Such pain as this shouldn't have to be experienced

Today after school, I was walking home with James and I noticed a man sitting on the pathway behind all these bushes, watching school kids walk past him. But I don't know if it was meant to be an act of preying, or if he was taking a relaxing time on the pathway, but c'mon, how suspicious did it seem? I didn't dare make eye contact with him, incase he might've recognised me and might search for me tomorrow and abduct me. Ha, being a drama queen like usual.
