Okay, today something kinda really creepy happened to me today and I feel like venting about it.

I get out of classes at University and go to my bus stop, and as I'm walking, I notice a short Caucasian man already there give me this intense, odd look as I'm walking by. I stop walking a bit away from him to wait for the bus and he, still looking at me, very quickly walks in my direction and waits very close to where I'm standing. I think, 'okay...' but nothing much more, and I just try to ignore him. The bus comes and I get on it and sit down next to a girl. He sits down in the seat right behind me and doesn't budge the whole trip. At times, I can feel his arm against my upper back and I wonder if he's putting his arm on the back of my seat as an arm rest, or what. Well, my stop is the very last one on the loop, and many people get off at that stop, which means it isn't terribly surprising to see him getting off at that stop as well.

I wait for my next bus with him waiting close to me as before. Again, I try to just ignore him. When the bus I'm waiting for comes, he starts walking for it as well, and he was ahead of me, closer to the bus than I was. He walked forward, but at times, I noticed that he kinda gave a jerking head movement, as if very quickly trying to look behind him. I tried to walk slower than him, to keep him in my sights, but at the same time not to make it seem obvious, but he suddenly stopped walking and I walked ahead of him. Looking at the bus as I'm walking up to the entrance, I notice in the reflection of the windows that he is very closely tailing me. At this point, I feel a little weird, but still it was kinda like, 'well, whatever'. I get on the bus, with him right behind me as was his apparent habit.

The bus drove away and I was standing inside waiting for my stop to come, knowing the guy was behind me but not really feeling like doing anything about it. Suddenly a woman standing close to me by the back door, pulled on my sleeve so that she would get my attention. She said, 'Turn around'. I turned to the opposite direction so that I was now facing the guy. The woman looked at me and said, 'Stand over here', indicating a place farther from the guy than where I currently was. I moved to where she indicated and smiled at her weakly, knowing that something was amiss, and had a good guess it had something to do with that guy, but it was still just a guess at this point. A few minutes passed, and the woman asked me softly, 'where are you getting off?' I told her I was getting off at the top of the hill we were riding up. She smiled and said nothing. A minute passed, and then the woman leaned over to another standing woman who was kinda looking at me and softly said something along the lines of 'she's getting off at the top of the hill'. At this point, I'm understandably feeling quite concerned and wondering what the heck was going on that I hadn't been seeing that would cause two complete strangers to be concerned about me. As my stop neared, the woman leaned to me and said in a low voice, 'Don't get off here if he gets off. We'll give you a ride.' I thanked her. When the doors opened, I let a few people off the bus to see if he would get off. He didn't, so I got off and thankfully he didn't follow me off the bus. I nodded to the woman, who nodded back and smiled, and the bus drove away. Feeling spooked, I hurried home.

... I don't even want to think about what that guy was doing behind me that would cause people I don't even know to fear for my safety, but I am going to phone the police tonight and file a report, since now that guy knows that I'm in University, that I got on a specific bus at a specific time, and what stop I got off... and that's way too much information he has for me to feel comfortable with escaping today with nothing happening.
