise held her friend's hand "I'll be here okay? Waiting for you until you come back. No sleep for me tonight and if things go wrong I'll have the police on speed dial" She tried her best to calm her friend and she could she that it was working. "Thank you, you're the best" Florence was very happy that her friend was supporting her and didn't leave her to solve this on her own.

"Now, we need to figure out what you'll wear!"
