My friend was tracked to our apartment by a guy she rejected

When my friend “Sarah” (fake name) and I were in college, we lived in an apartment on the edge of campus. We met the predator, Trevor, in a nearby grocery store one night. Both my friend and I were shopping at this time, but at this moment, I was on another isle out of view. After the grocery store, Sarah walked home, and I drove. When I walked in the door, my friend was already in the kitchen making food. She said a guy came up to her in the store and they had a conversation. He was acting friendly and they had a bit to talk about. She offered him her number, but only if he would share his first and last name so she could look him up on social media before giving out her phone number. He agreed, so she texted him her number. Now, every college student knows to do a social media background check on someone before meeting up alone with them. It’s just basic safety. Sarah was unable to find any results matching Trevor’s first and last name. It was a pretty common name, so it wasn’t weird or anything, but she didn’t feel comfortable meeting up anymore. Not being able to find his profile was a bad omen. So, Sarah texted Trevor back and apologized about giving out her number but she didn’t feel comfortable meeting up anymore. She told him she appreciated his understanding, and he responded back saying “no problem.” Fast forward to an hour later, I was in my bedroom when I heard my roommate talking to someone in the living room. I walked out and it was Trevor. Trevor had walked up to our apartment at 9pm, knocked on the door, and my roommate let him in. Trevor told her he met Sarah at the grocery store and said he wanted to surprise her. This is something a normal person would never do. My roommate claims she tried to text or call me from the kitchen, but I didn’t get a call or text. It was probably on silent and I didn’t hear it ring. Sarah and Trevor were standing in the living room for less than a minute before she walked into the kitchen and almost had a panic attack. She whispered to me what was going on, and I played stupid. I walked into the living room like I had no idea what was going on, and played it cool. This was such a weird situation to handle. For a few minutes, Trevor and I had small talk. He said he wanted to get to know Sarah better, he liked her, and was just trying to say “hi.” The entire time, he kept looking around the apartment. Counting the number of rooms and doors. Looking out the balcony. After 5 minutes, I politely told him to leave, we’re studying, and that it was getting late. He looked pissed at me but eventually left without saying anything. He sent Sarah a text message saying he was “sorry if he caused an inconvenience.” We were both so creeped out by the whole thing. It’s crazy how far someone will go when you reject them. Who do you think you are walking into someone’s house uninvited? We never found out his true intentions, but it was definitely not good. After that, Sarah and I always kept the door locked. Even when we were home. Looking back, it’s crazy how much danger a simple rejection can cause. It’s fucked up. I’m just glad nothing happened. EDIT: For anyone wondering, my roommate that let him in… She was a very shy person and didn’t handle it very well. I don’t think she really knew what to do. Even if she texted/called, we wouldn’t have seen it. At that time, we were both sleeping through calls/texts. We were very sleepy college students. Looking back, I wish we would have called the cops. But we didn’t want to seem dramatic. Plus, we only had a gut feeling he was creepy. Not actual evidence of a crime. But holy shit… He definitely was planning to do *something.*
