are</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> fuzzy</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">I seem to have forcibly forgotten some</font> stuff from<font color="#E5E5E5"> then I used to skip class a</font> lot due to teachers not handling bullies and crippling anxiety problems I'd have in class<font color="#CCCCCC"> I</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> wasn't even aware I had</font> anxiety badly eventually while skipping I cross paths with<font color="#E5E5E5"> this kid from JROTC</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">he was tall homely chubby guy who I</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> just</font> tried to be<font

to</font> leave he grabbed me trying to<font color="#E5E5E5"> shove me</font> into<font color="#CCCCCC"> a trashcan to which I kicked off</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">the wall ending his grip on me it ended</font> with my fist to his face to show I <font color="#E5E5E5">wasn't messing around the gym teachers</font> didn't even bother<font color="#CCCCCC"> with us they knew he</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">wasn't</font> supposed to<font color="#CCCCCC"> be there</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> he also wasn't</font> gonna go<font color="#E5E5E5"> to the principal to say he got</font> his

repair the trailer brakes</font> so after an<font color="#E5E5E5"> hour and</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> a half of waiting</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">around in a tiny town we were back</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> on</font> the<font color="#CCCCCC"> road again as we continued north we</font> began to<font color="#E5E5E5"> notice dozens of motorcyclists</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">everywhere and that's when we realized</font> we<font color="#E5E5E5"> were heading through South Dakota</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> at</font> the same time as<font color="#E5E5E5"> Sturgis for anyone who</font> doesn't know<font color="#E5E5E5"> Sturgis is a huge</font> motorcycle rally in<font color="#E5E5E5"> Sturgis South</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> Dakota</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">now my dad quickly begins to</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> get a</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">little tense as well he has nothing</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">against bikers but due to the sheer</font> amount<font color="#E5E5E5"> of them in the large vehicle and</font> trailer combo<font color="#E5E5E5"> it was going to be a</font> challenge to<font color="#CCCCCC"> get to our</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> destination</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> we</font> make it<font color="#E5E5E5"> to the hotel that</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> we had managed</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">to book</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> that night and continued on with</font> our journey now my mom had really wanted<font color="#CCCCCC"> us</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> to</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> visit</font> Mount Rushmore for<font color="#CCCCCC"> obvious reasons</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> it</font> was along the route<font color="#CCCCCC"> and we wouldn't have</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">to make</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> too much of a detour as we were</font> getting<font color="#E5E5E5"> closer to Rushmore I noticed</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">more</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> and more</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> mountains and</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> even more</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">bikers as we continue</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> to push onwards we</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">finally made it</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> to Mount Rushmore</font> as soon<font color="#CCCCCC"> as we had the</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> suburban parked my</font> dad immediately<font color="#E5E5E5"> gets out</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> of the</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> car and</font> sits<font color="#E5E5E5"> down and starts shaking with his</font> head in<font color="#CCCCCC"> his hands</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> my dad is not easily</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">shaken at all and seeing him in this</font> condition surprised me<font color="#CCCCCC"> I go to ask him</font> what<font color="#CCCCCC"> was wrong</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> when my mom grabs my arm</font> and pulls<font color="#CCCCCC"> me away and leads all my</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">brothers away to some public restrooms</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> a</font> little while<font color="#E5E5E5"> later my dad joins us at a</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">bookstore</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> having mostly calmed down</font> I then hear what my dad<font color="#E5E5E5"> was so shaken up</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">turns out we had nearly killed over a</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">dozen bikers at the bottom of a long and</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">steep hill we were trying to make our</font> way<font color="#CCCCCC"> down the hill my dad realized that</font> there was a large group<font color="#E5E5E5"> of bikers at the</font> bottom of the hill<font color="#E5E5E5"> all stopped at a red</font> light<font color="#E5E5E5"> which had to be the worst place</font> intersection I had ever seen<font color="#CCCCCC"> and my dad</font> saw it he stomped<font color="#E5E5E5"> on the</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> cars brakes</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> and</font> to his<font color="#E5E5E5"> horror they failed</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> he then locks</font> the trailer<font color="#CCCCCC"> brakes and they</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> somehow</font> bring us to a stop<font color="#E5E5E5"> he's not even sure</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">how they managed to</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> do it but we all</font> thank God that they did we knew for certain that<font color="#CCCCCC"> if we had not fixed</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> the</font> trailer brakes<font color="#E5E5E5"> we would have certainly</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">crushed all those bikers who had no idea</font> they came so<font color="#E5E5E5"> close to</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> meeting</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> their</font> fates<font color="#CCCCCC"> that day</font> [Music] so I<font color="#E5E5E5"> don't know if</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> people</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> will