This guy (17M) behaved strange with me (19F)
After my exam, I started playing chess seriously again. Becoming a Women's IM is one of my biggest goals, and I can genuinely see chess being a major part of my life for the next 8–10 years.
So... I recently rejoined my academy, which is about 1.5 hours away from my home, but I don't mind because it's one of the best coaching centers around.
Most people there are extremely respectful. I'm in the senior batch with around 20–30 boys and only 3 girls, including me. I've never felt uncomfortable there before.
However, there's one 17-year-old guy who started acting strangely. He got my chess ID and later asked for my number, saying he'd send tournament details and chess material. Instead, he began sending daily good morning..good night messages, asking personal questions about my relationship status, whether I had a boyfriend, and other things I wasn't interested in discussing. I mostly ignored him.
Then I started skipping classes cause of my exam and he started texting like ,
"Why ain't u coming to classes ... I'm missing you so much " i gave this 😅 emoji and ignored ,,
Today , he texted me again you're coming to class right ... When will you come text me ,,
He said are you angry with me why aren't you replying....
I put his text in archive and ignored completely ... I had already told A about this and told him please stay with me and don't let him come close ,,
In academy at around 6 P arrived , me and A was having a match , and P came took a chair and stood beside me and started glaring at me ,,
Everyone was there , and he was staring into my soul , I couldn't focus into the match and I pretended that I'm ignoring but I was so scared from inside idk why ....
From winning position i lost the match and told A repeatedly don't let him sit and let's continue and A assured me not to get scared ,,
Out of nowhere P kind of loudly said to A , bro let me play one match now you go aside ...
A understood the situation and said why bro play a match with me come and then I left and they were having a match in between the match ,
For the first time in my academy I was feeling super uncomfortable and feeling when would I leave I want to go home ...
And somehow it became 8 o clock ..I and A were about to leave academy ..
P also followed us we didn't ask him ..I came outside the academy saying A to come as he had some work with the arbitor and I waited outside ..
In the meantime P came out of academy and hold my hand aggressively from behind said
"Why are you not replying to me? Why u ignoring me ! What's wrong"
I was terrified... I was really really scared... I froze at that moment and In this time A came out and he saw us and he shouted at him , he released my hand and in this chaos out teacher and some guardian came there ....
Me and A left the spot and A consoled me the whole way .. as I was speechless of what happened and couldn't process ...
After that, I blocked the guy everywhere.
I'm still shaken.
I've never felt unsafe at my academy before, and I'm not sure how to deal with this when I go back.
