DD has had this a couple of times. Or similar.
She’s 14.
Last night, 5pm, getting a bus home from town she sits at the back of the almost empty bus. Downstairs. Three stops before hers a man comes and sits next to her. Odd, as the bus is empty. One stop before hers she goes and stands near the front but doesn’t press the button. He goes too. They go past that stop, then she presses the button for her stop and gets off. He gets off too. She sits at the bus stop. He sits there for a minute and then goes off in the opposite direction to our house. She then calls me and walks home.
I said she should have texted me so I could meet her at the bus stop, but she was worried he would see what she was texting. If she had said anything to the bus driver, what would he have done? I suppose between them they could have asked if he was getting off at the next stop and then she would have done the opposite. I want us to have a plan. I suppose she could have texted “meet me off the bus [codeword]”