ever read</font> this or<font color="#E5E5E5"> not but</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> I am</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> doing this for</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> my</font> own<font color="#CCCCCC"> in a piece so this all happened</font> about<font color="#E5E5E5"> one and a half years ago</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> I was</font> second<font color="#E5E5E5"> year grad student and had this</font> professor<font color="#CCCCCC"> EP it was</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> also head</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> of</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> the</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">Department of botany</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> so he had a program</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">up coming in my college and I was asked</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">to</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> play a part in the program but due to</font> some difficulties<font color="#CCCCCC"> I was unable to</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">participate in this program</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> this</font> professor<font color="#CCCCCC"> was also in</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> charge of the</font> program Just My Luck<font color="#CCCCCC"> I told this professor</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> I</font> wouldn't be able<font color="#E5E5E5"> to do this and he was</font> enraged<font color="#E5E5E5"> he threatened that he</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> would have</font> me failed in my exams and<font color="#E5E5E5"> ruined my</font> reputation<font color="#E5E5E5"> some background on this</font> professor<font color="#E5E5E5"> he is seriously one</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> of</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> the</font> worst hypocrites and<font color="#E5E5E5"> one of the worst</font> people<font color="#E5E5E5"> I have ever</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> encountered in my</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">life</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> he is</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> famous for his</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> bad</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> attitude</font> and<font color="#E5E5E5"> behavior and hate towards girls for</font> no reason he hates to see friend groups being formed<font color="#CCCCCC"> within his students</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> and</font> mine was<font color="#E5E5E5"> one of the biggest with up to</font> 10 to 12<font color="#CCCCCC"> people who were all my great</font> friends<font color="#CCCCCC"> or so I</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> thought now back to the</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">incident I left from the hall almost in</font> tears and my boyfriend<font color="#CCCCCC"> saw me and asked</font> what<font color="#CCCCCC"> was wrong I told him</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> everything he</font> was<font color="#E5E5E5"> angry of course because this</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">professor was being terrible to me for</font> no<font color="#CCCCCC"> reason and he</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> was ready to give this</font> guy a piece<font color="#CCCCCC"> of his mind</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> but I stopped</font> him as I didn't<font color="#E5E5E5"> want any scene to be</font> created also<font color="#E5E5E5"> he didn't know who my</font> boyfriend was and had speculations that <font color="#CCCCCC">I was in a relationship</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> with the other</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">guy in my group we used to joke about</font> this all the time<font color="#CCCCCC"> now</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> and then started</font> this<font color="#E5E5E5"> professor's taunts and attempts</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> to</font> make me feel guilty<font color="#E5E5E5"> for not</font> participating<font color="#CCCCCC"> in the program after some</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">time it all started to die</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> down and</font> everything seemed to be<font color="#E5E5E5"> fine little did</font> I know that<font color="#E5E5E5"> it was the silence before</font> the<font color="#E5E5E5"> storm after a month it was my</font> birthday<font color="#E5E5E5"> and also one of my other</font> friends<font color="#CCCCCC"> birthdays we decided</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> to</font> celebrate<font color="#E5E5E5"> it</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> together and</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> take our</font> friends out for<font color="#CCCCCC"> a party</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">we'd he skipped college one day all</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> of</font> my 12 friends were present there we had a blast and a ton of fun<font color="#E5E5E5"> then I got a</font> call<font color="#CCCCCC"> from a classmate who was</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> not part</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">of my</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> group but we were still great</font> friends so she called and told me<font color="#E5E5E5"> that this</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">professor came in between</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> lectures and</font> asked everyone in<font color="#E5E5E5"> class where we</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> were</font> and no one said<font color="#CCCCCC"> anything he called</font> almost all of<font color="#E5E5E5"> the students</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> to</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> his office</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">and asked them to tell them why they</font> skipped class and even said to one of<font color="#CCCCCC"> my</font> friends that she should stop being friends with us if she wanted<font color="#CCCCCC"> to pass</font> the<font color="#CCCCCC"> semester I was in shock and</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> told</font> everyone what my friend told<font color="#CCCCCC"> me everyone</font> was scared<font color="#CCCCCC"> because we know how much of</font> an idiot<font color="#E5E5E5"> he can be in one of my</font> superiors<font color="#E5E5E5"> quit</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> college because of this</font> guy next day he punished every<font color="#E5E5E5"> one of us</font> asked us to stand out of<font color="#E5E5E5"> class and after</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">class was</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> over he called myself and two</font> of my<font color="#CCCCCC"> friends to his office asking us</font> where we all were<font color="#E5E5E5"> and we all made</font> excuses<font color="#E5E5E5"> but I could sense that