When TikToker @sabercierra was in the ninth grade, she and her family moved across the country. She started school in a new city where she didn’t know anyone.
One day, she was eating lunch alone at school when a kid walked up to her and dropped a folded piece of paper onto her tray.
She asked him if the note was for her. He just looked at her and nodded slowly without saying a word. She had never seen this kid in her life, so she was super confused.
She pointed at a group of girls nearby to make sure the note wasn’t for them. He pointed at her silently.
“I had no idea what to expect going into this letter, so I unfold it, I look at it, and it is the tiniest handwriting you’ve ever seen, like serial killer handwriting, full page front and back,” she said.
She started reading it, and the first line said, “Pretty girls like you are going to pay.” As she kept reading, it got worse and worse.
The letter basically detailed all the ways he wanted to hurt her and “wear her skin.”
He threatened to follow her home on the bus with a backpack full of tools he could use against her. He wanted to wear her skin so he could be the pretty girl and treat other people badly because that’s just what pretty girls did.
When she got to the end of the letter, she looked up, but of course, he was nowhere to be seen. He must’ve run off as soon as she began reading. She couldn’t believe that this letter was meant for her.

“First of all, I didn’t think I was pretty; he’s got the wrong girl,” she said. “I treat people very well, and I don’t look people in the eyes; he is right about that, but that’s the autism.”
She was also freaking out and decided to go straight to a teacher. Just as she walked up to a teacher with the note in her hand, the kid seemed to appear out of thin air behind the teacher and stared at her.
So, she told the teacher that she was just looking for the trash can. The teacher pointed her in the right direction, and she threw away the remains of her lunch.
She kept the note and stuffed it in her pocket. For the rest of the day, this kid followed her around. It continued for about a week.
“I’m walking around the school every day, fearing for my life because this kid has told me how he’s going to get on my bus, follow me home, and wear me like a coat,” @sabercierra said.
“I am walking around, and he is following me. He’ll be behind me in hallways, and I’ll feel breath on my neck.”
Eventually, she left that school and never looked back. She doesn’t know what became of that boy, but she is relieved nothing else happened.
