this storey is kinda hard to explain because you dont really know where i live or how my neighborhood is set up.
so i made this like diagram thing because its way to hard without it. and even its prob hard. and it would make a lot more sense if you could see where i live.
KEY:
house = house haha.
---- = road
| = road
" = peoples back yard property
> or ^ = the way the people's house were facing/ pointer to street
alright. so. i know its confusing but try to understand the diagram because it will make it so much better.
street 5 is busy flat street. (all the other streets a calm)
street 1 is a hill
street 2 is a hill
street 3 and 4 are flat.
okay so my plan was to go running around this whole thing twice. so i ran down street 1 from my house. on street 5 and then up street 2. and all the way around. when i was on street 3 a silver car passed me and i thought nothing of it. when i was at the bottom of street 1 (for my second lap) the same silver car came up the street passed me. and it was the SAME car. i was a little like UMmm freaky but i just kept running.
so i ran on street 5 and then turn right onto street 2. right when i was at the top of street 2 (i marked the spot with a * right next to the road) came up the street. and i pretend the house i was standing next to was mine by walking towards the door. so the guy in the car would stop like slowing down towards me or whatever. so he went back up the hill and when he was all the way past me i decided to cut my run short and go back home since i was getting freaked out (being kidnapped is like my biggest fear). so i crossed the street ( i was on the left side) and like ran onto the front lawn of this persons house on street four (the house marked like this ^) and into there neighbors back yard because there neighbors house was facing this way > so there back yard was right next to there house. just the peoples backyard had like bushes and stuff so i hid behind them.
when i was behind the bushes just incase that guy passed me again i want to be hidden, i called my older brother (hes 16 im 13 turning 14 in june) and told him "come up and get me. i think somebodys following me." and i told him where i was and he was like okay okay. so he ran from my house to street 4 and i came out of the bushes and was like yessssss ah. haha.
so when we were walking down my street (street 1) i saw a silver car at the end of the street. and i sure if it was the same silver car that i had seen before since i have really bad eyesight, but it was just sitting there and then it just puled into someones dirve way. so i dont know. then we just ran home. haha.
my questions are.... do you think it was following me and do you think what i did was right. and yeah. thanksss.

orphans answered Thursday May 17 2007, 3:38 pm: first off, i dont agree with holahayley56, how she said "B. he was lost, and was slowing down because he wanted to ask you something." because NOBODY would ask a kid. a normal person would NOT ask a kid and freak them out. he's a sick man (if it's a man). maybe he hasn't seen a girl in awhile, but this is just wrong.
you really should have gotten the liscense plate number. because the way this person was passing you over and over again, that's plain weird. he has no excuse to do that. and he probably just pulled into the persons driveway because he didnt want to get caught by your brother. yes i think what you did was right. but there's really nothing you can do, just tell your neighbors to be on a lookout for him/her, because that's just reaaaally creepy.

ASAPcamille answered Thursday May 17 2007, 3:37 pm: I think he is following you. How many different silver cars can you see on one street? If you ever see him again, and he is following you, call 911, or your local police. The man could be sick (mentally). I would suggest not running for 2-3 weeks, or go with someone... ie- mom, friend, whatever. if you have a dog, go with it.
holahayley56 answered Thursday May 17 2007, 3:35 pm: theres two things, that could have been happening, A. hes some freaking stalker, trying to kidnap you. B. he was lost, and was slowing down because he wanted to ask you something.
Personally, I think its letter B. I mean, he could have been way lost if hes driving around in circles and your neighborhood does sound quite confusing. he probably was slowing down to try to get your attention, and ask where whatever is. he then later, kept driving around, and eventually found the house he was looking for.
i mean, that makes the most sense. because usually stalkers, first stalk you for like days at a time, to see where you live, when your home and so forth, then, they kidnap you. and if youve never had this type of thing before, and never noticed that silver car, then he probably was just lost.