he</font> already<font color="#E5E5E5"> knew where we were so I told him</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">that we had</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> all skipped college so we</font> could<font color="#E5E5E5"> celebrate my birthday and my other</font> friend's birthday and<font color="#E5E5E5"> I started to</font> apologize this professor berated me<font color="#E5E5E5"> my</font> character<font color="#CCCCCC"> my parents who knew about the</font> party<font color="#E5E5E5"> calling me all</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> kinds of terrible</font> names and saying<font color="#E5E5E5"> I was characterless</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> I</font> was there for<font color="#CCCCCC"> over</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> an hour listening</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> to</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">his</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> verbal abuse</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> I really wanted to cry</font> but I<font color="#E5E5E5"> didn't I just</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> left and</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> told my</font> parents<font color="#CCCCCC"> what</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> had happened they told me</font> not to<font color="#E5E5E5"> worry</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> and would</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> confront this</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">professor</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> I asked them not to as I</font> didn't want<font color="#CCCCCC"> this to become a topic</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> of</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">gossip once again this guy</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> indirectly</font> started calling me terrible baseless names in between his lectures I felt so small and helpless<font color="#E5E5E5"> and was really</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">slipping towards</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> depression my so-called</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">friends also</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> started to</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> drift away from</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">me causing</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> our group to break up and</font> they all became<font color="#CCCCCC"> this professor's</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">favorite students how you might ask they</font> would tell<font color="#CCCCCC"> him</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> everything</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> every bit of</font> gossip<font color="#E5E5E5"> and everyone's opinions about to</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">mend in return he would give all of them</font> extra marks and credits and<font color="#CCCCCC"> praise them</font> while<font color="#E5E5E5"> criticizing me</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> I started to think</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">it was all my</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> fault I stopped talking to</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">my classmates</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> my</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> parents and my</font> boyfriend<font color="#E5E5E5"> thinking that this was all my</font> faults<font color="#E5E5E5"> and the reason why the group</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">broke up because of me and I started</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">sitting alone and</font> drifting<font color="#CCCCCC"> into a depression</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> this incident</font> was where the breaking<font color="#E5E5E5"> point really</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">began and where I took actions against</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">this professor one day during his</font> lecture<font color="#CCCCCC"> his phone</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> was constantly</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> ringing</font> so he<font color="#E5E5E5"> went out to talk everyone</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> in class</font> was starting to<font color="#E5E5E5"> talk</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> and I was</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> sitting</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">with a few of my friends I was talking</font> with<font color="#E5E5E5"> them and</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> just within a split moment</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">I heard my name</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> and the two friends his</font> name being<font color="#E5E5E5"> shouted in class he was</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> so</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">loud even the professor on the corridor</font> came out to see what<font color="#E5E5E5"> was</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> happening</font> the professor's<font color="#E5E5E5"> face was red I had never</font> seen<font color="#E5E5E5"> anyone this angry we all stood up</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">and he once again scolded us and made us</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">stand outside for</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> his class</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> for</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> over</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">three</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> hours we were all crying and</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">asking him to forgive us we were all</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">girls and I even said that what would</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">happen</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> if one of us faints what will he</font> do<font color="#E5E5E5"> which was then told to him by another</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">friend who I don't trust now in the end</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">he came and told us how terrible a</font> person I was distracting and disturbing class that I was manipulative and<font color="#E5E5E5"> wasn't</font> as innocent<font color="#CCCCCC"> as</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> I portray myself one of</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">the most horrible and cunning persons</font> he's ever met this is it for<font color="#E5E5E5"> me</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> I went</font> from there<font color="#E5E5E5"> and cried I had reached my</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">breaking point</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> I told my parents and</font> they told my relative who was<font color="#CCCCCC"> an</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> officer</font> in the<font