Freaky
Before I start this, I just want to assure ppl, especially to Danny that I am currently safe and sound in my flat. So there's nothign to worry about, coz nothign happened! I wanted to txt you earlier, but I didn't want you to worry (coz i know you'll).
I had early class this morning, and as I dont' normally catch the early bus, I went a bit earlier just in case if I miss it. While waiting for the bus, I was had my fone out coz *cough* was playing sudoku. Then I saw this guy walked across the road, and was askign me questions.
It was a windy day, I coudln't hear him very well, I had to ask him to repeat it 3 times, by the third time he asked me, he was literally 10cm away from me.
He asked me where's the nearest pub. I was there thinkign, omg, which pub woudl open at 7:30am, but I told him, and gave him directions. Then he started chatting. AGain the wind was really strong so i coudln't hear him very well, but he was talkign about how he's really wasted (makign me think, omg, why the heck woudl you watn to go drink some more), then he was on about "straight up" which I thought he was on about what he was drinkign last night.
Then he started askign why I was standing there, and I said, I was waiting for the bus to go to Massey, he told me that he's going to Massey too, to the dairy farm site, and he asked me why take the bus, how far it is. And i said.. 40mins walk, i have to take the bus, or else i'll be late for the class. And then he keep telling me how i have nothing to worry about, and i shoudl walk... By then I was getting a bit annoyed, and was constantly looking on the distance for signs of the bus.
Then.. he freaking touched my bum! this was followed by him keep telling me "why dont' we go and have some fun" and immediately, alarms was raised in my mind. All those news article danny sent me about rapiest in Palmy was flashign through my mind, I was.. afraid. Then logics kicked in, it was 7:20am in the morning, there were constant traffic where I was standing, not a lot, but for sure every 30s, at least a car will drive pass. The bus should be there within the next 5 mins at the latest. I knew i couldn't outrun him if i had to, so my best options were to keep calm, not ticked him off into doing anythign rash, and more importantly, if i Had to.. the main street was 2 mins run away. I was bankign on the bus coming, someone else coming to wait for the bus.
For the next 3 mins, there were numerous strategic back step to keep my 1.5 m from him. And me constantly telling him NO I HAVE TO GO TO A LECTURE!. Then, I got really fed up with his insistence that I told him "look, if you watn to go to the pub, it's that way, have a nice day" and to my relieve... he walked away. I wasn't sure if it's coz of what I said... but 5 second later, this other student came and waited for the bus with me.
That... was.... a really freaky experience. And yes for all I knew he could've really just wanted to 'have some fun' but still, the possibility of being attacked was so overwhelming. But at the end of the day... I am just glad nothing happened, and that I had 3 scoops of ice cream during lab to comfort myself with.
