A teenager feels like they are being followed on their walk to school and the presence grows closer throughout the day, terrifying them as their classroom door handle slowly pulls down at them during break. In their next lesson, the teenager's nerves increase as they feel the presence is near, tapping their finger anxiously, until another student begins tapping their finger in the same way and the door pushes open, almost revealing the shadowy presence, though it is revealed to just be their friend.