color="#E5E5E5"> education department</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> she called</font> the Dean the Dean told us that this<font color="#E5E5E5"> was</font> not the<font color="#CCCCCC"> first</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> complaint against him she</font> will talk to him and<font color="#E5E5E5"> correct him</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> the</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">citiots of a Dean ended up</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> telling the</font> professor to ignore me and I was<font color="#E5E5E5"> not</font> worth his<font color="#CCCCCC"> time and not to waste</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> any time</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">or risk his job for some shameless</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> girl</font> this woman<font color="#CCCCCC"> who doesn't</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> know me said</font> stuff<font color="#CCCCCC"> to him about me</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> and stuff about</font> him in front<font color="#CCCCCC"> of my relatives my parents</font> talked to him asking him really politely what<font color="#E5E5E5"> the problem was and apparently he</font> had no problem with<font color="#E5E5E5"> me he had told them</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">then the next day</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> the professor said</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">that I was no longer</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> his student</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> and</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> he</font> no longer wanted any contact<font color="#E5E5E5"> with me</font> whatsoever<font color="#E5E5E5"> all I said was thank you and</font> left almost all of my<font color="#E5E5E5"> classes</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> were talking</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">about me behind my</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> back I used to attend</font> his classes<font color="#E5E5E5"> as it was important</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> for me</font> to<font color="#E5E5E5"> have 75 percent attendance he at</font> first started<font color="#CCCCCC"> talking about me</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> directly</font> that people's parents with high positions think they can do whatever they<font color="#CCCCCC"> want</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> and all that kind of stuff</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> I</font> am a bit<font color="#E5E5E5"> of a tomboy</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> and</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> love superhero</font> movies<font color="#E5E5E5"> he said some girls have interests</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">in boy stuff so that boys will be</font> attracted to them directly<font color="#E5E5E5"> pointing</font> towards my character and once again<font color="#E5E5E5"> I</font> was also put into contact with<font color="#CCCCCC"> the chief</font> editor<font color="#CCCCCC"> of a local newspaper to allow</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">them to print my story and this was in</font> hopes for me to find justice and get this professor<font color="#E5E5E5"> out of his position but I</font> refused as I didn't<font color="#E5E5E5"> want to get involved</font> in an illegal<font color="#E5E5E5"> action or controversy</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> I</font> just wanted my degree and nothing else the professor then started to degrade me <font color="#E5E5E5">whenever he could and praised my</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">so-called ex friends one day</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> out of</font> nowhere<font color="#CCCCCC"> my professor came to class</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> and</font> started yelling<font color="#E5E5E5"> saying that he would</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> not</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">teach our batch and that another teacher</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">would be arranged he pulled this drama</font> about<font color="#E5E5E5"> three to four more times</font> all the students went to<font color="#E5E5E5"> his office</font> literally begging<font color="#E5E5E5"> him</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> to forgive them</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">and start teaching again kidding me he</font> couldn't even<font color="#E5E5E5"> teach properly I was happy</font> I<font color="#E5E5E5"> wouldn't have to see this guy</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> again</font> and<font color="#E5E5E5"> so were my friends not</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> only was he</font> making<font color="#CCCCCC"> me suffer but now all</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> of</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> my</font> friends<font color="#E5E5E5"> and classmates as well everyone</font> in<font color="#E5E5E5"> my class started blaming me saying</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">that all because of me they were</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">suffering my so-called friends would</font> taunt me in every possible way<font color="#CCCCCC"> and</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> the</font> professor would never do<font color="#CCCCCC"> anything to</font> stop them and even<font color="#CCCCCC"> encouraged them once</font> again<font color="#CCCCCC"> I was starting to get depressed</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">finally I stopped</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> attending his classes</font> and<font color="#E5E5E5"> in my last</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> year I had to leave one</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">subject I'm gonna let you all guess what</font> that subject<font color="#E5E5E5"> was I still remember the</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">day I went</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> to submit my admission form</font> for a third year<font color="#CCCCCC"> and the professor came</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">to see our group and told us not to</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">worry</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> about what happened and to take</font> botany and he would give us extra marks <font color="#E5E5E5">Yeah right</font> I've had<font color="#E5E5E5"> enough</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> trauma for one year then</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">want another year of that nonsense</font> so I left<font color="#E5E5E5"> and slowly recovered</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> from</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> my</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">depression I stole</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> from time to time</font> would see<font color="#E5E5E5"> that professor glaring at</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> me</font> and<font