Pale eyes take in every possible exit; the man who has her boxed in against the wall reeks of overconfidence and speaks like something out of the smut novels her and her friends had coveted in high school. She’d already tried so push him away, but he’s got at least fifty pounds on her, doesn’t budge, and now has one meaty hand tight around her wrists. A stupid mistake, on her part. “I already told you, I’m not interested!” She remembers the self defense Claire had pounded into her head, and stomps heavily on the man’s foot. The pain causes him to stumble back a few steps, cursing lividly, and she uses the distraction to shove past him. Allison wasn’t an outgoing person by any means, but she wasn’t about to let that man just do whatever he wanted, either. A hand on her shoulder halts her, and she turns warily, haf expecting some sort of punishment.
