the new kid = serious problems, what do i do to avoid him? Options

[wishonthestars]

This new kid "Dan" came to our school a week ago. We started smiling deeply with each other in no time, and you could tell he liked me. I liked him also. He seemed friendly and was getting along with the people in our school. I had no suspisions (sp?) that he was 'not normal' in any way. Perhaps it was because I hadn't yet really conversated with him.

He is in two of my classes. Health class and P.E. In p.e. I have 5 really close protective friends. One day (in health) he came up to me and said "Hey, my homie told me you wanna holla." I was in complete shock because first off... he is a total poser if he talks like that, and second 'his homie' was my friend Steven who I told not to spill a word to Dan that I have a crush on him. But still - I liked him. I told him that I liked him as we had to sit back in our assigned seats. He kept staring at me from then on, more than he had before. Paticularly looking at my body...it made me feel uneasy.

I told my friends about it in P.E. and they thought we'd make a cute couple. Dan came to talk to me about going to the fair on Saturday (yesturday). He told me that his friend would be there too though. I was like "I don't know if my mom will let me." I don't know what I was feeling but I still liked him. I told him I wanted his number and then he said he wanted mine. By that time we had to go to our seperate locker rooms to dress out. We didn't see each other till the end of class because he chose flag football as his sport while I chose volleyball. I gave him my house phone just as the bell rang. He said he'd call me from his friends phone because he didn't have his yet.

But then my friends started talking to him. They didn't get along. AT ALL. They kept firing names back and forth. After he went to his next class I was at my locker when they all told me not to go out with him b/c he was a major jerk. I agreed and asked how to get my number back. I devised a plan of telling him I forgot I got my number changed b/c of pesky tele-marketers and that I'd give it to him when it was activated and memorized. I tried telling him that but he wouldn't give me back the piece of paper I wrote it on. He said "I lost it".

When the bell rang to go home, he followed after me and told me to call him instead. I'm thinking - "YOU JUST TOLD ME YOU DIDN'T HAVE YOUR PHONE YET." Anyways, I pretended I memorized it.

Next day (Friday)

My friend from p.e. rushes up to me and tells me that one of my other friends saw DRUGS in his backpack. I felt I could faint. Last night, I woke up at like 1:00 in the morning feeling HORRIBLE about giving him my number. I sensed something was wrong with him. I began to worry because I've seen what drugs can do to somebody and I'm absoluetly terrified of them. That day he wasn't there, so I told my friends about what I had heard and wanted their opinion. They all looked shocked.

-Last period of the day-
I mentioned Steven earlier..well I have last class with him. He rushed to me and told me this "I know this might disturb you but I have to tell you. Dan told me yesturday at the bus ramp that he was going to call you and have you come to the fair so he could have sex with you." I literally cried. My friends comforted me but I just felt miserable. I was so glad I didn't go to the fair because I would have risked my virginity. I was so disgusted with myself for ever liking him. Now I'm scared that if I avoid him, he might try to pull something.
Help.

Oh, God :( I think you should tell a teacher or someone older, even if it's difficult for you. Because these things being left unknown can become way to dangerous. & Pretending nothing's wrong will hurt you. But if you want, do what I did, stay far away from him & make sure you're never alone so he can't be near you. If he calls hang up quickly.
