So, I got on the bus this morning to get to church, and I guess a guy came and sat behind me but I didn't notice. I pushed the button for the bus driver to stop at my stop, and the guy came off a couple of minutes behind me, which is normal. But I walked across the street, and around the corner to walk towards the church, and he was right behind me. I got a little weirded out, so I took the small street to the church. He stopped me and asked me some questions, but I didn't know what he was saying. I told him I didn't speak Italian, and he started to ask questions like, where do you study, where are you going, are you meeting up with friends. I told him I was meeting up with friends right now and would just be taking the bus home after. After I told him I didn't have a phone, he said ok, and then told me goodbye. I went to the church, and didn't think much about it.
After church, I walked to the bus station, and he was there. I had just been in the OVS store, and he had an OVS bag. I walked past him and sat on a seat that was surrounded by a ton of people. When my bus got there, I got on at the front and then sat down. He had gotten on the same bus as me. I acted like I didn't see him, and decided that I would take a stop earlier than the one I usually take just to see if he really was following me. When I stood up to push the button, he stood up too and told me this was his stop too. He got off at the same time as me, and told me that he lived in Via Columbini too. I said ok, and he walked the same way as I did. He seriously followed me down the street...up the road..and to my front door. I looked at him, and told him that I was tired and I was going to go to sleep and that i would see him later. He said, "Io?...." which means "and me?".... but I didn't know that. He seriously came inside my house and then followed me into my bedroom. I was freaking out. Pierina was there, and I made sure she saw that there was someone there. I tried to look at her, like i didn't know who this was, but she had no idea. He came into my bedroom, and put his stuff down and then just stood there. I got really creeped out, so I asked him if he wanted to go on a walk with me to get him out of there. He said ok, and I asked him if he was going home. He said that there were too many people there and so he didn't. He kept talking to me and asking me questions. i guess he studys here too..or maybe he doesnt. I don't even know. He's from Egypt and 25. I finally told him I would meet him at the bar tomorrow because I had to go home. I am not planning on going, it was just the only way to get him to go away. Everytime I told him I was going somewhere, he told me he was going to the same place. I'm so freaked out right now. Now this guy knows where I live, and even came into my room! I told Pierina that he followed me home and that I didn't know who he was. She laughed and told me I did a good job for getting him to go away. She doesn't seem to worried, so I feel like I will be fine. It was just really scary. I'm only nervous that if i don't know up at the bar, he will come to my door. Oh my gosh. ... Only in Italy right? Scary
