In the next few months, Isla would always see Emmett within a 65 feet radius of her whenever she left her apartment. Emmett would even show up with trinkets and gifts to confess his feelings to Isla every few days.Isla had lost count of how many times he did those things. That said, she remained unfazed by his obsessive and disturbing behavior. Isla pretended not to notice him to the best of her abilities.If she couldn't bring herself to ignore him, she would call for security and have them kick him out for disrupting the peace.After several instances, the entire university knew about Emmett in no time.
