My school is weird and made me go back in person since I’m in a first year course while the rest of my courses don’t go back in person until next week. Luckily I had a few friends in my year on campus to keep me company. However, I think my day started going downhill after talking to THE homie Mikey. He didn’t do anything wrong himself--it was actually really nice of him--but I think he just jinxed me.
I don’t remember how we got into that conversation but he apologized for not walking behind me on an escalator. This happened in the summer during the time we were frosh leaders. Basically, I am directionally challenged and get quite lost pretty easily. So he walked me to my bus station downtown (trust me the new station is pretty fucking confusing). But to get to my platform we had to go up a set of escalators. Mikey was just worried that he would make me uncomfortable by being behind me since...my ass would literally be in his face. Since it wasn’t him behind me, there was another guy and he made a comment about my ass *sigh*. Long story short, I told Mikey it would’ve been okay if he was the one behind me because I know he isn’t like that and I know that he’s more of a tiddie man LMFAO.
Okay, fast forward to when I needed to take my local bus home. I was just tired, my feet were in pain and I was just trying to get to the terminal. Then in my peripheral vision I see a guy CHASE me down and stopped me. I thought I dropped something or he was going to ask for directions. NO. This guy who looks at least 40-years-old says, “I just saw you from the distance and I needed to tell you how beautifully attractive you are.”
I just blanked, said thanks, and tried to leave. This dude could’ve just kept admiring from the distance, he really didn’t need to RUN ME DOWN.
Nah this guy keeps GOING. His “compliments” were so damn specific it was creepy. This guy said:
“I just loved your big dark brown doe-like eyes.”
“You look so put together, the outfit makes you look stunning.”
“Even the way you walk is so dream-like!”
Bro who the fuck says that???? I told him I was just tired and that I really needed to catch the bus. His response...
“Oh shit I’m so sorry but you just have to know your walk is nice and floaty. At least let me walk you to the doors of the terminal so you can catch your bus.”
I was so panicked at this point because I didn’t want this random man trying to hit on me to follow me. So I said, “Uh, sorry sir but I’m seventeen.”
I’m not--I’m a few years over legal but I’m short enough that it could pass. But ayeo this man is fucking weird and didn’t even apologize.
“Oh no no we can’t have that. I thought you were at least eighteen with the way you looked so nicely.” Then I don’t remember what happened exactly, but he BOOKED it in the direction he came from. This brown dude looked fully grown, had a beard down to his chest and was only like an inch taller than me.
I specifically said brown dude because the SAME EXACT thing happened to Rose at the same mall but at least one that was younger. The way both these guys both first said, ‘I just saw you from the distance and had to tell you you’re beautiful.” NAH BECAUSE WHERE ARE THEY SPAWNING FROM????
Then there was one that spawned in my Instagram DMs. I don’t know if it’s a coincidence since I visited the engineering building on campus with Mikey today but this guy’s bio had ‘software dev’ from *insert school name*. I only followed him back because we’re from the same school so why not right? Yeah no. I SWEAR. WHO SLIDES INTO SOMEONE'S DMS LIKE THAT???? I was still reeling from the earlier situation and did not have the energy to deal with more bullshit. Should I mention I’m on my period? Anyways, here’s how the whole conversation went.
Guy #2: Hello 👋 what’s your major?
Guy #2: I mean what year haha
Me: Hi! Biomedical science 2nd year 🕺
*Guy #2 reacts w/ ❤️*
Guy #2: Oh poor you for doing it online
Me: Dafuq we go back in person next week
Guy #2: Haha
Guy #2: I’m just teasing you
Guy #2: Don’t mind
Guy #2: You live on campus or off?
Me: Okay bro what do you want? 🗿🗿🗿
Guy #2: Oh lol just curious and random
Guy #2: Nvm 😂
*I react w/ 🕺*
Guy #2: What are your hobbies?
Me: Are you done yet?
*Guy #2 reacts w/ 😂*
That’s where it ends. I really don’t know what he was trying to achieve but the group chat definitely had a good laugh about it.
Nah because what the fuck was this????
P.S.
I know I literally haven’t been keeping up with writing all this but it was because school started up again. So most of these would’ve just consisted of ‘ah yeah I did this school work today.’ I’ll keep up eventually.