color="#E5E5E5"> my friends with his hateful gaze he</font> would<font color="#CCCCCC"> sometimes even try to degrade us</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">but we all knew it was</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> because it was</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">frustrated that we left</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> slowly and</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">eventually everyone</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> clearly saw what</font> type<font color="#CCCCCC"> of person professor was and my</font> so-called friends<font color="#E5E5E5"> were they started</font> talking<font color="#CCCCCC"> to me finally I'm gonna be</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">graduating from college and it would not</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">have been possible with my parents</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">friends</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> and my boyfriend</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> had not</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">supported me so thanks</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> to</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> everyone for</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">that love</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> and</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> support</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> and I hope you</font> never get stuck with the same professor <font color="#CCCCCC">that I did for some context I'm a 24</font> year<font color="#E5E5E5"> old female that lives with two</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">roommates in South Florida the</font> neighborhood<font color="#E5E5E5"> that we live in is right</font> off<font color="#CCCCCC"> of a busy road there are no security</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">gates and barely any street lights</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">illuminating the houses yeah that never</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">felt like I was in any sudden</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> danger</font> because cops would patrol<font color="#E5E5E5"> the area and</font> most<font color="#E5E5E5"> of the neighbors were nice</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> and</font> minded their own business well except one neighbor<font color="#CCCCCC"> I swear</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> I live</font> opposite of a crack house<font color="#E5E5E5"> nothing</font> outside<font color="#E5E5E5"> of</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> the home would make you come</font> to<font color="#CCCCCC"> that</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> conclusion but every day there</font> would be a different car<font color="#E5E5E5"> pulling in and</font> then<font color="#E5E5E5"> leaving five or ten minutes later</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">three men lived there I never once</font> associated<font color="#CCCCCC"> myself with</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> them because they</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">always gave me bad vibes</font> they're just scruffy and<font color="#E5E5E5"> sketchy looking</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">now one night I was</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> getting home from</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> a</font> late<font color="#CCCCCC"> night date</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> it was around two</font> o'clock<font color="#CCCCCC"> in</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> the morning</font> mind you my<font color="#E5E5E5"> roommates and I would always</font> put the porch light<font color="#CCCCCC"> on but this time it</font> was off which made my already<font color="#E5E5E5"> dark house</font> even more<font color="#CCCCCC"> dark I Parkton got out but</font> immediately<font color="#E5E5E5"> stopped when I heard someone</font> about<font color="#CCCCCC"> ten feet</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> away from me say hey I</font> turned around<font color="#E5E5E5"> it</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> was</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> one of</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> the men from</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">the house right</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> on</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> my property it was so</font> dark I couldn't<font color="#E5E5E5"> see his</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> face just</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> the</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">outline of</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> his silhouette</font> I froze<font color="#CCCCCC"> dumbfounded as to why he would</font> scare<font color="#CCCCCC"> me like that in the wee hours</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> of</font> the<font color="#CCCCCC"> morning and again I did</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> not know him</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">hey wanna party I've got some beers</font> it'll be fun girl<font color="#CCCCCC"> I looked around and</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">behind them I thought to</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> myself what</font> party<font color="#CCCCCC"> I heard no music his house lights</font> were off and<font color="#CCCCCC"> I saw no one around him</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">just him as it was walking closer to me</font> nervously said<font color="#E5E5E5"> uh-uh</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> no thank you</font> and power<font color="#E5E5E5"> walked to my front door</font> fumbling<font color="#CCCCCC"> my keys in the dark I felt like</font> I could hear his heavy footsteps but<font color="#CCCCCC"> I</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">dare not look back and finally got my</font> door to open locking it right behind<font color="#E5E5E5"> me</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> a sigh of</font> relief went over me and I was just<font color="#E5E5E5"> happy</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">to get away from that creep as days went</font> by<font color="#E5E5E5"> I would see them looking my way</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> while</font> giving<font color="#CCCCCC"> stone-cold</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> looks I would</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> simply</font> ignore their glares<font color="#E5E5E5"> but then I thought</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">about the</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> situation I asked myself how</font> did<font color="#E5E5E5"> he know I was coming</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> home alone</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> was</font> he<font color="#CCCCCC"> waiting for</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> me needless</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> to
